De cele mai multe ori nu reu\u015fim s\u0103 exprim\u0103m \u00een cuvinte aceast\u0103 stare, \u00eens\u0103 sim\u0163im c\u0103 o lucrare tainic\u0103se petrece \u00een noi. Este o mare bucurie care se revars\u0103 peste \u00eentreaga noastr\u0103 fiin\u0163\u0103. Avem, parc\u0103, mai mult\u0103 via\u0163\u0103 \u00een noi, mai mult senin\u0103tate.

Prin \u00cenvierea Sa, Hristos ne-a d\u0103ruit puterea vie\u0163ii celei depline. Aceast\u0103 bog\u0103\u0163ie de via\u0163\u0103 o sim\u0163im \u00eentruc\u00e2tva \u00een zilele Sfintelor Pa\u015fti. De ce, \u00eens\u0103, nu dob\u00e2ndim acest duh de via\u0163\u0103 pe deplin? De ce, oare, pierdem \u015fi pu\u0163inul acesta de-a lungul anului? R\u0103spunsul este unul singur: pentru c\u0103 nu suntem oameni ai \u00cenvierii. O privire onest\u0103 asupra vie\u0163ii noastre arat\u0103 c\u0103, de cele mai multe ori, suntem cre\u015ftini doar cu numele. \u00cemplinim exterior, dac\u0103 \u00eemplinim, poruncile \u015fi r\u00e2nduielile biserice\u015fti, dar ne lipse\u015fte ad\u00e2ncimea vie\u0163ii duhovnice\u015fti. \u00cen mod formal apar\u0163inem Bisericii, precum ramurile unui copac. Prin aceste ramuri nu mai curge \u00eens\u0103 seva d\u0103t\u0103toare de via\u0163\u0103, pentru c\u0103 nu avem duh de poc\u0103in\u0163\u0103, cuget smerit \u015fi rug\u0103ciune fierbinte. Lipsi\u0163i de roadele Duhului Sf\u00e2nt \u2013 dragostea, bucuria, pacea, bl\u00e2nde\u0163ea \u2013, devenim ramuri uscate, f\u0103r\u0103 leg\u0103tur\u0103 real\u0103 cu via\u0163a copacului, adic\u0103 a Bisericii. Dup\u0103 cuv\u00e2ntul Scripturii, de\u015fi tr\u0103im, suntem mor\u0163i4<\/sup>, nu avem via\u0163\u0103 \u00een noi \u00een\u015fine. Suntem \u201eizvoare f\u0103r\u0103 de ap\u0103 \u015fi nori purta\u0163i f\u0103r\u0103 de furtun\u0103\u201d<\/em>5<\/sup>, \u201epomi tomnatici f\u0103r\u0103 roade, de dou\u0103 ori usca\u0163i \u015fi dezr\u0103d\u0103cina\u0163i\u201d<\/em>6<\/sup>. <\/em><\/p>\n

Consecin\u0163a acestei st\u0103ri de fapt se arat\u0103 dureros \u00eentr-un val de nemul\u0163umire, de nelini\u015fte, de dezn\u0103dejde. Via\u0163a se desf\u0103\u015foar\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 perspectiv\u0103, golul interior se ad\u00e2nce\u015fte, iar sentimentul z\u0103d\u0103rniciei macin\u0103 pe tot mai mul\u0163i. Moartea \u015fi iadul sunt tr\u0103ite cu anticipa\u0163ie. Cum putem oare ie\u015fi din acest iad care ne cuprinde tot mai mult? Cum se poate dep\u0103\u015fi starea de moarte infiltrat\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een cele mai ad\u00e2nci unghere ale vie\u0163ii noastre? R\u0103spunsul la aceast\u0103 criz\u0103 duhovniceasc\u0103 nu poate fi aflat nici \u00een politic\u0103, nici \u00een economie, nici \u00een tehnologie, nici \u00een programele ecologice sau de eliminare a s\u0103r\u0103ciei \u015fi a bolilor. Solu\u0163ia ne-o ofer\u0103 Hristos: \u201eC\u0103uta\u0163i mai \u00eent\u00e2i \u00eemp\u0103r\u0103\u0163ia lui Dumnezeu \u015fi dreptatea Lui \u015fi toate celelalte se vor ad\u0103uga vou\u0103\u201d<\/em>7<\/sup>. <\/em><\/p>\n

Aceasta arat\u0103 c\u0103 singura cale de a ie\u015fi din existen\u0163a noastr\u0103 de iad \u015fi de moarte este cobor\u00e2rea lui Hristos \u00een via\u0163a noastr\u0103.
