00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:06,160
Prayer of the heart. Wednesday of
the fifth week of Lent holy spirit.

2
00:00:06,759 --> 00:00:10,000
I believe in you I hope in
you I love you. Only you deserve

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,919
the worship of the human heart and
I must bow down to You alone.

4
00:00:15,039 --> 00:00:20,879
Only you are the glorious lord with
a beauty you can' t even imagine.

5
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,960
So, sir, let me have
anything else as if I were a

6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,120
god, because no being or anything
in this world is worth so much I

7
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:35,920
recognize you as master of my life. Don' t let him lose serenity

8
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,640
and joy for things that aren'
t worth that much. Today we celebrate

9
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:46,280
the solemnity of St Joseph, husband
of the Virgin Mary, the Gospel of

10
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:55,600
St Matter, chapter one verse from
now on, Jacob begat Joseph, He

11
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,719
expounded from Mary from which Jesus,
called Christ, was born. The generation

12
00:01:00,439 --> 00:01:06,040
of Jesus Christ was in this way. Mary, her mother, was married

13
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,920
to Joseph and before living together,
she let go that she was already expecting

14
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,159
a son by the Holy Spirit.
Joseph her husband, being righteous and unwilling

15
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:18,599
to defame her, decided to repudiate
her in private. But as soon as

16
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,719
he had taken this decision, he
thought in his dreams an angel of the

17
00:01:23,719 --> 00:01:26,480
lord who told him Joseph, son
of David, do not be afraid to

18
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,920
welcome Mary, your wife, because
the creature in her comes from the Holy

19
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,640
Spirit. Give birth to a son
and you will name him Jesus, for

20
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:41,079
he will save his people from their
sins. When Joseph woke up, he

21
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:47,280
did what he had commanded the angel
of the lord Joseph the will of God

22
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:52,519
was revealed to him during the rest. At this time he rested in being

23
00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:57,239
When we stop at our many daily
duties and activities, God also speaks to

24
00:01:57,239 --> 00:02:00,760
us. He speaks to us in
the height of Tabos, in our prayer

25
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:06,599
and witness and in the silence of
our heart. Rest in the lord.

26
00:02:07,359 --> 00:02:10,520
Rest is necessary for health to our
lies and bodies, although it is often

27
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,199
difficult to achieve because of the numerous
obligations they require upon us. But rest

28
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:22,199
is also essential for our spiritual health, so that we can hear God'

29
00:02:22,199 --> 00:02:25,759
s voice and understand what he asks
us to pray, is rest in God.

30
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,680
You might think you want to pray, but you have a lot of

31
00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:34,639
work you' ll surely say,
I have to take care of my children.

32
00:02:35,159 --> 00:02:38,479
In addition, there are household chores. I' m tired even to

33
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,240
sleep well and I' m sure
it will. But if we do not

34
00:02:43,879 --> 00:02:47,479
pray, we will not know the
most important thing of all, the will

35
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:53,039
of God upon us and despite all
our activity and beginning, without prayer we

36
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:59,439
will achieve very little rest in prayer. It is especially important for families,

37
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,680
from where we first learn to act
is in the family and do not forget

38
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,639
it. When the family prays,
it remains united. This is important.

39
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:14,159
There we get to know God grow
as men and women of faith to see

40
00:03:14,199 --> 00:03:15,840
us, as members of God’
s great family. The Church. The

41
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:21,960
life of St Joseph changed after listening
to the Angel' s message in which

42
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:28,319
attitude I hear this message in silence
Joseph slept, his senses were resting,

43
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,599
but at the same time he was
willing to hear the angel. What a

44
00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:34,800
lesson for mankind who lives in the
noise and has become the father of it

45
00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:38,840
every day. If we want to
be holy to live in happy peace,

46
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:44,919
we must avoid Joseph by reserving in
our day moments of silence to listen to

47
00:03:45,479 --> 00:03:49,719
and reach with the Lord An external
silence, yes, but also an interior

48
00:03:49,759 --> 00:03:55,240
silence, putting aside the pending worries
and commitments to rebreed with the Lord we

49
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,840
say that I do not speak to
us, we complain that we feel.

50
00:03:58,919 --> 00:04:02,840
Your help will not be that we
have not experienced that silence necessary to speak

51
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,080
to God. This passage is one
of the few that tells us about Saint

52
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:10,639
Joseph. His life, like that
of so many Christians, will take place

53
00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:15,280
in the midst of simplicity, ordinary
work, family relations, a humble life,

54
00:04:15,639 --> 00:04:19,439
away from the beacons of light.
In this way, with this solemnity,

55
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:26,759
the Church wishes to remind us that
we are all called to holiness in

56
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,120
the midst of ordinary life. Holiness
is not only for consecrated religious priests.

57
00:04:32,399 --> 00:04:36,360
Holiness is for everyone. Joseph was
a righteous man, patient, devoted,

58
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:43,040
loving of God and faithful servant of
him. One of his great virtues was

59
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,680
fidelity that led him to renounce his
own desires and projects. He thought that

60
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:54,040
life came to pass and God came
to change plans and what he did accepted

61
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,360
with such meditre and love that it
was impossible. Do not recognize it and

62
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,839
honor it, even take it as
an example of life, as a model

63
00:05:01,879 --> 00:05:05,240
of love, as a source of
inspiration. But it is that Sa José

64
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:11,160
had no problems. It would seem
that, unlike Santos, he did not

65
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,639
suffer from insomnia problems, Yes he
had and very big, since he had

66
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,079
to protect a little child who was
God to his Holy Mother. You doubted

67
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:29,519
and worried, but sleeping, sleeping
confidently, when you receive the most important

68
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,639
messages from God, warning you of
the request of the Riguerodes, you are

69
00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:39,000
told to be afraid and call and
unconditionally protect the child and avarice during sleep.

70
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:44,800
To Joseph it is revealed the role
of what father, what takes care

71
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,839
of Jesus and all men, and
his figure is constructed as a judge and

72
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,439
protector lawyer. The power of St
Joseph is astounding even in his sleep.

73
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,040
But when you cannot sleep, when
you see that the problems overcome you,

74
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,480
pray to St Joseph sleeping to get
her quiet, so that God will present

75
00:06:01,879 --> 00:06:05,360
himself in your dreams and indicate the
way forward. The Gospels tell us a

76
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:11,120
lot about him, forgiveness, do
not speak much about him and do not

77
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,519
speak his words, but it is
like a constant presence in the silence in

78
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,680
which he acts and that helps the
Lord to transform reality for his Glory.

79
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,279
Thank you, sir, for giving
your Church the figure of Saint Joseph,

80
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:26,480
the saint of ordinary life. Thank
you for teaching me that faith, obedience,

81
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,480
silence and work are not virtues difficult
to obtain or only destined for priests,

82
00:06:31,319 --> 00:06:35,079
but that they are virtues that we
can all reach with your grace and

83
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:41,040
with the effort of your blessing,
that the goodness and mercy of God,

84
00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:44,839
Father, fill your heart, that
the gaze of love of God, son

85
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,439
penetrates into your soul and purifies you
from any restlessness and lack that can separate

86
00:06:47,439 --> 00:06:50,639
you from God, that the love
of God, Holy Spirit, grant you

87
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,879
the peace you need, that the
tenderness of Mary, mother of God and

88
00:06:55,879 --> 00:06:59,600
our mother caress and protect you,
and that the strength was said of St

89
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,120
Joseph, our father, Lord Thee, lead to heaven and the blessing of

90
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:10,480
God, father, son and Holy
Spirit, descends upon you and remains always amen
