Prayer of the heart. Monday of the fourth week of Lent holy spirit.
I believe in you or I hope in you I love you, Lord You,
you deserve the worship of the human heart and you are deaf. Before
you I must prostrate myself alone You are the glorious lord with a beauty you
cannot even imagine. Therefore, Lord You, do not allow me to worship
anything as if I were a god, because no being and nothing in this
world is worth so much. I recognize you as master, lord of life,
lord of my life. Don' t let her lose her headship and
joy for things that aren' t worth that much. I repeat, do
not allow me to lose serenity and joy for things that are not worth so
much. Today we celebrate Saint Urea of St Millan, the Lower of St
John, chapter four verses forty- three to fifty- four. At that
time Jesus went out of Samaria into Galilee. Jesus himself had witnessed a prophet,
esteemed us in his homeland. When he arrived in Galilee, the Galidians
received him well because they had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem during
the feast, for they too had gone to the feast. It was Jesus
again to Canada and Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine.
There was a royal official who had a sick son in Capernaum. Hearing that
Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to see him and asked
them to come down to heal his son like this one who was dying.
Jesus told him if you do not see signs and wonders, do not believe
the official insists, sir, that my son, Jesus, dies, answers
go your son lives. The man fell into the word of Jesus and laid
down a way. I was just coming down. When his servants came to
urs I found him telling him that his son lived, you are asked at
what time I' m going to start to get better and they answered him.
Yesterday at hor a 7th He left him the fever the father who gave
the account that that was the time when Jesus had told him. Your son
lives and believed in him He told his family. This second sign was made
by Jesus upon his coming from Judea to Galilee. You believe that God does
not listen to us if we pray insistently. The expression of Jesus is very
strong and God will not do justice to his elect who cry to him day
and night, even though they may not keep them waiting and shouting day and
night toward God. We are touched by this image of prayer, but let
us ask ourselves why God wants this. He doesn' t know our needs
anymore, what' s the point. I will insist with God. This
is a good question that makes us delve into a very important aspect of faith.
God invites us to pray insistently, not because he does not know what
we need or because he does not listen to us. On the contrary,
he always listens and knows everything about us on our way is everyday, especially
the difficulties in the fight against evil outside and within us. Sir' s
not far. He' s right next to us. We fight with him
next door and our weapon is precisely the prayer that makes us feel his presence
with us, his mercy and also his help. For the time being,
Jesus is well received in Galilee, although he is already aware that a prophet
is not esteemed. In his poor homeland. In Cana, where he had
performed the first miracle of the water turned into wine, he makes another sign
healing the son of the royal official of Caffarnoun and at this moment again appears
a foreigner with greater faith than the Jews, for the Gospel tells us that
man believed in the words of Jesus and set himself on the way. Jesus
' march toward death and resurrection is sown with facts in which he communicates to
all others health, life joy. It is God who will make this coming
Passover a true spring for us by incorporating us to his son, for he
who is in Christ is a new creation. Everybody' s been through the
old stuff. Then, Jesus wants to restore our health as the son the
royal official and wants to free us from all slavery and sadness, to forgive
us all our faults. If we have faith, if we really want it
to heal you, we must approach confidently so that it fills us with His
grace. For this reason, every time we prepare to receive her the locoristia,
we say a brief prayer that makes us humbler. Sir, I am
not worthy to stay in my house, but one word of yours is enough
to heal me. Sir, your son' s illness motivated the official to
seek and believe in You. I want to mature and grow in my love
for You so that I will not only seek you in need, in loneliness
or in suffering. With your grace, I know that I can achieve it
thanks for your eternal love and for always being with me. The Church has
chosen as the last moment of preparation for the reception of locoristia to take up
those words of Roman belting of cafaran when she asked Jesus to heal her Lord
Faithful Voice, unfortunately, paralyzed and suffered much. Lord I do not know
what came to my house, but say only one word and my servant will
heal the extreme attitude, humility and deep confidence that characterized the request of his
officer Pagano by requiring the saving intervention of Christ in his house, a true
and authentic profession of faith wants and must be the attitude of all of us.
Priests and faithful. These words must be said together priest and faithful in
the Mass, at the moment when we are about to receive the Lord in
his heart. Of course, none of us is worthy of Jesus, his
presence and his love. But we know in faith that it is enough on
a sign, a word, a look, and he can save us even
today, after so much time, we all entrust ourselves to the Gospel words
of this man to renew our attitude of humility and trust, hoping to obtain
like him the miracle of salvation. I give you the beneficence of the mercy
of your fathers. Fill you with the heart that the gaze of love of
God, son penetrates into your soul and purifies you from any restlessness and lack
that you can separate 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 our mother caresses and protects you, and that the strength and
simplicity of St Joseph, not our father or lord Thee, lead to heaven
the blessing of God almighty father son and Holy Spirit descend upon you and accompany
you always amen
