1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:06,480 Prayer of heart. Thursday of the fifth week of posing see holy spirit and 2 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,199 help me to put in your presence everything that worries me, everything that worries 3 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:17,719 me, everything that endures ripaz. You know what my deepest concerns are, 4 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:26,879 but today I want to tell you, because it is better to share them 5 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,320 with you that I intend to face them with my own strength. Listen to 6 00:00:29,839 --> 00:00:35,520 me, sir, I proclaim to you with all my soul, I raise 7 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:40,439 my arms and I beg you to help me. Today we celebrate St Athanasius, 8 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,600 bishop and doctor of the Church, The Gospel of St John, chapter 9 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,439 fifteen vesicles, nine to eleven. At that time, Jesus said his scicles 10 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,439 as the manacled father, he has been loved to you. I abide by 11 00:00:54,479 --> 00:00:59,280 my love. If you keep my commandments. You will remain in my love, 12 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:06,200 as I have kept from my father and remain in his love. I 13 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,319 have spoken this to you so that I would read to you and you joy. 14 00:01:11,079 --> 00:01:15,359 I came to printt as the father loved me so I loved you how 15 00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:21,439 we loved God and how he loves us. We cannot imagine it entered into 16 00:01:21,519 --> 00:01:25,400 its depth that God loves me. It is a reality that fills me with 17 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,280 joy and makes me happy at the same time that it commits me and totally. 18 00:01:30,599 --> 00:01:34,560 God the Father, created us out of pure love for love, keeps 19 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,560 us in being and takes care of us with his providence. For love. 20 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,519 He incarnated and the cross died. Sacred scripture sums up this divine attitude by 21 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,560 saying God is love. In this was manifested among us the love of God 22 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,840 in which God sent his only- begotten son into the world, or that 23 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:55,480 we might receive life for him. We love because he loved us first. 24 00:01:57,599 --> 00:02:04,400 God Himself gives us the love, the holy spirit that inhabited their hearts or 25 00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:07,879 that wants us to love it, the holy spirit love and love. Jesus 26 00:02:07,879 --> 00:02:12,199 has stayed with us in the Eucharist, with his body blood soul and divided 27 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,439 in the love story that tells us the Bible that comes to meet us. 28 00:02:21,039 --> 00:02:24,520 He tries to attract us to the last supper, to the pierced heart of 29 00:02:24,599 --> 00:02:30,479 the cross, to the apparitions of the Risen One and the great works by 30 00:02:30,479 --> 00:02:34,439 which he, through the action of the apostles, has guided the walk of 31 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,560 the rising church. Nor has the Lord been absent in the successive history of 32 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,479 the church always comes to our encounter through men in whom he is reflected through 33 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,919 his word, in the sacraments, especially in the Eucharist, the liturgy of 34 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:53,080 the church, in his prayer, in the community of the living life of 35 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,680 believers, we experience the love of God, we perceive his presence and, 36 00:02:57,439 --> 00:03:02,400 in this way we learn to recognize it also in our daily life. He 37 00:03:02,439 --> 00:03:07,560 loved us first and keeps warning us first. That is why we can also 38 00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:12,120 correspond in God' s love. It does not impose on us a feeling 39 00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:15,360 that we cannot raise in ourselves. He loves us and makes us see his 40 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,240 love experience and of it, before God, they can also make love in 41 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,759 us. In response to this, man' s only valid answer, which 42 00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:30,840 is aware of God' s love. This is what St Joseph Mary suggests 43 00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:36,439 in his humility toward holiness, to foster the only aspiration that is worthwhile, 44 00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:40,400 says to go with Jesus, as were his Blessed Mother and his Holy Patriarch, 45 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:49,280 eagerly, with denial, without neglecting anything. Our happiness, our perfection, 46 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,360 is in love with God above all things, also the realization of our 47 00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:59,800 freedom that does not have, Lord other freedom raised Mars. This love begins 48 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,039 in this life. I was growing to the end, until I got to 49 00:04:03,039 --> 00:04:06,280 the Pleyt, at the end of waiting for us masters. True love consists 50 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,479 not in selfishness in pleasure, but in acer what the loved person wants for 51 00:04:11,479 --> 00:04:15,240 man, The first thing is to do the will of God. Thus by 52 00:04:15,639 --> 00:04:26,360 putting St Joseph Mary in two thoughts of hers written in furrow you love but 53 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,560 one thought to live for the beloved prose, not to belong to one another, 54 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,000 to be subject to joyous and freely with the love and the heart to 55 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:41,800 the will of jena and at the same time itself says in point seven nine 56 00:04:41,959 --> 00:04:44,439 and seven and in another do not doubt, the heart has been created to 57 00:04:44,439 --> 00:04:46,319 love. We are therefore to our Lord Jesus Christ in all our loves, 58 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:53,879 but the empty heart comes and is filled with the most despicable lowities. It 59 00:04:53,920 --> 00:05:00,240 ' s the eight hundredth point. The biography published by defraset Forzar Forgiveness about 60 00:05:00,319 --> 00:05:04,399 my father Massimirao Colbe is entitled Do not forget love, which is the ultimate 61 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:11,439 motto he gave to the Franciscans who were with him in Poland. When they 62 00:05:11,959 --> 00:05:15,759 were packaged by the German effect of World War II, they were deported to 63 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,079 the concentration camps. The theologians raised the question of whether Martyr died, for 64 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,800 he gave his life in Dugardu instead of a family father in the San Juapalo 65 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:30,000 II concentration camp. He had no doubt about it. Although he had been 66 00:05:30,079 --> 00:05:35,759 vetted as confessor. He was canonized as a martyr, for by the example 67 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,000 of Jesus Christ he freely gave his life for men. In the case of 68 00:05:40,079 --> 00:05:45,959 Father Cobe, by a specific man. God expects us to manifest the correspondence 69 00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:49,279 to his love under all circumstances, even if we ever go against it. 70 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:58,560 God awaits you for that reason where you are, you have to commit yourself 71 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,680 to inviting him to a rita with joy, with love, with illusion, 72 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,839 even if it is present in the circumstances or a permanent situation, I must 73 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,000 counterpelling. God, he' s waiting for you, he' s waiting 74 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,839 for you, and I need you. Faith in a document of the Spanish 75 00:06:13,879 --> 00:06:17,639 Episcopal Confia entitled God is Love, which seems to me very suggestive. We 76 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:23,759 read the following abounding with what we speak today in our prayer. The intimate 77 00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:28,800 life of God says that it has been revealed to us in Jesus Christ as 78 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,079 the holy cudility of the father son and Holy spirit is the life of love. 79 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,800 If we were right, it is little to say that God has love 80 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:41,360 for us, as if we could say that no to me could also not 81 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,439 have rado. God not only has love for us, but it is love. 82 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,519 This ineffable communion of being divine in that father general son, in which 83 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,959 the son unifies the father and in which the Holy Spirit links the two eternally. 84 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,680 It' s love itself. Eternal love, the creator for whom God 85 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:04,759 says, is perfectly happy and absolutely generous in itself. It is the origin 86 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:10,199 of the being of all things, in particular of persons who, endowed with 87 00:07:10,279 --> 00:07:15,639 intelligence and freedom, are also called to live in communion with others and with 88 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,439 others. We' re talking about Father Coranda, but I' m sorry. 89 00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:28,839 We speak of God, crown of joy, as when Jesus cried full 90 00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:38,759 of the wound of the Holy Spirit I thank you, Father, yes father. 91 00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:44,199 Invite us all to listen and we invite forgiveness to all to listen deep 92 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,759 down to the soul, the call to God to know him better to love 93 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,000 him more to respond in joyfully yes father, if we lose the taste for 94 00:07:51,879 --> 00:07:57,759 God, if the same word God does not mean with little to some, 95 00:07:57,959 --> 00:08:01,279 and the question of where your God is, who does not lead a culture 96 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,519 stripped of faith gets to worry too much. It will be because we talk 97 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:11,720 little to God. You seek proofs of God, Pray with perseverance, seek 98 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,639 strength for a hopeful and righteous hour I have hidden from the father. We 99 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:22,319 should not pray with sedition, use it only to get things. Christian prayer 100 00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:26,639 is, first of all, praise of the immense goodness of God, discovery 101 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,519 of his infinite mercy and, therefore, conversion to him. It is truly 102 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,639 useful prayer that puts us entirely in the hands of God, who frees us 103 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:43,799 to abandon his small interests to us and to flee us is completely a living 104 00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:48,000 in Christ. In this way, prayer heals us, comforts us and strengthens 105 00:08:48,039 --> 00:08:54,679 us. Whoever truly finds himself with the living God immediately puts himself in his 106 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,559 hands for the prayer that arises from the bottom of the soul, like the 107 00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:03,879 impulse in condole. Here the text of the Spanish Episcopal Conference helps you to 108 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,279 consider with these councils themes present throughout the d to the Lord coming out of 109 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,200 yourself from your selfishness, put in your life an order that leads you to 110 00:09:13,279 --> 00:09:18,480 always act in the same way with coherence, And this is the order of 111 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,440 God, of charity forgiveness, God the others and I tell more time to 112 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,840 prayer and your spiritual formation, that is, to know him and to treat 113 00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:33,120 him more frequently of the sacraments of penance and the Eucharist. I give the 114 00:09:33,159 --> 00:09:37,080 blessing that the lords in your heart, that you may love with all him, 115 00:09:37,799 --> 00:09:41,559 that your lips may be, that you may speak with strength, that 116 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,840 I may make his resurrection, that your arms may be to work without rest 117 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,679 for him, for love of him, and that they may be in his 118 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,759 kingdom, that he may be in your feet, that you may walk in 119 00:09:50,759 --> 00:09:54,759 the path of peace, that the lord may show you, that he may 120 00:09:54,759 --> 00:09:58,480 be in your clean gaze, that your eyes may see Jesus in others, 121 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,960 that he may be in your joy, that with the first you may never, 122 00:10:01,759 --> 00:10:05,360 or that in motives you may have, and that others may give them 123 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:05,360 in the name of the father, and of the son, and of the 124 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:05,360 Holy Spirit Amen.
