Prayer of the heart Friday of the second week of Easter. Oh, Holy
Spirit Love of father and son, inspire me what I must think, what
I must say, as I must say, what I must silence, as
I must silence, what I must do for the Glory of God, well
of the Souls and my own sanctification. Holy Spirit Give me, Audacity to
understand, ability, to retain, method and faculty to learn, subtlety to
interpret, grace and effectiveness to speak. Give me right, at the beginning,
direction, as we progress and perfect, we often celebrate today St Joseph
the Holy Medician of Crib in Naples the Gospel of St John, chapter six
verses one to fifteen. At that time, Jesus went elsewhere in Malilea or
Tiberias. Then many people followed because they had seen the signs that the sick
made the cabbage. Then Jesus went up to the mountain and sat there with
his disciples. The Passover was near, the Jewish feast. When Jesus then
looked up and saw what he was going to do to many people, he
told Philip how to buy pairs to eat these He said this to prove it,
because you know what he was going to do. Philip answered him two
hundred denarii of bread is not enough for each one to touch a piece.
One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Pousin Peter, tells him
here is a boy who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what
is that for so many. Jesus said of the people who sit on the
ground. There was a lot of weed. At that place only the men
of some five zero sat down. Jesus took the bread, said the thanksgiving,
and distributed it to everything they were sitting and, likewise, everything they
wanted from the fish. When they were satisfied, he tells his disciples to
collect the pieces that have been left over that nothing is lost. They picked
him up and filled twelve gray hairs with the pieces of the five barley loaves
left over from those who had eaten the people. Then, seeing the sign
he had made, he said this is truly the prophet who will come into
the world. Jesus, knowing that they were going to take him away to
proclaim him, withdrew again to the mountain. He alone the multiplication of the
loaves reminds me that abundance is a characteristic of true love. Lord I believe
in You and I love you. Therefore, with all confidence, I ask
you to allow me to listen to you in this prayer to know what path
I must follow so that my love for You and others may be unlimited.
Jesus, help me to make my love unconditional, authentic, abundant. He
who loves knows God, who does not at hand, knows God, because
God is love, solid love, strong love, eternal love, love that
manifests itself in his son, who has come to save us, concrete love,
love of works and not of words, to know God. It takes
a whole life, a way, a way of love, of knowledge,
of love for others, of love for those who hate us, of love
for all. The Lord had compassion on the number of people who had come
to hear Him, because they were sheep without a shepherd, disoriented, and
today many people are disoriented in our cities, in our countries. Therefore,
Jesus points to his doctrine and people listen to him when he is late and
asks to be fed. However, olliscipulos respond a little nervous. Once again,
God has come first, olliscipulos had not understood anything. That' s
the love of God. He always waits for us, always surprises us.
He is the father, He is our father who loves us so much that
he is always willing to forgive us not once, seventy times seven, always
as a father full of love. To know that God who is love,
we must flee by the step of love for our neighbor, by the hours
of charity, by the multitude of works of mercy that the Lord has taught
us. The crowd is moved by the prodigy and multiplication of peers, but
the gift that Jesus offers of the fullness of life for the hungry man Jesus
satisfied not only the material hunger, but that deeper, the hunger of the
meaning of life, the hunger of God. Faced with suffering, loneliness,
poverty and difficulty and so many people, what we can do among the characters
involved in the Gospel scene, in addition to a teacher, the apostles and
the crowd, the boy of the loaves and the fish goes unnoticed in the
story. It is hardly mentioned, but its represence and generosity were key for
Jesus to grasp the miracle. In fact, when Philip points out well,
I could have said here there is a boy who has five barley loaves,
those fish, but I don' t even know how to deliver them and
which anyway, what this is for so many. Jesus’ followers required the
faith of those who asked for them. This one. Moreover, he required
the generosity of that boy, as if he wanted to tell us with them
Evangelist that in order to obtain the miracle of one' s own conversion or
of one' s own spiritual and human, generosity is always required, to
give everything and to give it from the heart. Likewise when it comes to
the help of others. Many times we have in you baskets the five loaves
and two fish that need our neighbor. Sometimes it is an almsgiving sometimes it
is to give way in the street or in a simple smile that restores confidence
to our children or co- worker, after we have suffered some mishap or
maybe not think or speak badly that co- worker, or sometimes smile to
get home, although we can tired ourselves. The five pairs are undoubtedly a
representation of the ones, the talents that God has given us only at the
coming in which others, we give them to others, bear fruit and yield
all they can. If we save them for our Greeks they can spoil.
It must be remembered that the miracle begins when that boy gave his loaves to
the master to feed the whole crowd. Jesus helps me, namely, to
multiply love for the miracle to occur. I always need to offer you what
I have. Nothing more, but nothing less. You will multiply these few
or many gifts for the good of all. With humble simplicity. I offer
you my talents, aware that I have received them for others, I give
you the blessing that God, Father, will accompany you. Be in your
heart. Take care of you, make you strong, joyful and faithful,
may God, son, make you feel his tenderness and mercy and take away
from your heart any anxiety that can make you suffer that God, Holy Spirit,
makes you go through intelligence, strength in your heart renewed spirit and determination
to love with all your heart that Mario Most Holy will make you his father
' s warmth and his loving and tender embrace and let him take care of
you with his father' s heart, in the name of father and son
and holy spirit love
