[Grem] A mai nagyböjti szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in our Gospel today Jesus tells the crowd that the Son of Man
will welcome the righteous into the kingdom, saying: "For I was hungry and
you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you
welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison
and you visited me." Puzzled, the righteous will ask when they did this,
and he will reply, "Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of
mine, you did for me." This is a powerful evocation of Jesus’ teaching
about the mutuality of our love for God and neighbor. The absolute love for
God is not in competition with a radical commitment to love our fellow
human beings, precisely because God is not one being among many, but the
very ground of our existence. Someone who operated very much in the spirit
of this teaching was Saint Teresa of Calcutta. A writer was once conversing
with her, searching out the sources of her spirituality and mission. At the
end of their long talk, she asked him to spread his hand out on the table.
Touching his fingers one by one as she spoke the words, she said, "You did
it to me." Reflect: Identify a needy person in your life, whether that need
is a physical or spiritual one. What can you do in the next week for that
person? *
