*Friends, in today’s Gospel Jesus proclaims during the Feast of Tabernacles
that the Father has sent him. In his passion to set right a disjointed
universe, God broke open his own heart in love. The Father sent not simply
a representative, spokesman, or plenipotentiary, but his own Son into the
dysfunction of the world so that he might gather that world into the bliss
of the divine life. God’s center—the love between the Father and the Son—is
now offered as our center; God’s heart breaks open so as to include even
the worst and most hopeless among us. In so many spiritual traditions, the
emphasis is placed on the human quest for God, but this is reversed in
Christianity. Christians do not believe that God is dumbly "out there,"
like a mountain waiting to be climbed by various religious searchers. On
the contrary, God, like the hound of heaven in Francis Thompson’s poem,
comes relentlessly searching after us. Because of this questing and
self-emptying divine love, we become friends of God, sharers in the
communion of the Trinity. That is the essence of Christianity; everything
else is commentary.*

*Reflect: How has God come "relentlessly searching" for you during your
life? *
* Ó bűn nélkül fogantatott Szűz Mária, könyörögj értünk, kik hozzád
menekülünk! *
