The room of Happiness, in the decisive horizon
(Lk 12:54-59)
«Now, why don’t you judge also for yourselves what is right?» (v.57).
From nature and events we must know how to draw lessons - even for the horizon of Mystery.
In Christ we have the capacity for thought and everyone is made autonomous: from the externality of things we are brought back to the Origin of what happens.
Jesus' appeal on the Signs of Time was the inspirational text of Pope John for the convocation of the Second Vatican Council, so that the Church might question herself, paying greater attention to God’s Calls in history and to the hopes of humanity.
Predictability did not change spiritual pace; in each, its foreseeability did not allow the soul to see far.
In fact, Love is never according to chained, normal expectations or convictions, without new astonishing satisfactions.
Mass ideas are distracted, harnessed, by conformist thoughts. The never tested convictions wither the gaze, place the character impulses on dead tracks.
They generate paths that revolve around and suspend the realization, the ability to perceive the possibilities of the inner world; as well as opportunities for communion.
It’s the heart that sees the slightest possibilities. It grasps them on perennial questions, in a relationship of reciprocity with the meaning of present life.
And Jesus wants our plant to throw new leaves again. Because what we believe belongs to us, is already lost.
Then the invitation to Conversion - instead of stranding the soul and thought on models - makes attentive to the polyhedron of Friendship with ourselves, with our brothers and sisters even distant, and all things, now.
World of relationship that nothing considers irrelevant - and can make us enrich [if unlocked] with adventurous, fresh, lively discrepancies, which appear from free energies that do not want standard life; together.
Radical change is... not just thinking about fast consent, about immediate (even banal) interests that you don’t really want - and we know doesn’t work: it wouldn’t upset anything.
The Moment to discover the contents and not leave us be dazed, the present chance, the spirit of the pilgrim, the recognition of cultures... have a decisive character for the evolution of life in the Spirit.
It does not rest on the coded, enlisted protagonism, which already knows where it is going - and so it runs aground, adapts, loses sight of us, makes us interdicted. It reaps victims of illusions, of external friction; poisoning the road with muscular approaches and too much thoughts.
Compliments outside do not bring the I and the you back to the Roots, nor do they explode for the true future, the one to be lived intensely, which will make us vibrate.
Here is the «Present Moment»: the door to be opened to enter the room of happy energy, which remains magmatic - unceasing gift, ‘anointing’ and Vision that we do not know.
Astonishment that invites and leads far beyond the homologising, conformist, one-sided aspect - of din, cliché, tacticism, or other people's age to be reproduced.
To internalize and live the message:
How do you live the tension between the vision of the genius of time and the present moment?
What relationship do you see between God’s Promise and our hopes?
