Hoje, no anivers\u00e1rio da Imaculada Concei\u00e7\u00e3o da SVM, quando nos congregamos numa unidade de cora\u00e7\u00f5es e mentes, cordialmente sa\u00fado a cada um de V\u00f3s, come\u00e7ando pelos coirm\u00e3os mais idosos e terminando por aqueles que pela primeira vez vivenciam a festa patronal na nossa comunidade. Agrade\u00e7o pela fiel perman\u00eancia junto a Cristo, que \u00e9 a maior riqueza da comunidade, e pelo trabalho cotidiano, muitas vezes humilde e despercebido.<\/p>\n<p>2. A Imaculada Concei\u00e7\u00e3o de nossa M\u00e3e Maria \u00e9 um milagre da Sant\u00edssima Trindade: sinal do amor desinteressado de Deus, perfeito s\u00edmbolo da reden\u00e7\u00e3o que foi realizada por Jesus Cristo, atrav\u00e9s de uma vida inteiramente aberta \u00e0 a\u00e7\u00e3o do Esp\u00edrito. A contempla\u00e7\u00e3o desse mist\u00e9rio provoca em n\u00f3s um enlevamento cada vez maior pela nossa voca\u00e7\u00e3o mariana. Por sua vez esse enlevamento faz brotar uma indiz\u00edvel confian\u00e7a, alegria e gratid\u00e3o diante de Deus e faz com que nada mais desejemos a n\u00e3o ser que Deus realize em cada um de n\u00f3s o que realizou em Maria:\u00a0<i>que sejamos santos e imaculados diante da Sua face<\/i>\u00a0(cf. Ef. 5:27), que proclamemos com entusiasmo a todo o mundo o misericordioso amor de Deus, que \u00e9 mais poderoso que todo mal e que faz tudo se tornar novo. Ao mesmo tempo entristece-nos o nosso pecado, que conduz \u00e0 morte e deforma a Igreja. Entretanto na Imaculada Concei\u00e7\u00e3o de Maria descobrimos novamente a beleza da verdade e do amor e reencontramos o caminho a Deus. Por isso exclamemos hoje do fundo do cora\u00e7\u00e3o:\u00a0<i>Immaculata Virginis Mariae Conceptio sit nobis salus et protectio.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>3. Hoje encerramos o ano de a\u00e7\u00e3o de gra\u00e7as pela beatifica\u00e7\u00e3o do Padre Renovador. Chegou a hora de fazermos dele uma primeira s\u00edntese. Dirigimos a nossa especial sauda\u00e7\u00e3o aos irm\u00e3os nas Filipinas, que carregam sobre si o peso maior \u2013 o da cria\u00e7\u00e3o de uma nova prov\u00edncia como obra da nossa gratid\u00e3o pela beatifica\u00e7\u00e3o. J\u00e1 os primeiros meses mostraram que essa miss\u00e3o exige muitos sacrif\u00edcios, confian\u00e7a em Deus diante das numerosas incertezas, mas tamb\u00e9m traz esperan\u00e7a e abre diante de n\u00f3s novos horizontes. Envolvamos os mission\u00e1rios que ali trabalham, bem como aqueles que se preparam para esse trabalho, com a nossa ardente ora\u00e7\u00e3o e solicitude. Numa carta separada informarei os coirm\u00e3os a respeito dos nossos planos nas Filipinas e a respeito da participa\u00e7\u00e3o das comunidades e institui\u00e7\u00f5es marianas na realiza\u00e7\u00e3o dessa miss\u00e3o.<\/p>\n<p>4. Com a beatifica\u00e7\u00e3o n\u00f3s vinculamos muitas esperan\u00e7as. Talvez cont\u00e1ssemos que automaticamente ela resolveria todos os problemas da Congrega\u00e7\u00e3o, superaria a crise, provocaria o imediato desenvolvimento da nossa comunidade religiosa e, principalmente, que contribuiria para o crescimento das voca\u00e7\u00f5es. Mas isso n\u00e3o aconteceu. Temos consci\u00eancia de que se trata aqui de algo mais importante, n\u00e3o de mudan\u00e7as aparentes ou de um falso sentimento de orgulho por nos tornarmos cada vez mais numerosos, por desenvolvermos obras apost\u00f3licas cada vez mais maravilhosas. Deus quer despertar-nos para uma profunda transforma\u00e7\u00e3o e para a volta \u00e0s nossas ra\u00edzes, ou seja, \u00e0 imita\u00e7\u00e3o de Jesus Cristo e \u00e0 vida assinalada pelo carisma primitivo. A beatifica\u00e7\u00e3o do Padre Papczynski \u00e9 um dom para a Congrega\u00e7\u00e3o, para abrirmos uma nova p\u00e1gina da nossa hist\u00f3ria. Ser\u00e1 que tal convic\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e9 apenas uma ilus\u00e3o, ou a manifesta\u00e7\u00e3o de um desejo presente em nossos pensamentos? Ou talvez realmente, pela beatifica\u00e7\u00e3o do Fundador, Deus quer chamar a nossa aten\u00e7\u00e3o para alguma coisa de que depende o futuro da nossa Congrega\u00e7\u00e3o?<\/p>\n<p>5. A essa pergunta procuramos responder no decorrer de todo o ano passado durante os dias de recolhimento, os retiros, as sess\u00f5es cient\u00edficas e a leitura dos textos do Fundador. A fim de reunir a nossa experi\u00eancia, e tamb\u00e9m para mais uma vez estimular a pensar, pedi a todos os nossos coirm\u00e3os que escrevessem um testemunho a respeito do Padre Papczynski e da sua beatifica\u00e7\u00e3o. Durante o convento geral, que nestes dias se realiza em Roma, queremos reconhecer o especial\u00a0<i>kair\u00f3s<\/i>\u00a0(tempo) que \u00e9 a beatifica\u00e7\u00e3o do Fundador e formular propostas concretas a respeito de como responder a esse\u00a0<i>kair\u00f3s<\/i>. J\u00e1 as primeiras vozes que chegaram parecem confirmar que pela beatifica\u00e7\u00e3o Deus nos convida a voltarmos ao nosso objetivo carism\u00e1tico, que \u00e9 a difus\u00e3o da honra da Imaculada Concei\u00e7\u00e3o de Nossa Senhora, o sufr\u00e1gio dos falecidos e a evangeliza\u00e7\u00e3o amplamente entendida. Tudo parece indicar que o reconhecimento desse sinal do tempo dever\u00e1 definir o nosso futuro.<\/p>\n<p>6. Hoje iniciamos igualmente o Ano Jubilar do 100\u00ba anivers\u00e1rio do renascimento e da reforma da nossa Congrega\u00e7\u00e3o, promovidos pelo beato Jorge Matulaitis-Matulewicz. A milagrosa salva\u00e7\u00e3o da morte da nossa Congrega\u00e7\u00e3o h\u00e1 100 anos e a sua reforma foram certamente a mais forte experi\u00eancia da Miseric\u00f3rdia de Deus em nossa hist\u00f3ria, uma importante confirma\u00e7\u00e3o de que somos imortantes para Deus e de que o nosso carisma \u00e9 necess\u00e1rio \u00e0 Igreja. Passado um s\u00e9culo, quremos voltar \u00e0queles acontecimentos, a fim de dar gra\u00e7as a Deus por esse dom da Sua Miseric\u00f3rdia. Queremos tamb\u00e9m lan\u00e7ar um olhar sobre esses 100 anos passados para agradecer a Deus pelo que nasceu do Esp\u00edrito e produziu bons frutos e pedir-Lhe perd\u00e3o pelos nossos pecados, que t\u00eam promovido a destrui\u00e7\u00e3o nossa e da nossa comunidade. Mas acima de tudo queremos pedir a Deus que tamb\u00e9m hoje infunda o Seu Esp\u00edrito em cada um de n\u00f3s e em toda a Congrega\u00e7\u00e3o, para que, transformados pelo Seu poder, cumpramos a nossa voca\u00e7\u00e3o na Igreja e no mundo. Trata-se de n\u00e3o apenas falarmos do nosso carisma, mas de vivermos com ele.<\/p>\n<p>7. O cent\u00e9sesimo anivers\u00e1rio da reforma da Congrega\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e9 tamb\u00e9m uma ocasi\u00e3o para da perspectiva do tempo mais uma vez verificarmos os elementos que permanentemente t\u00eam enriquecido e assinalado o nosso carisma e o nosso estilo de vida e de trabalho e aqueles que resultaram da necessidade hist\u00f3rica de adaptar a Congrega\u00e7\u00e3o a uma vida de resist\u00eancia, mas que hoje j\u00e1 perderam a sua atualidade. Com esse objetivo, no Ano Jubilar queremos promover um estudo hist\u00f3rico-teol\u00f3gico (simp\u00f3sio em Liche\u0144) cr\u00edtico e livre de quaisquer preconceitos. Verifica-se n\u00e3o apenas que pouco conhec\u00edamos o Padre Papczynski e os seus escritos, mas tamb\u00e9m que continuamos conhecendo pouco as circunst\u00e2ncias da renova\u00e7\u00e3o e os escritos do beato Jorge a respeito do car\u00e1ter e da natureza da Congrega\u00e7\u00e3o (inclusive o\u00a0<i>Ideal diretivo<\/i>\u00a0e as primeiras instru\u00e7\u00f5es), que, como o confessa o Beato, deviam completar as Constitui\u00e7\u00f5es por ele redigidas. Por isso, no Ano Jubilar, convido a uma leitura di\u00e1ria, ainda que breve, dos escritos do beato Jorge antes de uma das refei\u00e7\u00f5es comuns.<\/p>\n<p>8. As primeiras gera\u00e7\u00f5es dos marianos na Congrega\u00e7\u00e3o renascida chamavam o beato Jorge de reformador. Parece que tal defini\u00e7\u00e3o corresponde \u00e0 verdade. Na tradi\u00e7\u00e3o da Igreja, houve dois processos que receberam o nome de reforma. Atualmente ela geralmente define as mudan\u00e7as das formas exteriores das institui\u00e7\u00f5es eclesi\u00e1stidas. Isso ocorreu na nossa comunidade exatamente no in\u00edcio do s\u00e9culo XX. Mas vale a pena saber que at\u00e9 cerca do s\u00e9culo XI a reforma se relacionava exclusivamente com o homem, que devia ser reformado a exemplo de Jesus Cristo, o que s\u00f3 pode ser realizado pelo Esp\u00edrito Santo. Toda obra divina e toda aut\u00eantica reforma na Igreja nascem do Esp\u00edrito Santo e iniciam-se pela transforma\u00e7\u00e3o do cora\u00e7\u00e3o e da mente (metanoia), ou seja, pela convers\u00e3o do homem. Ainda que a palavra\u00a0<i>reforma<\/i>possa hoje despertar em n\u00f3s associa\u00e7\u00f5es negativas, foi justamente ela que no decorrer dos onze primeiros s\u00e9culos tem traduzido na Igreja a ess\u00eancia da convers\u00e3o. O beato Jorge assim rezava: \u201cInflamai apenas, Senhor, os nossos cora\u00e7\u00f5es com o fogo do Vosso amor. Concedei-nos o Vosso Esp\u00edrito Santo, para que, tendo realmente renunciado a tudo, possamos dedicar-nos unicamene \u00e0 Vossa gl\u00f3ria e \u00e0 Vossa Igreja\u201d. Deus ouviu a sua prece e fez dele um participante da a\u00e7\u00e3o reformadora do Seu Esp\u00edrito.<\/p>\n<p>9. Por isso hoje, quando iniciamos o Ano Jubilar do renascimento e da reforma da Congrega\u00e7\u00e3o, dirijo a mim mesmo e a cada um de V\u00f3s um ardente pedido:\u00a0<i>Permitamos que o Esp\u00edrito Santo nos reforme!<\/i>\u00a0\u00c9 do Esp\u00edrito Santo que procede o dom da convers\u00e3o. \u00c9 o Esp\u00edrito Santo que tem o poder de assemelhar-nos na vida e nas a\u00e7\u00f5es a Jesus Cristo e de acender em n\u00f3s o carisma mariano. \u00c9 a gra\u00e7a do Esp\u00edrito que nos capacitar\u00e1 a aceitar com amor o irm\u00e3o, especialmente aquele dif\u00edcil, e a lhe demonstrar miseric\u00f3rdia atrav\u00e9s do perd\u00e3o. O drama do cora\u00e7\u00e3o humano consiste em ele n\u00e3o apenas n\u00e3o considerar errado depositar a esperan\u00e7a nas pr\u00f3prias possibilidades e tra\u00e7ar a pr\u00f3pria vida segundo seu pr\u00f3prio plano, mas tamb\u00e9m em n\u00e3o pressentir os bens que Jesus Cristo lhe pode oferecer. Pode-se viver na vida religiosa \u2013 e estar longe de Deus. Enganam-se aqueles a quem parece que a profiss\u00e3o dos votos e a recep\u00e7\u00e3o das ordens garante a salva\u00e7\u00e3o de forma definitiva, e tamb\u00e9m aqueles que a tal ponto est\u00e3o ocupados com os sucessos do seu trabalho, que vivem como se j\u00e1 n\u00e3o precisassem de Deus. Pode-se viver na vida religiosa \u2013 e n\u00e3o ter uma vida espiritual. Por acaso isso n\u00e3o pode ser confirmado pelo fato de que com tanta frequ\u00eancia nos dispensamos da ora\u00e7\u00e3o comunit\u00e1ria e pessoal, da medita\u00e7\u00e3o, da audi\u00e7\u00e3o da palavra de Deus, do exame de consci\u00eancia, do sil\u00eancio? E a ora\u00e7\u00e3o, como fonte primordial da nossa vida espiritual, deveria ser a \u00faltima tarefa a que dever\u00edamos renunciar. Ser\u00e1 que a nossa vida espiritual n\u00e3o \u00e9 muitas vezes substitu\u00edda pelas atra\u00e7\u00f5es da internet ou dos eventos sociais? Ser\u00e1 que a vida no Esp\u00edrito Santo n\u00e3o \u00e9 muitas vezes substitu\u00edda pelo excessivo ativismo? Algu\u00e9m baseado nas pr\u00f3prias for\u00e7as pode at\u00e9 viver honestamente, mas sem o poder do Esp\u00edrito ningu\u00e9m tem condi\u00e7\u00f5es de imitar a Jesus Cristo. Algu\u00e9m pode at\u00e9, segundo a medida humana, realizar um belo trabalho, mas, se as suas obras n\u00e3o brotarem do Esp\u00edrito Santo, n\u00e3o ter\u00e3o maior influ\u00eancia sobre a salva\u00e7\u00e3o dos outros.<\/p>\n<p>10. Pode-se tamb\u00e9m viver na vida religiosa \u2013 e levar uma vida mundana. Aborda isso expressamente o Padre Fundador: \u201cDe que te adiantar\u00e1 se exteriormente te fingires de religioso, e no interior fores pior que o pior dos mundanos?\u201d (IC, 146). Segundo o beato Padre Estanislau, o estado religioso de algu\u00e9m que escolheu a vida religiosa, mas que n\u00e3o vive segundo ela, \u201c\u00e9 o mais tr\u00e1gico e digno de l\u00e1stima; \u00e9 pior que o das pessoas que perambulam pelos becos do mundo\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>11.\u00a0<i>Permite ser reformado pelo Esp\u00edrito Santo.<\/i>\u00a0Dirijo esse pedido tamb\u00e9m \u00e0queles que se enredaram em v\u00e1rios tipos de pecados, que eliminam neles a alegria e o entusiasmo de seguir os passos de Jesus. Dirijo tamb\u00e9m esse apelo \u00e0queles que vivenciam uma crise de f\u00e9 e que talvez estejam pensando em abandonar a Congrega\u00e7\u00e3o e de programar uma vida segundo a sua vis\u00e3o pessoal. Afinal os votos uma vez professados devem ser observados. \u00c8 uma ilus\u00e3o imaginar que em outro lugar podemos servir \u00e0 Igreja com mais proveito. Os momentos de dificuldades, de intensas tenta\u00e7\u00f5es ou de crise, os per\u00edodos de esmorecimento e de infidelidade \u2013 seja na vida pessoal, seja em toda a nossa comunidade \u2013 podem ser por n\u00f3s vistos como uma purifica\u00e7\u00e3o proporcionada pelo pr\u00f3prio Deus, exigindo de n\u00f3s que busquemos mais apoio n\u2019Ele mesmo. Nos momentos de crise n\u00e3o podemos continuar na cinzenta vulgaridade ou na mediocridade. Ou damos um passo mais firme em dire\u00e7\u00e3o a Deus, ou perecemos. Num momento de crise n\u00e3o existe outra possibilidade.<\/p>\n<p>12. Toda comunidade recebeu o progrsma das comemora\u00e7\u00f5es do Ano Jubilar, elaborado em coopera\u00e7\u00e3o com a Administra\u00e7\u00e3o Geral pelo pe. Janusz Kumala, pelo que cordialmente lhe agrade\u00e7o. Pe\u00e7o a todos os coirm\u00e3os que se familiarizem com esse programa e depois \u2013 com f\u00e9 e entusiasmo \u2013 que se envolvam na sua realiza\u00e7\u00e3o. Mas acima de tudo proponho e pe\u00e7o que o nosso Jubileu seja um tempo de intensa ora\u00e7\u00e3o pelo Esp\u00edrito Santo e pela obedi\u00eancia \u00e0 Sua a\u00e7\u00e3o. H\u00e1 cem anos Deus n\u00e3o apenas salvou a nossa comunidade da morte, mas com extraordin\u00e1rio poder infundiu nela o Seu Esp\u00edrito. Pe\u00e7amos que tamb\u00e9m hoje o Esp\u00edrito Santo acenda de n\u00f3s novamente\u00a0<i>o fogo do Seu amor<\/i>, aquele fogo que se acendeu entre os Ap\u00f3stolos reunidos no Cen\u00e1culo, dando in\u00edcio \u00e0 Igreja; o fogo que se inflamou no cora\u00e7\u00e3o do Padre Estanislau, dando in\u00edcio \u00e0 nossa comunidade religiosa. O fogo que envolveu o Padre Jorge e o impeliu a promover a obra do renascimento e da reforma da nossa comunidade.<\/p>\n<p>13. Para o tempo do Jubileu, confio a cada um de V\u00f3s e toda a nossa comunidade \u00e0 Miseric\u00f3rdia de Deus Pai, ao poder reparador de Jesus Cristo e \u00e0 for\u00e7a vivificante do Esp\u00edrito Santo. E suplico a Maria Imaculada que interceda por n\u00f3s, Seus filhos espirituais.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Jan M.
