Prayer of the heart Monday of the third week of Easter. Oh, Holy
Spirit Love of father and son, always inspire me what I must think,
what I must say, how I must say, what I must shut up,
how I must act, what I must do for the glory of God
and good of the Souls and my own jastification. Holy Spirit Give me,
keenness to understand, ability, to retain, method and faculty, to learn
its use, to interpret, grace and effectiveness to speak. Make me right,
at the beginning of direction, to profess and perfect, finish amen.
Today we celebrate St Damien of Buster, the famous father. The gospel is
also of St John. Chapter six verses, twenty- two to twenty-
nine after Jesus had filled five zero men, his disciples saw him walking on
the sea. The next day, the people who had remained on the other
side of the sea noticed that there had been nothing but a boat that Jesus
had not embarked on with his disciples, but that his disciples had left alone.
In treaty. A few triberia boats arrived near the place where they had
eaten the bread. After the Lord had given thanks. When the people saw
that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they embarked and lined cafarralum in
search of Jesus. When they found him on the other side of the lake,
they asked him, Master, when did you come here? Jesus answered
them in truth. Verily I say unto you, and ye seek not,
because ye have seen a sign, but because ye have eaten bread, till
ye be satisfied, work not for the food that perisheth, but for the
food that endureth unto everlasting life. He who will give you the son of
man, for he has been sealed by the Father God. They asked him
and what we have to do to realize God. Jesus answered him the work
of God is this which you believe in which the crowd has sent me.
He goes in search of Jesus and seek and find God in all things.
It always leaves a margin of uncertainty. If a person says that he has
found God with total certainty and is not touched by a margin of uncertainty,
something is not right. This is an important key that if one has answers
to all the questions, we are facing proof that God is not in him.
Let us remember the great days of God’ s people, Moses,
for example, that has always given room for doubt.“ I invite you
to be humble,” the Pope said. We have to be making room
for Mr No to our certainties. I recommend looking for God to find him
and find him to look for him forever. It is also the sound that
the great fathers of faith have had. He invited you to read the eleventh
chapter of the letter to the Hebrews Abraham by faith departed without knowing where he
was going. All our forefathers and faith died with the promised goods before their
eyes. But far away. We have not been given to life as a
script in which everything is already written, but it consists in walking, walking,
doing, seeking to see. We must embark on adventure, search,
encounter and let ourselves be sought and found. For God' s sake,
they told me this story that can serve us. A long time ago I
lived in a village, a villager who was very beautiful. Everyone wanted to
cuff her, but she felt that no one assured her true love. Thus,
a richer merchant approached him by telling him I will call despite your poverty.
But since his words did not find true love, they preferred not to
tire. Then a great general approached him and told him I will marry you,
despite the distances that separate us, but neither did the beautiful villager accept.
Later the emperor approached him to tell him theus I will accept in my
palace, despite your condition as mortal and also refused a girl to marry,
because neither saw in him a love disinterested, until one day a young man
approached him and said to him I will love you despite myself and as in
his words, found a true and sincere love. I choose to marry him.
May our life happen just as we seek God out of selfless love,
that we offer our love to Him in spite of ourselves. Let us not
seek God for perishable food, as the people who mention the Gospel sought him.
It is clear that we do not seek God for material food, for
we know and experience that it must be earned. But if we could approach
Christ for some personal gain, asking him for things that, instead of approaching
our sanctification, lead us away, perhaps we see in Jesus a genius that
will grant us desires if we pronounce a magic formula that we call Prayer.
Christ sees our intentions and knows why we ask him for things, he knows
why we follow him and why we seek him. And that' s why
you know what you have to give us. And he knows many times he
grants us to have to wait. And perhaps many times he grants us to
have to wait. Let us look for Christ in a disinterested way, not
in spite of what we may like or dislike about him, but in the
knowledge that the Eucharist is the privileged point of the encounter of love towards us.
In an unselfish way, despite our mortal condition and in spite of our
poverty, each time we come in need to pray before the Holy Christ,
as with the ripuli of mous gives meaning to our life, it restores to
us the supernatural vision, comforts us in our difficulties and fills us with cravings
for apostolate. I can do everything in the one who comforts me with the
lord. We cannot do everything, because you are my strength in that sacrament
every patent that the blood of Christ redeems and that at the same time feeds
and delights. It is blood that washes away all sins and makes the soul
pure. Blood that breeds women and men of a chaste body and a clean
heart, blood that intoxicates, that gets drunk with the holy spirit and that
unleashes the tongues to sing and narrate the wonders of God. The river with
Christ intoxicates us with the holy spirit fills our hearts. It is not true
that our heart was burning within us as he spoke to us along the way
in his explanation of the scriptures and he launches us to proclaim the greatness of
the Lord to communicate to others our joy with the zero of Christ himself.
The Christian can receive the good seed by following the numerous acts of piety that
form part of the tradition of the church, the Holy Mass, prayer before
the tabernacle whenever possible, the visit to the Blessed Sacrament, frequent meditation on
the singing of pots, spiritual communions. The idea is to discover tabernacles when
we see on the street. All this is a true encounter with Christ from
which we went out renewed to fight interior struggle and apostolate. When we meet
at the altar, while celebrating the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, when we
contemplate the sacred host is placed in the custody or we worship it hidden from
the tabernacle. We must rekindle our faith to think of that new existence that
we saw and how to see ourselves before the affection and tenderness of God,
the person who approaches the Eucharist encounters Christ and puts himself in a position to
hear his call, the same one received by the first twelve and so many
other characters who, as they were to the Gospel, crossed with Jesus,
for in his way come and follow me I give you the blessing that God,
Father, will accompany you. Be in your heart. Take care of
you, make you strong, joyful and faithful, that God, son,
may make you his caterrura and his mercy and touch of heart. Any restlessness
that can make you suffer that God, Holy Spirit, makes you jump in
intelligence force your heart renewed spirit and determination to love with all your heart,
that Blessed Mary make you felt her warmth as a mother and her embrace to
Moors and Land. Now Joseph take care of you with his father' s
heart, in the name of the father, and of the son, and
of the Holy Spirit Amen.
