Prayer of the heart Thursday of the eighth week of ordinary time. Holy Spirit
You are, the soul of my soul I humbly adore you enlighten me,
strengthen me, guide me, comfort me and, as it corresponds to the
eternal plan of the Father God, reveal to me your desires, Give me,
know what eternal love desires of me. I will know what I must
accomplish, Dame, know what I must suffer from recognizing what, with silent
modesty and in prayer, I must accept, carry and endure. Yeah.
Holy Spirit Give me, to know your will and the will of the Father,
for all my life I want to be nothing but a perpetual continuum.
Yes to the desires and eternal desire of the Father God, the eternal Father
God. Oy we celebrate Saint Ferdinand III, Holy King of Castile and Leon
and Saint Joan of Arc, the Gospel of Saint Mark, chapter ten verses
forty- six to fifty- two. At that time, while Jesus was
going out of the garden, accompanied by his disciples and a great crowd,
the son of Bartimaeus, a blind betigo, was sitting by the roadside.
When he learned that it was Jesus of Lazarez, he began to shout.
Son of David, Jesus have compassion on me. Many rebuked him to shut
up, but he screamed much more. Son of David have compassion on me.
Jesus stopped him and told him and to take the blind man to him,
saying encouragement, he called you up and he threw his robe from a
brico and came where Jesus was. Jesus addressing him told him what you want
me to do to you, and the blind man said rabuni that HE SEES
Jesus told him to leave your fete saved the shelf, regained his sight and
followed him along the way. Lord, as Bartimaeus I am blind, I
lack the light of faith and therefore stumble upon my sin. Selfishness closes my
eyes paralyzes me. That' s why I also yell at you loudly with
this prayer. Lord have compassion on my father, make him see that I
turn away from me indifference and comforted, moved by love, hope and faith
in the low of the blind, Bartimaeus cries out Jesus to be healed,
as long as the disciples scold him not to do so. There are Christians
who deal only with their relationship with Jesus. It' s a selfish closed
ration. That group of people also today do not hear the cry of many
that Jesus will need. A group of indifferent people do not listen believe that
life is their little group. They are happy, they are deaf to the
cry of so many people who need salvation, who need the help of Jesus,
who needs the Church. These people are selfish. He lives for himself.
They are unable to hear the voice of God. It is also the
group that listens to them in that cry that asks for help, but they
want to silence him, as when the disciples take the children away so that
they do not bother the teacher. In this group are entrepreneurs who are close
to Jesus. They are in the temple, they seem religious, but Jesus
expelled them because they did business there in the House of God. You remember
that Santa Ira, with whom the lord expels us. It is these who
do not want to hear the cry of help, but rather prefer to do
their business using the people of God, using the Church. These merchants take
people away from Jesus. They are Christians of name, Christian of living room,
raised of recitation, but their inner life is not Christian. It'
s bunara. One says he is a Christian and lives like a mundane.
It alienates those who cry out for help from Jesus. These are the words
of Pope Francis Bartimi. He has something and asked with all his might,
even shouting Jesus. I can' t move on because there was someone along
the way that I needed and who was doing the impossible and the possible to
be heard. Then he called him, and the blind man, wrinkling all
that was in his mantle, immediately put on his skin. Thus, we
are faced with a perfect lesson in comorting. First, one must ask with
existence, with force that the Christ come to help us and to do so
with the attitude of the blind beggar with humility. He called Jesus the son
of God, that is, the son of the Sea, the great king
of Israel and of himself. He said it was someone he had to feel
sorry for. Thus is the encounter of the creature with God. Then,
when God finds such a willing soul, he surrenders the flame and asks the
big question what you want him to ask you. Today we can ask ourselves
what I want God to do to me? What is the great desire that
burns my heart let us ask, but small and not great things. Let
' s ask them to increase sase to limits and suspect. Let us ask
to be great apostles, Let us ask to be holy. The blind one.
He knew how to ask for what he needed and to attend that meeting,
Salvador did not care to leave his mantle, his miserable mantle, because
thus, dismissed from everything, he would reach the grace he most longed for
in his heart. To pray the family participation of the Sunday Eucharist as the
most important moment of our day, leaving all things, if nothing could turn
Bartimaeus away from his desire to approach the Lord neither of what, nor what
they will say, nor the fact that what he asked for was something humanly
impossible to achieve. Lord let me also have that zeal that assurance give me
the grace to live with restlessness, with the thirst to participate in your dearness,
because faith is not something I can achieve. No matter how hard you
put it. Give him a gift, a gift that I must humbly and
constantly ask for my prayer. I am the blessing God, almighty bless you
with all kinds of heavenly goods so that you are holy and responsible in His
presence, pour out upon us the riches of His grace or instruct with the
word of truth and the gospel of salvation. Let the blessing of God,
almighty, father, son, and holy spirit, be rich in fraternal charity,
and let it always be amen.
