\"\"<\/a>\u2013 Poste\u015fti? Atunci dovede\u015fte-mi asta prin fapte!
\n\u2013 Ce fel de fapte? \u2013 m\u0103 \u00eentrebi.
\n\u2013 Dac\u0103 vezi un s\u0103rac, ai mil\u0103 de el; dac\u0103 vezi un du\u015fman, \u00eempac\u0103-te cu el; dac\u0103 vezi un prieten l\u0103udat, nu-l pizmui; dac\u0103 vezi o femeie frumoas\u0103, n-o pofti \u00een inima ta.
\nAdev\u0103ratul post st\u0103 \u00een a te \u00eendep\u0103rta de p\u0103cat. Sfarm\u0103 lan\u0163urile r\u0103ut\u0103\u0163ii (Isaia 58, 6), iart\u0103 semenului t\u0103u tot r\u0103ul ce \u0163i-a f\u0103cut. Cel care poste\u015fte, dar nu se las\u0103 de p\u0103cate e ca acela care cu o m\u00e2n\u0103 zide\u015fte, iar cu cealalt\u0103 d\u0103r\u00e2m\u0103; e ca omul care acum se roag\u0103 lui Dumnezeu, apoi \u00eel \u00eenjur\u0103 \u015fi \u00eel blestem\u0103 pe aproapele.<\/p>\n

Un vechi propov\u0103duitor al Evangheliei zicea: Nici un folos nu este a pune ziduri \u015fi \u015fan\u0163uri l\u00e2ng\u0103 cetate \u015fi a nu p\u0103zi poarta prin care intr\u0103 potrivnicul. Ce folos este a schimba m\u00e2nc\u0103\u00adrurile \u015fi a nu schimba n\u0103ravurile rele? Ce folos este a se \u00eenfr\u00e2na de la bucate \u015fi a nu se conteni de la pofte \u015fi p\u0103cate, care totdeauna sunt ur\u00e2te! Atunci trupul de bucate va fi gol, iar sufletul de p\u0103cate va fi plin; oamenii ne vor judeca de bine, dar Dumnezeu ne va socoti ca pe ni\u015fte os\u00e2ndi\u0163i \u015fi p\u0103c\u0103to\u015fi.<\/p>\n

Sf\u00e2ntul Efrem Sirul spune c\u0103 cel care se \u00eenfr\u00e2neaz\u0103 de la m\u00e2ncare, dar de la p\u0103cat nu se contene\u015fte, e ca omul care scoate ap\u0103 din f\u00e2nt\u00e2n\u0103 \u015fi o toarn\u0103 \u00eentr-un vas g\u0103urit, iar Sf\u00e2ntul Grigore spune c\u0103 cel ce astfel poste\u015fte e asemenea diavolului, care nu m\u0103n\u00e2nc\u0103 niciodat\u0103. A\u015fadar, s\u0103 nu posteasc\u0103 numai gura, ci \u015fi ochiul, \u015fi auzul, \u015fi m\u00e2na, s\u0103 posteasc\u0103 toate m\u0103dularele trupului nostru. S\u0103 posteasc\u0103 m\u00e2inile,<\/em> r\u0103m\u00e2n\u00e2nd neprih\u0103nite de jaf \u015fi hr\u0103pire. S\u0103 posteasc\u0103 picioarele<\/em>, \u00eempiedic\u00e2ndu-\u015fi pa\u015fii de-a alerga la priveli\u015fti ne\u00eeng\u0103duite \u015fi la p\u0103cat. S\u0103 posteasc\u0103 \u015fi gura,<\/em> ferindu-se de cuvinte ru\u015finoase \u015fi de oc\u0103ri. C\u0103ci ce folos ar fi s\u0103 postim de pas\u0103re \u015fi pe\u015fte \u015fi s\u0103-i mu\u015fc\u0103m \u015fi s\u0103-i m\u00e2n\u00adc\u0103m pe fra\u0163ii no\u015ftri? Cel care b\u00e2rfe\u015fte m\u0103n\u00e2nc\u0103 din carne fr\u0103\u0163easc\u0103, mu\u015fc\u0103 trupul aproapelui, de care ne-a \u00eenfricat \u015fi Sf\u00e2ntul Pavel, zic\u00e2nd: \u201eIar dac\u0103 v\u0103 mu\u015fca\u0163i unul pe altul \u015fi v\u0103 m\u00e2nca\u0163i, vede\u0163i s\u0103 nu v\u0103 nimici\u0163i voi \u00eentre voi\u201c<\/em> (Gal. 5, 15).<\/p>\n

N-ai \u00eenfipt din\u0163ii \u00een carne, dar ai \u00eenfipt def\u0103imarea \u00een suflet, ai r\u0103nit bunul nume \u015fi \u0163i-ai f\u0103cut un r\u0103u nespus \u015fi \u0163ie, \u015fi multor altora. Un astfel de post este r\u0103u \u015fi demn de os\u00e2ndit.<\/p>\n

…\u015ei auzul<\/strong> Cel ce poste\u015fte cu gura \u2013 nem\u00e2nc\u00e2nd \u2013 acela s\u0103 posteasc\u0103 \u015fi cu auzul<\/em>, nel\u0103s\u00e2nd s\u0103 intre \u00een el s\u0103ge\u0163ile def\u0103im\u0103rii care omoar\u0103 sufletul. C\u0103ci dac\u0103 sufletul \u2013 acest rege r\u0103zboinic al m\u0103dularelor \u2013 nu \u00ee\u015fi ap\u0103r\u0103 \u00een lupt\u0103, prin pav\u0103za postului, dec\u00e2t gura \u015fi \u00ee\u015fi las\u0103 neacoperite urechile, trebuie s\u0103 cad\u0103 \u00eenvins. S\u0103geata celui r\u0103u este foarte bun\u0103 \u015fi poate r\u0103zbate chiar \u015fi printre genele ochilor du\u015fmanului. Cu c\u00e2t mai u\u015for nu va putea ea intra prin u\u015fa deschis\u0103 a urechii? Prin ureche a intrat odinioar\u0103 moartea \u015fi l-a omor\u00e2t pe cel dint\u00e2i om. P\u0103zi\u0163i-v\u0103 deci auzul, ca s\u0103 nu asculta\u0163i prin el def\u0103imarea.<\/p>\n

…\u015ei ochii<\/strong> Gura s\u0103 se opreasc\u0103 de la m\u00e2ncare, dar \u015fi ochii s\u0103 fie opri\u0163i. Gura s\u0103 nu soarb\u0103 vin, nici ochii necur\u0103\u0163enie. Dac\u0103 gura ta poste\u015fte, dar ochii t\u0103i hoin\u0103resc \u00een pofte, atunci genele tale se prefac \u00een la\u0163uri pentru tine, a\u015fa c\u0103 nu po\u0163i duce lupta biruitor. Dup\u0103 cum ochii, care se revars\u0103 \u00een lacrimi de poc\u0103in\u0163\u0103, \u015fterg zapisul datoriei \u015fi cur\u0103\u0163\u0103 trupul \u00eentreg, tot a\u015fa \u00eentunec\u0103 ei \u015fi \u00een\u015fal\u0103 m\u0103dularele la p\u0103cat, dac\u0103 se uit\u0103 cu poft\u0103 necurat\u0103 la fe\u0163e str\u0103ine. S\u0103 posteasc\u0103 ochii<\/em>, \u00eenv\u0103\u0163\u00e2ndu-se s\u0103 nu se plece niciodat\u0103 privind la m\u00e2ndriile (lumii acesteia). C\u0103ci privirea e hrana ochilor.<\/p>\n

C\u0103ci ar fi un lucru foarte nes\u0103buit ca, \u00een timpul m\u00e2nc\u0103rii, s\u0103 te fere\u015fti, din pricina postului, chiar de hrana \u00eeng\u0103duit\u0103, iar c\u00e2nd te sluje\u015fti de ochi, s\u0103 ating\u0103 chiar lucrurile oprite. Nu m\u0103n\u00e2nci carne? Atunci s\u0103 nu sorbi nici desfr\u00e2ul din ochi, s\u0103 nu ascul\u0163i ponegririle \u015fi b\u00e2rfirile… \u201eS\u0103 nu iei aminte la zvon de\u015fert\u201c<\/em> (Ie\u015firea 23, 1).<\/p>\n

Gura de la m\u00e2ncare \u015fi inima de la p\u0103cat<\/strong> Gura noastr\u0103 s\u0103 se opreasc\u0103 de la m\u00e2ncare, dar \u015fi inima noastr\u0103 de la p\u0103cat, pentru ca astfel postul gurii noastre s\u0103 fie bine primit, deodat\u0103 cu starea de cur\u0103\u0163enie a inimii. C\u0103ci nu ajunge s\u0103 opre\u015fti numai gura de la m\u00e2ncare, ci toate m\u0103dularele trebuie p\u0103zite de ceea ce-i stric\u0103cios.<\/em> Uita\u0163i-v\u0103 la un vizitiu \u00eendem\u00e2natic cum supravegheaz\u0103 el caii \u00eenh\u0103ma\u0163i \u015fi cum o dat\u0103 sloboade, iar alt\u0103 dat\u0103 \u00eentinde fr\u00e2iele, ca s\u0103-i aduc\u0103 \u00een felul acesta la o alergare potrivit\u0103. C\u0103ci dac\u0103 unul dintre cai ar smulge un singur fr\u00e2u, s-ar \u00eencurca, iar prin c\u0103derea acestuia ajung \u00een neor\u00e2nduial\u0103 \u015fi celelalte fr\u00e2ie \u015fi \u00eempiedic\u0103 fuga.<\/p>\n

Tot a\u015fa ne \u00eenva\u0163\u0103 \u015fi legea care porunce\u015fte cu privire la lepr\u0103, ca omul \u00eentreg s\u0103 fie declarat necurat, chiar \u015fi atunci c\u00e2nd un singur m\u0103dular ar fi lepros. \u00cen r\u0103zboiul \u00eempotriva Ierihonu\u00adlui, numai Acan a furat, \u015fi totu\u015fi poporul \u00eentreg a fost pedepsit pentru furtul celui care a fost omor\u00e2t cu pietre.<\/p>\n

Aceast\u0103 pild\u0103 s\u0103 o aplic\u0103m \u015fi trupului \u015fi m\u0103dularelor noastre. Dac\u0103 alunec\u0103 un m\u0103dular, p\u0103c\u0103tuie\u015fte trupul \u00eentreg. Uita\u0163i-v\u0103 la Maria, sora lui Moise, care a fost leproas\u0103. Numai cu limba a gre\u015fit \u2013 prin vorbire \u2013 \u015fi, cu toate acestea, trupul ei \u00eentreg a fost \u00eenv\u0103luit \u00een haina grozav\u0103 a leprei.
