Budi svjetlo mira (prema pjesmi „Accendi la pace“ od Gen Verde

Biblija: psalam 34,15

“Traži mir i za njim idi!“

Impuls:

Lako se stekne dojam kako živimo u ratnom i nemirnom svijetu. To se odnosi na velike izvore sukoba, ali i na naš suživot u društvu, gdje se ponekad svatko bori protiv svakoga. Pitam se: što se dogodilo sa velikim obećanjem mira o kojem nam govori biblija? Možda nam riječi iz psalma mogu pokazati ispravan smjer: ukoliko doista želim postići mir, tada ću započeti od sebe.

Mir je više od odricanja od nasilja. To je životni stav u kojem dobronamjerno prilazim drugima i poštujem ih kao vrijedne ljude, posebno one siromašne i odbačene. To je ponekad teško ostvariti samo svojom snagom. Bog je saveznik koji nas u tome uvijek pomaže. Možemo Mu se obratiti putem ove, stare molitve: „Gospodine, učini me oruđem svoga mira!“ Tako ćemo postati blistava svjetla u ovom, često nemirnom svijetu.

„I’ve got Hope!“ (according to “I’ve got Hope” by Gen Verde)

Holy Scripture: 1 Peter 3,16

“Always be ready to answer every one who will ask you about the hope that fills you.”

Impulse:
“What do I want to achieve in my life?” – You have already asked this question for sure. And you will have noticed: there are quite different answers. There are e.g. ideas about the future job, the place where you want to live but also personal issues, such as the question of family and real friendships. In other words, what is your hope for your life, what gives you strength?

Sharing our dreams of living with other people creates a sustainable community. Do you know people with whom you can share your hopes and dreams? It is worth to be open for these encounters. Perhaps by sharing our hopes, we may even have an experience with Jesus who wants to give us a deep hope for our lives.
