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

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends,* in today’s Gospel, Jesus is not offering us one more philosophy
of* *God.* *He is offering us the view from the inside of the Trinity. And
that is why we should respond to his compelling invitation*: *“Come to me,
all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” *

*What everyone wants is rest*, but not in the sense of relaxation. *Rest
here means achievement of joy.* *The great illusion is that joy will come
from filling up the ego with goods.* *In fact, it will come from emptying
out, from turning one’s life over to the direction of God. *

We also find in today’s Gospel those extraordinary words: *“Take my yoke
upon you and learn from me.” Jesus himself is bearing the yoke that he
speaks of since he is yoked to the Father, doing only what he sees the
Father doing. Jesus is*, in his innermost nature, *the one who listens and
obeys. *

*What he is saying, therefore, is to stand next to him, just as one ox
stands next to the other as they pull together*.
*Just as Jesus is yoked to the Father, so we should be yoked to him,
obeying him as he obeys the Father. *


*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.*
