Prayer of heart. Friday of the fourth week of Lenten Holy Spirit. I
believe in you I hope in you and I love you only you deserve adoption,
human heart worship. And before You alone I must bow down only you
are the glorious lord with a beauty you cannot even imagine. Therefore, sir,
do not allow me to worship anything as if I were a God,
because no being or anything in this world is worth so much and I recognize
you as master of my life. Don' t let him lose serenity and
joy for things that aren' t worth that much. Today we celebrate ah
San Raimundo de Fitero, abbot of the monastic cystencense of Fitero in Navarre and
founder of the military order of Calatrava, El evagelio de San Juan, chapter
seven verses, one from now on. At that time Jesus went through Galilee,
for he did not want to go in for walking in Judea, because
the Jews were trying to kill him. The Jewish Festival of Shops approached.
Once his brothers had left for the party. Then he also went up,
not openly, but secretly. Then some would like to Jerusalem said this is
not the one they are trying to kill, for look how he speaks openly
and they say nothing to him. Maybe the bosses have convinced that this is
the messiah, but this one you know where it comes from. While messiah,
when he arrives, no one will know. No one will know where
it comes from. Then, Jesus, while teaching in the temple of cry,
you know me and know where I come from. However, I do
not come on my own, but the real one is the one who sends
me to that You do not know him. I know him because I come
from him and he sent me. Then they tried to grab him, but
no one could shake hands with him because his vala had not yet arrived.
Oh, my God, help me find you in this meditation. I need
your mercy, give me your grace, so I can put aside everything that
can distract me. I really want to come to contemplate you and recognize you,
even if it is not worthy of it. Jesus Give me, the
gift of knowing you more and more every day and loving you so much more.
The passage from the Gospel that we are now minting presents us with a
scene set in the temple of Jerusalem. At the end of the Jewish store
party. After Jesus will proclaim a great prophecy revealing himself as a source of
living water, that is, the holy spirit, then the people, very
impressed, resumed by arguing about him. People are also arguing about him today.
Some are excited and say that it is true, that it is truly
the prophet. Some even claim that this is the messiah, but others oppose
it because they say the messiah comes from Galiente, but from the strip of
David of Bethlehem. Thus, without knowing it, they confirm precisely the identity
of Jesus. The chief priests had sent the guards to remove it, but
they return empty- handed and say there has never been anyone like this man.
And here is the voice of truth that echoes never forgiveness. No one
has spoken like this man and here the voice of truth that resonates in those
moments and in those simple men. Mr Yesterday' s word, like today,
always causes division. The word divides, always causes a division between those
who accept it and those who reject it. Sometimes an inner contrast is lit
in our heart as well. This happens when we notice the fascination, beauty
and truth of Jesus' words, but at the same time we reject them
because they question us, put us in difficulty and find it too difficult to
observe them. The Jews have never killed him, Jesus says, it is
the prototype of the righteous who are uncomfortable and whose testimony is meant to be
silenced. However, all the accusations they make to him are viscerals born of
hatred. For example, they say they know where Jesus the Messiah comes from.
Instead, no, therefore, Jesus is not the Messiah, because they
know where Jesus comes from. Other times they think he' s demonic.
Others criticize him because above the day he gives more preference to the lives of
his people, because the Pharisees seek to discredit him and flee so that they
do not have to accept his testimony. However, Jesus courageously shouts out his
identity. I do not come on my own, but sent by him who
is truthful to him You do not know him. I know him because I
come from him and he has sent me, but his hour has not yet
come, the hour of the cross where the Pharisees will then begin to believe
more in him and, while they will strive or strive to complete his teachings,
they will realize that Jesus is indeed the Messiah. Also in today'
s world, along with many others who believe and accept Christ, there are
many others who have chosen to ignore him and even pursue his whole idea.
That is why his followers are equally lucky in a society that is losing fundamental
values such as respect for life, charity, forgiveness, modesty, modesty,
Holy purity. We should be led to struggle and work to extend the Kingdom
of Christ and did not just go out to mourn the situation. We are
the ones who will change people’ s hearts with our Christian testimonies. And
if we change people' s hearts with God' s grace, we will
change society. But first let us change our hearts to love God more And
thus we will begin on the right path to change our surroundings, so that
it may support us around the Christian life. We may not be physically persecuted,
but we may be discredited and criticized for seeking the coherence of life with
our faith or because you are right in your work, or because you have
a large family, or because you don' t criticize anyone, or simply
because you are always happy. Let us not be afraid to be faithful to
Christ by him. If he' s with us, who' s against
us. Your two testimonies of c you give forgiveness he testified to the eph
with your conduct. Maybe it' s not so complicated, because it'
s not about you previcting much less correcting everyone as if you were a possessor
of the truth. It is enough simply that we know how to do what
you must and to be in what you do, as you say St Joseph
Mary or if you want you to look to the Lord every day for what
you do and for that and that what he does is an act of love,
I am convinced that we live by and for sea Ana. Or nothing
is worth it and you love serving. Even if you can no longer fear
tiredness, you will see that the act of service that is done, despite
total tiredness, is worth much more than any other parent. My Lord,
being able to know Jesus in Jesus and to communicate with you through the Holy
Spirit is a grace that I have not been able to avail myself of my
freedom allows this prayer to lead me to the experience of your love and that
this experience determines my life, my behavior, the way in which I relate
to others, that my lilbilities do not prevent you, that I can give
you to others, that your word penetrates in my heart and faithfully transmits it
to all the people that you put in my way and your blessing, that
the goodness and mercy of God, Father fill you in the heart, that
the gaze of the love of God, son, penetrates into your soul and
purifies you from any restlessness and lack that can separate you from God, that
the love of God the Holy Spirit, grant you the life you need,
that the tenderness of Mary, mother of God and our mother, caress you
and protects you and that the strength and senciples of St Joseph and our father,
Lord, lead you to heaven and the blessing of God, father,
son and Holy Spirit will always feel upon you and perpetiate you
