[Grem] *****SPAM(5.1)***** Gospel meditation (Bp.Barron)

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, *in our Gospel*, *Jesus defines the fundamental sacredness of
marriage. *I’m convinced that *the deep sacramental and religious meaning
of marriage*—*even within the Church*—*has been, in recent years,
dramatically compromised. *We say that *marriage is a vocation*, but do we
mean it?

*We can look at human sexual relationships at a number of different levels.
Two people can come together purely for physical pleasure, for economic
reasons, or for psychological companionship. And we might witness two
people coming together out of authentic love.*

*But none of these levels is what* *the Bible means by marriage*. When I
was doing parish work, I would invariably ask young couples,* “Why do you
want to get married in church?” Most would say something like, “We love
each other.” But *I said, *“Well*,* that’s no reason to get married in
church*.” Usually, they looked stunned. But I meant it.

*You come to church to be married before God and his people when you are
convinced that your marriage is not*, finally, *about you;* *that it is
about God and about serving God’s purposes*; that it is, as much as the
priesthood of a priest, a vocation, a sad calling.

*Mi Atyánk, aki a mennyekben vagy, szenteltessék meg a Te neved, jöjjön el
a Te országod, legyen meg a Te akaratod, amint a mennyben, úgy a földön is.
Mindennapi kenyerünket add meg nekünk ma és bocsásd meg a mi vétkeinket,
miképpen mi is megbocsátunk az ellenünk vétkezőknek, és ne vígy minket a
kísértésbe, de szabadíts meg a gonosztól. Mert Tiéd az ország, a hatalom és
a dicsőség most és mindörökké. Ámen. *
