La casa sin paredes de la vida. Fraternidad en un mundo herido
Abstract
La raíz de la que brota la vida es la fragilidad. Sobre esta paradoja se levanta el milagro y el drama de la existencia, su carácter de aventura, su misterio y su fuerza. Si la intemperie es nuestra casa, los otros -tan vulnerables como nosotros mismos- constituyen el terreno sobre el que caminar, al tiempo que marcan nuestras fronteras.
El presente cuaderno se asoma a las páginas de textos antiguos (el Evangelio y la Biblia hebrea) para labrar con ellos un espejo en donde descubrir el rostro de la fraternidad. Escuchamos, después, el poema de Francisco de Asís, que se hizo hermano de todo y nos ofrece, en palabras delicadas y precisas, el don de la transparencia: cómo ver en lo visible aquello que no vemos pero alienta todo lo que ante nuestra mirada está. Por último, en un tono narrativo, pasaremos revista a algunos de los ras- gos que fundamentan aquello que el autor -desde su propia experiencia de hermano- entiende por fraternidad.
El contexto actual en el que esta reflexión surge -el dolor y la incerti- dumbre provocadas por la pandemia- quiere ser visto como una oportu- nidad, también teológica, para profundizar en nuestra realidad de criaturas marcadas por la herida y abiertas al horizonte imprevisible de la esperanza y el amor.
The root from which life springs is fragility. On this paradox rises the miracle and the drama of existence, its character of adventure, its mystery and its strength. If the weather is our home, the others - as vulnerable as ourselves - constitute the ground on which to walk, at the same time that they mark our borders. This notebook looks at the pages of ancient texts (the Gospel and the Hebrew Bible) to carve with them a mirror in which to discover the face of the fraternity. Later, we listen to the poem of Francisco de Asís, who became a brother of all and offers us, in delicate and precise words, the gift of transparency: how to see in the visible what we do not see but encourage everything before our eyes. is. Finally, in a narrative tone, we will review some of the features that support what the author -from his own experience as a brother- understands by fraternity. The current context in which this reflection arises - the pain and uncertainty caused by the pandemic - wants to be seen as an opportunity, also theological, to delve into our reality of creatures marked by wounds and open to the unpredictable horizon. of hope and love.
