[Grem] *****SPAM(5.1)***** Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

 Friends, our Gospel today gives us *Jesus’ raising of the son of the widow
of Nain*. This is a prime exemplification of the key Gospel truth that
*everything
Jesus said and did, in one way or another, is an anticipation of his
Resurrection. The God of Israel, the God of Jesus Christ, is a God of life,
a God of the living. He hates death and the ways of death.*
*The death in today’s Gospel *goes beyond the tragic loss of a loved one,
as awful as that is. In the context of Jesus’ time and place, this* is a
disaster for the widow. There is no social safety net, no insurance, no
guaranteed income*. *Unless she finds kindly neighbors who will support
her, she* i*s lost without* *her husband and, importantly, her “only son.”
This is why the heart of Jesus is especially moved with pity.*
Notice please that *the reaction of the bystanders is fear*. This is the
fear that comes from the turning upside-down of a world.
* This is also the reaction of the women at the tomb on Easter Sunday
morning. An evangelization that isn’t a little scary is an inadequate
evangelization. *
