Dal nostro DIACONO DANTE COLANDREA Riflessione del mese di gennaio
ESAME DI COSCIENZA DELLO SPORTIVO
Passa il tempo, cambia il modo di concepire il bene e il male, ma le due tavole della Legge permangono validissime. I Dieci Comandamenti, rimeditati lungo il percorso del pellegrinaggio giubilare, nel silenzio del cuore, offrono indicazioni sempre attuali per tutti gli sportivi.
Non avrai altro Dio fuori di me. Lo sport ha i suoi dei, ogni sport ha il suo Dio. sconvolgente quando nello sport emerge un Dio che fa dimenticare il vero ed unico Dio. Non giusto fare dello sport per esaltare se stesso, mettendo da parte Dio.
Non nominare il nome di Dio invano. Purtroppo lo sport offre una spaventosa occasione per bestemmiare; sia sul campo, sia ai suoi bordi, vissuta come scarica del nervosismo procurato dall'evento sportivo.
Ricordati di santificare le feste. Spesso non si va a Messa nei giorni festivi con la scusa della partita. Si perde il valore del "Giorno del Signore". L'impegno sportivo diventa una facile scusante.
Onora il padre e la madre.Il giocatore, una volta raggiunti i buoni livelli sportivi, non sente pi la necessit della "tutela". I cambiamenti di societ ed i rapporti sportivi diminuiscono i legami familiari per dare pi importanza all'interesse sportivo.
Non ammazzare. La violenza dello sport vissuta come una necessit per dare sostegno alla propria capacit e danneggiare l'intervento dell'avversario. La violenza vissuta dagli spettatori come partecipazione attiva all'evento sportivo a favore della propria squadra.
Non commettere atti impuri. Purtroppo anche nello sport prevale la mancanza di rispetto del proprio corpo. Lo spogliatoio mette a dura prova parecchi giovani.
Non rubare. Ci sono anche furti legati allo sport. Si ruba il risultato dell'evento sportivo, riuscendo a pesare sulle decisioni dell'arbitro. Quante partite truccate?!
Non dire falsa testimonianza Lo sport vissuto, il pi delle volte, come recitazione o come simulazione. Spesso questo comportamento insegnato dai responsabili delle attivit sportive. Quante simulazioni di fallo!

Non desiderare la roba d'altri Quanti desideri per l'acquisto di attrezzature personali a imitazione dei professionisti. Acquisti che mettono a dura prova il bilancio familiare e che, se insoddisfatti, rendono infelice il giovane.
Non desiderare la donna d'altri Il desiderio forte, la tentazione pu diventare convincente, ma occorre vigilare per non lasciarsi prendere dalla concupiscienza. Se rispetti, sarai rispettato, se giochi al ribasso sarai un perdente e imbrogli i rapporti veri e sacri.

TOMADO DE LA PALABRA ENTRE NOSOTROS
IV DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
Las enseanzas de Cristo no son meros preceptos tericos o abstractos, sino fruto directo de su experiencia personal. En el desierto de Israel, Jess vio que la voluntad divina haba dispuesto una forma de vida en la cual la prueba y la afliccin van desarrollando la rectitud y santidad en el ser humano.
El Seor nos ensea que toda vez que nos damos cuenta de cunto hemos pecado, de la dureza con que hemos actuado o de la forma como acomodamos nuestras reacciones y actitudes segn nos convenga, todas estas son ocasiones en las que l nos invita a soltar las riendas de nuestra vida y pedirle al Espritu que sea l quien dirija nuestros pasos.
En las bienaventuranzas , Jess enseo cul es para el creyente el significado de la vida en el Espiritu Santo. Por ejemplo, los pobres en espritu saben que ellos carecen de los recursos necesarios para llevar a cabo la obra de Dios, por eso claman al Seor implorando la Fortaleza divina. Los que se lamentan por el pecado propio anhelan recibir el perdn y el consuelo de Dios.
Los de corazn limpio y los que sufren por hacer lo Bueno y rechazar lo malo, podran ver a Dios. Ninguna de estas actitudes se aprenden en el aislamiento, sino en el ajetreo de la vida diaria, al tropezar con el pecado que contamina el mundo y con la oscuridad en nuestro propio corazn.
Dios conoce los sufrimientos que pasamos y nos aconseja que apoyemos en l. Adems, promete fortalecernos y hacernos libres para que vayamos creciendo segn el modelo de su propia imagen. Pero no debemos escudarnos tras nuestras propias pruebas, sino confiar en Jess de todo corazn, para que tambin seamos de los bienaventurados de Dios . Cada vez que nos enfrentemos cara a cara con el pecado, corramos a refugiarnos en los brazos de nuestro Padre, que no solo nos perdona , sino que nos llena de su poder y su gracia.
Padre eterno, cuntame entre los que te aman y creen en ti, y concdeme, te lo ruego, luz para ver mi propia condicin y cambiar de rumbo para acercarme ms a ti AMEN !!!
