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

[Emoke Greschik]

Gospel meditation for *'Finding 12-year old Jesus in the temple'*
Friends, today’s Gospel tells *the *familiar* story of Mary and Joseph
finding twelve-year-old Jesus in the temple*.* When they find him, they
upbraid him with understandable exasperation: “Son, why have you done this
to us?” But Jesus responds, “Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s
house?*”
*The story conveys a truth that runs sharply counter to* *our sensibilities*:
*even the most powerful familial emotions * *must, in the end, give way to
mission.* *Though she felt an enormous pull in the opposite direction, Mary
let her son go*,* allowing him to find his vocation in the temple.*
Legitimate sentiment devolves into sentimentality precisely when it comes
to supersede the call of God.
*On a biblical reading,* *the family is, above all, the forum in which both
parents and children are able to discern their missions*.
* It is perfectly good, of course, if deep bonds and rich emotions are
cultivated within the family, but those relationships and passions must
cede to something that is more fundamental, more enduring, more spiritually
focused. *

*The paradox is this: precisely in the measure that everyone in the family
focuses on God’s call for one another, the family becomes more loving and
peaceful. *

*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.*
