1 00:00:01,679 --> 00:00:09,839 Prayer of the heart Wednesday of the eleventh week of ordinary time. Come Holy 2 00:00:09,919 --> 00:00:15,839 Spirit to give me your ever- new life. Fill me with the amazement 3 00:00:15,919 --> 00:00:19,679 of a child to look at the world and life that I do not get 4 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,000 used to life that will let me surprise every morning, because behind everything is 5 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:30,239 your beloved God help me to recognize that routine does not exist, because all 6 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:35,799 then, every day, because there is always something that is beginning. Take 7 00:00:36,039 --> 00:00:41,679 all my life Holy Spirit and read it of the eternal novelty of your love 8 00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:46,280 that this day does not pass in vain and can discover the melejacio that you 9 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:51,000 have today for my life. Come Holy Spirit, Amen, today we zebra 10 00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:58,159 Saint Ramuello, the colta and father of the monks, chamaldolesans, the Gospel 11 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,719 in St Matthew or n s six verses, one from now on. At 12 00:01:02,759 --> 00:01:07,760 that time Jesus told his disciples not to ply your righteousness before men to be 13 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:14,920 seen by them. Otherwise, I will have no reward from your heavenly father. 14 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:21,400 As soon as you do it, you will blow the trumpet before you, 15 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:27,319 as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, in order 16 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:32,480 to be honored by men. I assure you, you have already received his 17 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,000 payment. You. Instead, when you do Limosna who doesn' t know 18 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,359 your hand, left what your right hand does, so we turn, it 19 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,879 will remain secret and your father, who see a secret, will pay you 20 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,319 when you receive not six hypocritical charges who like to pray in feet on the 21 00:01:48,319 --> 00:01:53,439 loaf, in the corners of the squares for the people to see them I 22 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,319 assure you that they have already received their pay. You, when you do 23 00:01:56,359 --> 00:02:00,239 go pray go into your room, close the door and pray your father who 24 00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:02,560 is in hiding and your father who hid it from me will pay you. 25 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,240 When you gather, do not walk low, like the hypocrites who show their 26 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:13,439 face to show the people who fast, I assure you that they have already 27 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,000 received their wages. You, however, when you are perfuming your head and 28 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,759 radiating your face so that your fast can be noticed by people, but your 29 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,080 father who is heaven in the hidden and your father who sees in the hidden, 30 00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:32,319 will reward you. Catholic catechism and deslicia teaches us that God raised us 31 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:39,960 to be happy. If you see him and love him in this life and 32 00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:52,159 then enjoy eternally in heaven. When we look, for example, at the 33 00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:57,759 life of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, when we hear the many stories of hundreds 34 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,919 of missionaries who, day after day, in anonymity, in a country that 35 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:07,280 we do not even know how to place in the Pope, consume their lives 36 00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:13,400 at the service of the most needy, we ask ourselves who are the most 37 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,360 truly happy men in this world, how many people who apparently have everything, 38 00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:23,240 are the most of the times immense, immensely sad. His life doesn' 39 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,759 t make sense. It' s just an image, a more or less 40 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:31,719 beautiful appearance. On one occasion, Teresa de Calcutta' s mother had a 41 00:03:31,759 --> 00:03:38,719 meeting of entrepreneurs. In the end one of them said something to us and 42 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:45,960 only said Smile. She knew well the effect of a smile can cause on 43 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:51,000 the other, on the neighbor, or we knew that Smile makes life easier 44 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,719 for oneself and others. Sometimes you need to meet in the mirror and ask 45 00:03:54,759 --> 00:04:04,800 yourself and me what that has changed. When he smiled, when Christ asks 46 00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:11,759 us to do good and do it before the Father who sees in secret, 47 00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:15,959 he invites us to seek true happiness, that happiness that the world cannot give 48 00:04:15,959 --> 00:04:21,839 us. That realm of the secret of the occult refers to consciousness passes to 49 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:28,399 you. The Risen Christ said to the muns a peace that is inner serenity, 50 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,879 peace that is harmony and friendship with God peace, that is true happiness. 51 00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:36,399 There is no doubt that it is men, most happy in this world, 52 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:43,079 who, second after second, leave their lives silently and lovingly to serve 53 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:49,240 others. How beautiful the look. How beautiful the look and smile of the 54 00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:54,759 one who lives before God and not in the face of men. If we 55 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,240 can see being faithful to God' s side within us, then we will 56 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,759 realize our end as creatures to be happy for You made us. Lord E 57 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:12,639 restless, they are his heart until he rests in You said St Augustine, 58 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,839 let us go to God and he who in the secret will reconversate us more 59 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:23,519 and more forever, but it is always so, ask yourself why I do 60 00:05:23,519 --> 00:05:26,680 not find in happy agents. Just do a little test take a sheet of 61 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,759 paper and write down the list and gredients that you think are necessary to be 62 00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:36,120 happy. He then writes the way of the Gospel. Happy those who then 63 00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:42,240 compare it to chapter five of the matje in amethyst. This is what could 64 00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:47,879 come out if we did it with many young people, for example, Happy 65 00:05:47,879 --> 00:05:51,759 ones who have enough money to live. Happy are those in good health. 66 00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:57,759 Happy are those who have a united family. Happy are those who have work, 67 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,120 Happy are those who have found their vocation. Happy are those who feel 68 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:08,000 good about themselves, Happy is the one who has good character. Happy is 69 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,040 the one who doesn' t have separate parents. These and others could be 70 00:06:12,079 --> 00:06:15,560 some of the improved responses to those formulated by today' s young people. 71 00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:18,920 As you see none of them speak of the happiness of being a customer or 72 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,920 of being loved by God. If we compare this answer to the one we 73 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,279 saw, we were not only impressed by the obvious differences between these two lists, 74 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,480 we did not expect it, but also by the fact that no one 75 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:40,000 was convinced by the list established by Jesus. Some admired him, but no 76 00:06:40,079 --> 00:06:43,560 one envied him. Obviously, we' re not talking about the same thing. 77 00:06:44,199 --> 00:06:48,439 It doesn' t matter what shades they get. No one finally considered 78 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:54,600 a poor person happy, patient or merciful, but envied the situation of the 79 00:06:54,639 --> 00:07:00,839 person crying not to speak of the persecution he might provoke. Disconcert, only 80 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,279 purity of heart or love or justice can be considered sources of happiness, but 81 00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:12,480 happiness is a gift that we have already received. There are two conceptions, 82 00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:17,399 if not of happiness, at least of the happy man for Jesus, Only 83 00:07:17,439 --> 00:07:24,759 one who is in communion with God is truly happy. And the great revelation 84 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,839 of Jesus is that God must be imagined rather as a poor, a patient, 85 00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:33,199 a merciful, a peacemaker, a pure heart. The happy one is 86 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:40,160 the one who accepts to depend on God in all simplicity of heart and confers 87 00:07:40,199 --> 00:07:43,839 is happy the one who trusts God more than men. The Virgin Mary told 88 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,480 Saint Bernardita her virus in Lourdes. I promise not to be happy on earth, 89 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:55,160 but in heaven. This saddens those who do not believe in it. 90 00:07:56,279 --> 00:07:58,920 It is their sorrow who do not believe in it, but full of giving 91 00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:03,000 idea to those who receive the I. Therefore, it is necessary with Jesus 92 00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:05,439 to give him back to the formula. Instead of looking for what I can 93 00:08:05,439 --> 00:08:11,279 make man happy once a risky task and often to be a dinnerer, it 94 00:08:11,279 --> 00:08:16,560 is better to look for those who deserve that divine label about happy. The 95 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:22,319 Lord then opens our eyes to what is true happiness. If it is happy 96 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,680 it is a gift we have already received, but often in our eyes they 97 00:08:26,759 --> 00:08:31,440 cannot see. We must ask the Lord to ram us instead of running illusory 98 00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:41,279 happiness that I sow will escape us as fleeting virtual objects. I ask you, 99 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,960 sir, to reveal to us how happy we are. It is difficult, 100 00:08:43,399 --> 00:08:48,919 gentlemen, to trust fully in your divine providence by nature. I like 101 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:54,080 the applause and recognition of others often turn my prayer into a danger of petitions 102 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,960 or, worse, claims. I don' t like giving up something and 103 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,519 sacrificing. Thank you, sir, for your patience, your mercy. With 104 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,879 your grace I will be able to overcome my evil inclinations to see the commandment 105 00:09:07,879 --> 00:09:11,440 of love fulfilled. Give you the blessing that God, Father, accompany you 106 00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:16,399 from your heart. Take care of yourself make you strong and faithful and joyful, 107 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,960 that the son of God will make you feel tenderness and mercy. Remove 108 00:09:18,039 --> 00:09:22,799 from your heart any anxiety that can make you suffer that Holy Spirit you bring 109 00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:28,679 that intelligence strength in your heart renewed spirit and determination to love with all the 110 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,279 heart that varies most holy. I made you feel her mother' s warmth 111 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,480 and her dark and tender embrace and St Joseph take care of you with his 112 00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:39,279 father' s heart, the name of the father and son and the Holy 113 00:09:39,919 --> 00:09:39,279 Spirit Amen.
