em nome do pai do filho e do Espírito
Santo
amém meus queridos irmãos e irmãs com
grande alegria celebramos hoje Santo
Inácio de Loyola o fundador da Companhia
de Jesus O que que a vida de Santo
Inácio serve para iluminar a nossa vida
no dia de hoje veja em primeiríssimo
lugar a conversão de Santo Inácio por
quê porque Santo Inácio era um homem
Cristão sim batizado católico mas era
mundano ou seja ele coloca suas
esperanas neste mundo os seus feitos de
nobreza e de guerra é que estavam como o
alvo da sua vida da sua
existência
quando finalmente ele foi acertado pelo
estilhaço de uma bala de canhão no cerco
de Pamplona sua perna
estraçalhada ele se viu reduzido a ficar
num hospital entre a vida e a morte
quando ele foi se recuperando e a perna
ainda não melhorava se prolongou
enormemente a sua estadia no
hospital estava muito acostumado a
passar o tempo
assistindo Netflix ou seja assistindo
lendo os romances cavaleiresca época
mas a única coisa que as irmãs
religiosas daquele Hospital tinham para
oferecer a ele era a vida dos Santos e a
vida de Cristo no início Inácio rejeitou
mas logo depois por tédio por falta de
ter o que fazer ele se dispois a ler
aquilo
tudo e ao começar a
ler algo começou a mudar dentro
dele ele começou
a ver que uma
luz começou a acender no seu coração ele
começou a ver a verdade a experiência de
Santo Inácio no no hospital é a
experiência da Verdade da Verdade que
nos ilumina seja com a luz natural da
Razão seja com a luz Sobrenatural da
Graça ali em contato com a verdade que é
o Cristo e com a verdade de Cristo na
vida dos Santos o Cristo
encarnado e Então aquela verdade
interpelou Santo
Inácio e aqui uma das características da
Verdade a verdade não é uma ideologia a
verdade não é uma
argumentação hoje em dia infelizmente
desgraçadamente está na moda entre
muitos teólogos
até teólogos
da própria Companhia de Jesus fundada
por Santo Inácio está na moda essa ideia
de que a verdade é relativa na verdade
uma coisa que muda o que antes era
verdade agora já não é mais agora nós
podemos adaptar o evangelho aos gostos
cores e
matizes da ideologia do
momento bom não é esta a herança de
Santo Inácio a herança de Santo Inácio é
aquela experiência da Verdade que ele
fez no leito do hospital uma verdade que
o interpelou que mudou a sua vida pelo
avesso e foi exatamente para fazer com
que as pessoas fizessem esta mesma
experiência da Verdade e vissem a luz
Sobrenatural do Cristo ressuscitado e
meditassem também com a luz natural da
razão que Santo Inácio inventou o método
dos exercícios
espirituais exercícios espirituais que
são feitos para desentortar as vidas
que
caminhavam como o Inácio antes da
conversão
caminhava para uma vida longe de Cristo
uma vida
mundana assim então meus irmãos que
Santo Inácio de Loiola de lá do céu
interceda por nós interceda por cada um
de nós para que nós façamos a
experiência da Verdade e fujamos
da tentação de fazer com que o evangelho
seja
servo da ideologia da
moda Deus abençoe você em nome do pai e
do filho e do Espírito Santo amém
