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

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, in our Gospel, *Jesus speaks, with incredible bluntness, about
cutting off one’s hand and foot and plucking out one’s own eye*. I*f these
things are a block to your salvation, get rid of them*,* for it is better
to enter life maimed than*
*to enter Gehenna with all of your limbs and members.*

*The hand is the organ by which we reach out and grasp things. The soul is
meant for union with God, but instead we have reached out to creatures,
grasping at finite things with all of our energies.*
*The Lord also speaks of the foot.* *The foot is the organ by which we set
ourselves on a definite path.* *We are meant to walk on the path that is
Christ.* *Do we?* *Or have we set out down a hundred errant paths, leading
to glory, honor, power, or pleasure? *
*We are designed to seek after and look for God.* *Have we spent much of
our lives looking in all the wrong places, beguiled by the beauties and
enticements of this world?*
*And are we willing to pluck out our eyes spiritually, to abandon many of
the preoccupations that have given us pleasure. *


*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.*
