[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

 Friends, today in the Gospel, *Jesus gathers his disciples. And he
appoints twelve Apostles “that they might be with him and he might send
them forth to preach.”*
*St. Thérèse of Lisieux tells us that she endeavored to write down her
spiritual memoir at the prompting of her sister, who was also her religious
superior to whom she was bound in obedience. After praying that she say
nothing displeasing to Christ, she took up the Gospel of Mark, and her eyes
fell on these words: “Jesus went up the mountain and summoned those whom he
wanted and they came to him.”*
*This verse*, *she says, is the interpretive key to her life, for it
describes the way Christ has worked in her soul*:* “He does not call those
who are worthy, but those whom he pleases.” Hers was a story of a divine
love, graciously willing the good of the other, that awakens an imitative
reaction in the one who is loved.*
*It is not a narrative of economic exchange—rewards for worthiness*—
*but of the loop of grace, unmerited love engendering disinterested love,
the divine life propagating itself in what is other. *

*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.*
