[Grem] Gospel meditation + 'Úr angyala'

[Emoke Greschik]

 Friends, *today’s Gospel likens the kingdom of God to a king who gives a
wedding feast for his son*. The biblical authors couldn’t find a more apt
metaphor for *the coming together of divinity and humanity *than *a wedding
banquet. God and humanity are married, and they are surrounded by joy,
peace, celebration, and good food.*

*What was Jesus’ strategy? Open table-fellowship; outreach to all, to the
righteous and the unrighteous, to the healthy and the sick, to the
mainstream and the marginalized. Here comes everybody. You don’t have to be
good to receive God’s grace; that’s why they call it “grace.” *

*But then something puzzling emerges*. *When the king comes to welcome his
guests, he finds someone not properly dressed: “The king said to him, ‘My
friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding garment?’”* It
was customary at the time (as it still is) for people to come to a wedding
dressed up.

The play here is between grace and works. *We can refuse the invitation
altogether, or we can refuse the transformation that should follow from
grace*. *We*
*have to cooperate with grace, donning the wedding garment of love,
forgiveness, peace, and nonviolence. *

*Imádott Jézusom, *

*Lábunk együtt járjon, *

*Kezünk együtt gyűjtsön, *

*Szívünk együtt dobbanjon, *

*Bensőnk együtt érezzen, *

*Elménk gondolata egy legyen,  *

*Fülünk együtt figyeljen a csöndességre. *

*Szemünk egymásba nézzen és *

*Tekintetünk összeforrjon. *
*Ajkunk együtt könyörögjön az Örök Atyához irgalomért. Amen.*
