[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today in our Gospel Jesus tells of a rich man who has been so
successful that he doesn’t have space enough to store his harvest. So he
tears down his barns and builds bigger ones. But that very night, he
dies—and all of it comes to naught. "Thus it will be for all who store up
treasure for themselves but are not rich in what matters to God."No matter
how good, how beautiful a state of affairs is here below, it is destined to
pass into nonbeing. That sunset that I enjoyed last night—that radiantly
beautiful display—is now forever gone. It lasted only a while. That
beautiful person—attractive, young, full of life, creative, joyful—will
eventually age, get sick, break down, and die. An image that always comes
to mind when I think of these things is the gorgeous firework that bursts
open like a giant flower and then, in the twinkling of an eye, is gone
forever. Everything is haunted by nonbeing. Everything, finally, is a
bubble.But this is not meant to depress us; it is meant to redirect our
attention precisely to the things that are "above," to the eternity of God.*
