[Grem] *****SPAM(5.2)***** Gospel meditation (Bp. Barron)

[Emoke Greschik]

 Friends, today’s Gospel is *the story of the rich young man. The rich
young man has a deep desire to share in everlasting life. He is hungry for
the infinite good of the Spirit. He knows what he wants, and he knows where
to find it. Jesus is the infinite good that the soul wants. He is God’s own
self made flesh. *

*If you want to live in friendship with God, there are certain things that
you must cut out of your life. Friendship with God means a life of love;
therefore*,* those things that egregiously violate* *love have to be
eliminated.*

*Jesus looks at him with love and says, “If you wish to be perfect, go,
sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in
heaven. Then come, follow me.” God is nothing but love, straight through,
and therefore the life of friendship with him, in the richest sense, is a
life of total, self-forgetting love.     *

*But at this point the young man tragically balks*.* The spiritual life, at
the highest pitch, is about giving your life away, and this is why his many
possessions are a problem.*

*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.*
