00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:06,919
Prayer of the heart Tuesday of the
second week of Easter. Oh, Holy

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:11,960
Spirit Love of father and son,
inspire me what I must think, what

3
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,599
I must say, as I must
say, what I must silence, how

4
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,719
I must act, what I must
do for the Glory of God and good

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,359
of the Souls and my own sanctification. Holy Spirit Give me. Accuracy to

6
00:00:24,399 --> 00:00:29,960
understand, ability, to retain,
method and faculty to learn, subtlety to

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,439
interpret, grace, effectiveness to speak, Give me right, at the beginning,

8
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:40,079
direction, as progress and perfect,
finish amen. Today we celebrate St

9
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,479
King of Toledo the Gospel of St
John, chapter three verses, five from

10
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,719
now on. At that time Jesus
said to Nicodebo, you must be born

11
00:00:49,799 --> 00:00:54,560
again the wind blows where it wants
its noise, but you don' t

12
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:55,679
know where it comes from, where
it' s coming from. Thus,

13
00:00:56,439 --> 00:01:00,520
everyone who has been born is in
everyone who has been born of him spirit

14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,880
and nicodemus asked how it can happen. That' s what he said.

15
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,760
Jesus, you are a teacher in
Israel, and you don' t really

16
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,719
understand it. I' m telling
you. We speak of what we know

17
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,640
and bear witness to what we have
seen, but you do not receive their

18
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,159
testimony. If I speak to you
of earthly things and you do not believe

19
00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:19,159
me, how do you believe if
I speak to you of heavenly things?

20
00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:23,120
No one has ascended into heaven,
but the one who came down from heaven,

21
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,239
the son of man, the same
thing that Moses lifted up to the

22
00:01:27,239 --> 00:01:30,120
serpent in the wilderness. Thus also
must the son of man be raised up

23
00:01:30,599 --> 00:01:38,519
so that everyone who believes in him
may have everlasting life. We do not

24
00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:44,519
understand well, but we understand what
Jesus tells us in the Gospel. Jesus

25
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:51,560
tells the Jews when you have raised
up the son of man, then you

26
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,040
know that I am in the wilderness. Therefore, sin has been elevated to

27
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,799
the high, but it is a
sin that seeks salvation, because it heals

28
00:01:57,879 --> 00:02:02,359
there. He who is elevated is
the son of man, the true Savior

29
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:08,599
Jesus Christ. Christianity is not a
philosophical doctrine, It is not a program

30
00:02:08,719 --> 00:02:14,639
of life to survive, not to
be educated, to make spaces and much

31
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,120
less a monoal cast to live.
You' re on the consequences. Christianity

32
00:02:17,159 --> 00:02:23,639
is a capital person, a person
raised on the cross, a person who

33
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:29,039
annihilated himself to save us has made
sin and just as the desert has been

34
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,879
elevated to sin here that has risen
to God, made man, made sin

35
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:39,879
for us and all our sins were
there. Christianity is not understood without understanding

36
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:45,199
this profound humiliation of the son of
God, who humbled himself, becoming a

37
00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:51,879
servant to death and dead on the
cross to serve. Jesus wished for the

38
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,919
rich demo that was a faithful witness
to the heavenly things you are God and

39
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,960
know better than others our intimate inspirations. So it turned out he was going

40
00:03:01,039 --> 00:03:05,400
to a doctor of the law.
Jesus recalls the episode of the bronze serpent.

41
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,159
During a long journey in Egypt to
the Promised Land, the Hebrews rebelled

42
00:03:09,199 --> 00:03:14,759
against God. And a calamity of
life. Some snake scared them and ten

43
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,960
bad people. The people ask forgiveness
and God orders to make a bronze serpent,

44
00:03:20,479 --> 00:03:23,400
lift it up on a staff and
look at it all. Those who

45
00:03:23,479 --> 00:03:30,039
had eaten or contemplated their gaze would
have been saved. Such an episode heralded

46
00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:34,719
the redemption of man and Jesus,
he lomosó nicodemo he who looks at the

47
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,599
son of man and believes in him
will have eternal life. In a way,

48
00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:46,240
we too must continue our journey in
this world in the footsteps of Christ,

49
00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:51,719
because he who shows faith in Christ
by his conduct is destined to be

50
00:03:51,759 --> 00:03:55,840
seen by all. It is necessary
for the salvation of those who desire it,

51
00:03:57,759 --> 00:04:01,039
in order to lift us up like
the serpent of gold and sign and

52
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:06,520
to be a sign like that of
Christ with the actrist swears the world of

53
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,039
his diseases. The flesh is not
enough, it is saying, the natural

54
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,480
possibilities of man and our poor forces
are enough, but we must be willing

55
00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:19,600
to accept the breath and grace of
the spirit that suggests to us the way

56
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:26,000
of Christ. On various occasions we
will not show ourselves Christians to be seen

57
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,399
and to be an example for our
conduct. But it is true that a

58
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,199
Christian who lives his ugly and coherently, is seen, noticed and often produces

59
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:43,279
restlessness and even rejection. A priest
dressed in his clariman, a religious woman

60
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,319
with his habit, a pregnant woman, a family of more than three children,

61
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:53,720
an official who lets us bribe a
punctual employee is his smiling work,

62
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:59,000
could put a long, etcetera.
Where you can include yourself are in many

63
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:05,000
countries and cities looked at and considered
as a disconcerting way, even rejected.

64
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,959
But that is not why I am
going to stop manifesting what I think and

65
00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:14,800
believe today, when the opportunity arises, speaks about Christ, asking the Holy

66
00:05:14,879 --> 00:05:20,879
Spirit to enlighten you Jesus help me
to rediscover the vocation I have received in

67
00:05:20,879 --> 00:05:26,879
baptism and give me the strength to
be a true witness of your resurrection.

68
00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:34,360
Holy Spirit take me away from the
fire of your love, for it can

69
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:38,600
only be an instrument of salvation for
others. If I let myself be molded

70
00:05:38,959 --> 00:05:42,519
by you in prayer, I give
you the blessing. God, Father,

71
00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:46,600
come with you in your heart,
take care of you, make you strong,

72
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,720
I will make you faithful that God, children, makes you feel sweet

73
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:55,160
in mercy and removes from your heart, any anxiety that can make you suffer

74
00:05:55,079 --> 00:06:00,600
that God, Holy Spirit of lights, intelligence, strength in your heart and

75
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,399
renewed spirit and determination to love with
all your heart that Mary Most Holy,

76
00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:09,800
will make you feel her mother'
s warmth and her loving and tender embrace

77
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,920
and come out Joseph will take care
of you with his father' s heart,

78
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,079
in the name of the father and
son and of the Holy Spirit amen
