TODAY: 14th
Sunday of Ordinary Time: “I
give praise to You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have
hidden these things from the wise and the learned, you have revealed to the
little ones!” Jesus uses the hymn
which the three young men, singing to God and blessing the Lord while in the
flames in Babylon. (Dan 3). They too, even though weak and small, were opposed
to the wisdom and power of the learned and powerful King’s advisers. They conquered the fire and evil, because
God was with them. For them this
miraculous deliverance was the true revelation of God the King. Nebukonoser
himself realized that there is no other God but the one in Israel. If one
would readily accept Jesus Christ’s message he has to be “little”; he must be
of open spirit and humble heart. The
wise and learned of this world very easily become Victims of blind pride. They think that they know everything and
they cannot learn anything new, and that nobody can teach them anything. Just the opposite are those who consider
themselves poor, who have no infused knowledge and they accept Jesus’ message
as the truth which makes them free and which cleanses their hearts. They feel overjoyed when they learn that
they are not left on their own, left defenseless. God has a privileged place in His Heart for the “little
ones”. Whether rich or poor they are
happy that God calls them to hear His Word.
In Jesus’ school there is nothing reserved only for social and elite
groups. Jesus’ truth is a common good
for all humanity.

DANAS: 14. Nedjelja Kroz Godinu: «Slavim Te, Oce Gospodaru neba i zemlje, što si ovo sakrio
od mudrih i umnih i objavio malenina!»
Isus se poslužio hvalospjevom koji zapjevaše tri mladica u
užarenoj peci u Babilonu (Dan 3). I oni su se, iako slabi i maleni,
suprotstavili mudrosti i sili ucenih i mocnih
kraljevskih savjetnika. Pobijedili su
vatru i zlobu, jer je Bog bio s njima.
Zanjih je to čcudesno oslobođenje bilo prava objava
Božja. Sam je kralj Nabukodonozor
spoznao da nema Boga osim u Izraelu.
Da bi netko spremno prihvatio poruku Isusa Kreista, potrebon je da u
duhu Isusovu bude «malen»; mora biti otvorena duha i ponizna srca. Mudri i umni ovoga svijeta vrlo lako
postaju žrtvom slijepe oholosti. Oni
misle da sve znadu i da više ništa novo ne mogu otkriti, ništa ni od koga nauciti. Njima nasuprot stoje oni koji ispovijedaju
da nemaju ulivena znanja, da su siromašni spoznajom i da prihvacaju
Isusovu nauku kao istinu koja ih oslobađa i cisti
njihova srca. Osjecaju se
presretnima, kad su naucili da nisu ostavljeni od
Boga i prepušteni na milost i nemilost neke krute nemilosne sudbine. Upravo u tom svijetu, koji njih vrlo cesto
yaboravlja, iskorištava i uvijek gura na okrajke života, Bog za njih «malene»
u svom Srcu ima povlašteno mjesto.
Sretni su radi spoznaje da su svi bez razlike, bili oni bogati ili
siromašni, pozvani da cuju Božju rijec. U Isusovoj školi nema nicega što
bi bilo pridržano samo nekoj intelektualnoj ili socijalnoj eliti. Isusova je istina zajednicko
dobro cijelog svijeta. |
