Serie Cuaresmal: ‘Test’ de Presencia de Dios
Los hombres llegamos a Dios a través de los sentidos. En la belleza material, la grandeza de las cosas, la bondad creada, tenemos testigos de Dios. Incluso para acercarnos a Jesucristo, necesitamos cultivar la propia sensibilidad. Para salvarnos necesitamos conocer y amar a Dios. ‘Per aspera ad astra,’ por lo áspero, lo difícil, la lucha . . . llegamos a los ‘astros’, lo elevado, el cielo. La generación actual ha perdido la sensibilidad por lo bello, lo grande, lo bueno, por eso tanta gente está alejada hoy de Dios. Las cosas en grados diferentes reflejan las perfecciones divinas. No se puede amar lo que primero no se conoce. Nosotros solos no podemos percibir un Espíritu Puro, necesitamos partir de las obras bellas de Dios. El santo tiempo de Cuaresma es una invitación a educar los sentidos, el cuerpo, para que nos lleve a Dios. Sin ello nos quedamos con amar a Dios de ‘alguna manera’, pero no con todo el corazón . . . Y si esto es así, podemos fracasar en la vocación personal.
