Hungry for... what?
 ''I will send a famine on the land Not a famine for bread, Nor a thirst for wather, But of hearing the words of the Lord'' (Am 8,11) Yesterday I was mensioning some rothen figs, and this morning I have heard in first reading about figs. Well, it so not so often in Bible written about figs. Why this morning? And what about figs? Amos is speaking about himself as a one who is shepered and man who is working in field with a wild figs. Hm… whild figs…?! Why did he work with the wild figs? I supose there was some reason. For shure there were some fruits also. Becouse, if not – for what? Some figs man plant by himself, takes care, and it grows… that are not whild. Some other are groeing from seed that has fall on the good ground.  It is like with the disciples of Jesus. He call some of them (12), ''took them from the place they were living'' and ''planted'' them elswhere… And seed also has fallen on some good ground and there where other trees also, whild, but who were bringing fruits… although Jesus took special care about 12. For them He was founding more time. But others also where not left aside. He took care of whild also… and about others who where like fruitless. In Gospel we see Jesus who wants to pick up some fig. It's interesting to imagine Jesus picking up figs. He is hungry. (it must be that his stomack was complening sometimes loudly:-) ANd than that – anger… But what Jesus ih hungry for today? He is hungry in hungry people who wish to be feed with a bread, rise, soup, figs… with something… But He is hungry for US also. For each of us. For our words. For our love. For our time given to Him. He is hungry and waiting, and we… we maybe still don't belive that we are more precious to Him than anything created on this world, much more than any tree in the garden of Gardener who whants to spend his time with precious tree that it may bring fruits… (of spirit…) And we prayed today in prayers of faithfull for all of us to be fruitfull ground… Well, when we recognise ourself not so fruitfull… What to do but… Pray to the Good Lord something like we sang in todays antifona: Show us Lord your MERCY, and save us! |
