Forgiveness is the report. It can not be electronic
of us, as a child, did not wake up crying in the night, to draw parents' attention? At that moment nothing else mattered except the arms of the father or mother, woke with a start, we took her up to console ourselves with love. The fear disappeared just like that. They were useless at that moment all the inventions that moved around us, in the cradle or in the room. Only the embrace was heart to heart make us able to close his eyes. With patience. This is the image I conjure when I see that our daily lives subjugated by a virtual and increasingly intrusive proposal as the only solution to fill the loneliness that often coincides with the search for meaning. In
paradoxically we bridge the gap with each other through a media instrument, whatever it is, not realizing that so we do not only increase the wound that hurts more than any other man, and so the Bible warns: It is not good that man should be alone. " The increasingly sophisticated technological tools that allow us to close the gap communicating with others - from computer to mobile phones, smartphones <+corsivo_bandiera> <+tondo_bandiera> improved version - does not satisfy the real question that stirs our hearts. It rings false, even for this, the idea that we can even confess through an iPhone, as well as some have claimed (trim down yesterday by the Vatican Press Office Director Fr Lombardi).
Fatigue of God has always been this: to go in search of man, take care of him, his history. Not for nothing that we call it the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Ours is a God who is referred to the other. is always the God of the report . "I do not is only one God but one God, "said Don Tonino Bello. He is a God, the one revealed by Jesus, who does not like human surrogates, whether they are masked by sacrifices and incense, but goes in search of the lost sheep. Until you find it. Then he puts on his shoulder, and back together with her, full of joy.
The Church plays in this field of fragility and weakness its role as a teacher in humanity, going against the trend and showing in every situation, the alternative of a personal encounter. In a world where you want the beginning of life is outside of this "face to face," and death is increasingly isolated and regulated the relationship between a and the individual machine, including all the limitations and human frailties may presume to be virtually solved. In the sacrament of reconciliation, the Church is shown as the one who seeks, expects, embracing, kissing, partying. Because what is important to us is that just as the greater distance from the peace and happiness the man find forgiveness primarily as a relationship.
The Church wants to continue to be a mother to us, and invites us tirelessly to move from car to us from individualism to the reception. How could he do this through a computer? Be healed and feel loved for who we are: it is not the result of merits acquired but the free gift of one who loves you forever. The love we perceive in the report: How our parents in those distant cries at night. Nobody, not even the media, may be appointed to replace this relationship with the other.
How many times have I experienced the confession as the meeting between the two hands of the masterpiece by Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel. A new creation. While I get - or offer - forgiveness I understand that there's more in that "I absolve you from your sins." There is a whole new life of a church that takes care of me, or whoever is in front of me. What inspires me to be able to take risks and I assume a new responsibility. In real life. Every day. Without hiding behind a iPhone.
