[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus tells *the parable of the tenants*. *This
is one of the most terrible anticipations of the cross*. *In a final
attempt to make his vineyard fruitful, God sent his only begotten Son, but
even he was rejected.*
*How are we tending the vineyard? We* *have received so much from God,
but* *are
we making* *the world fruitful?* *Are we *r*esponding to the Lord’s
invitation with the works of justice, love, peace, chastity, respect for
others?* *Or are we more or less killing the messengers?*
There are many ways to look at contemporary secularism and relativism. *A
secularist world is one that has grown intentionally deaf to* t*he voice of
the Spirit. St. John Paul II called* *it “the culture of death*.” God, as
is his wont, allows us to feel the effects of our sin.
Okay, *but we are never meant to read the Gospel and end up depressed*. *The
Gospel is always Good News. God has not given up on us!* *He turns the sign
of defeat into the sign of victory. The very one whom we reject is the one
whom he gives back to us as a source of life.*


*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.*
