Nous publions la r\u00e9flexion du P\u00e8re Innocent Bakwangama, IMC, lors de la messe de la Solennit\u00e9 de la Nativit\u00e9 de Saint Jean-Baptiste \u00e0 la Maison G\u00e9n\u00e9ralice \u00e0 Rome, ce lundi 24 juin.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Il y a beaucoup \u00e0 dire sur la solennit\u00e9 d’aujourd’hui, la nativit\u00e9 de Saint Jean-Baptiste. Mais je voudrais souligner un seul aspect, que l’on retrouve dans la deuxi\u00e8me lecture (Actes 13, 22-26).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Par Innocent Bakwangama *<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je commence par rappeler que le peuple d\u2019Isra\u00ebl pensait que Jean-Baptiste \u00e9tait le Messie qu\u2019il attendait. Une explication de l\u2019int\u00e9ress\u00e9 \u00e9tait donc n\u00e9cessaire pour clarifier les choses. C’est pour cette raison qu’au moment o\u00f9 il \u00e9tait sur le point de conclure le cours de sa vie, il a dit: \u00ab Je ne suis pas celui que vous pensez, mais regardez, il y a quelqu’un qui vient apr\u00e8s moi et dont je ne m\u00e9rite pas de d\u00e9nouer les sandales\u00bb (Jn 1, 27).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jean-Baptiste parlait au nom de Dieu, mais pr\u00e9cisait que la lumi\u00e8re qui brille c\u2019est J\u00e9sus, pas lui, et que cette lumi\u00e8re du Christ brille seule. De ce point de vue, Jean Baptiste enl\u00e8ve tout malentendu qui r\u00e9gnait au sein de la communaut\u00e9 ou le peuple le tenait pour le proph\u00e8te d\u00e9finitif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cela lui a valu l’admiration de J\u00e9sus qui dira : \u00ab En v\u00e9rit\u00e9, je vous le dis : parmi ceux qui sont n\u00e9s de femme, nul n’est plus grand que Jean-Baptiste (Mt 11,11). La fa\u00e7on dont J\u00e9sus parle de Jean-Baptiste montre son exaltation pour cet homme qui, le premier, a forc\u00e9 les portes du Royaume. Il aime sa franchise et sa duret\u00e9 et va jusqu’\u00e0 le comparer \u00e0 Elie. \u00abEt si vous voulez l\u2019entendre : lui-m\u00eame est \u00c9lie qui doit venir\u00bb (Mt 11, 14). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Que dire \u00e0 nous, missionnaires? Souvent, dans nos communaut\u00e9s, nous sommes des missionnaires courageux, bons, tr\u00e8s actifs et tr\u00e8s aim\u00e9s des chr\u00e9tiens. Quand nous sommes l\u00e0, la paroisse ou la communaut\u00e9 est toujours pleine de monde. Mais quand on nous mute ailleurs, la paroisse ou la communaut\u00e9 reste vide. Il y a lieu de nous interroger: qu’est-ce qui peut justifier cela? Que recherchent ces gens-l\u00e0 qui viennent \u00e0 nous? Pourquoi viennent-ils chez nous? Que leur disons-nous? Quelle est notre attitude?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je pense que nous devons apprendre de Jean-Baptiste. Comme lui, nous sommes appel\u00e9s \u00e0 nous rabaisser pour que J\u00e9sus grandisse. Nous devons servir de pont pour atteindre J\u00e9sus et non d’obstacles. Notre mission est de faciliter la rencontre avec le Seigneur. Nous devons dire au peuple, comme le dit Jean-Baptiste: \u00abvoici l’agneau de Dieu\u00bb <\/strong>(Jn 1, 29). C’est Lui que nous sommes appel\u00e9s \u00e0 faire conna\u00eetre. Ainsi, m\u00eame si nous changeons de paroisse ou de communaut\u00e9, les gens resteront l\u00e0 pour J\u00e9sus. Nous nous changeons de communaut\u00e9, mais J\u00e9sus ne change jamais.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Que saint Jean-Baptiste nous serve d’exemple et que son humilit\u00e9 et sa franchise nous caract\u00e9risent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
