Prayer of the heart. Saturday of the third week of Lent come Holy Spirit,
without you there is no life worth living. Therefore, from my doubts,
fears, tiredness and weaknesses, I want to invoke you, come Holy
Spirit to water it that is dry Come to strengthen what is weak come to
heal what is sick. Amen, today we celebrate St Ines of Prague and
are A San or Legoria Olegario, the Gospel of St Luke, chapter fifteen
verses, one from now on. At that time they used to approach Jesus,
all the publicans and sinners to listen to him, and the Pharisees and
scribes murmured among themselves. He welcomes sinners and eats with them. Jesus told
him this parable. A man had two children under him, he told his
father, Father Give me the share of my fortune and the father gave him
the goods. Not many days later, the youngest son, gathering all his
own, emigrated to a distant country and there wasted his fortune living lost.
When he had spent it all he came through that land a terrible famine and
began to need it. It was then, and so he insisted on a
resident of that country who sent him to his fields to guard. Pigs were
in the mood to satiate themselves from the grabs that the pigs ate and no
one fed him by reconsidering. Then it was said how many of my father
' s laborers have the abundance of bread. As I starved here, will
I go where my father is and tell him father I have sinned against heaven
and against you no longer deserve to call me son, yours? Treat me
like one of your day laborers. He set a path to where his father
was when he was still far away. His father saw him and he was
moved and running, and he put his neck around him and kissed him and
his son told him father," Have I sinned against heaven and against you
no longer deserve to call me son, yours?" But the father told
his servants straight away to bring out the best suit and dress it, put
a ring in his hand and holy them on their feet, bring the fattened
calf and kill it let' s have a feast, because this son of
mine was dead and revived, was lost and we found him and started the
banquet. His eldest son was in the field. When he returned to the
house, he heard the music and the dance and called one of the young
men, and asked him what was going on. This one answered him.
Your brother has returned and your father has killed the fattened earth because he has
recovered it with his light. He was indignant and refused to enter, but
his father went out and tried to persuade him and he replied to his father
Mira. In as many years as I serve you without disobeying I never ordered
you to me you have never given me a kid to have a banquet with
my friends. And when he has come to this son, yours who has
eaten your goods with evil women, you kill the fatted earthling. The father
told him, son, you' re always with me and all mine is
yours You should be glad that this brother of yours was dead and revived.
He was lost and we found him. Lord, how great is your Mass,
your love and your mercy. I identify with these two children of the
Gospel who do not know how to receive and correspond to your love. Lead
this prayer so that my heart will not harden and become fond of inspirations Seño
and my gall to always trust me in your great mercy, but do not
allow me to abuse so much love. Then it is written that the Lord
is compassionate in the sense that grace grants us. He has compassion and in
his greatness he leans over those who are weak and poor, because ready to
take, as understanding and forgiving is like the father of the word of the
Gospel of St Luke, a father who does not close in resentment for the
abandonment of the youngest son, but, on the contrary, continues to wait
for him has generated it and then runs to his encounter in the embrace.
He won' t even let him finish his confession as if he had covered
his mouth. How great is the love and joy for finding it again.
And he also goes to the eldest son, who is indignant and does not
want to party, the son who has always stayed at home, but living
as a servant rather than as a son, and also on the father,
he leans, invites him to enter, seeks to open his heart to love
so that no one remains is excluded club. It' s from the feast
of mercy. Mercy is a feast of this merciful God. It is also
said that he is slow to anger literally long in his breath, that is,
with the broad breath of patience and the ability to endure. God knows
how to wait for his times are not those impatient of men. He'
s like a wise farmer who can wait. Leave time for the good seed
to grow in spite of the ciudadania. Knowing that we are children of God,
we think that we deserve everything, sometimes we are neither able to thank
our creator for the great gift of life, let alone strive to correspond to
his infinite love. How much we have received from God everything, however,
we see it as an obligation on his part. We could come to complain
when we don' t get what we want and maybe we' ve even
gotten to the point of demanding it. God in His infinite goodness does not
cease to fill us with His graces and even fulfills other whims, no matter
whether we thank Him or not. The most beautiful thing is to see that
God does not tire even as far as we distance ourselves from him and when
we wish to return, there he is with open arms, waiting for us
with a heart full of love. God is the shepherd who rejoices at finding
lost bee. He is the merciful father who awaits his lost son with great
eagerness, forgives him for any fault when he sees true repentance and fills him
with his love. Let' s say Christ, sir, you know everything.
You know I love you. My Lord, how easily I can deceive
myself, to follow the easy path that life offers me and to be a
blind and deaf and different from the needs of others to concentrate only on my
own happiness. Give me sh give me your grace, to know, always
keep me by your side that I do not stray from your grace, for
then my heart will become rock, insensitive to receive and to correspond to your
love freely. I want to depend always and on everything on you I give
you the blessing God almighty. Bless with all manner of heavenly goods that you
may be holy and blameless in His presence, pour out upon you the riches
of His grace, or instruct with the word of truth and the gospel of
salvation, and enrich you with the fraternal charity and blessing of God almighty father,
son, and holy spirit, come down upon us, and abide always Amen.
