Prayer of the Heart Wednesday of the 10th Week of the Ordinary Time. Come
Holy Spirit so that I may find wisdom in the midst of my limits,
discomfort and weariness, for the sun that sets is as beautiful When I am
healthy as when I am sick. Help me to appreciate the beauty of things
beyond my moods. Help me enjoy what you give me in the middle of
my troubles. Come Holy Spirit and teach me to live, because many times
I can only look at what worries me, what I lack, what I
dislike, as if there was nothing more than that. Today we must observe
Saint Sarbelio Macrouf, Peribetro, Marolita Allibanés and Saint Cristina de bagera the Gospel.
Today it' s St Matthew' s. Chapter thirteen verses, one
to nine. That day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the
lake. So many people came in that they had to get into a boat
and sat down and the people stood on the shore. He told them a
long time about parables. The sower went out to sow. Sowing a little
fell on the edge of the road, the birds came and ate it.
Another little fell on rocky ground where there was hardly any soil. Since the
earth was not deep, it immediately sprang up, but as soon as the
sun came out it embraced and for lack of root it dried up. Another
little fell between brambles that grew and drowned him. The rest fell on good
ground and wept some hundreds another sixty others thirty, the one who has ears
that the Red Lord hears with abundance and gratitude asemia of the word of God
even knowing that he will be able to find an inadequate land, that will
not allow him to mature because of the direz and that he will extinguish his
life force by drowning it among brambles. However, the sower is not discouraged
because he knows that part of that seed is destined to fall into good ground,
that is, into good hearts, unable to accept the word with readiness
to make it mature in perseverance, so that it will bear fruit with generosity
for the sake of many. The image of the earth can evoke the more
or less good reality of the family, the environment, often arid and hard
of work, the days of suffering and tears the earth is above all the
heart of every man, in particular of the young, often confused and disoriented
hearts, but capable of containing in itself unimaginable energies, of surrender, ready
to open up in the beginnings of a life given out of love to Jesus,
capable of following him with the totality and certainty that springs up, of
having found the greatest treasure of existence. Whoever sows in the heart of man
is always only the Lord Christ stands on the shore of the lake of our
life and wants to enter into his shadow with his boat forgiveness, not as
a stranger, but as a friend who brings peace and in what way by
his word and his presence. On this. There is a very close relationship
between reading and the Gospel, as well as God Himself, God of food
to the Selites in the desert. Christ also wants to give himself as food
in our souls. He wants us to realize the only two sources of life.
His word in the Gospel and his body in the Eucharist. The whole
Gospel focuses on our first and vital food, which is that seed thrown to
you before your soul in particular. But the Sembradou is the protagonist of the
scene and not our poor ground with its thorns and stones, For if we
look well, if we look well, we cannot work the earth without the
help of God. If we believe ourselves to be the center of the scene,
we' ll be wrong. But if we understand our role of collaboration
with God’ s hour, then we have been wise in our relationship with
him. Now, it is nice to perceive the love of God who lovingly
throws the seeds and we feel ashamed of the roughness with which we receive his
word in the Gospel without improving our life. So what can we do?
First to analyze the degree of harmony between what I want and what God wants,
then to accept or not his Holy will, but they are never indecisive,
because it moves us to despair and, finally, to carry out the
word of God in the day, that is, to live the two commandments
of God, to love him and the Projimo as ourselves, to live in
the face of God, making him in prayer as a friend, husband and
lord, respecting his body dearly, and the Projimo worrying about everything at his
side, paying attention to the one who speaks to me, showing affection to
all and thus, God will be able to produce one hundred percent in our
souls. Pope Francis, addressing the young people, said Jesus, Jesus.
He tells us that the seeds that fell on the edge of the road or
between the stones or in the midst of thorns did not bear fruit. I
think with our honesty we can ask a question. What kind of land we
are, what kind of land we want to be. Maybe sometimes we'
re like the road. We listen to the Lord, but nothing changes in
our lives, because we don' t leave soda, we let ourselves be
fooled. Therefore, superficial claims we hear. I ask you, but don
' t answer it. Now each answer his heart. Said the dad I
' m a young man, a young woman pointed out or we' re
like the rocky terrain. We welcome Jesus enthusiastically, but we are inconstant in
the face of difficulties. We don' t have the courage to go to
the countercurrent. We each answer with his heart. I have courage or I
' m a coward or we' re like the thorny terrain. Things,
negative passions suffocate in us the words of the Lord I have in my heart
the habit of playing at two ends and getting well with God and getting well
with the Devil. He will want to receive the seed of Jesus and at
the same time water thorns and yuyos that make in my heart says the Pope
each in silence who answers today. However, I am sure that seed can
fall into good soil. We heard these testimonies as the seed fell on good
ground. No father, I' m not good soil, I' m
a calamide. I' m full of stones, thorns and everything. Yeah,
maybe up there, but it does a little bit, it does a
little bit of good ground and lets it fall there and you' re gonna
see how the dad germinates. I know that you want to be a good
Christian land seriously, not a part- time Christian, not a starchy Christian
with such a steep nose that you look like Christians and do nothing at all.
Not critians, not façade Christians. That is nonsense Christians, who are
pure façade, but authentic Christians. I know that you who do not want
to live in the illusion of a squeaky freedom that is dragged away by the
wedding and the conveniences of the moment I know that you point to the top
to definitive decisions that give full meaning. That' s right, or I
' m wrong. That' s right. Okay. If so, let
' s do one thing. Let us all silently look at the heart and
each one tell Jesus that he wants to receive the seed. Tell Jesus.
Look at the stones, what is there, look at the thorns, look
at the Yuyus, but look at this little piece of earth that I offer
you to enter into the seed. Silence followed the Pope. We let Jesus
into the semility. Remember this moment. Everyone knows the name of the seed
that came in to let it grow, that God will take care of it
and the Pope ended by saying, dear friends, do not forget, you
are the field of faith, you are the athletes of Christ. You are
the builders of a more beautiful church and a better world. Let us raise
our eyes to Our Lady. She helps us follow. Jesus sets his example
with his yes to God. Here is the slave of the Lord who is
fulfilled to me. What you said, we' ll tell him, too.
Farewell, along with Mary, let it be done to me according to
your word, so be it. This is how the Pope spoke at the
New Year' s Watch on young people in Rio de Janeiro in July of
the two thousand and thirteen. Lord today has known me clearly I know that
only by listening to you and receiving you the dearest thing will I not perish
in this desert that is the world. You have also shown me my ingratitude
toward you, especially when I do not make your seeds bear fruit, those
graces and opportunities to grow in love what and in patience, because I have
closed my heart. But now I ask you on your knees not to let
my days pass without loving you, seeing in all your father' s hand
and praying with your heart and not with your mouth. I would love everyone
I see today as my last day on earth with love and affection. Jesus,
who never stops Nunja, stopped loving Amen gave you the blessing, that
the goodness and mercy of God, Father, comes in your heart, that
the gaze of the love of God, son, penetrate into your soul and
purify you from any restlessness and lack that can separate you from God, that
the love of God the Holy Spirit, grants you the peace you need and
the tenderness of Mary, mother of God and our mother caress and protect you,
and the strength and simplicity to Joseph, our father. Lord led you
to heaven and the blessing of God, father, son and holy spirit,
descend upon you and accompany you always amen
