There is a law of international market and the supply and demand, this governs many inner values, from currency in exchange rates, the simpler products of mass consumption. In this sense, and although I belong to no consumer advocates league or anything, noticed that the price of fish these days tended to climb much higher values \u200b\u200bthan usual, is that the law in question affects the value of this product, owners every year to this date.
As many know, and a habit that is a part of Christianity, do not eat red meat for some days of Easter, as this is a traditional practice that many comply.
I have nothing against this tradition, and I aim to defame the practice, respect for its practitioners, as I believe that the origins of it are related to respect for the Easter celebration, and although I think sometimes rituals of this or that nature is good in itself, something of the everyday that really catches my attention.
These days, I see many people who strongly care about not eating meat, because it seems to be a lack of respect it, although in most cases do not know why they are doing this practice, just not eaten at Easter, but why ignoring the issue.
this practice seems to want to please God, and interested here is where I stop.
remember the words of Jesus himself when he said:
"This people honors me with their lips;
but their heart is far from me.
in vain they worship Me,
teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
And he called the crowd, he said: Hear and understand: Not that which goeth into the mouth defiles a man, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man. "
As I mentioned at the beginning of this article does not attempt to disqualify those have this habit, or anything, but I do think that many people believe that performing these rituals can please God, but held something even in most cases know why, just the habit itself, or tradition by tradition only, believing that this is a real way to please God.
In contrast to this, I think God wants so desperately to find a relationship in the daily life of each one of us, to have communion with their children in a practical, simple but profound at the same time.
Meanwhile, we take care of invalidating this genuine relationship believing that we can replace with traditions or rituals, whether in some cases has no meaning or for ourselves, the less meaning or impact can have God.
imagine God tried to approach us, but the nicotine in our lives, three hundred and sixty five days a year, wanting to engage in a lively and effective, while we try to replace a living relationship with an old tradition.
think today more than ever, through Jesus Christ, it's time to rethink the possibility of beginning a life of communion.
There is a God of love that needs no protocols, or a theological discourse access to the sincere search for anyone who wants to come to Him
I'm not sure I could say that is what tradition says nor the manners, but definitely if what Jesus said
"I am the way and the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father except through me"
Christ is love to be loved, the road to be traveled, the truth to be proclaimed, life for living. (*)
