Prayer of the heart flow from the twelfth week of ordinary time. Come Holy
Spirit, to give me your ever- new life. Fill me with the
astonishment of a child to admire the world and life that does not get me
used to life that let me surprise every morning, because behind everything is your
Love, my God. Help me to recognize that routine does not exist,
because everything is new every day, because there is always something that is beginning.
Take all my life Holy Spirit and it will fill with the eternal novelty
of your Love that that day will not pass in vain and I will be
able to discover the message that there is for my life. Come Holy Spirit,
Amen today we celebrate Saint Irenaeus of Lion Bishop eh Ehm and the Father
of the Church. The Gospel is of St Matthew. Chapter eight verses eight
in verses one to four. At that time, as Jesus came down from
the mountain, many people followed him in this. The leper came up to
him, knelt down and said," Sir, if you want, you
can wipe my hand and touch it and say I want to" It'
s clean and fast. He was clean from leprosy and Jesus tells him not
to tell anyone, but for the record he sees you present yourself to the
priest and give him the offering that Moses commanded. The episode of leper healing
takes place in three stages. The invocation of the sick, the response of
Jesus and the consequences of prodigious healing. The leper begs Jesus on his knees
and tells you if you want you can cleanse me of humble and confident prayer.
Jesus responds with a deep attitude to compassion. Compassion is a very profound
word that means suffering with the other, suffering with the heart. Eh,
the heart of Christ manifests God' s fatherly compassion for that man. Approaching
him and touching him this particular is very important. Jesus reaches out and touches
and immediately the leprosy disappears and he purifies it. God' s mercy overcomes
every barrier and Jesus' hand touches leper. He does not put, he
does not put a safe distance and does not act by delegating, but is
directly exposed to the contagion for our evil. And so just our evil becomes
instead of contact. Jesus takes from us the sick humanity and we from him
the humanity that comes out and heals. This happens every time we receive a
sacrament with c. Lord Jesus touches us and gives us His grace. In
this case we think especially of the sacrament of the concession that heals us,
of the leprosy of sin. There is no doubt that the life of men,
your life and mine, is full of more or less visible sufferings,
physical, metal, moral, family, etcetera. The heprosus of today'
s Gospel is one of those miseries. Although men strive to seek riches and
pretend to live in an immortal world, the signs of death are in every
man carries in themselves. They' re inevitable. We find ourselves in every
step of our lives, drugs, marriages, waste, suicides, abuses,
diseases and endless misfortunes that even the most famous, richest, wisest and healthiest
man knows personally for many people, many of those rainis s s are made
of s SR of every day. However, I know that, despite this,
you must go ahead in life as well as possible. Therefore, Jesus
puts in his hands this cast of misfortunes and transforms it into graces and blessings.
You go out to miracles so that we see that you are able to
give us a life that is not only suffering, but that there are also
physical and moral consolations that are deeper because they touch the soul itself. For
this I have come to give life, to bring us a kingdom of love
and union. It is enough for us to use our freedom correctly so that
all the graces that Christ wants to give us can be realized. It is
enough to rely on him in his word, which speaks to us of the
merciful father and interested in our happiness. Lord I believe in you in abundance
and gratitude of your love. Give me the grace to reciprocate with a clean
heart. It is sincere that it covers the lives of others with my own
words, that it heals the lives of others with my words, my actions
and my testimony. Help me to live in your light to experience the joy
of healing that comes with your friendship. Pray today, with the illusion and
confidence to believe and know that God will give me everything I need. I
give you the blessing that God, Father, will accompany you in your heart,
take care of you, make you strong, joyful and faithful that God
the Son, make you feel his tenderness and mercy and take away your heart.
Any anxiety that can make you suffer that from a holy spirit, you
deduce yourself in intelligence to force the heart. It brought about the renewed and
determination to love with all the most valid heart. I felt her mother'
s warmth, her loving and tender embrace and St Joseph. I take care
of you with a father' s heart, the name of the father,
and he said to him, and he is of the holy spirit Amen.
