[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

 Friends, in today’s Gospel,* relatives of Jesus claim that he is mad.* *In
cases like this,* *the basic problem is always the fearful ego. Ego addicts
know that sometimes the best defense is a good offense. If you want to
protect the ego and its prerogatives, you must oppress and demoralize * *those
around you. *
There is a very unsubtle version of this method: *you attack, put down,
insult, and undermine those around you*. * This is the method of the
bully.* *But
the religious version is much subtler and thus more insidious and
dangerous. It takes the law *itself—*especially the moral law*—*and uses**
it **to accuse and oppress.* “I know what’s right and wrong; I know what
the Church expects of us; and I know that you are not living up to it.”
And *so I accuse you*; *I gossip about you*; I remind you of your
inadequacy. Mind you, *this is not to condemn the legitimate exercise of
fraternal correction or the office of preaching*. But *it’s a reminder not
to be sucked into the slavery of ego addiction*. *We* *must stay alert *to
this* and avoid it at all costs.*

*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.*
