“There an angel of the Lord appeared to Moses in fire flaming out of a bush. As he looked upon it he was surprised to see that the bush, though burning, was not consumed. So Moses decided, ‘I must go over to see this remarkable sight, and see why the bush was not burned.’ God called out to him from the bush, ‘Moses,

Moses’. He answered, ‘Here I am’. God said, ‘Come no nearer! Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.’” The unexpected meeting of Moses with the Lord in the burning bush, reveals how God comes to us in a variety of forms, at different times, and in different places. Wondering who was present to record the ‘conversation’, we too are having our names called out in our Lenten journey. We too, like Moses, respond with a ‘here I am.’ God had a plan to use Moses. He also has a plan for us. Our lent becomes a special moment to discern and discover God’s plan for me in 2019. He calls and wishes to use us. How? That’s His plan. You don’t have to remove your sandals for where you are standing now is holy ground. Unlike Moses, the Lord is calling us to come nearer on our journey with Jesus to Calvary. “Allí se le apareció el Ángel del Señor en una llama de fuego, que salía de en medio de la zarza. Al ver que la zarza ardía sin consumirse, Moisés pensó: ‘Voy a observar este grandioso espectáculo. ¿Por qué será que la zarza no se consume?’. Cuando el Señor vio que él se apartaba del camino para mirar, lo llamó desde la zarza, diciendo: ‘¡Moisés, Moisés!’. ‘Aquí estoy’, respondió él. Entonces Dios le dijo: ‘No te acerques hasta aquí. Quítate las sandalias, porque el suelo que estás pisando es una tierra santa.’” El inesperado encuentro de Moisés con el Señor revela cómo Dios viene a nosotros en diferentes formas, a horas diferentes y en lugares diferentes. Preguntándonos quién estuvo allí para reportar la ‘conversación’, nosotros también estamos siendo llamados por nuestro nombre en nuestra jornada de cuaresma. Al igual que Moisés, nosotros también respondemos ‘aquí estoy.’ Dios tenía un plan para Moisés. También tiene un plan para nosotros. Nuestra cuaresma se convierte en un momento especial para discernir y descubrir el plan de Dios para nosotros en 2019. El nos llama, y desea usarnos. ¿Cómo? Ese es Su plan. Usted no tiene que quitarse sus sandalias ya que en donde usted está parado es tierra santa. A diferencia de Moisés, el Señor nos llama para acercarnos en nuestra jornada con Jesús al Calvario.

L’uomo non è stato creato per rovinarsi la vita. Non si può neanche immaginare che, fornito di ragione, egli lo desideri. E tuttavia tutto sembra svolgersi in modo che ciò avvenga, a tale punto che si arriva a dubitare dei propri desideri di pienezza e perfino a negare la loro possibilità. Un fatto nuovo è accaduto nella storia, che

“molti profeti e re hanno voluto vedere e non hanno visto, e udire e non hanno udito”. Una Presenza inevitabile, provocatoria, di un’autorità fino ad allora sconosciuta, che ha il potere di risvegliare nel cuore dell’uomo i suoi desideri più veri; un Uomo che si riconosce facilmente come la Via, la Verità e la Vita per raggiungere la propria completezza. Il momento è quindi decisivo, grave. Quest’uomo chiama tutti quelli che sono con lui a definire la propria vita davanti a lui. Ma c’è un’ultima e misteriosa resistenza dell’uomo proprio davanti a colui di cui ha più bisogno. Bisogna quindi ingaggiare una battaglia definitiva perché l’uomo ritrovi il gusto della libertà. E Cristo lotterà fino alla morte, per dare “una dolce speranza e per concedere dopo i peccati la possibilità di pentirsi” (cf. Sap 12,19). Ma non tentiamo di ingannarci. Ci troviamo nelle ultime ore decisive. Cristo può, in un ultimo momento di pazienza, prolungare il termine, come fa per il fico della parabola, ma non lo prolungherà in eterno!
