Por outras palavras, a Quaresma \u00e9 um tempo de ora\u00e7\u00e3o, jejum e esmola. Que nos lembremos de partilhar as suas b\u00ean\u00e7\u00e3os com os pobres e os menos privilegiados na comunidade da igreja e na sociedade em geral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Na primeira leitura de hoje do Profeta (Isa\u00edas 43:16-21), ouvimos a promessa do Senhor de abrir um caminho no deserto e criar rios no ermo. Esta imagem poderosa recorda-nos que Deus est\u00e1 sempre a fazer algo novo, trazendo sempre vida e esperan\u00e7a at\u00e9 aos lugares mais desolados e \u00e1ridos. Ao viajarmos pelas nossas pr\u00f3prias experi\u00eancias no deserto, que possamos confiar na promessa do Senhor de nos guiar, prover para n\u00f3s e nos levar a um lugar de abund\u00e2ncia e alegria. Que n\u00f3s, tal como os israelitas, olhemos para a nossa pr\u00f3pria hist\u00f3ria e vejamos as muitas formas como Deus nos tem sido fiel, e que possamos olhar para o futuro com esperan\u00e7a e expectativa, sabendo que Ele est\u00e1 sempre a fazer algo de novo nas nossas vidas e fam\u00edlias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Na segunda leitura de hoje, de <em>(Filipenses 3,8-14)<\/em>, S\u00e3o Paulo partilha a sua pr\u00f3pria caminhada espiritual, revelando que passou a considerar tudo o resto como perda, comparado com o valor insuper\u00e1vel de conhecer Cristo Jesus. As palavras de S\u00e3o Paulo desafiam-nos a examinar as nossas pr\u00f3prias prioridades e valores, e a perguntarmo-nos o que procuramos na vida. Ao procurarmos seguir Cristo, que n\u00f3s, como S\u00e3o Paulo, estejamos dispostos a abandonar tudo o que nos impede e que possamos prosseguir em dire\u00e7\u00e3o ao objetivo de conhecer Cristo e sermos conformados \u00e0 Sua imagem. Que a nossa pr\u00f3pria rela\u00e7\u00e3o com Cristo seja a for\u00e7a orientadora nas nossas vidas, moldando as nossas escolhas, os nossos valores e a nossa pr\u00f3pria identidade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">No Evangelho de hoje (Jo\u00e3o 8,1-11), assistimos ao dram\u00e1tico encontro entre Jesus e a mulher apanhada em adult\u00e9rio. Enquanto os fariseus e os escribas procuram conden\u00e1-la, a resposta de Jesus \u00e9 uma aula magistral de miseric\u00f3rdia e compaix\u00e3o. Ao escrever no p\u00f3, Jesus exp\u00f5e a hipocrisia dos seus acusadores e, com as palavras \u201cAquele de entre v\u00f3s que estiver sem pecado seja o primeiro a atirar uma pedra\u201d, Ele recorda-nos a todos a nossa necessidade de perd\u00e3o e miseric\u00f3rdia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meus queridos amigos, ao refletirmos sobre esta cena poderosa, que nos possamos lembrar do amor e da compaix\u00e3o ilimitados de Cristo e que possamos, como a mulher, experimentar a liberdade e a reden\u00e7\u00e3o que v\u00eam do Seu olhar misericordioso. Am\u00e9m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Desejo a todos uma Quaresma cheia de gra\u00e7a! Feliz novo m\u00eas de abril!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As mais selectas b\u00ean\u00e7\u00e3os de Deus sobre si e a sua fam\u00edlia.
