Prayer of the heart Saturday of the fourth week of Easter. Oh, Holy
Spirit, Love of Father and Son, Always inspire me what I must think,
as I must, what I must say, as I must say,
what I must silence, as I must act, what I must do for
the Glory of God, well of Souls and my own Sanctification. Holy Spirit
Give me, sharpness to understand, ability, to retain, method and faculty,
to learn its use, to interpret, grace, effectiveness, to speak,
Give me right, at the beginning of direction, to take advantage and
perfect to finish Me. Today we celebrate the Mare de Deus de Montserrat,
the Black Virgin, Patroness of Catalonia, The Gospel of Saint John, chapter
fourteen verses seven to fourteen at that time, said his disciples. If you
know me, you will condemn me, my father. Now you know him
and what you' ve seen. Philip tells him, Mr Show us,
to the father, and that' s enough for us. That answers him
so long that I am with you and you do not know me Philip,
who has seen me you see the father. How you say you show the
father you don' t think I' m in the father and my father.
What I say to you, I speak of it on my own behalf
by the father who stands in me himself in the works. Believe me,
I' m in the father and my father. If you do not believe,
I assure you, he who believes in me will also do the works
that I do and even greater, for I am going to the father and
whatever you ask in my name I will give to you so that the father
may be purified in the son. If you ask me for my name,
I' ll do it, Mr Show us, the father and that'
s enough for us. Philip' s desire to know the father is transmitted
over the centuries to many Christians who want to see the face of God know
him and call him I sound powerful. He has painted himself in man.
It is made known in very different ways so that we man can know him,
treat him to speak with him, call him the word of God,
become mortified of me by his pracamentos, by the mention of his word,
etcetera. We are children of God and we abide, we attend to his
word, we have fallen in love with his word, but this is truth
and freedom. His kingdom is the inheritance of following this path of prayer is
the way of saying certain holiness. Our life must be a loving dialogue with
God, a presence of God with you. The saints have strongly recommended that
we give vital importance to that time dedicated to dealing more intimately. Goodbye our
lord to the point that, for example, Saint Joseph Mary came to affirm
Holy without prayer. I do not believe in that holiness, it is necessary
to pray at all times not to die. Therefore watch all times and weep
are the words of the Lord. It is he himself who gives you Joseja
the prayer. The example of Christ the King Grado, occurred in those days
when he went out of woe to the mountain to pray and spent the night
working to God. After the Lord' s salvation he curled the twelve apostles
in the morning, much more than Dawn rose and went out and went to
a desert place and prayed there. But he tells you about these different ones.
But he withdrew to places of solidarity and was in prayer Luke five,
sixteen, the prayer of Christon Worltor the olive trees. When he had arrived
there, he said, pray not to fall temptation, and turned away from
them with a stone' s throw and kneeling down. I used to hang
out once I fired him. It refers to Muchedumbre, he went up to
a mountain of shelter and there, when night came, he was there alone.
And also the example of the early Christians were assiduous to the teaching of
the apostles in Communion and the affasion of the PAN and in prayer. The
end is exercised in prayer. Especially is the time especially dedicated to prayer.
Prayer deals with God. We speak to him with that assurance that he always
listens to us, he is attentive to ours, and with prayer he rises
from mind to heaven. It is an encouragement to think about heavenly things.
The soul is oriented toward God and is kindled with love and attracted to God.
That prayer leads us to righteousness and intention and underpins all supernatural work.
Without prayer, holiness is not possible and if we neglect it, everything falls
apart. Look Well, the gentleman comes to talk to us face to face,
with the intimacy of the friend who doesn' t want to separate from
his friend and who cares about our things. In contrast so impressive God all
dross power hanging on to us, that we are limited stillnesses. Happiness adds
attentiveness to us fallen alleza. Infinite love remains with me, poor person.
We' re so clumsy. We forget about the Lord I read On one
occasion, if you leave your prayer for a few days you notice it,
you will feel that you are not so strong inside you lack something. If
you leave her any more, the people in your house will vote for her.
If she leaves in a long time, they' ll all kill her.
And, worse, the atmosphere of the street will begin to power over
you and St Germaria writes a groove without abandoning prayer. First comes from spiritual
grances and after the trap, the Christian needs to be contemplative soul and contemplative.
It is his prayer, a continuous effort to make our life a life
of worship. In short, relationship is dialogue with the Lord and with this,
when our data of mental ration is translated, a conversation of lovers in
which there can be no room for the sluggishness or for the times of dollarizations,
a conversation that is boarded with impatience to the one who goes to the
cossacude with hungers to know better Jesus and to treat him a talk that develops
with delicacy of soul in love and that concludes with renewed desires to live and
work alone for the Lord Thus the anxiety of prayer was refuted San Juan Perro
II. Prayer gives strength to the great ideals, to maintain faith, charity,
purity of generosity, prayer of encouragement to emerge from indifference and guilt if,
unfortunately, it has yielded to temptation and weakness prayers, it gives light
to see and judge the events of one' s life and history itself,
the perfection of God and eternity. Don' t let them cry, don
' t spend a day without wanting hours, a little relationship. It is
a duty, but it is also a great joy, because it is dialogue
with God through Jesus Christ. We must have a time well determined to do
prayer, meditation, fixed time and now ciija, says St Joseph Mary,
if it will not adapt to our comfort, and that is a lack of
mortification. In prayer, without mortifying very much pressure it is ineffective to avoid
distractions. We must use all the resources available to us. Very often it
will be to unsave a book that suggests some considerations. Thus was expressed,
for example, the cure of ars In this regard. We hardly realize that
our spirit is distracted. It is necessary to stand before God again, humble
ourselves before the divine Majesty and never leave prayer because we do not experience the
pleasure of praying. On the contrary, we must think that the more heaviness
we feel, the more meritorious. It was giving us arms in the eyes
of God if we persevere in it always with the intention of pleasing it tells
a story the father added the priest of which on one occasion, a Saint
told another saint to what it will be? Because as long as we pray
the spirits full of a thousand other people' s thoughts, which may not
come to us if we were not busy in prayer and the other answered.
This is not strange, my friend, above all, the devil foresees the
abundant graces that we can attain by prayer and, therefore, despair of winning
a person who prays properly the greater the fervor with which we do, the
more we excite his anger with regret the prayer and put ourselves in the presence
of them some vocal prayer. It has the importance of concentrating our mind for
the terror of the Lord leaving aside any other thought, as he said before
Jesus prayers, to draw from things of friendship with him that we know loves
us. Prayer gives strength to ideal works to maintain faith, charity, purity,
generosity and helps us to contemplate the most holy humanity of Jesus Christ,
because it is the way to come to treatment. With the very high trides
we finish the prayer. They came to St Mary, teacher terration that Joseph,
our father, our life, teacher of inner life. No one treated
Jesus more sincerely I would call you. I give the blessing that the goodness
and mercy of God, Father, fill you in the heart, that the
gaze of love of God, Son, hold in your soul and purify you
from any uneasiness and lack that can separate you from God, that the love
of God, Holy Spirit, grant you the peace that you need, that
the tenderness of Mary, Mother of God and Mother of us caresses and protects
you and that the strength and light of Saint Joseph is not a father.
The Lord lead you to heaven and the veneration of God, your father,
son and holy spirit, come down upon you and accompany you always amen
