PRIMA LECTUR\u0102<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Prima lectur\u0103 se refer\u0103 la un episod decisiv \u00een tradi\u021bia<\/span><\/span> iudaic\u0103 \u0219i a tradi\u021biei cre\u0219tine.

Aceast\u0103 pl\u00e2ngere este<\/span><\/span> deosebit de grav\u0103 dac\u0103 ne amintim c\u0103 tocmai \u201em\u00e2na Domnului\u201d <\/span><\/span>a <\/span><\/span>provo<\/span><\/span>cat<\/span><\/span> pl\u0103gile \u00eempotriva Egiptului (Ex 7,17), <\/span><\/span>a <\/span><\/span>des<\/span><\/span>p\u0103r\u021bit<\/span><\/span> marea (14,31), s\u0103v\u00e2r\u0219ind semne minunate.

Memoria Egiptului este, de fapt, distorsionat\u0103: este pu\u021bin probabil ca sclavii s\u0103 fi \u201estat vreodat\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 oala<\/span><\/span> de carne\u201d (v. 3), o m\u00e2ncare foarte delicioas\u0103 \u0219i rar\u0103.<\/span><\/span> Lec<\/span><\/span>tura<\/span><\/span> prezint\u0103 r\u0103spunsul<\/span><\/span> divin \u00een v. 12: pentru tot timpul pe care \u00eel petrec \u00een de\u0219ert, Dumnezeu le va da man\u0103, \u201e<\/span><\/span>ceva m\u0103runt, ca <\/span><\/span>o crust\u0103, ceva m\u0103runt ca bruma pe p\u0103m\u00e2nt<\/span><\/span>\u201d (v. 14) \u0219i poporul nu va putea dec\u00e2t s\u0103 adune doar o ra\u021bie de o zi din ea. \u00cen acela\u0219i discurs,<\/span><\/span> Dumnezeu explic\u0103 \u0219i semnifica\u021bia acestui semn: \u201eca s\u0103<\/span><\/span> \u00eei pun la \u00eencercare pentru a vedea dac\u0103 umbl\u0103 sau nu dup\u0103 legea mea\u201d. Oamenii, de fapt, vor \u00eencerca s\u0103 acumuleze aceast\u0103 hran\u0103<\/span><\/span> pentru a se elibera de Dumnezeu, dar nu vor reu\u0219i \u00een acest demers. \u00cen ce sens va fi atunci mana un test? \u00cen de\u0219ert, israeli\u021bii<\/span><\/span> vor descoperi c\u0103 doar p\u0103\u0219ind \u00een legea lui Dumnezeu<\/span><\/span> \u0219i depinz\u00e2nd de <\/span><\/span>E<\/span><\/span>l se poate avea acces la plin\u0103tatea vie\u021bii.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Prin urmare, discursul lui Dumnezeu se \u00eencheie \u00een v. 12 f\u0103r\u0103 a garanta israeli\u021bilor securitatea material\u0103 (\u201eve\u021bi fi s\u0103tura\u021bi\u201d, \u201eve\u021bi supravie\u021bui”), ci cu o revela\u021bie: mana va avea ca finalitate o cunoa\u0219tere mai profund\u0103 a lui Dumnezeu: <\/span><\/span>\u201e<\/span><\/span>ve\u021bi cunoa\u0219te c\u0103 Eu sunt Domnul Dumnezeul vostru\u201d; va fi tocmai leg\u0103tura cu Dumnezeu cea care va da via\u021b\u0103 poporului.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dorin\u021ba mul\u021bimii pare, a\u0219adar, sincer\u0103, iar nedumerirea lor autentic\u0103. Adunarea<\/span><\/span> liturgic\u0103<\/span><\/span> este deci \u00eencurajat\u0103 s\u0103 se activeze, recunosc\u00e2nd c\u0103 prezen\u021ba lui Isus este decisiv\u0103 pentru via\u021b\u0103.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

F\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u021bin\u0103 cont de succes (mul\u021bi \u00eel urmeaz\u0103), Isus merge \u00eempotriva curentului \u0219i dezv\u0103luie ceea ce i-a f\u0103cut pe oameni s\u0103 \u00eel caute. Ei nu au \u00een\u021beles amploarea miracolului p\u00e2inii (\u201enu m\u0103 c\u0103uta\u021bi pentru c\u0103 a\u021bi v\u0103zut semne\u201d, cf. In 6<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span>1-15) \u0219i, mai ales, nu au \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 era un \u201esemn\u201d, o realitate material\u0103 care trimite la un con\u021binut mai profund. Semnul nu i-a condus la credin\u021b\u0103 (cf. In 2<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span>11), ei s-au g\u00e2ndit pur \u0219i simplu s\u0103-\u0219i satisfac\u0103 propri<\/span><\/span>ile pofte<\/span><\/span>. Din acest motiv, aclamarea Evangheliei aminte\u0219te de r\u0103spunsul lui Isus la prima ispit\u0103 a diavolului: \u201eOmul nu va tr\u0103i numai cu p\u00e2ine, ci cu orice cuv\u00e2nt care iese din gura lui Dumnezeu\u201d (<\/span><\/span>Mt<\/span><\/span> 4,4). Mul\u021bimea crede c\u0103 Isus a venit doar pentru a aduce p\u00e2ine, pentru a satisface o nevoie imediat\u0103 de confort \u0219i satisfac\u021bie. \u00cen discursul s\u0103u, \u00eens\u0103, Isus le va explica oamenilor c\u0103 misiunea sa este foarte diferit\u0103. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cuv\u00e2ntul acestei duminici pare s\u0103 descrie o por\u021biune din itinerariul pe care fiecare dintre noi \u00eel face \u00een via\u021ba \u0219i \u00een drumul s\u0103u de credin\u021b\u0103. Evanghelia spune c\u0103 mul\u021bimea, dup\u0103 ce a m\u00e2ncat p\u00e2inea \u0219i pe\u0219tii, se deplaseaz\u0103 \u00een c\u0103utarea lui Isus. Primul pas: s\u0103 ne mi\u0219c\u0103m, s\u0103 c\u0103ut\u0103m, s\u0103 ne deplas\u0103m, s\u0103 p\u0103r\u0103sim locurile <\/span><\/span>\u2013<\/span><\/span> fizice \u0219i interioare <\/span><\/span>\u2013<\/span><\/span> \u00een care tr\u0103im de obicei \u0219i s\u0103 pornim \u00eentr-o c\u0103utare. De ce s\u0103 se mi\u0219te? Isus le aminte\u0219te oamenilor care \u00eel urmeaz\u0103 c\u0103 o fac doar pentru c\u0103 \u0219i-au umplut bur\u021bile cu p\u00e2inile \u0219i pe\u0219tii pe care el i-a \u00eenmul\u021bit.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mul\u021bimea cere un miracol, \u0219i un miracol de tipul celui care satisface foamea material\u0103. Ni se pare c\u0103 \u00eei vedem aici la suprafa\u021b\u0103 pe to\u021bi acei cre\u0219tini <\/span><\/span>\u2013<\/span><\/span> \u0219i c\u00e2t de des suntem \u0219i noi? <\/span><\/span>\u2013<\/span><\/span> care se a\u0219teapt\u0103 ca religia s\u0103 r\u0103spund\u0103 nevoilor lor, cerin\u021belor lor: o religie util\u0103, pentru care este convenabil s\u0103 faci anumite acte, s\u0103 respec\u021bi anumite precepte, \u00eencep\u00e2nd cu mersul la <\/span><\/span>liturghia<\/span><\/span> de <\/span><\/span>duminic<\/span><\/span>\u0103<\/span><\/span>, s\u0103 dai de poman\u0103… O credin\u021b\u0103 mercantil\u0103, care \u00eei d\u0103 lui Dumnezeu ceva pentru ca Dumnezeu s\u0103 ne dea \u00een schimb ceea ce avem nevoie.

Dar aceast\u0103 p\u00e2ine este Isus \u00eensu\u0219i: pentru a avea acces la darul lui Dumnezeu<\/span><\/span> trebuie s\u0103-l accep\u021bi pe <\/span><\/span>E<\/span><\/span>l. Acesta este scopul care este propus.<\/span><\/span> Foamea \u0219i setea vor fi potolite pentru totdeauna doar dac\u0103 cineva este dispus<\/span><\/span> s\u0103 \u201emearg\u0103 spre\u201d Isus \u0219i s\u0103 \u201ecread\u0103\u201d \u00een <\/span><\/span>E<\/span><\/span>l. Este vorba de dublul dinamism<\/span><\/span> care \u00eel caracterizeaz\u0103 pe discipolul autentic: o mi\u0219care spre<\/span><\/span> cel pe care \u00eel consider\u0103 Domnul \u0219i Maestrul s\u0103u, un abandon \u00eencrez\u0103tor.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Prima presupune o deta\u0219are de orice alt\u0103 realitate \u0219i<\/span><\/span> persoan\u0103, deoarece totul conteaz\u0103 mai pu\u021bin \u00een compara\u021bie cu el. A doua<\/span><\/span>const\u0103 \u00een a se pune \u00een m\u00e2inile lui, \u00een a-\u0219i \u00eencredin\u021ba propria<\/span><\/span>existen\u021b\u0103, convins c\u0103 numai \u00een acest fel poate fi considerat\u0103 salvat\u0103.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

La fiecare Euharistie, precum cea de ast\u0103zi, ne este oferit\u0103 P\u00e2inea<\/span><\/span> vie\u021bii<\/span><\/span> care este Isus. Suntem dispu\u0219i s\u0103 renun\u021b\u0103m la tot pentru a-l \u00eent\u00e2lni? Suntem preg\u0103ti\u021bi s\u0103 ne punem \u00een m\u00e2inile sale?<\/span><\/span>S\u0103 tr\u0103im \u00een conformitate cu Cuv\u00e2ntul s\u0103u?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00cent\u00e2lnirea \u00eempreun\u0103, de duminic\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 duminic\u0103, nu este o realitate periferic\u0103, secundar\u0103 a credin\u021bei noastre.<\/span><\/span> Punctul de sosire \u0219i, \u00een acela\u0219i timp, sursa. Ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 \u00een Euharistie sus\u021bine, re\u00eennoie\u0219te, face solid\u0103 \u0219i rodnic\u0103 rela\u021bia noastr\u0103 cu Dumnezeu.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cum am putea face fa\u021b\u0103 dificult\u0103\u021bilor \u0219i \u00eencerc\u0103rilor cu care este pres\u0103rat\u0103 existen\u021ba noastr\u0103<\/span><\/span> dac\u0103 nu ni s-ar oferi o hran\u0103 care<\/span><\/span>transmite \u00eens\u0103\u0219i via\u021ba lui Dumnezeu?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
