1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:08,359
Prayer of the heart. Monday of
the fourth week of Lent holy spirit.

2
00:00:08,599 --> 00:00:12,960
I believe in you or I hope
in you I love you, Lord You,

3
00:00:14,279 --> 00:00:16,039
you deserve the worship of the human
heart and you are deaf. Before

4
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:23,879
you I must prostrate myself alone You
are the glorious lord with a beauty you

5
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:28,359
cannot even imagine. Therefore, Lord
You, do not allow me to worship

6
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:33,240
anything as if I were a god, because no being and nothing in this

7
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,759
world is worth so much. I
recognize you as master, lord of life,

8
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:42,399
lord of my life. Don'
t let her lose her headship and

9
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,759
joy for things that aren' t
worth that much. I repeat, do

10
00:00:46,799 --> 00:00:50,000
not allow me to lose serenity and
joy for things that are not worth so

11
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:56,479
much. Today we celebrate Saint Urea
of St Millan, the Lower of St

12
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,039
John, chapter four verses forty-
three to fifty- four. At that

13
00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:06,879
time Jesus went out of Samaria into
Galilee. Jesus himself had witnessed a prophet,

14
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:12,920
esteemed us in his homeland. When
he arrived in Galilee, the Galidians

15
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:18,239
received him well because they had seen
all that he had done in Jerusalem during

16
00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:22,280
the feast, for they too had
gone to the feast. It was Jesus

17
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,920
again to Canada and Galilee, where
he had turned the water into wine.

18
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,799
There was a royal official who had
a sick son in Capernaum. Hearing that

19
00:01:30,879 --> 00:01:34,799
Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to see him and asked

20
00:01:34,879 --> 00:01:38,920
them to come down to heal his
son like this one who was dying.

21
00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:46,560
Jesus told him if you do not
see signs and wonders, do not believe

22
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,120
the official insists, sir, that
my son, Jesus, dies, answers

23
00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:55,799
go your son lives. The man
fell into the word of Jesus and laid

24
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,760
down a way. I was just
coming down. When his servants came to

25
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,640
urs I found him telling him that
his son lived, you are asked at

26
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,519
what time I' m going to
start to get better and they answered him.

27
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,960
Yesterday at hor a 7th He left
him the fever the father who gave

28
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,560
the account that that was the time
when Jesus had told him. Your son

29
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,360
lives and believed in him He told
his family. This second sign was made

30
00:02:20,439 --> 00:02:34,800
by Jesus upon his coming from Judea
to Galilee. You believe that God does

31
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:38,520
not listen to us if we pray
insistently. The expression of Jesus is very

32
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,080
strong and God will not do justice
to his elect who cry to him day

33
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,800
and night, even though they may
not keep them waiting and shouting day and

34
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,840
night toward God. We are touched
by this image of prayer, but let

35
00:02:51,879 --> 00:02:54,080
us ask ourselves why God wants this. He doesn' t know our needs

36
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,039
anymore, what' s the point. I will insist with God. This

37
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,719
is a good question that makes us
delve into a very important aspect of faith.

38
00:03:01,719 --> 00:03:06,960
God invites us to pray insistently,
not because he does not know what

39
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,120
we need or because he does not
listen to us. On the contrary,

40
00:03:08,719 --> 00:03:15,159
he always listens and knows everything about
us on our way is everyday, especially

41
00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:19,879
the difficulties in the fight against evil
outside and within us. Sir' s

42
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,360
not far. He' s right
next to us. We fight with him

43
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:29,719
next door and our weapon is precisely
the prayer that makes us feel his presence

44
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,840
with us, his mercy and also
his help. For the time being,

45
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,280
Jesus is well received in Galilee,
although he is already aware that a prophet

46
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:44,960
is not esteemed. In his poor
homeland. In Cana, where he had

47
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,599
performed the first miracle of the water
turned into wine, he makes another sign

48
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,360
healing the son of the royal official
of Caffarnoun and at this moment again appears

49
00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:59,000
a foreigner with greater faith than the
Jews, for the Gospel tells us that

50
00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:01,560
man believed in the words of Jesus
and set himself on the way. Jesus

51
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:06,199
' march toward death and resurrection is
sown with facts in which he communicates to

52
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:13,599
all others health, life joy.
It is God who will make this coming

53
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,240
Passover a true spring for us by
incorporating us to his son, for he

54
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,920
who is in Christ is a new
creation. Everybody' s been through the

55
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,199
old stuff. Then, Jesus wants
to restore our health as the son the

56
00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:33,360
royal official and wants to free us
from all slavery and sadness, to forgive

57
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,120
us all our faults. If we
have faith, if we really want it

58
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:42,000
to heal you, we must approach
confidently so that it fills us with His

59
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,639
grace. For this reason, every
time we prepare to receive her the locoristia,

60
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,199
we say a brief prayer that makes
us humbler. Sir, I am

61
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:56,160
not worthy to stay in my house, but one word of yours is enough

62
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:01,240
to heal me. Sir, your
son' s illness motivated the official to

63
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,959
seek and believe in You. I
want to mature and grow in my love

64
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:11,079
for You so that I will not
only seek you in need, in loneliness

65
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,720
or in suffering. With your grace, I know that I can achieve it

66
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,519
thanks for your eternal love and for
always being with me. The Church has

67
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:25,560
chosen as the last moment of preparation
for the reception of locoristia to take up

68
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,079
those words of Roman belting of cafaran
when she asked Jesus to heal her Lord

69
00:05:30,079 --> 00:05:34,279
Faithful Voice, unfortunately, paralyzed and
suffered much. Lord I do not know

70
00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:39,560
what came to my house, but
say only one word and my servant will

71
00:05:39,639 --> 00:05:46,079
heal the extreme attitude, humility and
deep confidence that characterized the request of his

72
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,160
officer Pagano by requiring the saving intervention
of Christ in his house, a true

73
00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:56,360
and authentic profession of faith wants and
must be the attitude of all of us.

74
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,600
Priests and faithful. These words must
be said together priest and faithful in

75
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,360
the Mass, at the moment when
we are about to receive the Lord in

76
00:06:04,439 --> 00:06:10,800
his heart. Of course, none
of us is worthy of Jesus, his

77
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,839
presence and his love. But we
know in faith that it is enough on

78
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:21,000
a sign, a word, a
look, and he can save us even

79
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:28,240
today, after so much time,
we all entrust ourselves to the Gospel words

80
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,639
of this man to renew our attitude
of humility and trust, hoping to obtain

81
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:39,879
like him the miracle of salvation.
I give you the beneficence of the mercy

82
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,160
of your fathers. Fill you with
the heart that the gaze of love of

83
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,720
God, son penetrates into your soul
and purifies you from any restlessness and lack

84
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,360
that you can separate from God,
that the love of God, Holy Spirit

85
00:06:49,399 --> 00:06:54,040
grant you the peace that you need, that the tenderness of Mary, mother

86
00:06:54,079 --> 00:06:58,680
of God and our mother caresses and
protects you, and that the strength and

87
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,920
simplicity of St Joseph, not our
father or lord Thee, lead to heaven

88
00:07:00,959 --> 00:07:06,120
the blessing of God almighty father son
and Holy Spirit descend upon you and accompany

89
00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:09,959
you always amen
