[Grem] Gospel meditation + az Úrral való egység imája

[Emoke Greschik]

 Friends, in today’s Gospel, *Jesus teaches us how to correct a brother or
sister. * What is so rich here is the pursuit of the issue *with a deep
care for the person in question and also for the entire family of the
Church (since love is our constant call). *And then *the wonderful
conclusion: “If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he
refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile
or a tax collector.”*
This sounds, at first, like a total rejection, but *then we recall how
Jesus treated the Gentiles and tax collectors—eating with* t*hem*,
*pursuing* *them, drawing them into his circle*. There might be a moment of
rejection and expulsion in the process of *fraternal correction*, but it *is
only provisional and only for the sake of eventual reconciliation. *
                  *St. Augustine, who was never afraid to speak the hard
truth when necessary, followed the recommendations of Matthew 18* *very
concretely. Over the table in his episcopal residence where he dined with
the priests of his diocese hung a sign that read*: *“If you speak ill of
your brother here*,
*you are not welcome at this table. *

*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.*
