[Grem] *****SPAM(6.2)***** Re: A mai nayböjti szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today’s Gospel exposes the pride of the Pharisees and concludes
with the prescription of humility. I want to reflect on this virtue. St.
Augustine said that all of us, made from nothing, tend toward nothing. We
can see this in **our frailty and sin and mortality.*

* St. Paul said, "What do you possess that you have not received? But if
you have received it, why are you boasting as if you did not receive it?"
To believe in God is to know these truths. To live them out is to live in
the attitude of humility. **Thomas Aquinas said humilitas veritas, meaning
humility is truth. *





*It is living out the deepest truth of things: God is God and we are not.
Now, all of this sounds very clear when it’s stated in this abstract
manner, but man is it hard to live out! In our fallen world, we forget so
readily that we are creatures. We start to assume that we are gods, the
center of the universe. The ego becomes a massive monkey on our backs, and
it has to be fed and pampered constantly. What a liberation it is to let go
of the ego! Do you see why humility is not a degradation, but an elevation?*

*Reflect: What do you possess that you have not received? *














* Krisztus lelke, szentelj meg engem! Krisztus teste, üdvözíts engem!
Krisztus vére, ihless meg engem! Krisztus oldalából kifolyó víz, moss
tisztára engem! Krisztus kínszenvedése, erősíts meg engem! Ó, jóságos
Jézus, hallgass meg engem! Szent sebeidbe rejts el engem! Ne engedd, hogy
elszakadjak tőled! A gonosz ellenségtől oltalmazz engem! Halálom óráján
hívj magadhoz engem! Add, hogy eljussak hozzád, és szentjeiddel dicsérjelek
téged, mindörökkön-örökké. Ámen.  (Loyolai Szt. Ignác) *
