\"\"\u00cen a patra duminic\u0103 din Postul Mare, s-a citit Evanghelia vindec\u0103rii fiului lunatic. Avem aceast\u0103 imagine a M\u00e2ntuitorului care Se coboar\u0103 de pe Tabor cu cei trei ucenici \u0219i d\u0103 peste tat\u0103l \u00eendurerat, care se pl\u00e2nge c\u0103 a dus pe fiul s\u0103u la apostoli \u0219i nu l-au putut vindeca. Iar M\u00e2ntuitorul Se adreseaz\u0103 tuturor \u0219i zice, \u201eO, neam necredincios, p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd voi fi cu voi?\u201d. A\u0219a zice la Evanghelia dup\u0103 Marcu (9, 19), iar la Evanghelia dup\u0103 Matei adaug\u0103, \u201eO, neam necredincios \u0219i \u00eend\u0103r\u0103tnic, p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd voi fi cu voi?\u201d (17, 17); o caracterizare mai bun\u0103 a neamului nostru.<\/p>

M\u00e2ntuitorul depl\u00e2nge necredin\u021ba \u0219i \u00eend\u0103r\u0103tnicia oamenilor. \u0218i noi, care am cunoscut bun\u0103tatea \u0219i iubirea lui Dumnezeu \u00een via\u021ba noastr\u0103, tot ne ar\u0103t\u0103m necredincio\u0219i. Facem \u0219i noi precum Moise \u00een pustie. Evreii tot cereau ap\u0103. \u0218i i-a zis Dumnezeu lui Moise: \u201egr\u0103i\u021bi st\u00e2ncii \u00eenaintea lor \u0219i ea v\u0103 va da ap\u0103\u201d (Numerii 20, 8). Poporul tot c\u00e2rtea \u0219i, c\u00e2nd s\u0103 loveasc\u0103, zice Moise: \u201eau doar\u0103 din st\u00e2nca aceasta v\u0103 vom scoate ap\u0103?\u201d. Tu, Moise, care vorbeai fa\u021b\u0103 c\u0103tre fa\u021b\u0103 cu Dumnezeu (cf. Numerii 12, 8), c\u0103ruia i-a dat Legea, care ai primit at\u00e2tea, tocmai tu ai ajuns s\u0103 spui: \u201eau doar\u0103\u201d?! Pentru aceast\u0103 manifestare de necredin\u021b\u0103, Moise nu a intrat \u00een P\u0103m\u00e2ntul F\u0103g\u0103duin\u021bei (cf. Numerii 20, 12).<\/p>

A\u0219a facem \u0219i noi. Cu toate c\u0103 am primit at\u00e2ta ajutor, at\u00e2ta har \u0219i m\u00e2ng\u00e2iere, at\u00e2tea minuni, at\u00e2tea bun\u0103t\u0103\u021bi de la El, tot ajungem s\u0103 spunem, \u201eOare m\u0103 iube\u0219te Dumnezeu? Oare Dumnezeu este cu mine, este aproape? Oare m\u0103 mai prime\u0219te Dumnezeu?\u201d, ca \u0219i evreii \u00een pustie: \u201eEste, oare, Domnul \u00een mijlocul nostru sau nu?\u201d (Ie\u0219irea 17, 7). Cum s\u0103 nu m\u0103 primeasc\u0103 dac\u0103 a venit pe p\u0103m\u00e2nt \u0219i S-a r\u0103stignit pentru mine \u0219i m\u0103 a\u0219teapt\u0103?!<\/p>

Acestea fiind spuse, am dori s\u0103 vorbim despre o posibil\u0103 vindecare de necredin\u021b\u0103, pornind de la un cuv\u00e2nt pe care p\u0103rintele Arsenie Papacioc \u00eel spunea adeseori: \u201eS\u0103 \u0219tii s\u0103 mori \u0219i s\u0103 \u00eenviezi \u00een fiecare zi pentru Hristos, Domnul nostru!\u201d. Personal, mi-a luat c\u00e2\u021biva ani de zile pentru a-i p\u0103trunde \u00een\u021belesul, de\u0219i, de prima dat\u0103 mi-am dat seama c\u0103 este un cuv\u00e2nt extraordinar. Abia dup\u0103 ce am intrat \u00een m\u0103n\u0103stire l-am \u00een\u021beles deplin. Aici, noi promitem s\u0103 facem ascultare. \u00cen practic\u0103, ascultarea ia forma t\u0103ierii voii. Adic\u0103, nu faci ce \u0219i cum vrei tu, nu m\u0103n\u00e2nci c\u00e2nd sau ce vrei tu, nu dormi c\u00e2t vrei tu. Toate acestea sunt forme de a muri. Via\u021ba mea se exprim\u0103 prin voia mea. De fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd mi se refuz\u0103 voia mea, sunt \u201eomor\u00e2t\u201d. \u0218i dac\u0103 \u00eenv\u0103\u021b s\u0103 primesc asta ca moarte pentru Hristos, de dragul Lui, cum a f\u0103cut-o \u0219i El pe Cruce, de dragul meu, atunci tot El m\u0103 va \u00eenvia. \u0218i a\u0219a \u00eenv\u0103\u021b\u0103m moarte \u0219i \u00eenviere pentru Hristos \u00een fiecare zi.<\/p>

\u00cen esen\u021b\u0103, acest cuv\u00e2nt este \u201eo tem\u0103 de cas\u0103\u201d pentru fiecare dintre noi. Adic\u0103, fiecare dintre noi trebuie s\u0103 g\u0103seasc\u0103 modul propriu de a-l \u00eemplini \u00een via\u021ba sa. Dac\u0103 \u00eel vom pune \u00een fiecare zi \u00een aplicare, vom face lucr\u0103tor harul pe care fiecare l-am primit la botez \u0219i \u00een felul acesta vom p\u0103stra \u0219i \u00eenmul\u021bi credin\u021ba. Acest mod de a tr\u0103i va da tonul vie\u021bii mele de cre\u0219tin. El ne va ajuta s\u0103 ne ad\u00e2ncim \u00een tr\u0103irea cre\u0219tin\u0103, \u00een \u00een\u021belegerea duhului Evangheliei \u0219i \u00een asem\u0103narea cu Hristos. Ne va l\u0103rgi inima (cf. II Corinteni 6, 13).<\/p>

Ne spun P\u0103rin\u021bii c\u0103 al nostru este a muri, a ne cobor\u00ee, a ne smeri, iar al lui Dumnezeu este a ne \u00eenvia, a ne ridica, a ne \u00een\u0103l\u021ba. Cuv\u00e2ntul P\u0103rintelui Arsenie este esen\u021bial. E un proces de \u00eenv\u0103\u021bare care se deprinde cu mult\u0103 st\u0103ruin\u021b\u0103. A\u0219a, e u\u0219or de spus, dar \u00een practic\u0103 este mai greu. \u0218i poate fi \u0219i mutilant, dac\u0103 nu o facem \u201epentru Hristos, Domnul nostru\u201d. De aceea mul\u021bi se pl\u00e2ng, \u0219i \u00een familii, \u0219i \u00een m\u0103n\u0103stiri, din pricina r\u0103nilor (\u201emor\u021bilor\u201d) nevindecate (\u201ene\u00eenviate\u201d). Trebuie s\u0103 am o credin\u021b\u0103 foarte puternic\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103 \u0219tiu de ce primesc ocara asta, de ce \u00eentorc obrazul, de ce m\u0103 supun etc. Pentru Hristos, Domnul nostru! C\u00e2nd \u00eenv\u0103\u021b\u0103m, abia atunci \u00eencepem s\u0103 \u00eemplinim Evanghelia. Cuv\u00e2ntul P\u0103rintelui Arsenie este proiec\u021bia \u00eentregii Evanghelii la nivel de o zi.<\/p>

Evanghelia este peste noi, este dumnezeiasc\u0103. Drept urmare, este \u00een contra ego-ului nostru, \u00een contra comodit\u0103\u021bii noastre. \u0218i dac\u0103 vrem s\u0103 \u00eemplinim Evanghelia, obligatoriu vom da de moarte \u0219i \u00eenviere. Noi \u00een practic\u0103, ne g\u0103sim alternative la Evanghelie, de aceea nu tr\u0103im a\u0219a dramatic cum ne zice P\u0103rintele Arsenie. Omul a\u0219teapt\u0103 s\u0103 \u00eemplineasc\u0103 Evanghelia a\u0219a, doar merg\u00e2nd duminica la biseric\u0103, crez\u00e2nd c\u0103 astfel a \u00eemplinit datoria lui de cre\u0219tin. Nu e a\u0219a. Evanghelia nu e asta. Evanghelia trebuie s\u0103 ne devin\u0103 via\u021b\u0103. \u0218i se \u00eempline\u0219te \u00een fiecare zi. \u00cen primul r\u00e2nd trebuie s\u0103 \u0219tii de ce o faci: pentru Hristos. \u0218i s\u0103 fii preg\u0103tit s\u0103 \u201emori\u201d. Cum e postul, nu mai m\u0103n\u00e2nc carne, m\u0103n\u00e2nc avocado, etc.<\/p>

Iar c\u00e2nd omul activeaz\u0103 iubirea, pentru c\u0103 \u0219i Hristos din iubire S-a r\u0103stignit pentru noi (cf. \u201epentru bucuria pus\u0103 \u00eenainte-I, a suferit crucea, n-a \u021binut seama de ocara ei\u201d \u2013 Evrei 12, 2), atunci accept\u0103 lipsa, accept\u0103 nesomnul ca s\u0103 stea de vorb\u0103 cu cineva care are nevoie etc., accept\u0103 toate de dragul lui Hristos. \u0218i a\u0219a, de dragul lui Hristos, reu\u0219im s\u0103 \u00eemplinim \u0219i noi Evanghelia.<\/p>

Dac\u0103 nu \u00eenv\u0103\u021b\u0103m s\u0103 murim \u0219i s\u0103 \u00eenviem \u00een fiecare zi pentru Hristos Domnul nostru, nu putem p\u0103stra harul credin\u021bei. Harul credin\u021bei noastre cere aceast\u0103 dinamic\u0103, pentru ca harul s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103 viu \u00een noi \u0219i s\u0103 creasc\u0103. Apoi inima noastr\u0103 se l\u0103rge\u0219te. Noi trebuie s\u0103 devenim iubitori, iert\u0103tori, asemenea lui Hristos. \u0218i dac\u0103 \u00eencepem s\u0103 facem asta, inima noastr\u0103 nu doar se l\u0103rge\u0219te, ci se \u0219i \u00eenmoaie \u0219i \u00eencepem s\u0103 \u00cel vedem pe M\u00e2ntuitorul a\u0219a cum este El: bun, iert\u0103tor, delicat \u0219i atotputernic.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
