First Week of Advent

Word for today
The Gospel of Matthew 9:27-31

Knowing 

It is necessary that men know this truth. This truth has been distorted, betrayed, wrongly translated, forgotten and made be forgotten, hidden, darkened, derided, humiliated, thrown in disgrace, reduced to heresy, made synonym of insanity, perversion, apostasy. It is the truth that, if known and practiced by people, it would take away in a second all the power from the powerful and hegemonic dominators on earth. If people knew this truth, dictatorship and tiranny, slavery and exploitment would cease to exist on earth. The religious agencies carefully hush this truth up, rather, some of those preach this truth as it was dark evil, the origin of men's every sufference, evil and pain.
The truth that Jesus revealed in a powerful and amazing way, can be used by everyone and each one of us, and it is enclosed in these words: let it be done for you according to your faith. Jesus reveals that man's desire, humbly laid in his loving hands, gets charged with a power and an incommensurable energy that can make the impossible possible. With unspeakable effort and discipline, in the name of God and His divine will, the annihilation and denial of this truth, since thousands of years now, is brought to men's heart and mind. Cultures, politics, ideologies, economies, religions are all joined in the same perverse principle: pushing with all their strenght the individual to deny his own inner and deep desires, because they are surely against God and His will, without doubt against the interest and the progress of the community and national security. Betrying our inner desires has become the symbol of heroism and honor, of moral righteousness, of ascetic and spiritual process, of social progress. Erasing in men the source of desire and the possibility to use our own feeling for our evolution, homogenizing it with a common training, is, matter of fact, erasing the act of affirmation of unicity, peculiarity, novelty, identity with which the individual came to existence. If man is not what he desires and feels in his identity and individuality, then what the hell is he?
The true miracle Jesus made to the two blind men is not only the gift of sight, according to the power of their desire, but also the inspiration that he generated with his question: do you believe that I can do this?, and the revolutionary new and wise answer of the two blind men: yes, Lord. Jesus inspired the two blind men to recognize in themselves the power, truth, cleanliness, grace, strenght of their desire, and their answer is one that reveals how in those two hearts the awareness of the truth was born: yes, Lord; we now know that you are able of anything, and all will be done according to the power and light of our desire.
