Why are we so surprised, Lord?

In the silence of the night, surprised
the world in your smallness.
There, on the banks of the Jordan, as one,
Did you receive baptism from John.
It was then, Lord, when engines
Your mission is launched.
Possessed and men and women,
tired of concerns, were
relieved by your presence.
Others, comfortably seated on the seashore,
heard, unexpectedly your call: Come follow me!
Lepers, Lord, were clean as a sunrise.
The lame again feel the hardness of the roads.
Sick and possessed, sinners and adulterers
understood that, your presence, was that ... love and only love.
The sins, from your arrival, there were stronger
God's mercy.

Why, again, surprised us today, Lord?
Do you remember that day in the boat?
A treacherous storm fear we jumped up in the core.
Your hand is always timely, even with our lack of faith, calmed.
The dead, remember, Jesus? again for your intervention to life.
The hungry, in unforgettable multiplications
of loaves and fishes, embraced the fullness.
The sad, to your divine joy, on the Mount of the Beatitudes,
found a thousand reasons for her tears, sufferings and hopes.

Why, again, surprised us Lord?
Your wisdom and university were parables of the Kingdom of God.
Who does not know how to pray, soon, very soon, he learned to say "Abba" "Father".
Who said what they did then,
Suddenly he felt uncomfortable with the light and your truth foil.
Who tried to comfortably live in the castle of his hypocrisy,
cracked before the empire of your Kingdom.
Yes, Jesus has left us so much, you have given us so much ...
God has shown us!
With you, the last, is first in heaven.
You, the test, is something to overcome.
You, the beggar is king.
You, the king is vassal.
With you, the sinner recovers grace.
Contigo, which is fair, is out.
You, the lost sheep back to the fold.
Contigo, which left will always have a room in your house.
You, the child does not, your entry will be difficult in the sky.
With you, who knows it all, does not know God.
You, who is blind, recovered light.
You, who sees everything, is unable to see the reflection of God.
With you, death is springboard to rise to life.
With you, crying, is water that purifies our eyes.
With you, the night is overcome by the splendor of the day.
Contigo, passion, suffering or death.
are singing notes that precede Easter.

Why, again, surprised us Lord?
Today, surprise us, Lord.
With your love .... that is unbreakable and unique, good and true.
With your service ... it's radical, obedient and a great example.
With your priesthood ... to never missing us heralds of your Word.
Hands spread on bread and reconciled to God and man.
And humanity with God himself.
Thank you, Lord, are amazing!
