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

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, *the two most important words in our Gospel today are joy and
commandments. “I have told you this so that my joy might be in you and your
joy might be complete.” And, “If you keep my commandments, you will remain
in my love.”*
 These are not terms that we readily juxtapose. *We usually associate
commandments with the carrying out of duty and responsibility or with moral
rectitude, and that normally seems opposed to joy.*

*However, in Thomas Aquinas’ treatment of human behavior, the first
question raised is not about law or virtue, but rather joy**. **Thomas
wonders what the nature of true happiness is. What all of us seek*, *whether
we are young or old, *Christian or non-Christian, male or female, rich or
poor, * is joy.*
* The whole point of the moral life is to make us happy*.* So how do we
become happy?* *Thomas’ answer, which is in line with the great tradition,
is through the proper ordering of one’s desire*,* through learning how to
desire the right things and in the right way. And that’s precisely what* *Jesus
commands us to do.*


*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.*
