Prayer of the heart Wednesday of the fifth week of Lent holy spirit. I
believe in you, or I hope in you I love you Only you deserve
the worship of the human heart and only before you must I bow down.
Only you are the glorious lord with a beauty that you can' t even
imagine. Therefore, sir, do not allow me to worship anything as if
I were a God, for no one marries it in human beings and nothing
in this world is worth so much I recognize you as master of my life,
allow you to lose serenity and joy for things that do not stop so
much. Today we learn St Martin of Dunio, the Gospel of St John,
chapter eight of the thirty- first and forty- two centuries. At
that time he told Jesus instead to the Jews who had believed in him.
If you remain in my word, you will indeed be my disciples, I
will know the truth and the strange truth free. They told him we are
Abram' s wine and we have never been slaves to anyone. As you
say, you will be free. Jesus answered them in truth. Verily I
say unto you all that commit sin are slaves. The slave doesn' t
stay in the house forever. The son stays forever. And if the children
make you free, you will be truly free. I know you are Abraham
' s lineage. However, it brings you to kill me because my word
doesn' t face you. I speak of what I have seen my father,
but you do what you have heard of your father. They replied our
Father Sabraham, Jesus told them if you were Abraham' s children, you
would do what he did. Abrahan. However, you try to kill me
and I have told you about the truth that I heard from God and that
did not abrahan. You do what your father does. We are not children
of prostitution, we have one father of God. Jesus answered them. If
God were your father, you would have made me dizzy because I came out
of God and came so that I did not come on my own, but
he sent me. Lord, this moment of prayer is the means by which
your grace increases. It says so that it can become a strong, luminous,
working, contagious, profound faith that leads me to know the truth.
You know how much I need this gift because if the lakeman could truly love
neither YOU nor others, Lord increases my faith to know your truth. The
doctors of the law did not understand the joy of the promise, they did
not understand the joy of hope, they understood nothing or the idea of the
alliance. They did not know how to be happy because they had lost the
sense of happiness that only comes from faith. Our great father has been able
to be happy because he had faith. It has been made righteous in faith.
They had lost faith. They were a doctor of the law, but
without faith And even more, they had lost the law because the center of
the law is love, love for God and for the Projimo. This is
life without fires, without trust in God, without hope in God and in
his heart. It has been petrified in this way, it is sad to
be a believer without joy. And there is no joy when there is no
faith, when there is no hope, when there is no law, but
only the perscriptions of cold autrine, the joy of faith, the joy of
the Gospel, is the criterion of a person' s faith. Without joy,
that person is not a true believer. Abraham, our father, the
faith turned out the hope of Vermidia saw it and was filled with joy.
Ask the Lord for the grace to be exultant in hope, the grace to
be able to see the day of Jesus when we meet him and the grace
of joy. I tell you this little story that, even if it'
s not very sad, that' s what they told me. It'
s the only thing you can tell a friend at the time who told me
how her brother had gotten into drugs before a funny, cheerful boy a little
bit of a study mess, which we forgave him, but I never thought
he could get to that end and lay by a tree. His father had
thrown him out of the house and his sister was crying dismayed, leaning on
my shoulder. After a year he died of overdose. He was unable to
get out of the drugs, despite all the help, And it is that,
as the Gospel says, sin makes us slaves, the sin calls another
sin and so it becomes impossible even to get out. Thus the life of
the Christian, who is not attentive as a child, happens. She was
fervent and even almost liked the Church. Then, eventually, it cooled down.
Sometimes she left Sunday Mass and slowly left it at all. Then he
confessed an early year and went to the Church only for the wheels and burials,
until he came to an age when he considered himself mature at all and
said to himself I no longer need God and less of the Church. Jesus
does not warn us in today' s Gospel so that we do not become
slaves to sin, but that, as Our Lady is very faithful to God
who at every moment asks us to free us and generous availability to fulfill his
will. Lord Jesus, unfortunately, the one they say has too much influence
on my decision- making, when my standard of life should be only to
always follow your will and always follow your truth. Help me to pray with
humility and simplicity so that I may receive and appreciate the countless gifts with which
you enrich my life so that, with your grace, I may be a
consistent witness of my faith. I give you the blessing, that the goodness
and mercy of God, parents, has the heart, that the gaze of
love of God, son, penetrates into your soul and purifies you from any
uneasiness and lack that you can separate from God, that the love of God,
of love of God the Holy Spirit, grant you the peace that you
need, that the tenderness of Mary, mother of God and our mother caresses
and protects you, and that the strength and simplicity of Saint Joseph, our
father, Lord, lead you to heaven and the blessing of God, father
son and Holy Spirit, descend upon you and remain always Amen.
