Veľký pôst pre domácu Cirkev: Druhý štvrtok (11)

Počas Veľkého pôstu sa viac modlíme, uctievame a postíme. Sme tiež vyzvaní, aby sa zdieľanie stalo viac súčasťou našich životov. V Biblii sa slovo “almužna” používa pre zdieľanie našich hmotných statkov.

Niektorí ľudia majú veľké bohatstvo; väčšina však nie. Ale každý človek sa má o niečo podeliť, pretože taký je Boží plán pre nás. Svätý Pavol nás učí: „Boh má moc rozhojniť vo vás každú milosť, aby ste mali vždy vo všetkom úplný dostatok a aby ste mali hojne na každý dobrý skutok.“ (2 Kor 9, 8). Božím plánom je, aby sme mali dosť (“dostatok”) na uspokojenie našich potrieb a viac než dosť (“hojnosť”) na to, aby sme sa mohli deliť s druhými.

Niekedy si pletieme “potreby” a “túžby”. To, že niečo chceme, ešte neznamená, že to potrebujeme. A to, že si to môžeme dovoliť, ešte neznamená, že by sme si to mali kúpiť. Ak svoju hojnosť venujeme na uspokojenie vlastných túžob, potom maríme Boží plán pre nás. Okrádame Boha.

Niekedy si pletieme “potreby” a “želania”. Pretože chceme niečo chceme, neznamená to, že to potrebujeme. A pretože môžeme si to môžeme dovoliť, nemusí to nevyhnutne znamenať, že by sme si to mali kúpiť. Ak sa venujeme svoju hojnosť na uspokojenie vlastných potrieb, potom frustrujeme Boží plán pre nás. Okrádame Boha.

Jedným zo spôsobov, ako dávať almužnu počas Veľkého pôstu je zriadenie Pôstnej schránky, ktorá sa potom rozdá chudobným. Povzbudzujte sa navzájom, aby ste každý deň vhadzovali almužnu do obetnej schránky ako prejav solidarity s chudobnými počas tohto svätého obdobia.

• Finančné prostriedky odovzdané v rámci Pôstnej schránky sú určené na pomoc sirotám, hladným, bezdomovcom, ľuďom bojujúcim so závislosťou, obetiam vojen, chorôb a katastrof, ako sú zemetrasenia a hurikány.

• Pôstnu schránku umiestnite si do svojho domova, napr. do blízkosti kútika s ikonou, a začnite ju plniť. Naša nádej je Otec naše útočisko Syn a náš ochranca je  Svätý Duch. Svätá Trojica, Bože náš, sláva tebe.
