[Grem] *****SPAM(5.2)***** Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends,* in today’s Gospel, Jesus gives us an antidote for fear.* *Who or
what are you afraid of? That is a very important spiritual question.* One
way to understand our lives is to look at those things that we seek:
wealth, power, privilege, honor, pleasure, friendship. But another way is
to turn that question around and determine what or who it is that we fear.
*We might fear the loss of material things, the loss of a job, the loss of
physical health, the loss of the esteem of others, the loss of personal
intimacy, or ultimately, the loss of life itself. *We are afraid of many
things, but I’d be willing to bet that there is a primary or principal
fear. What is it for you?

*Now, after identifying that, listen to Jesus: “Peace I leave with you; my
peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let
your hearts be troubled or afraid.” Any and all of the things that we
customarily fear—loss of money, fame, pleasure, and power—have to do with
this world*. *What Jesus is saying is that we should not* *let those fears
come to dominate or define our lives, for he is with us—and with him is his
peace.*


*Imádkozzál érettünk, Istennek szent Anyja!  Hogy méltók lehessünk Krisztus
ígéreteire!  Könyörögjünk! Kérünk téged, Úristen, öntsd lelkünkbe szent
kegyelmedet, hogy akik az angyali üzenet által szent Fiadnak, Jézus
Krisztusnak megtestesülését megismertük, az ő kínszenvedése és keresztje
által a föltámadás dicsőségébe vitessünk! Krisztus, a mi Urunk által. Ámen.*
