[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel Jesus identifies his disciples as his family. I
want to say something about our becoming disciples in his family. Once we
make the decision to follow Jesus then every other claimant to supremacy
must fall away. As I’ve argued many times before, every one of us has
something or some set of values that we consider greatest. Perhaps it is
money, material things, power, or the esteem of others. Perhaps it is your
family, your kids, your wife, your husband. None of this is false, and none
of these things are bad. But when you place any of them in the absolute
center of gravity, things go awry. When you make any of them your ultimate
or final good, your spiritual life goes haywire. When you attach yourself
to any of them with an absolute tenacity, you will fall apart. Only when we
make Christ the cornerstone of our lives are we truly ready for mission.
Keep in mind that every encounter with God in the Bible conduces to
mission, to being sent to do the work of the Lord. If we try to do this
work while we are stuck to any number of attachments, we will fail. Period.*
