*Friends, in today’s Gospel the mother of James and John asks Jesus in
their names that they be honored in his kingdom. Jesus patiently attends to
their request and tries to clarify and redirect it. Then his final answer
comes: “But to sit at my right and at my left, this is not mine to give but
is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.” The Father has
prepared the place for one who will reign with Jesus when he comes into his
glory. *On Good Friday afternoon, the good thief turned to the crucified
Jesus and made a request that was similar to that of James and John:
“Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” And to him Jesus
responded, “Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

This crucified criminal w*as indeed in the very place that James and John,
in their naïve ambition, coveted. *The one who was drinking the same cup of
suffering as Jesus was privileged to reign with him. *L*

*et there be no limit to your ambition, as long as it conduces you to that
place alongside of the crucified Christ. *

*Reflect: Are you drinking your cup of suffering alongside Jesus? If so,
how do you think and feel about that suffering? *

*Vezess, drága fény, a sötétben, mely körülvesz,vezess hát engem!Sötét az
éj, hazám távol,vezess hát engem!Óvd léptemet: nem kívánom látni,mi messze
van, elég, ha egy lépést tudok tenni.*






*Nem mindig voltam ilyen; nem is kértem,hogy te vezess,utamat én szabtam
meg,de most te vezess!A harsány nap volt ínyemre, s bár féltem,gőg uralta
szívemet: bocsásd meg, mi volt.*






*Oly sokáig áldott erőd, hát biztosújra kész vezetni már,ingoványon s
sziklákon át, mígfel nem száll az éj,s a fénnyel angyalok mosolya nem
fogad,mit oly rég szerettem, de elhagytam utamon.*

(*Szt.John Henry Newman bíboros,* Görföl Tibor fordítása)
