Christmas Times, melting pot where mix sacred, profane stimuli, the cult and the popular thing, doing us simultaneously: men and women, of pieces of works and also of faith.
_____________________________________________
A boy is born in a manger in a remote place of a country; when their parents flee from the wrath of a governor, before the imminence of the millenarian crystallization of one prophesy.
A boy astonishes to the wise people of his time - priests, writers and pharisees- when maintaining an heated debate, on the bases and the principles of the faith, at the time of reframing the relation with the society and the culture of his time, being disqualified and ashamed, by being simply: the son of a carpenter and a housewife, not an expert scholar of the structure of elites.
The boy, already grown, abjures of Mosaic Law and synthesizes the orders that served as guide and light to his entire nation, by centuries, reducing them to single two:
" Love God on all the things, and love your fellow as yourself ".
He sent this message to the community, every day of its life, since his the thirty years old, preach in Saturday, welcomed in the patients, the pariahs, sex workers, became organize, a team with twelve young men, common and current, who followed to him, they saw him make acts exceptional and later, being based on the faith, they also were able to make them.
This original and sensitive kid, became adult, find the ways for surpass the dichotomies that made the exclusion and the religious struggle between gentile Jews possible, of circumcises and uncircumcised, with a proposal of peace and universal love, in a context signed by the hatred, intolerance and spiritual miseries.
Finally - yesterday, today and perhaps tomorrow, as if he could not be in another way- he was crucified, accused of the most horrible crimes against the faith and the stability of the government.
A space is then this commemorative date of his birth..., so that the men and women of lights and talent, we rethink in the value of the decision and the opportunity, to make the difference, in a world like the contemporary, in which the possessions, the love to the money, the easy profit and success - and the crisis of sense for the life- sometimes threatens, the construction of creative subjectivities and of the necessary reflexivity, it stops: to impel towards the permanent change, the present and the future of our communities, there, in everywhere, at the corners, the street, the office, the places of diversion or priest, where is watching to our own eyes, the fellow.
Perhaps, the answer at this time, as in any other, comes from the unpolluted voices of the childhood and youth... we make possible, with means within reach of everyone: the education, the straight patterns, the leisure and the joy, to which they have right, in as much human people.
Life, joy, hope, peace & Love... for all, in Christmas Times.
