Hoje \u00e9 Dia de Natal. \u00c9 Dia de Jesus. O Natal \u00e9 um imenso caudal de luz e de alegria, hemorragia de Jesus. H\u00e1 quem pense amans\u00e1-lo e enlat\u00e1-lo, domestic\u00e1-lo, e depois tom\u00e1-lo em pequenos comprimidos, mais ou menos \u00e0 raz\u00e3o de um por dia. Mas o Natal n\u00e3o se pode compr\u00e1-lo ou avi\u00e1-lo por receita. Nem cumpriment\u00e1-lo, quer com a m\u00e3o esquerda quer com a direita. O Natal n\u00e3o tem regra ou etiqueta. N\u00e3o se pode seme\u00e1-lo na jeira ali ao lado. N\u00e3o se pode troc\u00e1-lo por qualquer bugiganga \u00e0 venda no mercado. O Natal n\u00e3o se pode mat\u00e1-lo, e retir\u00e1-lo anu\u00e1rio, do calend\u00e1rio, do dicion\u00e1rio, do vocabul\u00e1rio. Por mim, hei de sempre am\u00e1-lo. Este vendaval, que se chama Natal, s\u00f3 podemos deix\u00e1-lo entrar por n\u00f3s adentro aos borbot\u00f5es, at\u00e9 que rebentem os port\u00f5es, e caiam um a um do nosso fraque todos os bot\u00f5es. Tamb\u00e9m o mofo e o verdete que h\u00e1 nos cora\u00e7\u00f5es ser\u00e3o levados na torrente, e tamb\u00e9m tudo o que apenas \u00e9 corrente, banal ou indiferente. S\u00f3 ficaremos mesmo eu e tu, menino, s\u00f3 mesmo n\u00f3s os dois, lado-a-lado ou frente-a-frente.<\/p>\n
O Natal \u00e9 Jesus.<\/p>\n
Vem, Senhor Jesus. Bate \u00e0 nossa porta. Encandeia a nossa vida.<\/p>\n
