*Friends, at the core of today’s Gospel is a portrait of our God, who is
prodigal. The father stands for the God whose very nature is to give, the
God who simply is love. And the younger son stands for all of us sinners
who tend to misunderstand how to access the divine love. *Since
*God exists only in gift form, his life, even in principle, cannot become a
possession. Instead, it is "had" only on the fly, only in the measure that
it is given away. When we cling to it, it disappears, according to a kind
of spiritual physics.*The Greek that lies behind "distant country" in the
parable is chora makra; that means, literally, "the great emptiness."
*Trying to turn the divine gift into the ego’s possession necessarily
results in nothing, nonbeing, the void.St. John Paul II formulated the
principle here as "the law of the gift"—that your being increases inasmuch
as you give it away. If clinging and possessing are the marks of the chora
makra, then the law of the gift is the defining dynamic of the father’s
house, where the robe and the ring and the fatted calf are on permanent
offer.*
*Dicsőség az Atyának, a Fiúnak és a Szentléleknek most és mindörökké. Ámen.*
