Saldivar, S.J.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Chegamos. Aqui estamos no limiar da Semana Santa. A nossa viagem pela Quaresma est\u00e1 quase completa. Estamos aqui, no Domingo de Palma, \u00e0s portas de Jerusal\u00e9m com Jesus. Apesar de todos conhecermos a hist\u00f3ria, o que comemoramos nos pr\u00f3ximos dias, Deus tem estado \u00e0 espera deste momento em particular, neste lugar em particular, para caminhar a Paix\u00e3o com todos n\u00f3s. Porque muitas vezes, particularmente depois da nossa segunda Quaresma da pandemia global COVID-19, precisamos de um lembrete de que o que celebramos n\u00e3o \u00e9 apenas o que Jesus fez h\u00e1 dois mil anos, mas o que Jesus est\u00e1 a fazer hoje. Precisamos de um lembrete de  Emmanuel \u2013 que Deus est\u00e1 connosco \u2013 de que Deus est\u00e1 intimamente envolvido no desenrolar das nossas vidas e na respira\u00e7\u00e3o do seu esp\u00edrito nas nossas comunidades.<\/p>\n<p>Precisamos da gra\u00e7a para confiar em Deus, e mesmo quando somos confrontados com os assustadores, os tristes, os fardos que parecem mais do que podemos suportar, \u00e9 precisamente nesse momento que Jesus agarra a nossa m\u00e3o mais apertada para nos puxar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Com isso em mente, ajuda lembrar que a palavra \"compaix\u00e3o\" significa \"sofrer com\", partilhar a paix\u00e3o de algu\u00e9m. Sim, partilhamos a paix\u00e3o e o sofrimento de Jesus, mas ele partilha muito da nossa paix\u00e3o individual, do nosso pr\u00f3prio sofrimento. Este Deus que tanto amou o mundo que quem quer que acredite nele, n\u00e3o pere\u00e7a mas ter\u00e1 vida eterna \u00e9 tamb\u00e9m Deus que nos ama tanto que vem at\u00e9 n\u00f3s como um de n\u00f3s,  para sentir a dor como n\u00f3s, chorar como n\u00f3s, para sentir a perda, o medo e a ang\u00fastia como n\u00f3s. Deus que nos ajuda a carregar as cruzes nas nossas vidas, sabendo em primeira m\u00e3o como se sentem muito pesados nas m\u00e3os humanas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">We have not been left orphans during the pandemic. God remains right here in the midst of our suffering, sharing the passion our entire world has been walking for more than a year. With vaccines on the way and ability to see a glimmer of what the world after COVID will look like, perhaps our long global Lent, the time of the pandemic, is finally at an end. Yet, the message of Palm Sunday is not to wait for terrible things to happen, for the joy of the moment to end, but to <em>hope<\/em> and <em>trust<\/em> in the Lord. We may not be able to clearly make out what the coming days hold, how we are going to get from point A to point B in our lives, but we know that we are God\u2019s beloved and if we are still enough can hear him say, \u201cAll will be well.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Writer is Global Policy and Advocacy Officer for Jesuit Justice and Ecology Network Africa (JENA). \u00c9 um jesu\u00edta da Calif\u00f3rnia, EUA.<\/h4>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Fernando C.
