Prayer of the heart Wednesday of the eleventh week of ordinary time. Come Holy
Spirit to give me your ever- new life. Fill me with the amazement
of a child to look at the world and life that I do not get
used to life that will let me surprise every morning, because behind everything is
your beloved God help me to recognize that routine does not exist, because all
then, every day, because there is always something that is beginning. Take
all my life Holy Spirit and read it of the eternal novelty of your love
that this day does not pass in vain and can discover the melejacio that you
have today for my life. Come Holy Spirit, Amen, today we zebra
Saint Ramuello, the colta and father of the monks, chamaldolesans, the Gospel
in St Matthew or n s six verses, one from now on. At
that time Jesus told his disciples not to ply your righteousness before men to be
seen by them. Otherwise, I will have no reward from your heavenly father.
As soon as you do it, you will blow the trumpet before you,
as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, in order
to be honored by men. I assure you, you have already received his
payment. You. Instead, when you do Limosna who doesn' t know
your hand, left what your right hand does, so we turn, it
will remain secret and your father, who see a secret, will pay you
when you receive not six hypocritical charges who like to pray in feet on the
loaf, in the corners of the squares for the people to see them I
assure you that they have already received their pay. You, when you do
go pray go into your room, close the door and pray your father who
is in hiding and your father who hid it from me will pay you.
When you gather, do not walk low, like the hypocrites who show their
face to show the people who fast, I assure you that they have already
received their wages. You, however, when you are perfuming your head and
radiating your face so that your fast can be noticed by people, but your
father who is heaven in the hidden and your father who sees in the hidden,
will reward you. Catholic catechism and deslicia teaches us that God raised us
to be happy. If you see him and love him in this life and
then enjoy eternally in heaven. When we look, for example, at the
life of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, when we hear the many stories of hundreds
of missionaries who, day after day, in anonymity, in a country that
we do not even know how to place in the Pope, consume their lives
at the service of the most needy, we ask ourselves who are the most
truly happy men in this world, how many people who apparently have everything,
are the most of the times immense, immensely sad. His life doesn'
t make sense. It' s just an image, a more or less
beautiful appearance. On one occasion, Teresa de Calcutta' s mother had a
meeting of entrepreneurs. In the end one of them said something to us and
only said Smile. She knew well the effect of a smile can cause on
the other, on the neighbor, or we knew that Smile makes life easier
for oneself and others. Sometimes you need to meet in the mirror and ask
yourself and me what that has changed. When he smiled, when Christ asks
us to do good and do it before the Father who sees in secret,
he invites us to seek true happiness, that happiness that the world cannot give
us. That realm of the secret of the occult refers to consciousness passes to
you. The Risen Christ said to the muns a peace that is inner serenity,
peace that is harmony and friendship with God peace, that is true happiness.
There is no doubt that it is men, most happy in this world,
who, second after second, leave their lives silently and lovingly to serve
others. How beautiful the look. How beautiful the look and smile of the
one who lives before God and not in the face of men. If we
can see being faithful to God' s side within us, then we will
realize our end as creatures to be happy for You made us. Lord E
restless, they are his heart until he rests in You said St Augustine,
let us go to God and he who in the secret will reconversate us more
and more forever, but it is always so, ask yourself why I do
not find in happy agents. Just do a little test take a sheet of
paper and write down the list and gredients that you think are necessary to be
happy. He then writes the way of the Gospel. Happy those who then
compare it to chapter five of the matje in amethyst. This is what could
come out if we did it with many young people, for example, Happy
ones who have enough money to live. Happy are those in good health.
Happy are those who have a united family. Happy are those who have work,
Happy are those who have found their vocation. Happy are those who feel
good about themselves, Happy is the one who has good character. Happy is
the one who doesn' t have separate parents. These and others could be
some of the improved responses to those formulated by today' s young people.
As you see none of them speak of the happiness of being a customer or
of being loved by God. If we compare this answer to the one we
saw, we were not only impressed by the obvious differences between these two lists,
we did not expect it, but also by the fact that no one
was convinced by the list established by Jesus. Some admired him, but no
one envied him. Obviously, we' re not talking about the same thing.
It doesn' t matter what shades they get. No one finally considered
a poor person happy, patient or merciful, but envied the situation of the
person crying not to speak of the persecution he might provoke. Disconcert, only
purity of heart or love or justice can be considered sources of happiness, but
happiness is a gift that we have already received. There are two conceptions,
if not of happiness, at least of the happy man for Jesus, Only
one who is in communion with God is truly happy. And the great revelation
of Jesus is that God must be imagined rather as a poor, a patient,
a merciful, a peacemaker, a pure heart. The happy one is
the one who accepts to depend on God in all simplicity of heart and confers
is happy the one who trusts God more than men. The Virgin Mary told
Saint Bernardita her virus in Lourdes. I promise not to be happy on earth,
but in heaven. This saddens those who do not believe in it.
It is their sorrow who do not believe in it, but full of giving
idea to those who receive the I. Therefore, it is necessary with Jesus
to give him back to the formula. Instead of looking for what I can
make man happy once a risky task and often to be a dinnerer, it
is better to look for those who deserve that divine label about happy. The
Lord then opens our eyes to what is true happiness. If it is happy
it is a gift we have already received, but often in our eyes they
cannot see. We must ask the Lord to ram us instead of running illusory
happiness that I sow will escape us as fleeting virtual objects. I ask you,
sir, to reveal to us how happy we are. It is difficult,
gentlemen, to trust fully in your divine providence by nature. I like
the applause and recognition of others often turn my prayer into a danger of petitions
or, worse, claims. I don' t like giving up something and
sacrificing. Thank you, sir, for your patience, your mercy. With
your grace I will be able to overcome my evil inclinations to see the commandment
of love fulfilled. Give you the blessing that God, Father, accompany you
from your heart. Take care of yourself make you strong and faithful and joyful,
that the son of God will make you feel tenderness and mercy. Remove
from your heart any anxiety that can make you suffer that Holy Spirit you bring
that intelligence strength in your heart renewed spirit and determination to love with all the
heart that varies most holy. I made you feel her mother' s warmth
and her dark and tender embrace and St Joseph take care of you with his
father' s heart, the name of the father and son and the Holy
Spirit Amen.
