1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:07,919 Prayer of the heart Saturday of the ninth week of ordinary time. Today we 2 00:00:08,279 --> 00:00:14,919 celebrate the immaculate heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We also celebrate Saint Melardo 3 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:21,760 holy spirit, You who believe me all, enlighten all the ways for me 4 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,679 to reach my ideal. You give me the divine gift of forgiving and forgetting 5 00:00:25,719 --> 00:00:29,199 the evil they do to me and that in all the moments of my life 6 00:00:29,239 --> 00:00:33,880 you are with me. I want in this short dialogue, to thank you 7 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:39,320 for everything and to trust that I never want to separate myself from you, 8 00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:45,240 because, however much material illusion, I wish to be with you all my 9 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,719 loved ones in the perpetual luriaa. Thank you for your mercy to me to 10 00:00:47,799 --> 00:00:52,399 mine. Thank you, my God, the Gospel of St Luke, Chapter 11 00:00:52,439 --> 00:00:57,679 two verses forty- one to fifty- one. When Jesus was twelve years 12 00:00:57,679 --> 00:01:02,799 old, they heard the feast according to custom and when it was over they 13 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,400 returned, but the child Jesus remained in Jerusalem without being heard. Her parents. 14 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,239 These believing that he was in the caravan, made a day and began 15 00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:15,239 to look for him among relatives and acquaintances. When they did not find him, 16 00:01:15,359 --> 00:01:18,319 they returned to Jerusalem. In his search Three days later he was found 17 00:01:18,359 --> 00:01:22,799 in the temple sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 18 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,920 Everyone who heard him was amazed at his talent and the answers he gave. 19 00:01:27,879 --> 00:01:32,040 When they saw them, they were amazed and their mother told him, 20 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,439 Son, why you have treated us like this. See how your father and 21 00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:42,799 I were looking for you in distress and he answered them why you were looking 22 00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:46,079 for me. You don' t know that I must be in my father 23 00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:48,400 ' s house, but they didn' t understand what I was telling them. 24 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,079 He went down with them to Jerusalem and continued under his authority. His 25 00:01:53,120 --> 00:02:00,359 mother kept all this in her heart. Sir, I want to take care 26 00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:01,879 of your things. I want you to be the center of my life. 27 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:08,159 I fulfill your will. The incentive of all my actions. Come Holy Spirit 28 00:02:08,599 --> 00:02:14,599 illuminates my mind and heart. In this prayer, my Holy Spirit gives me 29 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:21,919 the strength to fulfill God' s will, says Pope Francis. Jesus remained 30 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:27,360 on that periphery for thirty years. The Evangelist Luke sums up this period. 31 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,479 Thus, Jesus was subject to them, that is, to Mary and to 32 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,280 Goshe and one could say but it is God who comes to save us. 33 00:02:35,719 --> 00:02:39,400 He lost thirty years there, on that periphery of bad form. He lost 34 00:02:39,439 --> 00:02:44,240 thirty years. He wanted this and Jesus' way calls in that family. 35 00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:47,520 His mother kept all this in her heart and Jesus grew in wisdom, stature 36 00:02:49,159 --> 00:02:53,840 and grace. Before God and among men there is no talk of miracles or 37 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,280 cures of preaching. He did not do any of it in this period, 38 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,479 nor multitudes that I trust of Jews. It was he in doing this, 39 00:03:00,719 --> 00:03:10,479 or it seems to happen normally according to the customs of a pious and hardworking 40 00:03:10,479 --> 00:03:15,719 Garita family. He worked, his mom, he cooked, he did all 41 00:03:15,719 --> 00:03:19,120 the things in the house, he threw out his shirts, all Mom' 42 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,360 s things. Father carpenter worked, his son was called to work thirty years. 43 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,680 What a waste, Father. We could think. God' s ways 44 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,759 are mysterious. What was important there was family and this was not a waste. 45 00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:38,159 They were great saints. Mary, Joseph' s most holy and immaculate 46 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:46,159 woman, was the most just man in the family. Who knows better than 47 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,400 a mother like Mary what it means to lose the child of God and is 48 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,560 her own son. If at that time, God, Father, had asked 49 00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:58,120 Mary to account for her son' s education, what she would have answered. 50 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,280 Maria, I lost it. If I don' t find him, 51 00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:08,560 or he' s holding your meeting, but the distressed one, how distressed 52 00:04:08,599 --> 00:04:10,240 he was, would seem to answer that I was lost. With this there 53 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:15,319 is no more convincing proof that Mary loved Jesus than so many other mothers possibly 54 00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:19,079 loved their children. He was his son, and as such, he loved 55 00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:23,160 and cared for him. However, the same love of Mary’ s father 56 00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:27,040 led him to silence himself. Faced with Jesus' answer, I had to 57 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,000 take care of my father' s thing, that Jesus did not know that 58 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,920 Mary was giving her life for him, I did not know that without the 59 00:04:33,959 --> 00:04:39,399 help of the mother he could not survive and that he did not starve, 60 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,879 he died killed by the men of heroes Possibly he knew, but he also 61 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,680 had so clear the mission that he had to fulfill and he had to begin 62 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,480 as soon as possible. But let us stop longer in our gaze of Mary, 63 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,319 a mother who has cared for her son for twelve years And now her 64 00:04:55,399 --> 00:05:00,560 son comes out with such a disconcerting response are the risks of a mother to 65 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:05,720 more love for the home more sacrifices she must face. May our life also 66 00:05:05,879 --> 00:05:11,600 be fulfilled these words that Amparo II said of her all your life. His 67 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,720 life was a pilgrimage of faith, because he walked in the shadows and waited 68 00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:23,399 in the invisible and knew the same contradictions of our earthly life that, as 69 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,000 Mary has dyed, our life too is a perguidar in the faith when we 70 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,680 do not understand the reasons of life. It offers a mystery of rosary by 71 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,399 a member of your family who is far from the Church. Lord Jesus, 72 00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:40,600 the anguish that the Blessed Virgin did not encounter you is the worst nightmare that 73 00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:46,399 any parent, How difficult it was for her not to understand your apparent indifference 74 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:53,959 to suffering. Allow me to grow in your grace so that, like Mary, 75 00:05:54,399 --> 00:05:59,279 I can accept anguish or pain without leaving my prayer, always trusting in 76 00:05:59,519 --> 00:06:04,480 your divine providence. Today the blessing and mercy and goodness of God, Father 77 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,040 already in your heart, may the gaze of love of God, children, 78 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,600 penetrate you into your soul and purify you from any restlessness and lack that you 79 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,920 can guard from God, may the love of God, Holy Spirit grant you 80 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,199 the peace you need, may the tenderness of Mary, mother of God and 81 00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:21,920 our mother caress you and protect you and the strength and sheerness of Saint Josephs 82 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,920 do not know the Lord Lead you to heaven and the blessing of God, 83 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,439 father, son and holy spirit descend upon you and remain always Amen.
