Some time ago, in a program, someone said that Jesus Christ was a loser and can not be inferred optimism and desire to live by those with a crucifix, or rather a man who died on the cross as a religious symbol. Ironically
could answer that today, the crucifix is \u200b\u200bnot so much losing, as is often done between dangling gaudy (not to say irreverent) necklines of people who have little or nothing to do with Christ.
However, spoken by an atheist or a professing a different religion, these statements may irritate, annoy ... to say the least. But what we in the ranks of the losers, we can fight back? Jesus was a loser? How important our Crucified?
to the cross ...
Imagine a clear morning and late fall, just before sunset, on a day when the moon has already appeared in heaven and is already illuminated by the sun. Now sit back, take a crucifix and increase it in the direction of the Moon: what do we see?
If our eyes stops only real risk of being crucified on the losing side: it means stopping the death of Jesus, that happened a tragic, tormented and dishonorable. It could lead behind in this life, only the appearance of suffering, privation and penance, of contained joy. We see life as something whose end is a decision more or less the weighted God we are "carriers" of a sad religion, in which all the sins of the world depart from us.
and whoever believes in destiny is one of the first to fall in striking paradox "someone, some things, whether the search," thinking for a moment that there might be something, polite behavior, a good work I can do to lengthen the final moment.
In this situation, the Mass is an obligation, solidarity is due, early death is an injustice, peace is a slogan. The personal commitment to others is an option, given that we already do so in daily life and still there is always someone (even though these "angels" are decreasing) that does this for us.
If taking the crucifix to the Moon, we see only the crucifix is \u200b\u200blikely that the thought that Jesus was a loser in the end to at least hovering like a ghost in our minds, perhaps in a moment of distress. And maybe, we think it is worthwhile dedicating in this world more free and "liberating".
Look closer ...
But let's look better. Fix the crucifix, but then we go over with his eyes. We can see the moon? Yes? Well, then we went over the cross , we are paying attention to the Resurrection, that far in the rationality of the people! Incomprehensible to a purely rational mind.
The Moon is a place where few people have gone and someone has even doubted the real event. Just as the resurrection of Jesus Christ, crucified and risen , especially risen .
The word especially should always be added to the risen, to remember that the resurrection is the only way out that we have the end of life.
I have always believed that the conversions last minute (even celebrities) that occurred on his deathbed, at least for a significant percentage, are a tragic "smart" after living a life "free" by Cross (smart?), The 'impact on the final moment (tragic!) leaves no way out and the last bet you can do is to actually believe that someone is waiting for us in the afterlife. And that's when the celebrity comes to mind that some books say that he is risen.
The anxiety of the infinite ...
Let's go even further, with our crucifix in his hand pointing at the moon and let us now look beyond the moon! And 'look likely to slam against the sky, unable to penetrate it. Think this is the only thing we know that has no end! (Actually there are infinite numbers as a whole ... but are more tedious and complex)
When I look at the sky I feel a disquieting fear: my rational mind and I almost derailed when I think of fibrillation in an area that has an angle not a wall, not a bar of the border. So I try to convinvermi that heaven is something for me and my one day you will turn.
Heaven is eternal life, that I gain if I start to understand by now that hope is not only a virtue but it is taught catechism to the most important weapon that allows me to endure all things wrong, to say goodbye and not goodbye to a loved one in his last moment of life, to engage beyond my limits in order to build here on earth my resurrection.
It 's like to undergo an anesthesia before the operation: there is the fear that is not made perfect in the way that leads to pain during the operation itself.
All these words Happy Easter to augurvi?
I could make a copy and paste from the Internet of two doves, or an olive branch, and season with the hope a "felt" or "sincere", etc..
Wishing sincerely wish you a Happy Easter and Good Step (Passover, in Hebrew, meaning "step"): change from a loser to a vision that will win.
This is my wish!
