LA PREGHIERA II DOMENICA DEL TEMPO ORDINARIO
18 GENNAIO 2015
di Roberto Laurita

il presepio a Brescia
E’ bello Gesù, scorgere le tappe
che conducono all’incontro con te,
rivivere i passaggi, le esperienze
che mi hanno portato alla fede.

Tutto comincia con una testimonianza,
quella resa dal Battista,
quella che anch’io ho ricevuto
da coloro che mi hanno
introdotto nella comunità.
Ma poi è decisivo il desiderio
che si accende nel cuore:
desiderio che si esprime
in una ricerca, in un interrogativo
che abita il cuore
e fa muovere i passi
sulle tue orme, Gesù.

Grazie, dunque, per i testimoni
In cui mi sono imbattuto,
ma grazie anche per tutti quelli
che hanno avuto la pazienza
di raccogliere le mie domande,
di ascoltare le mie richieste,
di rispondere ai miei dubbi.

Certo, per incontrarti veramente
non basta un contatto fugace,
un solo attimo travolgente:
dimorare con te,
restare a lungo ad ascoltarti
mi aiuta a porre le basi
di una relazione solida.
Solo così tu puoi trasformare
La mia mente e il mio cuore
E cambiarmi il nome.


*del foglietto per la messa alla Chiesa Santa Cristina-Parma.

COME AND SEE


God has the initiative to call us. He calls all the people. Sometimes, we need the other to understand his calling. We can hear his voice, but we can not know his identity. We need the other to know his voice. 

Samuel, for example, has heard the voice three times, but he can not know who is calling him. Eli gives him the advice to respond the voice. In other words, Samuel needs Eli to know God, the owner of the voice. The disciples (Andrea and Peter) of John see the master, but they don’t know who the master is. John helps them to know who the master is. It is interested in the Jesus’ responding, COME AND SEE. Knowing Jesus means go and live with Him.


I remember my experience when for the first time go out from my island Flores. I come from Flores to Bali Island with my friend. I am not alone. But, from Bali to Java, I am alone. I asked the information in the young mother. She gives me the information. She said that, don’t be afraid. I was happy listening to it.


I arrived in Yogyakarta because I followed her instruction. She didn’t say COME AND SEE, but she gives me the way of arriving at my direction. She stops at Solo, the city before Yogyakarta. Now, my thanks to her. I remember this experience and I have received her instruction. Her instruction is the great grace for me.

I have done it, COME AND SEE at His home. He stays near us. He looks at the peoples around us. He speaks at our friends, our teacher, our parents, our family. We must go far away until finding His staying.  We must ask the people until we know his voices, his way, his stay, and his instruction.

Now, we pray for the immigrants. Today is the migrants’ world day. I see many immigrants in Italia. I am one of them. I work with them at the parish, in the rural city. I have many friends of the immigrant’s family.

HAPPY SUNDAY 18/1/15

Tulisan ini hanya numpang lewat. Tengok kompasiana dan ketemu banyak berita. Salah satu berita menarik adalah tentang para gadis. Ya, tentang gadis. Kebetulan ketemu beberapa berita. Topik pembicaraannya hanya satu yaitu tentang gadis. Mata lelaki langsung terciut mengkliknya karena tertarik dengan judul. 
Ada kata gadis. Gadis memang menarik. Berita sudah muncul. Mata langsung tertuju pada gadis charger itu. Badannya dipenuhi perabot charger. Katanya, dari situ bisa dicharger beberapa telepon gengam. Ini toh manfaatnya perabot itu. Bukan gadisnya yang men-charger telepon gengam.
Tengok berita sudah selesai. Dengan gambar saja sudah bisa tahu isinya. Tapi, biar tambah puas, baca juga beritanya. Ya, itu-itu juga, informasinya masih membahas tentang perabot charger.
Gadis ini memang untuk menarik perhatian. Meski tidak menjamin perabot tersebut bisa laris. Gadis ya gadis. Perabot ya perabot. Ya inilah pintarnya penjual. Menjual perabot dengan menarik perhatian. Cara menarik perhatian ya menyuruh gadis cantik menjualnya. Untunglah gadisnya tidak dijual. Kalau gadisnya sekalian dijual tambah heboh juga.
Pintarnya penjual menjual jualannya. Gadis cantik pun ikut terlibat. Gadis memang menarik. Jual mobil mewah pun, gadis juga terlibat. Pembeli juga tidak kalah. Maksud hati tidak membeli tetapi karena ada gadis cantik, pura-pura berlagak pembeli. Biar tak kalah pamor jadilah pembeli mobil. Tapi, ada juga pembeli yang memang maksudnya membeli mobil. Datang membeli sekalian melihat gadis cantik karena memang sudah ada di samping mobil.
Untunglah di sini aku tidak menemukannya. Pembeli di sini membeli karena membutuhkan. Butuh mobil ya beli mobil. Demikian juga penjual. Penjual mobil ya penjual tok. Tidak menjual yang lain. Tidak memakai yang lain untuk dijual. Jual aslinya bukan embel-embelnya.
Gadis itu tentu dapat uang dari hasil pamerannya. Laku banyak bayarnya banyak. Demikian bunyi berita di situ. Demikian sebaliknya. Gadis itu tampak tidak punya pekerjaan tetap. Bekerja jika ada promosi penjualan. Ini juga pekerjaan namanya. Tapi, pekerjaan yang banyak tergantungnya. Tergantung promosi penjualan. Tergantung seni menjual. Tergantung gaya menarik perhatian. Tergantung pembeli. Tergantung jenis produk.
Gadis memang cantik dan menarik perhatian. Tanpa menjadi gadis charger pun gadis tetap cantik. Ya namanya cari duit, kecantikan pun dijual. Tak salah. Toh, dunia post modern. Dunia kontemporer, kata para ahli. Bebas semau gue. Tapi jangan bebas keterlauan sampai melukai yang lain yah. Jangan sampai terjasi seperti “Charli Hebdo”.
