[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus tells his disciples not to store up
treasures for themselves on earth but to store up treasures in heaven,
“where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal.”
St. Augustine once said that since every creature is made ex nihilo, it
carries with it the heritage of nonbeing. There is a kind of penumbra or
shadow of nothingness that haunts every finite thing. This is a rather high
philosophical way of stating what all of us know in our bones: no matter
how good, beautiful, true, or exciting a thing or state of affairs is here
below, it is destined to pass into nonbeing. Think of a gorgeous firework
that bursts open like a giant flower and then, in the twinkling of an eye,
is gone forever. Everything is haunted by nonbeing; everything, finally, is
that firework.But this is not meant to depress us; it is meant to redirect
our attention precisely to the treasures of heaven, to the eternity of God.
Once we see everything in light of God, we can learn to love the things of
this world without clinging to them and without expecting too much of them.
Think of how much disappointment and heartache could be avoided if we only
learned this truth!  *

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