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

[Emoke Greschik]

 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus tells *the parable of the sower.*
*In this famous story of the sower, *we* focus on the different types of
soil and apply them symbolically to ourselves. *Now, there is nothing wrong
with this interpretation as far as it goes, but I think that it misses what
was at the heart of the parable for Jesus.
Focus your attention on *this absolutely mad sower.* Imagine a crowd of
farmers listening to this parable*: a man goes out to sow and he throws the
seed on the path, on rocky soil, on thorny soil, and finally on good soil. *The
original hearers of this tale would have have exchanged glances and rolled
their eyes at the ridiculousness of this farmer.
That was precisely the reaction that Jesus wanted. For *God is like this
crazy farmer, sowing the seed of his word and his love—not only on
receptive soil, not only to those who will respond, but also on the path,
on the rocks, and the thorns, lavishly pouring out his love on those who
are least likely to respond. God’s love is irrational, extravagant,
embarrassing, unreasonable, completely over the top.*

*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.*
