Prayer of the heart Tuesday of the second week of Easter. Oh, Holy
Spirit Love of father and son, inspire me what I must think, what
I must say, as I must say, what I must silence, how
I must act, what I must do for the Glory of God and good
of the Souls and my own sanctification. Holy Spirit Give me. Accuracy to
understand, ability, to retain, method and faculty to learn, subtlety to
interpret, grace, effectiveness to speak, Give me right, at the beginning,
direction, as progress and perfect, finish amen. Today we celebrate St
King of Toledo the Gospel of St John, chapter three verses, five from
now on. At that time Jesus said to Nicodebo, you must be born
again the wind blows where it wants its noise, but you don' t
know where it comes from, where it' s coming from. Thus,
everyone who has been born is in everyone who has been born of him spirit
and nicodemus asked how it can happen. That' s what he said.
Jesus, you are a teacher in Israel, and you don' t really
understand it. I' m telling you. We speak of what we know
and bear witness to what we have seen, but you do not receive their
testimony. If I speak to you of earthly things and you do not believe
me, how do you believe if I speak to you of heavenly things?
No one has ascended into heaven, but the one who came down from heaven,
the son of man, the same thing that Moses lifted up to the
serpent in the wilderness. Thus also must the son of man be raised up
so that everyone who believes in him may have everlasting life. We do not
understand well, but we understand what Jesus tells us in the Gospel. Jesus
tells the Jews when you have raised up the son of man, then you
know that I am in the wilderness. Therefore, sin has been elevated to
the high, but it is a sin that seeks salvation, because it heals
there. He who is elevated is the son of man, the true Savior
Jesus Christ. Christianity is not a philosophical doctrine, It is not a program
of life to survive, not to be educated, to make spaces and much
less a monoal cast to live. You' re on the consequences. Christianity
is a capital person, a person raised on the cross, a person who
annihilated himself to save us has made sin and just as the desert has been
elevated to sin here that has risen to God, made man, made sin
for us and all our sins were there. Christianity is not understood without understanding
this profound humiliation of the son of God, who humbled himself, becoming a
servant to death and dead on the cross to serve. Jesus wished for the
rich demo that was a faithful witness to the heavenly things you are God and
know better than others our intimate inspirations. So it turned out he was going
to a doctor of the law. Jesus recalls the episode of the bronze serpent.
During a long journey in Egypt to the Promised Land, the Hebrews rebelled
against God. And a calamity of life. Some snake scared them and ten
bad people. The people ask forgiveness and God orders to make a bronze serpent,
lift it up on a staff and look at it all. Those who
had eaten or contemplated their gaze would have been saved. Such an episode heralded
the redemption of man and Jesus, he lomosó nicodemo he who looks at the
son of man and believes in him will have eternal life. In a way,
we too must continue our journey in this world in the footsteps of Christ,
because he who shows faith in Christ by his conduct is destined to be
seen by all. It is necessary for the salvation of those who desire it,
in order to lift us up like the serpent of gold and sign and
to be a sign like that of Christ with the actrist swears the world of
his diseases. The flesh is not enough, it is saying, the natural
possibilities of man and our poor forces are enough, but we must be willing
to accept the breath and grace of the spirit that suggests to us the way
of Christ. On various occasions we will not show ourselves Christians to be seen
and to be an example for our conduct. But it is true that a
Christian who lives his ugly and coherently, is seen, noticed and often produces
restlessness and even rejection. A priest dressed in his clariman, a religious woman
with his habit, a pregnant woman, a family of more than three children,
an official who lets us bribe a punctual employee is his smiling work,
could put a long, etcetera. Where you can include yourself are in many
countries and cities looked at and considered as a disconcerting way, even rejected.
But that is not why I am going to stop manifesting what I think and
believe today, when the opportunity arises, speaks about Christ, asking the Holy
Spirit to enlighten you Jesus help me to rediscover the vocation I have received in
baptism and give me the strength to be a true witness of your resurrection.
Holy Spirit take me away from the fire of your love, for it can
only be an instrument of salvation for others. If I let myself be molded
by you in prayer, I give you the blessing. God, Father,
come with you in your heart, take care of you, make you strong,
I will make you faithful that God, children, makes you feel sweet
in mercy and removes from your heart, any anxiety that can make you suffer
that God, Holy Spirit of lights, intelligence, strength in your heart and
renewed spirit and determination to love with all your heart that Mary Most Holy,
will make you feel her mother' s warmth and her loving and tender embrace
and come out Joseph will take care of you with his father' s heart,
in the name of the father and son and of the Holy Spirit amen
