Parábola da dracma perdida.

"A maior sabedoria que existe é conhecer a si mesmo." G.Galilei

Versículo: "Para te afastar do mau caminho, e do homem que fala coisas perversas; Dos que deixam as veredas da retidão, para andarem pelos caminhos escusos; Que se alegram de fazer mal, e folgam com as perversidades dos maus, Cujas veredas são tortuosas e que se desviam nos seus caminhos; Para te afastar da mulher estranha, sim da estranha que lisonjeia com suas palavras;" Provérbios 2:12-16

Bom dia! Pessoal

Parábola da dracma perdida.
 
Uma pobre mulher tinha dez dracmas. Era toda a sua riqueza...
A dracma era uma pequena moeda grega, que tinha valor também na terra de Jesus, pois muitos filhos da Grécia lá viviam e usavam essa moeda.

A pobre mulher possuia dez moedinhas gregas.
Guardava-as com cuidado, pois era zelosa de seus deveres e aquela pequena quantia estava destinada ao pagamento de suas despesas no lar.

Ela não ficou sabendo como, mas, a verdade éque, quando abriu o cofrezinho, onde guardava o dinheiro, só encontrou nove moedas. Para onde teria ido a que faltava?

Acendeu a candeia de barro e procurou-a em sua casinha. Remexeu as roupas, arrastou a pequena mobília e buscou a vassoura. Varreu toda a casa, em busca da moedinha que lhe era tão útil e necessária. Finalmente, depois de muito procurar e muito varrer, encontrou sua dracmazinha perdida.

Que alegria! Agora poderia pagar todas as suas pequenas dívidas... Não estava mais preocupada: achou sua moedinha desaparecida e novamente a colocou junto das outras nove, na caixinha de madeira.

Ficou tão contente com o encontro, que contou o caso às suas amigas vizinhas que também eram pobres, e para quem uma pequena moeda fazia igualmente muita falta.

E dizia às suas vizinhas:
- Minhas amigas, alegrem-se comigo, porque achei a minha dracma que se havia perdido.
Assim também — diz Jesus no Evangelho — há muita alegria entre os anjos de Deus quando um pecador se arrepende dos erros cometidos.

Esta parábola, filhinho, como as duas anteriores — do Filho Pródigo e da Ovelha Desgarrada — também quer levar nossa alma ao arrependimento de nossas faltas. A história nos mostra que existe um Deus de Bondade que quer salvar-nos de nossos erros e pecados.

Se uma pobre mulher, ao perder uma pequena moeda, se esforça para encontrá-la e não descansa enquanto não a acha, também Deus, meu filho, nos procura, sem cessar, nos quartos escuros de nossas vidas. Também Deus acende uma candeia e nos ilumina, pois, nós somos Suas “dracmas perdidas”. Ele quer encontrar-nos, Ele nos quer para Si Mesmo, para o seu Reino, para a Felicidade Eterna que nos reserva.

É por isso, filhinho, que o Céu tanto se preocupa em iluminar a Terra. É por isso que Deus possui um imenso exército de Benfeitores Celestiais — que são os Bons Espíritos, os Espíritos da Luz e do Bem —que, incessantemente, nos inspiram seus bons pensamentos, ajudando-nos sempre e ensinando-nos a Vontade Divina em suas mensagens.

Os Benfeitores Espirituais são como que as candeias de Deus. E nós as dracmas perdidas. Nós estamos no chão, na poeira de nossos erros, longe da Luz e da Verdade. Mas, os Benfeitores Espirituais, as candeias de Deus, nos iluminam. Se nós nos entregarmos em suas mãos, se aceitarmos sua Luz e nos arrependermos sinceramente de nossas faltas, eles nos tomam sob sua guarda — eles nos “acham” — e se alegram muitissimo com a nossa regeneração. Há, então, muita alegria no Céu, entre nossos Benfeitores Espirituais, porque nossas almas sairam da escuridão do erro, aceitaram a Luz da Verdade e voltaram para as mãos de Deus.

Que você, querida criança, pense bem, medite sinceramente sobre esta parábola. Se você se sente uma “dracmazinha perdida” (isto é, se você reconhece seus defeitos e imperfeições), não se esconda da Luz da Verdade, que está em Jesus Cristo.

Excelente Domingo
Abraços       (^_-)

Não existem sonhos impossíveis para aqueles que realmente acreditam que o poder realizador reside no interior de cada ser humano, sempre que alguém descobre esse poder algo antes considerado impossível se torna realidade.

Sds, Marcell

Você já entende porque o sucesso bate à sua porta? Não! É para experimentar a temperatura de seus sentimentos fraternos e para que veja os frutos das outras arvores e as que precisam da sua atenção.

"E, finalmente, sede todos de um mesmo sentimento, compassivos, amando os irmãos, entranhavelmente misericordiosos e afáveis." (1 Pedro 3:8)
