Avem un zel aparte de a fi cre\u015ftini mai ales cu ocazia marilor s\u0103rb\u0103tori.<\/span> De Boboteaz\u0103 ne c\u0103lc\u0103m \u00een picioare, ne d\u0103m coate \u015fi suduim printre din\u0163ii \u00eencle\u015fta\u0163i pentru a lua agheasm\u0103, de parc\u0103 ar conta cat de repede ne-am umplut sticla si cat de multa am bea. Sper\u0103m la m\u00e2ntuire, dar o confund\u0103m cu o coad\u0103 la carne, unde cine are noroc sau este un pic descurc\u0103re\u0163 \u00eel prinde pe Dumnezeu de picior.
\u00cel invoc\u0103m pe Dumnezeu, ne batem cu c\u0103r\u0103mida \u00een piept c\u0103 suntem singurul popor cre\u015ftin<\/span>, dar uit\u0103m c\u0103 mor oameni \u00eencol\u0103ci\u0163i de frig la col\u0163uri de strad\u0103 \u015fi nimeni nu se obose\u015fte s\u0103 le arunce o privire. Solidaritatea noastr\u0103 cre\u015ftin\u0103 este aproape zero.<\/span>
Un mimetism teribil a cuprins Rom\u00e2nia. Batem cruci c\u0103lug\u0103re\u015fti \u00een fa\u0163a tuturor bisericilor, dar nu-l primim pe \u201epopa\u201c \u00een cas\u0103 pentru c\u0103 \u201e\u015ftim noi ce-i de capul lui\u201c. <\/span>
Postul a ajuns o extravagan\u0163\u0103 a b\u0103tr\u00e2nilor pentru c\u0103 noi, ceilal\u0163i, ne \u00eembuib\u0103m \u00een numele tradi\u0163iei p\u00e2n\u0103 ni se rup baierele de la pantaloni. Ne mir\u0103m c\u0103 Dumnezeu nu ne ascult\u0103 pref\u0103cuta rug\u0103, de\u015fi din b\u0103tr\u00e2ni se \u015ftie c\u0103 \u015fi ho\u0163ul se roag\u0103 c\u00e2nd pleac\u0103 la furat. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ne repezim la dona\u0163ii sau la fapte bune numai atunci c\u00e2nd suntem v\u0103zu\u0163i, precum fariseii, sper\u00e2nd c\u0103 astfel ne-am c\u00e2\u015ftigat un col\u0163 de Rai, c\u0103 Dumnezeu e un t\u00e2rgove\u0163 care ne iart\u0103 p\u0103catele \u00een schimbul unor \u0163echini arunca\u0163i de fal\u0103. Ne aducem aminte de str\u0103mo\u015fi \u015fi rude \u015fi organiz\u0103m pomeni \u015fi parastase numai s\u0103 crape de ciud\u0103 babele din cartier. Crucea a ajuns accesoriu vestimentar, ag\u0103\u0163at ginga\u015f p\u00e2n\u0103 \u015fi de br\u0103\u0163ara de la glezn\u0103.<\/span>
Am uitat drumul spre Biseric\u0103, dar suntem speciali\u015fti \u00een telenovele \u015fi le\u015fin\u0103m de r\u00e2s la bancurile porcoase. Copiii no\u015ftri – cu nume c\u00e2t se poate de cre\u015ftine precum Armando, Gimmy sau Zorro – cresc goli\u0163i suflete\u015fte, sunt \u00eenv\u0103\u0163a\u0163i s\u0103 se descurce, s\u0103 fie \u015fmecheri, s\u0103 calce totul \u00een picioare. Biserica se r\u0103stigne\u015fte \u00een suflet, iar credin\u0163a pare s\u0103 devin\u0103 un fel de muzeu al satului.<\/span>  Suntem amatori de paradoxuri. Biserica \u015fi armata conduc \u00een topul \u00eencrederii, dar pu\u0163ini tineri mai vor s\u0103 fac\u0103 armata, iar credin\u0163a e o chestiune de \u015ftampil\u0103 \u015fi nicidecum de ad\u00e2nc\u0103 smerenie.<\/span>
Botezul Domnului mai e numit \u015fi Epifanie sau Teofanie, adic\u0103 Ar\u0103tarea Domnului, pentru c\u0103 Iisus Hristos se arat\u0103 pentru prima dat\u0103 lumii, gata de a-\u015fi \u00eendeplini misiunea dumnezeiasc\u0103. Poate avem nevoie de un nou \u00eenceput, pentru c\u0103 numele de cre\u015ftin oblig\u0103. Nu coada la agheasm\u0103 ne m\u00e2ntuie\u015fte, ci faptele noastre. Altfel vom r\u0103m\u00e2ne pe veci la coada spre Rai.
