[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, in today’s Gospel,
*a rich young man asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. There
is something absolutely right about the young man, something spiritually
alive, and that is his deep desire to share in everlasting life. He knows
what he wants, and he knows where to find it. *


*Jesus responds to his wonderful and spiritually alive question by
enumerating many of the Commandments. The young man takes this in and
replies, “Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth.” So Jesus
looks at him with love and says, “Go, sell what you have, and give to the
poor . . .  then come, follow me.” *


*God is nothing but love, straight through, and therefore the life of
friendship with him, in the richest sense, is a life of total love,
self-forgetting love. Jesus senses that this young man is ready for the
high adventure of the spiritual life: he is asking the right question, and
he is properly prepared. *

*But at this point the young man tragically balks. The spiritual life, at
the highest pitch, is about giving your life away, and this is **why the
many possessions are a*
* problem.*

*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.*
