[Grem] A mai nagyböjti szentmise igéi Istenes Szt. János szerzetes, az Irgalmasrend alapítója ünnepén

[Emoke Greschik]

 Az alábbi mai Bp. Barron elmélkedés nem a fenti evangéliumi részhez
tartozik, de azért kiküldöm.

*Friends, in today’s Gospel, the mother of James and John asks Jesus in
their name 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 was 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. Let there be no limit
to your ambition, as long as it conduces you to that place alongside of the
crucified Christ.*

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