Como recepcionista, geralmente trabalho silenciosamente nos bastidores, atendendo telefones e dando as boas-vindas aos visitantes que entram e saem da Africama House. No entanto, ao cumprir essas obriga\u00e7\u00f5es di\u00e1rias, \u00e9 f\u00e1cil envolver-me nas atividades da minha profiss\u00e3o, ignorando a sua maior import\u00e2ncia espiritual. O tempo de Quaresma nos convida a parar, olhar al\u00e9m da superf\u00edcie e refletir profundamente o que \u00e9 importante, assim como Jesus fez no deserto durante quarenta dias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hoje, ao refletir sobre a leitura do Evangelho do Primeiro Domingo da Quaresma, sou comovida pela hist\u00f3ria de Jesus sendo levado ao deserto. No deserto, Jesus enfrentou tenta\u00e7\u00f5es e lutas, mas triunfou gra\u00e7as \u00e0 sua liga\u00e7\u00e3o e cren\u00e7a em Deus. Esta hist\u00f3ria serve como um poderoso lembrete de que a Quaresma \u00e9 mais do que apenas renunciar \u00e0s nossas posses materiais, mas tamb\u00e9m sobre fortalecer nossa conex\u00e3o espiritual com Deus. Ao refletirmos sobre o evangelho, somos lembrados da import\u00e2ncia da nossa pr\u00f3pria experi\u00eancia no deserto em nossas jornadas espirituais pessoais. Assim como Jesus, podemos enfrentar prova\u00e7\u00f5es, tenta\u00e7\u00f5es e incertezas, mas nossa conex\u00e3o com Deus nos ajudar\u00e1 a superar todos os desafios. O deserto representa um tempo de teste e purifica\u00e7\u00e3o no qual somos desafiados a enfrentar nossas pr\u00f3prias falhas e nos aproximarmos de Deus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eu posso n\u00e3o ter tido a mesma experi\u00eancia que Jesus no deserto, mas enfrento minhas pr\u00f3prias dificuldades e tenta\u00e7\u00f5es enquanto ao longo do meu trabalho. \u00c0s vezes, estou inclinada a deixar minhas frustra\u00e7\u00f5es tomarem conta de mim, e isso muitas vezes me impede de ver al\u00e9m da minha miss\u00e3o. Este tempo de Quaresma me inspira a rejeitar as tenta\u00e7\u00f5es e pensamentos malignos que me impediriam de realizar a minha miss\u00e3o aqui na Terra. Portanto, enquanto continuo a trabalhar aqui em Africama House, levarei comigo as li\u00e7\u00f5es que Jesus nos ensinou no deserto. Quando confrontado com problemas, darei um passo para tr\u00e1s e meditarei, confiando em Deus para me guiar e me fornecer as for\u00e7as que preciso para resistir a quaisquer tenta\u00e7\u00f5es.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Durante este tempo de Quaresma, somos lembrados de resistir \u00e0s tenta\u00e7\u00f5es que desviam nosso foco do compromisso de servir os outros com amor e humildade. Que este tempo seja de transforma\u00e7\u00e3o, abandonando velhos h\u00e1bitos e descobrindo um novo senso e prop\u00f3sito. E quando chegarmos ao fim deste tempo, que possamos ficar de p\u00e9, alimentados pelos ideais do evangelho e motivados a fazer a diferen\u00e7a na vida daqueles a quem servimos.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The importance of our own desert experience in our personal spiritual journeys.
