Michael Odhiambo SJ, Col\u00e9gio Jesu\u00edta Ocer Campion, Uganda.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">O profeta Isa\u00edas est\u00e1 a dar-nos uma antevis\u00e3o dos acontecimentos anteriores \u00e0s ocorr\u00eancias da paix\u00e3o de Cristo. Ele desperta a nossa consci\u00eancia para dois acontecimentos que culminam na gl\u00f3ria de Jesus Cristo. Proclama: \u201cenquanto muitos ficavam at\u00f3nitos diante dele, a sua apar\u00eancia estava t\u00e3o desfigurada, que ultrapassava a semelhan\u00e7a humana, e a sua forma, al\u00e9m da dos filhos dos homens\u201d. Isto tem uma estreita liga\u00e7\u00e3o com os acontecimentos da transfigura\u00e7\u00e3o no evangelho de Lucas (9:28-36). Levando-nos a estes acontecimentos importantes, Jesus sobe a montanha com os seus disc\u00edpulos para orar e \u00e9 durante este momento que o seu rosto muda e as suas vestes brilham, e ouve-se uma voz reconfortante que diz: \"Este \u00e9 o meu amado, em quem pus todo o meu agrado\". Um evento contr\u00e1rio com um caminho semelhante tamb\u00e9m \u00e9 encontrado, quando Jesus \u00e9 levado e pendurado na cruz depois de ser ridicularizado e despido. O seu rosto est\u00e1 cheio de sangue, escorrendo das feridas associadas \u00e0 coroa de espinhos e das roupas que, a dada altura, foram lan\u00e7adas \u00e0 sorte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concentrando-me em Cristo, imagino a sensa\u00e7\u00e3o de estar no ponto mais alto de consola\u00e7\u00e3o e a mudan\u00e7a que o coloca no ponto mais baixo de desola\u00e7\u00e3o. Olhando para as pessoas aos p\u00e9s da cruz, que outrora cantaram Hossana Hossana, mudando o tom para o crucificar, crucifique-o. Que sensa\u00e7\u00e3o de vazio! Um homem inocente perseguido pela justi\u00e7a popular. Perseguido porque curou os doentes ao s\u00e1bado, porque comeu e bebeu com os intoc\u00e1veis, perseguido por desafiar um status quo opressivo e por n\u00e3o corresponder \u00e0s expectativas das pessoas ou n\u00e3o alinhar com os seus preconceitos. Em tudo isto, Cristo suporta a dor em sil\u00eancio, sem se queixar e sem tentar defender-se. Ao contemplar Cristo na cruz, a sua atitude conquista o meu cora\u00e7\u00e3o e sou movido a questionar: haver\u00e1 maior amor do que este?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Poder\u00edamos olhar para estas ocorr\u00eancias e sentirmo-nos justificados em dizer que Cristo estava simplesmente a obedecer \u00e0 vontade do Pai. Creio que \u00e9 mais do que isso. Cristo ama a vontade do Pai e est\u00e1 comprometido com ela, custe o que custar. Quantas vezes desistimos do nosso compromisso com Cristo? Quantas vezes o rejeitamos por a\u00e7\u00f5es e palavras? Quantas vezes, por medo ou intimida\u00e7\u00e3o, abandonamos o que \u00e9 um bem maior e recorremos \u00e0s nossas inten\u00e7\u00f5es e desejos ego\u00edstas? Ao movermo-nos para caminhar com Cristo durante a sua paix\u00e3o e, finalmente, a sua morte na cruz, pedimos a gra\u00e7a de O acompanharmos corajosamente e testemunharmos a fealdade dos nossos pecados que o filho do homem transporta consigo at\u00e9 \u00e0 sua execu\u00e7\u00e3o. Rezamos para que, ao contemplar o seu amor, n\u00e3o s\u00f3 sejamos movidos \u00e0 convers\u00e3o, mas tamb\u00e9m sejamos atra\u00eddos a refletir sobre a nossa resposta a esse amor. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Am\u00e9m.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First Reading: Isaiah 52: 13 \u2013 53: 12; Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 31: 2, 6, 12-13, 15-16, 17, 25; Second Reading: Hebrews 4: 14-16; 5: 7-9; Verse Before the Gospel: Philippians 2: 8-9; Gospel: John 18: 1 \u2013 19: 42 The Good Friday Reflection is by,\u00a0Br.
