Contemplating the beauty of the lilies without wanting to appropriate it (Mt. 6.24 to 34)


Often our religious spirit leads us to attribute to God everything that happens in our reality. In everyday life people. He would, on this view, the author of good and evil. Of grace that allows us to live with hope and peace. And the de-grace in anguish. What makes us lose the sense and joy of living. God would ultimately be the one who gives food to her children. But also the one that 'allows' other children starve and die. All this is merely a human projection about God. A "god-idol 'shaped and manipulated according to our categories and human structures. He who can not be captured by the human mind is represented according to our interests and convenience.

Jesus today reaffirms the 'distance' between the way we think / act of God and ours. Human attempts to tame, control and capture God are vain and useless. They are also foolish attempts to adapt it to our needs petty. other words, want to make middle between our conveniences and how sovereign act of God. Jesus says in loud and clear that the disciple who took the logic of the Kingdom and its justice is essential to act coherently radical.

this logic is based and flanked by the justice that allows us to 'consider the lilies of the field', appreciate its beauty and elegance, not wanting to take the appropriate action. Observe with fascination the 'Birds from heaven and they do not sow or reap, 'and despise the desire to' have barns full of grain 'accounts and full of castor oil. Only 'hungering and thirsting for righteousness' can inhibit our desire to build. And satisfy the hunger and thirst for bread and dignity of so many sons and daughters. Those who are worth more than the lilies and birds were dispossessed by other children. Instead of taking the logic of God, they allied with Mammon and its logic. The bow down and worship him. To him sell his own soul and freedom.
