Na primeira parte do Evangelho de hoje, ouvimos a resposta de Jesus a uma cren\u00e7a predominante em seu tempo: que o infort\u00fanio e a defici\u00eancia eram o resultado do pecado. Essa cren\u00e7a \u00e9 a raz\u00e3o pela qual Jesus \u00e9 questionado sobre de quem \u00e9 o pecado que causou a cegueira do homem, seu ou de seus pais. Jesus n\u00e3o responde diretamente, mas d\u00e1 \u00e0 pergunta uma dimens\u00e3o totalmente diferente por meio da defici\u00eancia desse homem, o poder de Deus se manifestar\u00e1. Jesus ent\u00e3o cura o homem. Esta \u00e9 a mensagem chave do Evangelho de hoje.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No primeiro domingo da Quaresma, Jesus foi tentado pelo dem\u00f4nio; na sua condi\u00e7\u00e3o de fraqueza f\u00edsica, resistiu \u00e0s tr\u00eas tenta\u00e7\u00f5es resumindo as realidades da nossa vida quotidiana em particular a inveja, o poder esquecendo-se que tudo vem somente do pai, o criador de todas as coisas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No segundo domingo, Jesus foi transfigurado na presen\u00e7a de seus tr\u00eas ap\u00f3stolos na montanha; um sinal de retiro, de ora\u00e7\u00e3o; oportunidade de rever sua vida. Uma voz do c\u00e9u como no dia do batismo nos lembrando que Jesus \u00e9 o filho amado de Deus e nos pedindo para ouvi-lo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No terceiro domingo, Jesus se apresenta como a \u00e1gua da vida, quem beber desta \u00e1gua nunca mais ter\u00e1 sede; ao pedir \u00e1gua a esta samaritana, Jesus vem acabar com o conflito entre o judeu e a samaritana, que h\u00e1 muito tempo n\u00e3o conseguiam ter um relacionamento; ele vem trazer a paz entre essas duas na\u00e7\u00f5es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hoje; quarto domingo da Quaresma, a revela\u00e7\u00e3o e o momento de ilumina\u00e7\u00e3o vem quando o homem cego de nascen\u00e7a encontra Jesus novamente. Tendo ouvido a not\u00edcia de sua expuls\u00e3o, Jesus procura o cego de nascen\u00e7a e se revela a ele como o Filho do Homem. Nesse momento, o cego de nascen\u00e7a se mostra um homem de f\u00e9 e adora a Jesus. O ensinamento deste domingo pode ser resumido em uma palavra curta, esta palavra \u00e9 \u201cF\u00c9\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">N\u00e3o \u00e9 a primeira vez que ouvimos esta pequena palavra, j\u00e1 a ouvimos v\u00e1rias vezes atrav\u00e9s das Sagradas Escrituras e muitas vezes temos dificuldade em viver esta f\u00e9. Ter f\u00e9 significa reconhecer que fomos criados por Deus e que tudo vem dele, nada sendo imposs\u00edvel; fazendo isso, herdaremos seu amor inesgot\u00e1vel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A cura \u00e9 controversa porque Jesus cura no s\u00e1bado. Os fariseus, as autoridades religiosas da \u00e9poca de Jesus, entendiam que a lei de Mois\u00e9s proibia o trabalho (inclusive a cura) no s\u00e1bado. Eles tamb\u00e9m t\u00eam dificuldade em acreditar que Jesus realizou um milagre. Para determinar se o homem realmente nasceu cego, os fariseus o questionam e a seus pais. O homem desafia os l\u00edderes da sinagoga sobre sua avalia\u00e7\u00e3o do bem que Jesus fez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus hoje abre nossos olhos e nos liberta do medo tornando-se um guia para todos n\u00f3s. Cada vez que pecamos, nossos olhos ficam nublados e somos limitados por nossos pecados; os pecados dos quais nos tornamos escravos, impedindo-nos de ser espiritualmente livres. Depois que Jesus cura o cego, Jesus desafia essa vis\u00e3o afirmando que a cegueira do homem n\u00e3o foi causada pelo pecado, mas sim uma oportunidade para o poder de Deus ser exibido, embora ele fa\u00e7a isso em um s\u00e1bado, somos solicitados a praticar carregar fazer boas a\u00e7\u00f5es, n\u00e3o importa a hora, o lugar ou\u00a0para quem? O que importa \u00e9 como podemos ver o bem em cada um de n\u00f3s, abandonar nossos pecados e segui-Lo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Ora\u00e7\u00e3o:<\/strong> <em>Neste quarto domingo da Quaresma, pe\u00e7amos a Deus que cure a nossa cegueira espiritual que nos impede de ver como Deus v\u00ea, para que com o Cego possamos dizer: \u00abCreio, Senhor\u00bb e depois passar \u00e0 ador\u00e1-lo como ele fez.<\/em><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre id=\"block-d4472908-6c66-49ee-a569-0aa2028c5769\" class=\"wp-block-preformatted\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><em>Por, Monsieur Dieumerci LONDJIRINGA DRAMANI<\/em>\nAluna<\/pre>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Readings 4th Sunday of Lent (Year A): 1st Reading. 1 Samuel 16:1b, 6 \u2013 7, 10 \u2013 13a.
