Prayer of the heart. Tenth Monday this week of writing for money. See
Holy Spirit so that I can find wisdom in the midst of my limits and
discomfort and tiredness, because the sun that sets is as beautiful as 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 midst
of my problems. Come Holy Spirit teach me to live, because many times
I can only look at what worries me, what I lack, what I
dislike, as if nothing else was done. Here we celebrate the memory of
St Mary Magdalene, the Gospel of St John, chapter among twenty verses one
from now on. On the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went
to the tomb at dawn when one was in the dark and saw a slab
removed from the tomb, made to run and went where Simon Peter and the
other disciple, whom Jesus loved and told have been taken away to my lord
and we do not know where they have put him. Mary was standing by
the tomb, crying outside. As he wept, he looked at the tomb
and saw two angels dressed in white, sitting one at the head and one
at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been. They ask you,
woman, why you cry and answer them because they have taken my lord
and I do not know where they have put him. That said, he
turns around and sees Jesus standing, but he did not know it was Jesus.
And Jesus tells her woman, why you cry, who you seek.
And she, taking the color telano, said to him, Sir, if
you have taken him, tell me where you have put him and I will
pick him up. And Jesus tells her Mary. She turns to him and
tells him u u o rabuni, which means master. And Jesus tells him
to let me go that he is not yet fled to a thousand fathers,
go and tell my brothers, I go up to my father and your Father,
my God and your God. Mary van Arena went and announced to the
disciples. I have seen the Lord and he has told me this commented Pope
Francis. In this way, the Gospel Mary Magdalene weeps, but does not
recognize it. He realizes that it is Jesus Only when he calls her by
name, the depressed disciples of je de mous and consents to defeat, will
he come to meet Jesus, leaving himself to be accompanied by a mysterious orpiandante
each by different ways sought among the dead the one who is alive and it
was the same Lord who corrected a course and I what I do, what
path I follow to find myself a living Christ. He will always be close
to us to correct the course. If we' ve made a mistake,
why are you looking among the morts that he' s alive? This question
makes us overcome the temptation to look back on what was yesterday and pushes us
towards the future. Jesus is not in the tomb. He is the risen,
the living, the one who is always, the one who always renews
his body with which he is the Church and makes him walk by drawing him
to him. Yesterday is the tomb of Jesus and the tomb of the Church,
the tomb of truth and justice. Today it is the perennial resurrection to
which he imposes us with holy spirit that gives us full freedom. Authentic love
asks eternity to love another person, it is to tell him you will never
die, as Gabriel Marcel says. Hence the fear of losing that loved one.
Maria Madalena could not believe in the death of the master invaded by a
punctuated deed. He approaches the sepulchre before the question of the margins, he
is not able to admire himself. Yes, death is dramatic. It touches
us strongly without the risen Jesus, it would be meaningless woman, why you
will cry, whom you seek How many times Christ sets himself before us and
repeats us with the same questions. Mary didn' t understand, she wasn
' t able to recognize him. Thus are the moments of struggle, darkness
and difficulty, Mary, it is then when to hear her name, open
her eyes and discover Master Rabuni. We have become accustomed to thinking that resurrection
is only one thing that awaits us on the other side of death. And
no one thinks that the resolution is also to enter life more than the resurrection
is something that God gives us all who ask it, provided that after asking
for it, they continue to struggle to suck up the Church every day.
The Church offers to men the Gospel, a prophetic document that responds to the
demands and aspirations of the human heart and that always good news the Church cannot
fail to proclaim that Jesus came to reveal the face of God and reach me
enters the cross and the absurrection, the salvation of all men, says St
John Palo II. In the limiting situations one learns to confess the simple realities
that seem to make life impossible. Everything then acquires smoke, courage and a
sense of gratitude. The preface of the mass of oim uses it to wash
God and synthesizes the life itinerary of Mary Magdalene. There we read that the
risen Christ appeared visibly to Mary Magdalene in the garden, because she loved him
in life or I died on the cross, she looked for him already accents
in the tomb and, therefore, was the first to worship him after raising
him within the dead. The text concludes that this path resulted in God honoring
her with the mission of being an apostle apostle, apostle of the apostles,
so that the good news of the new life could reach the ends of the
world. If you want to meet a person, don' t ask him
what I think, but what he loves that well- known bold phrase to
St Augustine Primiti we realize that Mary Magdalene knows everything. Perhaps we do not
know many features of her biography, except that Jesus had expelled seven demons from
her. But the fundamentals we discovered in the crucial days before the Lord'
s life He did not separate himself from him either from the cross or in
the tomb. Therefore, God united her to her forever in the happy occasion
of the resurrection, and she is still suggestive that the only woman who shares
and overcomes, the only woman who seems to overcome other features of the Magdalene,
bears the same name Mary, the mother of Jesus. Indeed, these
two women were chosen by the Lord for a concrete mission, to love living,
to live loving and to leave the fire of those hearts marked the path
for all who sold. Then he made the lord cry out Mary. This
must be our attitude of gratitude for seeing the Lord because he has manifested his
love to us as Mary has called us by our name to announce the joy
of the resurrection to all men. Let us go and tell our brothers,
like Mary Magdalene, what we have seen and heard, this is what it
means to be Christians, to be sent, to be apostles of truth prays.
Thus, Jesus knows the love that Mary Madalena experienced fills me with comfort.
She loved you and was faithful in Calvary. He stood firm in his
mission to prepare with energy and conviction the proclamation of your resurrection and was able
to love, so because he felt loved, welcomed, protected, by you
to see beyond weakness. Thank you, Mr Porto. Love. I know
that you love me in the same way and I hope to correspond to such
immense love. Help me to grow in love I give the blessing that God
seems to accompany in your heart. Take care of you, make you strong,
joyful and faithful, may God, son, make you feel his tenderness
and mercy and remove from your heart any anxiety that can make you suffer that
God, Holy Spirit, you delude in intelligence, strength in your heart renewed
spirit and determination to love with all your heart that Mary Most Holy makes you
feel her mother' s warmth and her loving and tender arm and St Joseph
takes care of you with his father' s heart in the name of father
and son and Holy Spirit Amen
