For a lightness without masks

(Mt 12:14-21)

The authorities condemn Jesus to death. The insignificant people await him, as their only hope.

They feel that there is still much to find, and that only He can inspire their action, thus opening them to Rebirth.

Persons sense harmony with the young Master who has chosen their social class, that of the shaky, considered wrong and disconcerting.

The hard and stifled existence of the little ones has taught them to be always ready for surprises, for new actions; even for destabilizing crises:

Best way to stay hooked to life and to the very possibility of achieving it, by activating it from the Hiding.

In the clamor and social approval, which denies the problems, their Mission would remain distorted.

While the externality of the leaders does not give in to dedication, to breaking themselves - even from their innermost.

So it doesn’t become new consciousness.

Sick of grandeur and longing for tranquillity, the ancient political and religious leaders project into the idea of the Messiah their being double, corrupt and artificial, only showy.

Unable to cope with everyday life - and make themselves available.

They do not understand the discreet Power of the Lord, his wise energy [and modest style] with lasting advantages.

They are willing to stun the despondent people, and they gladly do so with models, comparisons, evaluations, empty formulas, and incitements overflowing with reserves.

But they remain at a safe distance as far as living together, sharing, and cheering up others’ lives.

They continue to pass judgement but without giving anything, let alone offering themselves – and converting to the poor, except to manipulate them.

Their aversion to Christ - who came for the redemption of the «multitudes» [vv.15.18.21] - clashed precisely with the incessant need of the persons.

People know their own (all real) mud fabric, and they want emancipation.

Without subterfuge, they present themselves unmasks.

Today, as then, the Silence of the Lord's Anointed One [unmanipulated] is re-proposed in His authentic witnesses - overcoming the temptation of spectacle.

By surpassing the craze for the extraordinary; for propaganda and advertising aimed at proselytism and personal self-interest.

God knows that Shadow side is prophecy and the future germ: best part of His People, and of us.

To internalize and live the message:

Are there ambiguous individuals inclined to value normalised interventions, who consider your Mission distorted by Silence?

Do you think your realization is stifled by the Hiding? Or vice versa activated?
