[Grem] *****SPAM(5.2)***** Gospel meditation (Bp.Barron)

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, in today’s Gospel, *Jesus tells his disciples that he will be
rejected by men who will kill him and then he will rise from the dead.* *Having
just heard a vision of self-forgetting love, the disciples commence to
argue about which of them is the greatest.*

*At this point, Jesus proposes a solution. He sets a little child in their
midst and says, “Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and
whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.” What are children
capable of? They are capable of being commanded. They have not yet learned
the path of disobedience. *

*Also, little children are able to live radically in the present moment, to
be lost in play or in the contemplation of something beautiful*. *Most of
us live either in the past (savoring faded glory or licking old wounds) or
in the future (aspiring, hoping, fearing what might come).* *But God is
available, grace is available now. *

Anthony de Mello’s image is apt here: most of us are like people on a bus,
passing through the most beautiful country imaginable, but we have the
shades drawn and are arguing about who has first place on the bus!


*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.*
