[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, our Gospel features what the ancient Israelites referred to as the
shema: “*Hear, O Israel, the Lord your God is Lord alone.” *Could I invite
everyone to *make an examination of conscience* on the basis of the *shema*?*
Is God the one Lord of your life? Who or what are his rivals for your
attention, for your ultimate concern?* Or, to turn the question around:*
Does absolutely everything in your life belong to God?*
*But people might ask: How do we give ourselves to a reality that we cannot
see? This is where the second command of Jesus comes into play.* When asked
which is the first of all the commandments, Jesus responded with the *shema*,
but then he added a second command—namely*, “You shall love your neighbor
as yourself.”*
There is a strict logic at work here.
*When you really love someone, you tend to love, as well, what they love.
Well, what does God love? He loves everything and everyone that he has
made. So, if you want to love God, and you find this move difficult because
God seems so distant, love everyone you come across for the sake of God. *


*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.*
