Dal nostro DIACONO DANTE COLANDREA Riflessione del mese di
gennaio
OSIAMO DIRE "PADRE" Alessandro Pronzato
Osiamo dire "Padre", anche se... ci deludi, se le cose vanno
male e tu non intervieni. Anche se il male ci colpisce a tradimento
e tu non fai nulla per impedirlo. Ci ostiniamo a invocarti come
"Padre" anche se gridiamo e tu non rispondi, ci perdiamo e tu non
ci lanci un segnale, anche se abbiamo bisogno di un abbraccio e tu
ti neghi.
Continuiamo a chiamarti "Padre" anche se molti di noi
sperimentano la tua assenza, anche se le nostre domande rimangono
senza risposta. Abbiamo esaurito tutte le parole per dire la nostra
fame, la sete, la disperazione, la paura, la solitudine. Ci resta
quell'unica parola da spendere: "Padre" e tuttavia ci sembra che
quella parola non funzioni pi, sia come una moneta fuori corso, una
chiave fuori uso.
O forse, non basta dire "Padre", ma bisogna dirlo nel modo
appropriato. Probabilmente non abbiamo esaurito tutte le parole. Ne
conserviamo altre nel nostro vocabolario di figli diventati troppo
sapienti. E tu aspetti che ce ne liberiamo. Che disimpariamo a
parlare da adulti, e ritroviamo il balbettio del bambino che a
stento riesce a farfugliare un'unica parola.
Tu aspetti pazientemente che tiriamo fuori dal cuore quell'unica
parola-balbettamento per dire la nostra fede: "Abb..."
Allora sapremo semplicemente che ci sei. Che quella parola unica
ha avuto il potere, non di attirare la tua attenzione, ma di
ferirti. La scoperta fondamentale non quella della potenza del
padre, ma della sua debolezza, della sua vulnerabilit. Tutto certo
rester come prima. Problemi, fastidi, interrogativi, incidenti,
incomprensioni, delusioni, macigni che non si spostano...ma se ne
sar anata la paura.
S. Tu sei un Padre che non si stanca di aspettare che i figli
crescano fino a diventare piccoli. Si decidano a imparare tutto ci
che bisogna imparare fino ad arrivare a sapere una parola sola.
Vi ricordiamo cortesemente di pregare per tutti i malati della
nostra parrochia grazie.

Hoy se observa aca en los Estados Unidos el Dia de Oracin por la
proteccin legal de los nios no nacidos, un dia en el que podemos
afirmar en forma clara y rotunda que Dios ama a cada uno de estos
nios absolutamente vulnerables y quiere que vivan en la familia
humana. Es un dia en el que todos juntos podemos unirnos , salir a
marchar pblicamente y orar para que las autoridades pongan fin a la
prctica infanticida del aborto.
A todos nos ha dado Dios el valiossimo don de la vida; nos ha
llamado por nuestro propio nombre y nos ha destinado a cumplir sus
designios divinos. Vayamos , pues, hoy a darle gracias al Seor por
todo lo que ha hecho por nosotros y a implorar la proteccin de la
providencia divina para todos los nios no nacidos aun.
TOMADO DE LA PALABRA ENTRE NOSOTROS
III DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
Jess fue a Galilea cumpliendo as la profesa mesinica: El pueblo
que habitaba en tinieblas vio una gran luz. Jesucristo es la luz
que brilla en las tinieblas y que alum-bra a todo hombre.
Cuando Cristo llega se hace la luz, pero la luz exige un cambio
radical de conducta, que significa renunciar a la corriente del
mundo, que est impregnada de pecado, soberbia , falsedad y
violencia. A quienes le presta atencin, Jess les dice sigueme y
tambien nos lo dice a nosotros, y nos anun-cia que si aceptamos su
invitacin,l nos habilitar para ser Pescadores de hom-bres
Cuando Pedro y Andrs escucharon la invi-tacin de Jess, dejaron
su barca y lo sigui-eron. Hoy, Cristo nos invita a seguirlo y hacer
presente el Reino de Dios en el mun-do mediante la imitacin de sus
acciones, palabras y actitudes. Porque? Por que l es el camino, la
verdad y la vida. Dios tiene una llamada y un plan para cada ser
hu-mano, incluso para cada beb no nacido an que espera ver un da la
luz del mundo.
