Prayer the heart Tuesday of the fourth week of Lent holy spirit. I believe
in you I hope in you I love you. Only you deserve the worship
of the human heart and I must bow down to you alone. Only you
are the glorious lord with a beauty you can' t even imagine. So,
sir, don' t let me worship anything like I' m a
god, because no being or anything in this world is worth so much.
I recognize you as master of my life. Don' t let him lose
serenity and joy for things that aren' t worth that much. Today we
celebrate Salt Innocent, first father and already Saint Masimilian of the Trestre, the
Evagelius, this Saint John, chapter five verses two before until the sixteen a
feast of the Jews was celebrated and Jesus his journey I will use. There
is in Jerusalem, next to the Sheep Gate, a swimming pool that they
call in Hebrew Bethesta. This has five supports, and there were many sick,
blind, lame, paralyzed people lying there. There was also a man
there who had been ill for thirty- eight years. Jesus, seeing him
thrown away and knowing that he had been around for a long time, tells
him that you want to stay healthy. The patient answered him. Sir,
I don' t have anyone to put me in the pool when the water
is removed by the time I get there. I have gone ahead and Jesus
tells him to get up, take your stretcher and walk and at the moment
the man was healthy. He took his gurney and made it walk. That
day was the Sabbath, and the Jews told the man who was healed.
Today is Saturday and you can' t take the stretcher and he answered.
The one who cured me is that he told me to take your stretcher and
start walking. They asked him who told you to take the desandar stretcher.
But he that was healed did not know who he was, because Jesus,
because of the crowd that was in that place, had turned away. Later
he finds Jesus in the tempo and says," Look, you' re
healthy" Don' t sin any more, I don' t know what
worse will happen to you and that man left and told the Jews that it
was Jesus who had healed him. For this reason, the Jews persecuted Jesus
because he did such things on the Sabbath. The view of the pool paralytic
is touching Christ approaches that man and, knowing that he had been long,
decides to heal him. That sick man was certainly a man of great heart
of those who did not become discouraged despite the problems we do not know,
but perhaps he was not from Jerusalem and had been brought to the city for
healing. Perhaps many times I would have wanted everything to be finished soon for
him. Surely he thought that his life no longer made sense, that he
lived only to suffer, accepting the mockery and hollowness of so many people who
came to pass by. How many dawns and evenings he would have passed over
that man, poor man and he would not lose hope that the good God
of Auxiliary Irael trusted and so it was a long time until Christ approached and,
knowing that he had been suffering for a long time, approached to restore
health. The Lord had foreseen the meeting for that precise moment, not because
he would not have loved to worship him the suffering of so many years,
but because he wanted to give him a greater gift of faith and shortly after,
the forgiveness of sins. We are all exposed to feeling helpless in the
hard times or in the daily routine of our daily work. However, Christ
will meet us, heal us and make us change our lives by going against
the frivolous customs of the world in which we live, because he wants to
remain with us in our souls through grace. Then the memory of Christ and
his presence in us will suffice to accept us and accept the small sacrifices of
our daily life. The swimming pool, known as Betsata, was a traditional
place of healing. When the waters were shaken. The sick noises in the
enclosure were rushing down into the water, pushing to the pass in the hope
of being cured of their various ailments. There in a mat and made a
man who had suffered his hobby for thirty- eight years. I' d
waited a long time. Jesus knew the story of that man, so he
intervened You want to be well in cold. A man answered I have no
one to put me in the pool when the water is shaken. His next
statement suggests that he could move, that he could move by himself, but
too slowly. While I went or worked before me without help, I was
doomed to failure. This man, in his anonymity, represents all of us,
for the person in a state of sin is very weakened and has no
way of healing himself. Jesus looks at it with compassion and works a great
miracle. Act directly, get up, take your quote and walk. The
healing is instantaneous and the one who was busy by the pool not only gets
up, but also carries the stretcher on which he is supported. It'
s a clarifembro of being completely cured. However, as St Joseph Mary pointed
out, there is a world of sadness. Those but in the first words
of repentance. Oh, look, Noravio, I don' t have anyone
to help me with this. They could unhappily assure many sick and paralytic of
the spirit that they can serve and should serve. Lord that I never remain
indifferent to souls is furrow number two hundred and twelve. There are sick people
among your friends in your family. Jesus called to love the Projimo and that
love must be manifested in the desire to help those whom He has put about
us, to be the friend who is, who is sick, needed but
did not have. We can act to help them overcome any difficulties they may
have. We can pray for each one by asking God to do what is
best for them. If we do what we can to take the lord,
he' ll do the rest. On the other hand, we are all
like that paralytic. Every day we observe the small ones and feel fragile and
without strength, and in reality we are, for we always limp in our
first my own defects. The Gospel par ridicum today gives us resolve to expose
our problems to Jesus or trust and he will work wonders in us We are
men who continually stumble, we are lame, We need someone to sustain us.
That someone is Christ, the son of God. He wants to be
our strength, our security. At his side we can do all we can.
We must certainly trust him, for he is the faithful friend who never
abandons us. Every day we must feel as we know ourselves loved by God,
for God we are very important to him. By our side, we
can do everything. Jesus is our strength. Lord, thank you for your
love and your presence that truly makes us feel like your children. I know
that today you have heard and I have feared the grace of being patient to
expect what you, that you go in me, are to see your loving
hand, that sustains me and makes me see how great your love is to
me. I give you the blessing that goodness, may the mercy of God,
Father, fill you in the heart, may the gaze of love of
God, son, penetrate into your soul and purify you from any uneasiness and
lack that can separate you from God, may the love of God the Holy
Spirit grant you the peace you need, may the tenderness of Mary the mother
of God and mother the luster caress you, caress and protect you, and
may the strength be learned from Saint Joseph the Father. Lord, lead her
from heaven, and God almighty, father, son, and holy spirit will
come down upon you, and will always accompany you Amen.
