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

[Emoke Greschik]

 Friends, in today’s Gospel, *the Lord tells some Jewish listeners that
they are enslaved to sin and that the truth will set them free.*

*Jesus was distinguishing between sin and** sins*,* between the underlying
disease and its many symptoms*. *When the Curé d’Ars was asked what wisdom
he had gained about human nature from his many years of hearing
confessions, he responded, “People are much sadder than they seem.” Blaise
Pascal rests his apologetic for Christianity on the simple fact that all
people are unhappy. This universal, enduring, and stubborn sadness is sin.*

*Now, this does not mean that sin* *is identical to psychological
depression. The worst sinners can be the most psychologically well-adjusted
people, and the greatest saints can be, by any ordinary measure, quite
unhappy.*

When I speak of *sadness in this context*, I mean *the deep sense of
unfulfillment. We* *want the truth*, *and we get it, if at all, in dribs
and drabs; we want the good*, *and we achieve it only rarely*; we seem to
know what we ought to be, but we are in fact something else. *This
spiritual frustration, this inner warfare, this debility of soul, is sin.*

*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.*
