Jean-Claude Jimmy Bindanda K., SJ.,<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diretora do Centre Maisha, Kisangani, Rep\u00fablica Democr\u00e1tica do Congo.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Caros irm\u00e3os e irm\u00e3s,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paz e alegria em Cristo Jesus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ap\u00f3s o tempo do Advento, que nos preparou bem para receber o Cristo Menino em nossa situa\u00e7\u00e3o concreta no dia a dia, a Igreja, nossa m\u00e3e, nos oferece um novo tempo forte, o tempo da Quaresma. Este tempo nos prepara para caminhar com Cristo em seu minist\u00e9rio p\u00fablico, para comungar com sua paix\u00e3o, sua morte e sua ressurrei\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Se no primeiro domingo da Quaresma fomos mergulhados nas \u00e1guas batismais do dil\u00favio de Cristo, impulsionados pelo Esp\u00edrito para enfrentar, na ora\u00e7\u00e3o, o deserto de nosso pr\u00f3prio cora\u00e7\u00e3o, o segundo domingo da Quaresma iluminou nossos cora\u00e7\u00f5es com a luz de Cristo transfigurado. Nessa luz, todo nosso ser e toda a cria\u00e7\u00e3o s\u00e3o convidados a ser purificados, transfigurados e, portanto, a ressuscitar com Cristo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neste terceiro domingo da Quaresma, a sagrada Escritura nos aconselha a n\u00e3o fechar nosso cora\u00e7\u00e3o, a n\u00e3o sermos livres como el\u00e9trons, mas a nos conformarmos com a lei de Deus, a do amor. Jesus n\u00e3o suporta tudo o que vem destruir o amor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hoje, em Jerusal\u00e9m para a festa da P\u00e1scoa, Jesus visita lugares simb\u00f3licos da f\u00e9 judaica. Ele entra no Templo e o encontra sendo profanado por comerciantes judeus. \"Ele os expulsa todos do Templo\". Com isso, Jesus realiza um ato apropriado, declarando a perda de sentido do \"sagrado\" e lembrando o significado fundamental: \"N\u00e3o fa\u00e7am da casa de meu Pai uma casa de com\u00e9rcio\". H\u00e1 aqui um questionamento sobre como habitar o Templo, ou melhor ainda, sobre a qualidade de todos os relacionamentos com o Corpo de Cristo, com os irm\u00e3os, com a natureza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hoje, em nossas sociedades globalizadas e digitalizadas em geral, a troca se tornou mercantil, tudo se compra, tudo se vende, tudo passa por todo tipo de negocia\u00e7\u00f5es, com todo tipo de pactos obscuros que levam a desigualdades sociais, individualismo, viol\u00eancia, injusti\u00e7a, e at\u00e9 mesmo a desvaloriza\u00e7\u00e3o sem escr\u00fapulos dos relacionamentos e da vida humana. O amor entre pr\u00f3ximos, vizinhos e na\u00e7\u00f5es passa pelos interesses, de modo que a consist\u00eancia do pr\u00f3ximo se esvazia de seu sentido evang\u00e9lico. Os casos de abuso de crian\u00e7as e pessoas vulner\u00e1veis, o fen\u00f4meno dos \u00f3rf\u00e3os infectados e afetados pelo HIV e AIDS no mundo em geral, e a imagem no leste da Rep\u00fablica Democr\u00e1tica do Congo da crian\u00e7a que trata de sua m\u00e3e morta a golpes de machado e crivada de balas no contexto atual de uma guerra injusta, questionam nossa consci\u00eancia e nossa responsabilidade como guardi\u00f5es do Templo ou da criatura humana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Na continua\u00e7\u00e3o da p\u00e1gina do Evangelho de hoje, Jesus vai restaurar a possibilidade efetiva do verdadeiro amor, da responsabilidade e do relacionamento entre Deus Criador e n\u00f3s, suas criaturas, e por meio de n\u00f3s, toda nossa \"casa comum\". Por meio de seu corpo oferecido em total ren\u00fancia, ele nos d\u00e1 a vida. Este \u00e9 o verdadeiro lugar de troca entre Deus e n\u00f3s. Este corpo pregado na madeira da mis\u00e9ria do mundo nos conduz, pelo amor que se doa e atrav\u00e9s do mist\u00e9rio pascal, \u00e0 gl\u00f3ria do Pai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00c0 medida que avan\u00e7amos para a P\u00e1scoa, que possamos, enquanto nos entregamos \u00e0 for\u00e7a deste Deus Amor que se doa a n\u00f3s, contemplar a manifesta\u00e7\u00e3o deste amor gratuito, e perceber a cada momento de nossa vida o quanto pisoteamos os lugares sagrados, o quanto relativizamos e levamos levemente o barco de nossa vida eterna, o quanto barganhamos nossos valores crist\u00e3os, o quanto n\u00e3o soubemos amar, e assim, o quanto negamos nossa troca com Deus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Precisamos de uma verdadeira convers\u00e3o, de uma total ren\u00fancia de n\u00f3s mesmos, para estarmos prontos para receber e dar apenas o amor de Deus ao nosso redor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Am\u00e9m.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>True love, responsibility and relationship between God the Creator and us First Reading: Exodus 20:1-17 | &nbsp;Responsorial Psalm:&nbsp;Psalm 18(19):8-11 |&nbsp;Second Reading:1 Corinthians 1:22-25 |&nbsp; Gospel:&nbsp;John 2:13-25 This Sunday\u2019s reflection is by, Fr.
