Free eccentric, forward: Sacrament of humanity as such
(Lk 17:1-6)
The knowledge of God is not an acquired science: it moves from one action and another, unceasingly; it’s realized in an ever-living Encounter, which neither blocks nor dissolves us.
Typical, the experience of the «little ones» [mikròi v.2]. Since the earliest communities of faith, they have been those who lacked security and energy; unstables and without support.
«Small» have always been the incipients; the new ones, who have heard of Christian fraternity, and are sometimes forced to stand in line, aside, or give up the way.
But the criterion of acceptance, tolerance, communion of material goods, was the first and main catalyst of the growth of assemblies.
Even the source and meaning of all the formulas and signs of the liturgy.
The existential and ideal center towards wich to converge. For a proactive and in itself transformative Faith.
In the Spirit of the Master, even for us the reconciliation of friction is not configured as a simple work of magnanimity.
It’s the beginning of the future world. Principle of an unpredictable and unspeakable adventure; of rebirth.
Novelty of God that creates an environment of Grace, propulsive, with enormous possibilities.
Force that breaks in and paradoxically lets the dark poles meet, instead of shaking them off. By genuinely eliminating comparisons, useless words and ballasts, which block the transparent Exodus.
Thus (without too much struggle) it renews us, and curbs the loss of veracity. It emphasizes capacities and horizons of Peace; it crumbles primates, the marshy balances.
The discovery of new sides of being that we are, conveys a sense of better completeness. So it spontaneously stems external influences, dissolves prejudices, doesn’t act on an emotional, impulsive basis.
Rather, it places us in the position that enables to reveal the hidden and stunning sense of being. Unfolding the crucial horizon.
Laying down our judgements, the art of tolerance broadens the gaze [even intimate]. It improves and enhances the dull sides; those that we ourselves detested.
In eccentric way it transforms the considered distant or mediocre [mikroi] in outriders, and ingenious inventors. Because what was unthinkable yesterday, tomorrow will be of clarification and towing.
Confusions will acquire a sense - precisely thanks to the thought of the despised, intruders, out of every consortium and predictability.
Life of pure Faith in the Spirit: the fantasy of the "weak"... in power.
Because it’s the paradoxical mechanism that makes us evaluate the crossroads of history, activates passions, creates sharing, solves the real problems.
It makes reality fly towards itself.
The "victory-or-defeat" alternative is false: it’s necessary to get out of it. It’s in such ‘emptiness’ and Silence that God makes his way.
Mystery of Presence, which overflows. New Alliance.
