[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, two words surface frequently in today’s Gospel: joy and
commandments. Now, I submit to you that these are not terms that we would
readily juxtapose. We usually associate commandments with the carrying out
of duty and responsibility, or laying down the law and establishing order
and discipline. But all of this seems opposed to joy. We find joy in God
alone, for our souls have been wired for God. We must acquire God if we are
to be joyful. But here’s the trick—and the whole of the Christian life is
on display here: God is love. God is self-emptying on behalf of the other.
But this means, paradoxically, that to acquire God is to make of oneself a
gift. To have God is to be what God is—and that means giving one’s life
away. That alone will make you joyful.Now we see the link between joy and
commandments: “This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.”
When we accept this commandment, we walk the path of joy. When we
internalize this law, we become happy. *

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