Prayer of the heart Thursday of the ninth week of Ordinary Time. Holy Spirit,
You who make everything clear to me, who illuminate all the ways for
me to reach my ideal, You who give me the divine dun to forgive
and forget the evil that they do to me and that in all the moments
of my life you are with me. I want, in this short dialogue,
to thank you for everything and to confirm that I never want to separate
myself from you, however much it may be the material illusion. I want
to be with you and all my beings and all my loved ones in the
perpetual wheel. Thank you for your mercy to me and mine. Thank you,
my God. Today we celebrate Saint Marcellin of Champagnac, co- founder
of the Congregation of the Marist Brothers, The Gospel Saint Mark, chapter twelve
verses twenty- eight to thirty- four. At that time, a scribe
approached Jesus and asked me what commandment is the first of all. Jesus answered.
The first is listening to Israel. Lord Our God is the only Lord.
Thou shalt love the Lord Thy God, with all thy heart, with
all thy soul, with all thy mind, with thy self. The second
is this you will love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater
than these. The dodger replied very well. Master you are right when you
say that the Lord is one and there is no one other than Him,
and that loving Him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with
all your being and loving your neighbor as yourself is worth more than all holocausts
and sacrifices. Jesus saw that he had answered. He was exactly told you
are not far away from God’ s Kingdom and no one dared ask him
any more questions. Lord Jesus, I am here with you to dialogue.
I like to be at your side and to please you and to do so
I want to love you and to live charity with my neighbors, since you
ask me not only to love you, but also to love your neighbor.
That is why I thank you, Jesus, my friend, for you have
made me realize the primacy of love in my life, love for You and
love for my neighbor. I' m only asking you to teach me to
love as you have loved me. Teach me to love in my neighbor and
to have a friendship with him, just as I have with you to know
God, our God, the reason is insufficient. God is fully known in
the encounter with him and for the encounter with him, reason is not enough.
We need something else. God is love and only by the way of
love can you know God reasonable love, accompanied by reason, but love,
but how can I love what I do not know Love those who have near
and this is the doctrine of the two commandments. The most important is to
love God because you are love. But the second is to love one'
s neighbor. But to reach the first, we must climb the steps of
the second, that is, through love of neighbor we come to commit to
God. I repeat, through love of neighbor we come to know God who
is love. Only by loving reasonably, but loving can we come to that
love. That is why we must love one another, because love belongs to
God and the one who loves has been rekindled by God to know God must
love. Thanks to the lawyer’ s question, we know which of the
numerous standards the Jews had more than six hundred gave them the most importance.
Jesus. The answer makes us wait and responds clearly to love Lord You,
God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself. Not without reason.
Pope Benedict sixteen stressed the urgent need to defend the right to life of those
born, the elderly, the sick and the whole of man on that earth,
because they too are our next and as such we must respect and love
them. It is therefore worth recalling that, before we go to communion,
we are invited to give peace to those next to us. As the representative
of everyone we' ll find at the time of the day. Let us
take a science, therefore, that we receive the Christ model of how to
love and give ourselves to our brothers, a model of how we should give
ourselves to others and be broken bread to them. The Holy Father has mentioned
to us that we must be completely filled with the love of God. This
can be achieved, since St Paul gives us a great example when he says
I am not the one who lives. It is Christ who lives in me
that is true. All who are with Jesus and know how to love him,
like the next, can look like Jesus who always shows us great love,
a great example of love for the father and others. Therefore, on
this day, Christ wants to invite us closer to the kingdom of heaven,
knowing how to love Him with everything through the Projimo. Today he lives try,
live charity with the Projimo and prays to a father of ours for all
those who seek to be loved by God for him to take care of them.
And I give you the blessing, Lord Jesus, may the goodness of
God' s mercy, Father, fill you in the heart, may the
gaze on the love of God, Son, also be in your soul and
purify you from any uneasiness and lack that can separate you from God, may
the love of God the Holy Spirit grant you the peace you need and may
the tenderness of Mary, Mother of God, and our mother caress and protect
you and may the strength be decided by Saint Joseph. Let us separate Lord
You, lead to heaven and the blessing of God, almighty father, son
and holy spirit come upon you and accompany you always amen
