Cum adic\u0103 s\u0103 c\u0103ut\u0103m mai \u00eent\u00e2i \u00cemp\u0103r\u0103\u0163ia lui Dumnezeu? Ei bine, iat\u0103. S\u0103 presupunem c\u0103 vrei s\u0103 te duci undeva, pe jos, cu ma\u015fina, cu vaporul, pentru o treab\u0103 oarecare; \u00eenainte de plecare, cere Domnului s\u0103-\u0163i cure\u0163e c\u0103ile inimii \u015fi drumul pe care vei merge, sau s\u0103-\u0163i orienteze potrivit poruncilor Sale drumul vie\u0163ii tale. Dore\u015fte aceasta din toat\u0103 inima ta \u015fi repet\u0103 mereu rug\u0103ciunea ta. Domnul, v\u0103z\u00e2nd sinceritatea dorin\u0163ei tale, silin\u0163a de a merge dup\u0103 poruncile Sale, va \u00eendrepta pu\u0163in c\u00e2te pu\u0163in toate c\u0103ile tale.<\/p>\n

Dac\u0103, de exemplu, vrei s\u0103-\u0163i aerise\u015fti camera, s\u0103 mergi s\u0103 iei aer, g\u00e2nde\u015fte-te la cur\u0103\u0163ia sau necur\u0103\u0163ia inimii tale. Multora dintre noi le place s\u0103-\u015fi aeriseasc\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103perea (care este o excelent\u0103 obi\u015fnuin\u0163\u0103), s\u0103 mearg\u0103 s\u0103 se plimbe \u00een aer curat, dar nu se g\u00e2ndesc deloc la necesitatea de a-\u015fi purifica sufletul \u015fi inima. Ei tr\u0103iesc \u00eentr-un aer curat, dar se las\u0103 purta\u0163i de g\u00e2nduri necurate, de mi\u015fc\u0103ri impure ale inimii, de cuvinte stricate sau de fapte trupe\u015fti din cele mai murdare.<\/p>\n

De asemenea, atunci c\u00e2nd cau\u0163i lumina natural\u0103, aminte\u015fte-\u0163i de lumina spiritual\u0103 at\u00e2t de necesar\u0103 sufletului, f\u0103r\u0103 de care acesta zace \u00een \u00eentunecimile patimilor, \u00een bezna mor\u0163ii spirituale. \u201eEu, Lumin\u0103 am venit \u00een lume \u2013 zice Domnul \u2013 ca tot cel ce crede \u00een Mine s\u0103 nu r\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een \u00eentuneric\u201d (In 12, 46).<\/p>\n

Dac\u0103 vezi dezl\u0103n\u0163uirea \u015fi auzi tunetele furtunii, dac\u0103 cite\u015fti povestea unui naufragiu, g\u00e2nde\u015fte-te la tulbur\u0103rile \u015fi la greut\u0103\u0163ile pe care furtuna patimilor le st\u00e2rne\u015fte \u00een fiecare zi \u00een inimile oamenilor, pricinuind naufragiul cor\u0103biei duhovnice\u015fti a sufletului sau naufragiul societ\u0103\u0163ii. Cere cu st\u0103ruin\u0163\u0103 de la Domnul s\u0103-\u0163i potoleasc\u0103 furtuna p\u0103catelor a\u015fa cum a potolit oarec\u00e2nd, prin Cuv\u00e2ntul S\u0103u, furtuna de pe mare; s\u0103 smulg\u0103 patimile din inimile noastre \u015fi s\u0103 restabileasc\u0103 \u00een ele o pace continu\u0103.<\/p>\n

Dac\u0103 \u0163i-e foame sau sete, dac\u0103 vrei s\u0103 m\u0103n\u00e2nci sau s\u0103 bei, g\u00e2nde\u015fte-te la foamea \u015fi setea sufletului t\u0103u (lui \u00eei este sete de dreptate, de adev\u0103r, de m\u00e2ntuire, sete de Hristos, sete de sfin\u0163enie). Dac\u0103 nu-l saturi, el poate s\u0103 moar\u0103 de foame; sl\u0103bit \u015fi epuizat, el poate s\u0103 fie zdrobit de patimi; satisf\u0103c\u00e2ndu-\u0163i foamea trupeasc\u0103, nu uita s\u0103 potole\u015fti, mai ales \u015fi \u00eenainte de orice, foamea ta spiritual\u0103 prin leg\u0103tura cu Dumnezeu, printr-o poc\u0103in\u0163\u0103 sincer\u0103, prin citirea Evangheliei \u015fi a \u00eenv\u0103\u0163\u0103turilor Domnului \u015fi, mai ales, prin \u00eemp\u0103rt\u0103\u015firea cu Sfintele Taine ale Trupului \u015fi S\u00e2ngelui Domnului Iisus Hristos.<\/p>\n
