"Cristo, a Esperança que não desilude"

"SAM: I know. It's all wrong. By rights, we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end.....because how could the end be happy? How could the world go backto the way it was...... when so much bad had happened?

But in the end, it's only a passing thing...... this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the storiesthat stayed with you......that meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now.

Folk in those stories......had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going......because they were holding on to something.

FRODO: What are we holding on to, Sam?

SAM: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for."


Even darkness must pass... esta foram as primeira palavra que me vieram a cabeça quando sairam as primeiras projecções do resultados do referendo. Até a escuridão tem que passar. Esta é a minha certeza. Não por ser um optimista ou um utópico, mas porque tenho a certeza, tal como diz Samwise no livro O Senhor dos Anéis: "Above all shadows rise the sun".
.
A vitória do Sim não está certa e não conseguimos perceber como é que daqui nascerá algum bem. Resta-nos a certeza de que a última palavra não é do mundo, mas de Cristo ressucitado, que brilha acima de todas as sombras.
