1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:05,719
By choice of heart. Wednesday,
in the third week of Easter, Oh,

2
00:00:05,879 --> 00:00:11,240
Holy Spirit, Love of Father and
Son, inspire me what I must

3
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:17,280
think, how I must say it, what I must silence, how I

4
00:00:18,359 --> 00:00:20,440
must act, what I must do. For the Glory of God and among

5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:26,199
souls and my own sanctification, Holy
Spirit Give me, Able to understand,

6
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,399
ability, to retain, method and
faculty to learn, subtlety to interpret,

7
00:00:32,039 --> 00:00:35,359
grace and efficacy to speak. Give
me right, at the beginning, direction,

8
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,320
as I progress and perfect, finish
amen. Today we celebrate Pope Saint

9
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:48,119
Anicetus, the twelfth successor of Saint
Peter, the Gospel is chapter six verses,

10
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,920
thirty- five forty. San Juan. At that time, Jesus said

11
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,359
the crowd. I am the bread
of life, the one who comes to

12
00:00:56,439 --> 00:00:59,600
me hunger and the one who believes
in me will never be. But as

13
00:00:59,679 --> 00:01:03,159
it was said, you have seen
me and you do not believe all that

14
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,439
the father gives me will come to
me and whoever comes to me will not

15
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,280
cast him out because I have come
down from heaven, not to do my

16
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,040
will, but the will of him
who sent me. This is the will

17
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,200
of the one who sent me,
that I lose nothing of what I give

18
00:01:15,239 --> 00:01:18,319
myself, but that I resurrect it
on the last day. It is the

19
00:01:18,359 --> 00:01:21,959
will of the father, that everyone
who sees the son and wants in him

20
00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:26,599
should have eternal life, and I
mourn on the last day the opposite.

21
00:01:29,159 --> 00:01:37,799
The opposite of fulfilling God' s
will. The opposite. It began in

22
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,000
paradise with non- obedience to cedar
and Eve, and that disobedience has brought

23
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:48,480
evil to all mankind. Sins are
also acts of disobedience to God to do

24
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:53,959
his will. However, the Lord
teaches you and I did the will of

25
00:01:53,959 --> 00:02:00,280
God. It is the way and
there is no other, and it begins

26
00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:05,879
with Jesus and in heaven in the
will to obey the Father. But I

27
00:02:05,879 --> 00:02:07,759
did God' s will. It
is not easy and it was not easy

28
00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:12,520
for Jesus, who was tempted by
the wilderness and the garden of the origans.

29
00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:16,360
Nor was it for some disciples who
left him because they did not understand

30
00:02:16,439 --> 00:02:21,520
what it meant to do the Father’ s will. And it' s

31
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,080
not easy for us either, from
the moment every day he introduced us on

32
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:30,960
a tray in many options. And
so how do I do to do the

33
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,199
will of God, asking the grace
of wanting to do so that Lord give

34
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,840
us all the grace that one day
can say to us what he has said

35
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:46,960
of that group, of that,
of that crowd that followed him those who

36
00:02:47,039 --> 00:02:51,639
were sitting around him, as we
have heard in the Gospel, And so

37
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,560
doing the will of God makes us
part of the family of Jesus. He

38
00:02:54,599 --> 00:03:00,800
makes us mother, father, sister, brother in Jesus, in his flesh,

39
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,159
that is, in his most holy
humanity, is present all the love

40
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:08,400
of God, which is the Holy
Spirit. Those who let themselves be attracted

41
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,479
by that love go to Jesus and
go with faith and receive in him life,

42
00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:21,520
eternal life. The one who has
experienced this experience in an exemplary way

43
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,000
is Mary Most Holy, the first
human person who has believed in God.

44
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,560
Welcoming the carra of Jesus, let
us learn from it our mother, joy

45
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:32,159
and gratitude for the gift of Faith, a gift that is not private,

46
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:38,919
a gift that is not private property, but a gift to share. It

47
00:03:38,039 --> 00:03:42,319
' s a gift for the life
of the world. Anyone who sees the

48
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,039
son of God and believes in him, that is, whoever recognizes him and

49
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:51,520
welcomes him through the Faith will have
eternal life and will rise on the last

50
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,000
day. Faith is a gift from
God that enables us to feel the truths

51
00:03:55,039 --> 00:03:59,599
that are severed by God. It
is not something that is accomplished by a

52
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:05,879
human effort, but our collaboration with
God is necessary. God wanted to feel

53
00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:18,480
need for us by means, I
to say, in a human way.

54
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:24,319
Or there are Christians who are like
those round ridges of rivers that may have

55
00:04:24,399 --> 00:04:28,000
been in the water that breaks for
years, but they break and their insides

56
00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:33,839
are completely dry. The fault is
not that the Christian forgiveness, in that

57
00:04:33,879 --> 00:04:38,959
Christianity, but in those hearts that
are like that of the Jews of the

58
00:04:38,959 --> 00:04:44,079
Gospel have seen, but have not
believed anything. We must value as much

59
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,040
as that plow of faith. By
defending faith, even life is given,

60
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,240
as has happened so many times over
the centuries, but let us not feel

61
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:57,560
alone. Christ awaits us with open
reasons because he walks towards him by faith

62
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,160
He has never been rejected. We
ask what relationship the Eucharist has with our

63
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:08,360
lives. There are some concrete indicators
that help us in this regard. If

64
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:14,600
we live the Eucharist, one indicator
is how we relate to others. Jesus

65
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,360
likes to barter with people sharing their
longings, problems, and worries. At

66
00:05:19,399 --> 00:05:24,839
Holy Mass we meet many people,
but we see them in virtue as brothers

67
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:30,079
and sisters. Christian leads us to
meet the poor, the sick, the

68
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,720
marginalized. They lived seeing in them
the face of Jesus. Or rather,

69
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:42,040
when we go out to Mass,
we criticize each other rather than how we

70
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,680
dress this, of that. A
second indicator is to feel forgiven and moved

71
00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:51,600
to forgive. Who celebrates or participates. The Eucharist doesn' t do it

72
00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:58,240
because it' s better than the
others. We are all sinners and if

73
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,240
one feels sinful, it is better
that one does not go to Mass,

74
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,160
because the first act that we do
when I stretch in Mass, that is,

75
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:10,120
confess forgiveness. If one does not
feel sinful, does not feel sinful,

76
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,560
it is better that he does not
go to Mass, because the first

77
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,360
act we do when we enter Mass, that is, I confess that I

78
00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:19,759
am a sinner and ask forgiveness for
sins. If you don' t feel

79
00:06:19,879 --> 00:06:23,680
it, you won' t live
well. The occharistia. And one last

80
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,839
indicator is the coherence between the liturgy
and the life of our communities. Christia

81
00:06:27,959 --> 00:06:31,439
is not a mere memory of some
of Jesus' sayings. It is the

82
00:06:31,519 --> 00:06:36,680
work and gift of Christ present there
that comes to meet us and nourishes us

83
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:43,439
with his word and with his life. Pride, spiritual laziness, or fear

84
00:06:43,519 --> 00:06:50,560
are obstacles I need to overcome.
But I often forget that only your grace

85
00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:57,240
can bring about that transformation of my
selfishness and pride into amorati and others.

86
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:03,279
Never let me part from the source
of that grace. The Eucharist to receive

87
00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:10,360
better. Ucharistia never becomes a routine
act. Today and always prepare for the

88
00:07:10,399 --> 00:07:14,000
best possible, to receive it and
to thank God for his infinite love.

89
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:19,360
I give you the blessing that God
accompanies you is in your heart. Take

90
00:07:19,399 --> 00:07:24,560
care of you, make you strong
and faithful that God, son, will

91
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,040
make you feel his wart and mercy. Take your heart off. Any restlessness

92
00:07:28,079 --> 00:07:32,000
that can make you suffer that with
the Holy Spirit you delude intelligence or strength

93
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:38,160
in the heart renewed spirit and determination
to love with all the heart that Mary

94
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,240
Most Holy, make you in you
her warmth as a mother and her loving

95
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,160
and tender embrace and leave tepicuide with
her heart as a father. In the

96
00:07:44,199 --> 00:07:47,319
name of the father and of the
son and of the Holy Spirit Amen
