Páscoa Deliciosa Mensagem para o Tempo Pascal   Iniciamos o último trimestre dum período longo dedicado à Palavra de Deus. Quisemos que ela entrasse nos dinamismos mais íntimos das nossas comunidades e que encontrasse nos cristãos um espírito de abertura, em ordem a um conhecimento mais profundo e a uma vida norteada pelas suas diretivas. O evangelho do Domingo de Páscoa relata-nos o pormenor interessante de duas corridas: por um lado, Maria Madalena vai ao sepulcro e, depois de ver a pedra retirada, vai a correr até junto de Simão Pedro; por outro lado, este e o discípulo amado correm apressadamente até ao sepulcro, após esta notícia. Perante esta “corrida da fé”, alimentada pela fé na Ressurreição de Jesus, uma outra corrida surge: a missão. Por isso, chegado o Tempo Pascal, a última pergunta do nosso programa pastoral impõe-se: qual a nossa missão? É hora de nos interrogarmos sobre os frutos e de reconhecermos se os objetivos foram alcançados. Importa colocar-se em questão e não ter medo de intensificar a caminhada para confirmar opções ou recuperar o tempo perdido. Deus continua a ser graça para colocar a Sua Palavra no centro da vida das comunidades. Por vezes, parece que continua a existir muito medo de efetuar a revisão. Mas Deus está ao nosso lado e amparamos com a sua providência. Logo, queremos ser uma reserva do passado ou promotores criativos de novas iniciativas? Partimos dum pressuposto carregado duma enorme simbologia. Somos a vinha muito amada de Deus, onde a Sua ternura se patenteou nos cuidados que lhe dedicou, que deve produzir frutos e inutilizar os agraços que deturpam a sua missão. Há frutos novos a produzir. A força que retirou a pedra do túmulo dá-nos coragem para sermos ousados. Queremos ser vinha amada, não para nosso mero proveito, mas para delícia da humanidade! Estamos no mundo e reconhecemos que a verdadeira alegria está na fidelidade ao dever cumprido. Mas por outro lado, o mundo é o nosso permanente juiz. Não nos impomos pela história ou pelo ambiente que nos circunda. Como certeza de ser “sinal de contradição”, sabemo-nos vocacionados para que nos reconheçam como realidade que lhe diz alguma coisa. Muitos cristãos continuam instalados num saudosismo que nos distinguiu. Mas os tempos mudaram e já não nos podemos contentar com a normalidade. Se não corrermos a entrar nas problemáticas contemporâneas, não estaremos a anunciar o sentido da vida, levando a Igreja a perder vitalidade. A tarefa é deveras ingente e só a fidelidade ao projeto de Cristo marcará a nossa diferença, incutindo no ADN das pessoas uma nova geração: a “geração da Palavra”. O que falta para tal acontecer? Aquilo que cada um poderá e deverá fazer para ser Palavra, aqui e agora. A Igreja será delícia da humanidade, se cada um se deliciar com este alimento de valor eterno nos lugares que per-corre. Que a Páscoa renove o empenho para realizarmos o que falta, a fim de nos tornamos uma comunidade unida pelo mesmo Espírito Pentecostal.   † Jorge Ortiga, A.P. 5 de abril de 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[172,275],"class_list":["post-55997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-documentos","tag-diocese-de-braga","tag-pascoa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/agencia.ecclesia.pt\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/agencia.ecclesia.pt\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/agencia.ecclesia.pt\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agencia.ecclesia.pt\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agencia.ecclesia.pt\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55997"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/agencia.ecclesia.pt\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55997\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/agencia.ecclesia.pt\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agencia.ecclesia.pt\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agencia.ecclesia.pt\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
