Prayer of the heart. Wednesday of the fifth week of Lent holy spirit.
I believe in you I hope in you I love you. Only you deserve
the worship of the human heart and I must bow down to You alone.
Only you are the glorious lord with a beauty you can' t even imagine.
So, sir, let me have anything else as if I were a
god, because no being or anything in this world is worth so much I
recognize you as master of my life. Don' t let him lose serenity
and joy for things that aren' t worth that much. Today we celebrate
the solemnity of St Joseph, husband of the Virgin Mary, the Gospel of
St Matter, chapter one verse from now on, Jacob begat Joseph, He
expounded from Mary from which Jesus, called Christ, was born. The generation
of Jesus Christ was in this way. Mary, her mother, was married
to Joseph and before living together, she let go that she was already expecting
a son by the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, being righteous and unwilling
to defame her, decided to repudiate her in private. But as soon as
he had taken this decision, he thought in his dreams an angel of the
lord who told him Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to
welcome Mary, your wife, because the creature in her comes from the Holy
Spirit. Give birth to a son and you will name him Jesus, for
he will save his people from their sins. When Joseph woke up, he
did what he had commanded the angel of the lord Joseph the will of God
was revealed to him during the rest. At this time he rested in being
When we stop at our many daily duties and activities, God also speaks to
us. He speaks to us in the height of Tabos, in our prayer
and witness and in the silence of our heart. Rest in the lord.
Rest is necessary for health to our lies and bodies, although it is often
difficult to achieve because of the numerous obligations they require upon us. But rest
is also essential for our spiritual health, so that we can hear God'
s voice and understand what he asks us to pray, is rest in God.
You might think you want to pray, but you have a lot of
work you' ll surely say, I have to take care of my children.
In addition, there are household chores. I' m tired even to
sleep well and I' m sure it will. But if we do not
pray, we will not know the most important thing of all, the will
of God upon us and despite all our activity and beginning, without prayer we
will achieve very little rest in prayer. It is especially important for families,
from where we first learn to act is in the family and do not forget
it. When the family prays, it remains united. This is important.
There we get to know God grow as men and women of faith to see
us, as members of God’ s great family. The Church. The
life of St Joseph changed after listening to the Angel' s message in which
attitude I hear this message in silence Joseph slept, his senses were resting,
but at the same time he was willing to hear the angel. What a
lesson for mankind who lives in the noise and has become the father of it
every day. If we want to be holy to live in happy peace,
we must avoid Joseph by reserving in our day moments of silence to listen to
and reach with the Lord An external silence, yes, but also an interior
silence, putting aside the pending worries and commitments to rebreed with the Lord we
say that I do not speak to us, we complain that we feel.
Your help will not be that we have not experienced that silence necessary to speak
to God. This passage is one of the few that tells us about Saint
Joseph. His life, like that of so many Christians, will take place
in the midst of simplicity, ordinary work, family relations, a humble life,
away from the beacons of light. In this way, with this solemnity,
the Church wishes to remind us that we are all called to holiness in
the midst of ordinary life. Holiness is not only for consecrated religious priests.
Holiness is for everyone. Joseph was a righteous man, patient, devoted,
loving of God and faithful servant of him. One of his great virtues was
fidelity that led him to renounce his own desires and projects. He thought that
life came to pass and God came to change plans and what he did accepted
with such meditre and love that it was impossible. Do not recognize it and
honor it, even take it as an example of life, as a model
of love, as a source of inspiration. But it is that Sa José
had no problems. It would seem that, unlike Santos, he did not
suffer from insomnia problems, Yes he had and very big, since he had
to protect a little child who was God to his Holy Mother. You doubted
and worried, but sleeping, sleeping confidently, when you receive the most important
messages from God, warning you of the request of the Riguerodes, you are
told to be afraid and call and unconditionally protect the child and avarice during sleep.
To Joseph it is revealed the role of what father, what takes care
of Jesus and all men, and his figure is constructed as a judge and
protector lawyer. The power of St Joseph is astounding even in his sleep.
But when you cannot sleep, when you see that the problems overcome you,
pray to St Joseph sleeping to get her quiet, so that God will present
himself in your dreams and indicate the way forward. The Gospels tell us a
lot about him, forgiveness, do not speak much about him and do not
speak his words, but it is like a constant presence in the silence in
which he acts and that helps the Lord to transform reality for his Glory.
Thank you, sir, for giving your Church the figure of Saint Joseph,
the saint of ordinary life. Thank you for teaching me that faith, obedience,
silence and work are not virtues difficult to obtain or only destined for priests,
but that they are virtues that we can all reach with your grace and
with the effort of your blessing, that the goodness and mercy of God,
Father, fill your heart, that the gaze of love of God, son
penetrates into your soul and purifies you from any restlessness and lack that can separate
you from God, that the love of God, Holy Spirit, grant you
the peace you need, that the tenderness of Mary, mother of God and
our mother caress and protect you, and that the strength was said of St
Joseph, our father, Lord Thee, lead to heaven and the blessing of
God, father, son and Holy Spirit, descends upon you and remains always amen
