The desire for a change
Andrés Cisterna(Audio: Spanish)
"...You have changed my regret into dancing, you untied my cilicio and you girded me for joy..." When I saw this text, it has been a sequence of many situations, but there is a word that caught my attention, the word 'change', changed , it says here. And I titled this sermon 'The Desire for Change'. Everyone in one way or another, we want a change. Either way, when fall comes winter comes, then spring. Some of us want a physical, urgent change. We go on a diet to be able to wear a t-shirt even in the summer, otherwise, some of us need a change in our character, in our personality. We are always struggling with something. The world needs a change.
This reflection was born a few months ago when I called my church to a time of fasting, 21 days of fasting, and we put 'I want a change'. Always when we talk about change, Lord, and we spiritualize it, Lord, change the pastor. Sir, this cell leader, open me another cell or change it to me, Sir. Lord, change my brother who has no sympathy at all.
