1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:06,960
Prayer of the heart. Thursday we
say this week of ordinary time. Come

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:13,039
Holy Spirit so that I may find
wisdom in the midst of my limits,

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,320
discomfort and weariness, for the sun
that sets is as beautiful when I am

4
00:00:17,879 --> 00:00:22,160
healthy as when I am sick.
Help me to appreciate the beauty of things

5
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:26,960
beyond my moods. Help me enjoy
what you give me in the middle of

6
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,879
my troubles. Come Holy Spirit,
teach me to live, because many times

7
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,679
I can only look at what worries
me, what I lack, what I

8
00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:41,840
dislike, as if there was nothing
more than that. Today we are happy

9
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:47,439
to close the Solemnity of Santiago,
the Chief Apostle of Spain. The Gospel

10
00:00:47,719 --> 00:00:55,399
kills twenty verses twenty to twenty-
eight. At that time he approached Jesus,

11
00:00:55,759 --> 00:00:59,119
the mother of the cebedians, with
his sons, and fell down to

12
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,959
make a petition, and he asked
what you would like. She answered and

13
00:01:06,079 --> 00:01:08,480
ordered that these two sons of mine
sit in your kingdom, one on your

14
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:14,079
right and the other on your left. But Jesus replied,“ You do

15
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,439
not know what you ask. He' s not able to see the chalice

16
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:22,159
I should see. They answered what
we are, he said and Chalice you

17
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,840
will drink it, but the post
to my right or to my left does

18
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,239
not touch me. Granting it is
for those who have it on Saturday.

19
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:34,400
To my father and the ten others
who had heard him, they came against

20
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:40,680
two brothers, but Jesus rum told
them you know that the leaders of the

21
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:44,599
peoples are tyrannizing them and that the
great are oppressing them. It will not

22
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,480
be like this among you, who
wants to be great, among you,

23
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,079
who is your servant and who wants
to be first, among you, who

24
00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:57,920
is your slave, like the son
of man, has not come to serve

25
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,480
him, but to serve and give
his life as a ransom for all,

26
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,159
for many, Pope Francis rightly said. There is the danger of not understanding

27
00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:15,000
the truth, the true vision,
the mission of the Lord. This happens

28
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:21,280
when he takes advantage of Jesus by
weighing on power. This attitude is repeated

29
00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:27,039
in the Gospels. Many follow Jesus
out of interest, even among his apostles,

30
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,599
the sons of cebedee who is to
be one Prime Minister and the other.

31
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,919
Let' s say Minister of Economy
wanted in power that grace to bring

32
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,680
good news to the poor, the
freedom of the captives and the sight of

33
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:43,000
the blind, the freedom of the
oppressed, and proclaim a year of grace.

34
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,360
It gets dark, it gets lost, and it becomes wanting something,

35
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:53,840
wanting some power. There was always
that temptation of power and hypocrisy, of

36
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:58,759
passing from a religious stupor that Jesus
is not when he does not find himself

37
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:04,479
wanting to pull out once personal.
This was also the devil' s proposal

38
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,199
to Jesus. In temptations, one
of bread, the other of spectacle.

39
00:03:10,599 --> 00:03:15,360
Let' s do a great show. So all people, all people who

40
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:22,560
see that they will believe in YOU
and the third, apostasy, that is,

41
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:30,319
idol worship. And this is a
daily temptation of our Christians of all

42
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:36,319
those who are of the Church,
the temptation not of power, of power,

43
00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:44,520
of spirit, but the temptation of
worldly power. They did not understand

44
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:49,199
the ordinary way in which Christ began
the preparation of God’ s Kingdom.

45
00:03:49,919 --> 00:03:53,520
Perhaps they too, like the other
disciples, imagined that sooner or later,

46
00:03:54,120 --> 00:04:00,599
Christ would claim power over men and
then administer it in that infinite wisdom and

47
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,719
compassion that he demonstrated with the many
kings and religions the many regions of Israel.

48
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,960
But once again, after the rare
intercession of the mother of the sons

49
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,879
of Acebereus, Jesus speaks of a
cup to drink yes, the one who

50
00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:21,480
has created the universe has assumed the
nature of his own creatures to want to

51
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:26,560
serve them and save them by humiliating
them until the death of the cross.

52
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,560
And, in the same way,
whoever chooses to follow the teacher' s

53
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,360
footsteps will have to learn to serve, to let the power of the world

54
00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:40,839
measure it and despise it. Whoever
truly wants to drink the Cup of Christ,

55
00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:46,639
accompany him to bear the cross of
pain or of the world or of

56
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,399
this world and to bear the sufferings
of his brothers, must know what it

57
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:58,399
really means to suffer and serve generously. We' re ready to do our

58
00:04:58,399 --> 00:05:03,120
part, too. We believe in
God' s sincere supplication before we face

59
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:10,199
a small, great cross. It
serves with joy and love, especially those

60
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:16,240
who need your attention the most It
is the preference of so many pilgrims to

61
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:24,959
help you to be strong and reach
the goal. Says thus, Most Holy

62
00:05:24,959 --> 00:05:30,560
James, light of Europe, star, graceful, draw us along the path

63
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,920
of truth, Most Holy James,
you who leave everything to follow the master.

64
00:05:35,879 --> 00:05:42,279
Unleashing the bonds that keep us away
from their paths, Blessed James,

65
00:05:42,759 --> 00:05:48,560
ardent missionary, makes your pilgrims and
protect us from the dangers of the road.

66
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:58,000
Most Holy James, First Apostle Martyr
give us boldness and strength to go

67
00:05:58,079 --> 00:06:03,439
ever further to announce that Jesus is
alive beyond. You know that it is

68
00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:10,720
greeting this word among pilgrims of the
Way of Saint James of Latin ultra beyond

69
00:06:10,959 --> 00:06:17,240
and it means moving beyond, moving
forward. Today it is also used a

70
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:24,120
good way. Lord my vocation as
disciple and apostle is a vocation in service.

71
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,600
Help me to pray, to speak, to sacrifice myself so that you

72
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,199
may be loved more. Give me
your grace so that I may be characterized

73
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:40,759
by the denied and effective service of
one' s neighbor, live in fullness,

74
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,040
in depth, making sure that all
my works are characterized by generous service.

75
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,240
I gave you the blessing, may
the goodness and mercy of God,

76
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,839
Father, give you the heart that
makes me of the love of God,

77
00:06:51,959 --> 00:06:57,000
son, enter into your soul and
purify you from any uneasiness and lack that

78
00:06:57,079 --> 00:07:00,399
can prepare you from God, may
the love of God the Holy Spirit grant

79
00:07:00,439 --> 00:07:04,560
you the peace you need and may
the tenderness of Mary, mother of God

80
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,920
and our mother caress and protect you, and the strength and simplicity of Saint

81
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,079
Joseph, our father, Lord Thee, lead to heaven and the blessing of

82
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,519
God, father, son and holy
spirit descend upon you and accompany you always amen
