1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:06,879 Prayer of the heart flow from the twelfth week of ordinary time. Come Holy 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,400 Spirit, to give me your ever- new life. Fill me with the 3 00:00:11,439 --> 00:00:14,960 astonishment of a child to admire the world and life that does not get me 4 00:00:15,039 --> 00:00:19,079 used to life that let me surprise every morning, because behind everything is your 5 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,440 Love, my God. Help me to recognize that routine does not exist, 6 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,760 because everything is new every day, because there is always something that is beginning. 7 00:00:28,519 --> 00:00:33,600 Take all my life Holy Spirit and it will fill with the eternal novelty 8 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,079 of your Love that that day will not pass in vain and I will be 9 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,079 able to discover the message that there is for my life. Come Holy Spirit, 10 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:49,719 Amen today we celebrate Saint Irenaeus of Lion Bishop eh Ehm and the Father 11 00:00:49,799 --> 00:00:55,359 of the Church. The Gospel is of St Matthew. Chapter eight verses eight 12 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,880 in verses one to four. At that time, as Jesus came down from 13 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,280 the mountain, many people followed him in this. The leper came up to 14 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,719 him, knelt down and said," Sir, if you want, you 15 00:01:08,519 --> 00:01:11,879 can wipe my hand and touch it and say I want to" It' 16 00:01:12,879 --> 00:01:17,879 s clean and fast. He was clean from leprosy and Jesus tells him not 17 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,560 to tell anyone, but for the record he sees you present yourself to the 18 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,439 priest and give him the offering that Moses commanded. The episode of leper healing 19 00:01:27,599 --> 00:01:36,879 takes place in three stages. The invocation of the sick, the response of 20 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,239 Jesus and the consequences of prodigious healing. The leper begs Jesus on his knees 21 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:47,200 and tells you if you want you can cleanse me of humble and confident prayer. 22 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:53,439 Jesus responds with a deep attitude to compassion. Compassion is a very profound 23 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:59,480 word that means suffering with the other, suffering with the heart. Eh, 24 00:02:01,159 --> 00:02:07,159 the heart of Christ manifests God' s fatherly compassion for that man. Approaching 25 00:02:07,199 --> 00:02:15,159 him and touching him this particular is very important. Jesus reaches out and touches 26 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:21,879 and immediately the leprosy disappears and he purifies it. God' s mercy overcomes 27 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:31,080 every barrier and Jesus' hand touches leper. He does not put, he 28 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:38,199 does not put a safe distance and does not act by delegating, but is 29 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:45,639 directly exposed to the contagion for our evil. And so just our evil becomes 30 00:02:45,719 --> 00:02:53,479 instead of contact. Jesus takes from us the sick humanity and we from him 31 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,680 the humanity that comes out and heals. This happens every time we receive a 32 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,639 sacrament with c. Lord Jesus touches us and gives us His grace. In 33 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,759 this case we think especially of the sacrament of the concession that heals us, 34 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,680 of the leprosy of sin. There is no doubt that the life of men, 35 00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:22,039 your life and mine, is full of more or less visible sufferings, 36 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:28,759 physical, metal, moral, family, etcetera. The heprosus of today' 37 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,960 s Gospel is one of those miseries. Although men strive to seek riches and 38 00:03:34,039 --> 00:03:38,479 pretend to live in an immortal world, the signs of death are in every 39 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,280 man carries in themselves. They' re inevitable. We find ourselves in every 40 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,680 step of our lives, drugs, marriages, waste, suicides, abuses, 41 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,159 diseases and endless misfortunes that even the most famous, richest, wisest and healthiest 42 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:58,680 man knows personally for many people, many of those rainis s s are made 43 00:03:58,759 --> 00:04:02,400 of s SR of every day. However, I know that, despite this, 44 00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:08,919 you must go ahead in life as well as possible. Therefore, Jesus 45 00:04:09,039 --> 00:04:13,879 puts in his hands this cast of misfortunes and transforms it into graces and blessings. 46 00:04:15,319 --> 00:04:18,040 You go out to miracles so that we see that you are able to 47 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:23,920 give us a life that is not only suffering, but that there are also 48 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:30,800 physical and moral consolations that are deeper because they touch the soul itself. For 49 00:04:30,879 --> 00:04:34,000 this I have come to give life, to bring us a kingdom of love 50 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,040 and union. It is enough for us to use our freedom correctly so that 51 00:04:40,079 --> 00:04:43,319 all the graces that Christ wants to give us can be realized. It is 52 00:04:43,399 --> 00:04:47,240 enough to rely on him in his word, which speaks to us of the 53 00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:51,399 merciful father and interested in our happiness. Lord I believe in you in abundance 54 00:04:51,439 --> 00:04:56,920 and gratitude of your love. Give me the grace to reciprocate with a clean 55 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,399 heart. It is sincere that it covers the lives of others with my own 56 00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:03,319 words, that it heals the lives of others with my words, my actions 57 00:05:03,399 --> 00:05:08,720 and my testimony. Help me to live in your light to experience the joy 58 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,480 of healing that comes with your friendship. Pray today, with the illusion and 59 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,879 confidence to believe and know that God will give me everything I need. I 60 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:23,000 give you the blessing that God, Father, will accompany you in your heart, 61 00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:25,959 take care of you, make you strong, joyful and faithful that God 62 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,240 the Son, make you feel his tenderness and mercy and take away your heart. 63 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,720 Any anxiety that can make you suffer that from a holy spirit, you 64 00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:36,519 deduce yourself in intelligence to force the heart. It brought about the renewed and 65 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,040 determination to love with all the most valid heart. I felt her mother' 66 00:05:41,079 --> 00:05:45,319 s warmth, her loving and tender embrace and St Joseph. I take care 67 00:05:45,399 --> 00:05:48,319 of you with a father' s heart, the name of the father, 68 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,519 and he said to him, and he is of the holy spirit Amen.
