[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi Bld. Özséb ünnepén

[Emoke Greschik]

* Friends, today in the Gospel, Jesus gathers his disciples. And he
appointed twelve Apostles “that they might be with him and he might send
them forth to preach.”St. Thérèse of Lisieux tells us that she endeavored
to write down her spiritual memoir at the prompting of her sister, who was
also her religious superior to whom she was bound in obedience. After
praying that she say nothing displeasing to Christ, she took up the Gospel
of Mark, and her eyes fell on these words: “Jesus went up the mountain and
summoned those whom he wanted and they came to him.”This verse, she says,
is the interpretive key to her life, for it describes the way Christ has
worked in her soul: “He does not call those who are worthy, but those whom
he pleases.” Hers was a story of a divine love, graciously willing the good
of the other, that awakens an imitative reaction in the one who is loved.*
*It is not a narrative of economic exchange—rewards for worthiness—but of
the loop of grace, unmerited love engendering disinterested love, the
divine life propagating itself in what is other.*

*Dicsőség az Atyának, a Fiúnak és a Szentléleknek most és mindörökké. Ámen.*
