1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:05,879
Prayer of the heart. Monday of
the seventh week of Ordinary Time. Blessed,

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,919
Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, help me my holy spirit so

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,839
that I can look to others with
your senator eyes, I want to recognize

4
00:00:15,919 --> 00:00:20,120
your love for all human beings,
also for those people that I cannot love

5
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:25,640
with patience and compassion, all those
important to the loving heart of Jesus all

6
00:00:25,719 --> 00:00:29,879
sacred and valuable. No one has
been born by chance, but it is

7
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:33,679
an eternal project of your love.
Free me from condemning and prejudging others.

8
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:39,159
I would like to imagine their sufferings, their distresses, those weaknesses that,

9
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:45,560
after overcoming, help me always find
some excuse to excuse them and not to

10
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,960
look at them with bad eyes.
Give me all the patience I need.

11
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:58,119
Come holy spirit. Today we celebrate
St Bernardine of Siena, the Gospel of

12
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,320
St John, Chapter nineteen verses NS, twenty- five and thirty- four.

13
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:04,879
At that time, next to the
Cross of Jesus were his mother,

14
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,480
his mother' s sister, Mary
of Clofas, and Mary the Magdalene.

15
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:12,959
“ Jesus, seeing his mother and
beside her the disciple turned away,”

16
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,159
his mother woman said,“ there
you have your son” And then the

17
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,519
disciple said. There' s your
mother. And from that hour the disciple

18
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:27,280
received it as his own. After
this, Jesus knowing that all was fulfilled

19
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:34,040
so that the scripture would be fulfilled, said I thirst there was a jar

20
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:40,519
full of vinegar there and holding a
sponge soaked in vinegar to an isopus reed

21
00:01:40,599 --> 00:01:47,000
brought it to his mouth. Jesus, when he met the miracle, said

22
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,239
he is fulfilled and bowing his head, gave up the spirit the Jews.

23
00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:55,439
Then, as it was the day
of preparation, so that the bodies would

24
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,000
not remain on the cross of the
Sabbath, for that Sabbath was a great

25
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,439
day, and they asked Pilatu and
they would break their legs and take them

26
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:07,639
away. It was Saturdays. He
knows the soldiers broke the legs of the

27
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:12,599
first Bloo, another who had crucified
with him for reaching Jesus, seeing that

28
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,919
he was already dead. His legs
were not burned, but one of the

29
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:21,840
soldiers with the spear carried him to
the side, and blood and water came

30
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:27,520
to the point. The generation given
to the mother of God by the Church

31
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,400
in the present times, In the
light of reflection on the mystery of Christ

32
00:02:30,479 --> 00:02:37,000
and his own nature, could not
or could not forget the figure of that

33
00:02:37,039 --> 00:02:40,479
woman, the Virgin Mary, who
is the mother of Christ and at the

34
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,759
same time mother of the Church.
This was already in some way present in

35
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,120
the faith of the Christian people,
as seen in the premonitory words of St

36
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:53,800
Augustine and those of Leo the Great. The first says that Mary is the

37
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,280
mother of the members of Christ because
she has cooperated with her charity in the

38
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,759
regeneration of the faithful of the Church. The other saying that the birth of

39
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:06,479
the head is also the birth of
the body, indicates that Mary is gone

40
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,759
time, mother of Christ, son
of God and mother of the bodies of

41
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,759
his mystical body, that is,
the Church. Indeed, Mary, who

42
00:03:15,039 --> 00:03:17,719
stood by the Cross, accepted the
will of her son' s love and

43
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:23,840
welcomed all men personified to St John
as sons to regenerate the divine life,

44
00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:28,400
becoming mother of the church that Christ
has begotten on the Cross, giving in

45
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:34,000
to the spirit. In turn,
the beloved disciple Christ chooses all disciples as

46
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:39,240
heirs of his love. She makes
the mother, entrusting her to receive her

47
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:45,840
with filial affection. Mary took care
of the rising church, set up her

48
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,719
maternal mission, praying with the apostles
waiting for the avenue of the Holy Spirit.

49
00:03:50,639 --> 00:03:53,599
With this feeling, the Christian people
honored Mary the accusation of the centuries

50
00:03:53,680 --> 00:04:00,000
with the titles that in some way
equals ple de ur valentes, of mother

51
00:04:00,039 --> 00:04:03,719
of the disciples, of the faithful, of the believers, of all those

52
00:04:03,719 --> 00:04:08,280
who are born in Christ and also
mother of the Church, as appears in

53
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:14,280
the Magisterium of Benedict XIV and Leo
XIII. From all this it is clear

54
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,920
that on what Saint Paul is founded. This is the twenty- first of

55
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,240
November of the year sixty- four, as a contest of the third session,

56
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:28,079
the cooked Vatican II, to declare
to the biennial of Virgin Mary the

57
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,519
mother of the Church, that is, mother of all the people of God,

58
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:39,439
both of the faithful and of the
pastors who call her Loving Mother,

59
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,759
and established that from now on,
the Mother of God should be honored by

60
00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:46,959
all the Christian. With this most
pleasant title, making is the sense of

61
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,759
the Christian people of the thousand years
of history had taken in a different way

62
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,639
the maternal filial bond that closely to
the riscipals of Christ with his most holy

63
00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:00,639
mother. Such a bond gives explicit
testimony of the Evangelist John when he speaks

64
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,720
of the will that Jesus died in
Veracruz after having given his mother to the

65
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,240
disciples and their mother, knowing that
all was already fulfilled. When Jesus died,

66
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,800
he gave his spirit for the life
of the Church. His mystical body,

67
00:05:15,439 --> 00:05:18,959
because the side of Christ asleep on
the Cross was born the admirable sacrament

68
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:24,800
of the whole igris in the passion
of the Lord The water and blood that

69
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,480
sprang from his merciful heart on the
Cross, a sign of the fulfillment of

70
00:05:29,959 --> 00:05:36,000
his redeemer, continue sacramentally to give
life in the Church through baptism and the

71
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:42,439
Eucharist. Mary continues to carry out
her mission as a mother in this admirable

72
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,560
union that will always grow between the
redeemer and the redeemed. This celebration of

73
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,959
Mary, Mother of the Church,
will help us to remember that the growth

74
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:56,680
of Christian life must be based on
the mystery of the Cross, on the

75
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,800
offering of Christ, on the humbalistic
banquet and on offering to the mother of

76
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:06,360
the redeemer and Christians. The Church, the wife of Christ, sees Mary

77
00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:12,480
as her model. She also finished
without spot or wrinkle and yet need purification

78
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,879
in her members, because we are
sinners. That is why he tries to

79
00:06:17,959 --> 00:06:24,519
imitate and follow the paths of his
mother and example. The Church contemplating the

80
00:06:24,519 --> 00:06:30,319
archaic holiness of Our Lady and imitating
her charity and compressing, faithfully fulfilling the

81
00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:33,639
Father' s will to accept with
officiality the word of God. She too

82
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:39,639
becomes a bus mother with preaching and
baptism breeds for the new and immortal life

83
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:45,639
children conceived of the Holy Spirit and
born of God. She, too,

84
00:06:45,959 --> 00:06:49,720
is the virgin who keeps the bride' s sidewalk whole and pure, inviting

85
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,839
the sleepy mother by the habitude of
the Holy Spirit. It originally preserves whole

86
00:06:54,959 --> 00:07:00,079
faith, firm hope and sincere charity. The Church and the world need our

87
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:05,360
personal holiness. Original sin has been
forgiven us in baptism, but its consequences

88
00:07:05,439 --> 00:07:11,279
remain alive in our soul and clumsy
mistakes, easy to vigate evil, difficult

89
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,879
to do good. And yet we
have no right to be discouraged, because

90
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:24,240
we have God’ s hypotent reason. Open to Joseph Mary and the intercession

91
00:07:24,279 --> 00:07:29,959
of Saint Mary to us to play
only to fight without fainting and to begin

92
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,360
how many times it is necessary.
Son, you must think of your life

93
00:07:32,399 --> 00:07:38,519
and ask forgiveness in the sight of
your poor life to ask forgiveness and do

94
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:43,800
the firm, firm, firm,
concrete purpose, determined to improve in this

95
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,720
and in that, in that which
costs you, in that which you usually

96
00:07:46,759 --> 00:07:53,920
do as you should, you do
not do as you should and you know

97
00:07:53,959 --> 00:07:58,160
it once we can feel especially alive
with all the taste of that sad inheritance

98
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:03,800
of Adam. Perhaps then one'
s love will bring us to discouragement,

99
00:08:03,959 --> 00:08:09,720
presenting holiness to us as an inaccessible
goal, trying to fill the soul with

100
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:15,120
anxiety for our sins, a restlessness
that is not that God, because it

101
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,279
does not lead to humility and peace. It would then be time to turn

102
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:24,199
more confidently than ever to Mary to
take refuge in her immaculate holiness. All

103
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:28,040
the sins of your life. It
looks like they' re standing up Don

104
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,600
' t be suspicious. On the
contrary, call your mother, Saint Mary,

105
00:08:31,919 --> 00:08:37,440
with faith and abandonment of the child. She will bring to your soul

106
00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:43,639
the protection of a wicked virgin,
who is a most stale mother, never

107
00:08:43,639 --> 00:08:48,759
to let go, for great are
our sorrows. If I were a leper,

108
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,240
my mother would hug me and feel
that we are reprehensible and without fear,

109
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,759
I would kiss my wounds then,
and the Blessed Virgin. While you

110
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:05,000
paint we are bondors, everything has
remedy and the feeling that we are lepers,

111
00:09:07,159 --> 00:09:11,080
that we are arrived ras and scream
mother, and the protection of our

112
00:09:11,159 --> 00:09:13,679
mother is like a kiss in the
wounds to have much devotion to her.

113
00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:18,840
Always trust her and when you find
yourself in a moment of trouble pray to

114
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,080
her, invoke her help. Support
her, she' s a safe hold

115
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:28,039
and you' ll stand firm.
The holiness of the virgins, therefore,

116
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,919
is that of Christ, the richest
treasure that the Church keeps in its abundance.

117
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,120
We live Saint, the member of
the mystical body of Christ. Contemplating

118
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,279
Mary, she strengthens our faith in
the Church, which is always holy.

119
00:09:39,799 --> 00:09:45,919
Despite our personal miseries. The immaculate
virgin is much more than an exalted member

120
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:52,799
of the Church, her ferbidity to
her son, he also spiritually begets Christians

121
00:09:52,799 --> 00:09:56,279
to the life of grace, and
it is therefore our mother all the blessing

122
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,799
God who, by his abundance,
is redeeming the human race through the materiality

123
00:10:00,879 --> 00:10:05,200
of the Virgin Mary, pouring out
his abundant blessing that you experience always and

124
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,960
everywhere, the position of the Virgin
Mary, because you received is the author

125
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:16,639
of life and all of you gathered
to speed up love. This party of

126
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,080
his honor is a fine one.
You discern the gifts of spiritual cutting and

127
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,200
inner primes and the blessing of God, almighty father, son, and holy

128
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,879
spirit, tizzard upon us, and
abide always amen.
