Prayer of the heart Tuesday of the ninth week of ordinary time. Holy Spirit,
You who believe me all, You who illuminate all the ways for me
to reach my ideal, You who give me the divine gift of forgiving and
forgetting the evil that they do to me and that in all the moments of
my life you are with me. I want, in this short dialogue,
to thank you for everything and confirm that I never want to separate myself from
you in any greater way that material use will be made. I wish to
be with you all my loved ones in glory is perpetuated. Thank you for
your mercy to me and mine. Thank you, my God. Oy we
celebrate St Ruth, a biblical character who evangelised Mark chapter twelve verses, thirteen
to seventeen. At that time they sent to Jesus Pharisees and supporters of rodes
to hunt him down with a question. They' re coming. They told
him Master. We know that you are sincere, that he doesn' t
care to talk about anyone why you don' t look at what people are,
but teach God' s way. Honestly, it' s lawful to
pay the tax to Caesar or we don' t pay. Or we don
' t pay. Jesus, seeing him as hypocritical, replied to them why
you try to shrink me. Bring me aterario to see him They just brought
him in and asked them whose face this is and this description is. They
told me about Caesar. He replied what is Caesar' s, paying Caesar
what is God' s good- bye, and they were amazed. The
famous saying of Jesus gives Caesar what princess and God wants him. God indigo
that the Roman coins were printed the image of Caesar and so it was to
be given to him. Likewise, in the heart of man will be the
imprint of the sole master creator of our life. Therefore, the true way
of being in the world without being worldly is not to dispense with the dimension
of its spiritual, but to recognize that precisely this dimension is radically guarantor of
our freedom. A Christian is not a planet, but he has his feet
on the earth well. It is the presence of Christ that society gives to
God. What is God’ s means to always sign our faith to give
an example of the consistency of those who do not believe in Jesus is to
live in the face of God by giving him what is due. But Jesus
also said" Rances" to Luca of Caesar, so we cannot forget our
occupations and duties anymore today, in a cised root world, the problem is
another. Often it is very easy to pass them over to the impos to
spend the taxes of French life, because medication to professional work is of measure
a real illness of the soul due to its synalitis and to gradually stealing the
time. To God it is there that Christ' s phrase is updated.
I' m dedicating time to him. It' s a bit for God
or I' m exceeding the tax on Caesar. And Caesar is a king
that each one paints. For one it is lost of time, For others
the burden has caused by study or excessive work. Caesar is if not bad,
but when he uses the role of God he becomes a noxious and despotic
tyrant. But Jesus may want to say something different. On the one hand,
he asks me to do my duty as a citizen. He tells me
that I have to be faithful in the small, in the work, in
the society that does not live a double moral, on the one hand,
God and my Mass, on the other hand, my current form with the
money of the business, the social justice. God wants me to give him
what belongs to him. What do you mean? Jesus, first of all,
asks me to give him my heart, my life, my time,
my desires. That' s what I want to give to God. I
belong to him and he alone. My life options are by and for him.
My decisions at work and with my family are for and for him.
The best of my heart and dreams is for and for him. My whole
will is yours. Sometimes I get lost in the world and reread God to
Sunday Mass or to prayer time with my group and Christian I relegate him to
the religious moment of the weekday, day or week and the rest I give
to Caesar. It is curious because Jesus, with that phrase, pushes me
freely and in conscience to ask me what part of me corresponds to God,
what part of me corresponds to Pundo, how is my dedication of my work
in society, with my money, with my goods. I can tell that
I follow God, Jesus, and I adhere to the truth, in my
honesty, in my faithfulness, in my integrity. Today I can do a
sincere exercise. I want to see how I put my feet on the ground
while keeping my eye on the sky. I wonder if I live, as
Father Kentenick said, with his hand, he put time and hearing in the
heart of God, what my choices are like. I look at my forum
of living in my plasma prayer, my most everyday life. I make the
decisions of my life from the hand of God, in my ordinary life,
in the hustle and bustle of the world, in my work and in my
daily challenges. I live united to God. In my prayer. There'
s nothing, there' s no part of me for the world, from
another palarte, to God, the heart can' t be divided. God
and the world are both sides of the same bowl. I think the most
human is God and the most sacred of my life to the world, the
most human. That is what Jesus teaches me, he teaches me to go
with him walking whatever it is, that he is living now, the moment
of intimacy with him, in prayer and the buicio of life. Binded to
him in the two fields of my way is his love. By name Goodbye,
what is from God to Caesar, what is from Caesar, two faces,
of the same coin, God and the world. God and Caesar,
a harmony that we wish to be in the world with deep roots, bring
to the world the peace received in the heart of God' s hand,
contemplatives in action in the midst of the world, men of God to love
the earth. We don' t have a divisible heart. It is the
same for God and for men. We cannot take refuge in God by fleeing
the problems of the world. But we can carry, carry the heart of
God, be transformed to meet the suffering man. Let us develop the sensitivity
to scratch God, to detect Him everywhere, to truly see God behind everything,
and to always welcome Him and His desires. Nothing human exaggerates him.
To God they speak to me at all and all mine matters is hidden in
the most human, it is the most mundane. I' m sorry I
' m waiting for you to go there carrying the answers heard in your heart,
from the inside out, from the world to the inside of your soul.
Everything is forgotten to God. Thank you, Sir, for reminding me
of the priorities of my life that I do not hesitate to give you generously
the time you deserve to enlighten me when I exceed the things of this world,
so that I may be clear about the boundaries between yours and the other
occupations. Thank you for teaching me by your example to give Caesar what belongs
to Caesar and God what belongs to God. You gave the blessing, that
the goodness and mercy of God, your father, has the heart, that
the gaze of love of God, son, perish your soul and that purifies
from any uneasiness and lack that can separate you from God, that the love
of God holy spirit, to grant peace, that of visits, that tenderness
and that of Mary, mother of God and our mother caresses and protects you,
and that strength and sencility is something like this. Our father, Lord
Thee, leads to that of heaven and the diction of God, Father Son
and holy spirit Feel You and always perish Amen.
