1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:06,679 Prayer of the heart Tuesday of the ninth week of ordinary time. Holy Spirit, 2 00:00:06,919 --> 00:00:11,960 You who believe me all, You who illuminate all the ways for me 3 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:16,280 to reach my ideal, You who give me the divine gift of forgiving and 4 00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:20,199 forgetting the evil that they do to me and that in all the moments of 5 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,199 my life you are with me. I want, in this short dialogue, 6 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,719 to thank you for everything and confirm that I never want to separate myself from 7 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,160 you in any greater way that material use will be made. I wish to 8 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,759 be with you all my loved ones in glory is perpetuated. Thank you for 9 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,359 your mercy to me and mine. Thank you, my God. Oy we 10 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:46,880 celebrate St Ruth, a biblical character who evangelised Mark chapter twelve verses, thirteen 11 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:53,200 to seventeen. At that time they sent to Jesus Pharisees and supporters of rodes 12 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,399 to hunt him down with a question. They' re coming. They told 13 00:00:56,399 --> 00:00:59,920 him Master. We know that you are sincere, that he doesn' t 14 00:01:00,679 --> 00:01:03,560 care to talk about anyone why you don' t look at what people are, 15 00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:07,680 but teach God' s way. Honestly, it' s lawful to 16 00:01:07,719 --> 00:01:11,719 pay the tax to Caesar or we don' t pay. Or we don 17 00:01:11,719 --> 00:01:15,879 ' t pay. Jesus, seeing him as hypocritical, replied to them why 18 00:01:15,879 --> 00:01:19,400 you try to shrink me. Bring me aterario to see him They just brought 19 00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:23,159 him in and asked them whose face this is and this description is. They 20 00:01:23,239 --> 00:01:27,239 told me about Caesar. He replied what is Caesar' s, paying Caesar 21 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:34,079 what is God' s good- bye, and they were amazed. The 22 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:40,040 famous saying of Jesus gives Caesar what princess and God wants him. God indigo 23 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,359 that the Roman coins were printed the image of Caesar and so it was to 24 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,840 be given to him. Likewise, in the heart of man will be the 25 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:55,280 imprint of the sole master creator of our life. Therefore, the true way 26 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,680 of being in the world without being worldly is not to dispense with the dimension 27 00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:05,560 of its spiritual, but to recognize that precisely this dimension is radically guarantor of 28 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,199 our freedom. A Christian is not a planet, but he has his feet 29 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:15,439 on the earth well. It is the presence of Christ that society gives to 30 00:02:15,439 --> 00:02:21,159 God. What is God’ s means to always sign our faith to give 31 00:02:21,199 --> 00:02:25,000 an example of the consistency of those who do not believe in Jesus is to 32 00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:28,800 live in the face of God by giving him what is due. But Jesus 33 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,719 also said" Rances" to Luca of Caesar, so we cannot forget our 34 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,680 occupations and duties anymore today, in a cised root world, the problem is 35 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:44,759 another. Often it is very easy to pass them over to the impos to 36 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:50,159 spend the taxes of French life, because medication to professional work is of measure 37 00:02:50,199 --> 00:02:53,080 a real illness of the soul due to its synalitis and to gradually stealing the 38 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,680 time. To God it is there that Christ' s phrase is updated. 39 00:02:58,439 --> 00:03:00,479 I' m dedicating time to him. It' s a bit for God 40 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,560 or I' m exceeding the tax on Caesar. And Caesar is a king 41 00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:08,520 that each one paints. For one it is lost of time, For others 42 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:15,479 the burden has caused by study or excessive work. Caesar is if not bad, 43 00:03:15,759 --> 00:03:21,000 but when he uses the role of God he becomes a noxious and despotic 44 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:28,039 tyrant. But Jesus may want to say something different. On the one hand, 45 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,560 he asks me to do my duty as a citizen. He tells me 46 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,280 that I have to be faithful in the small, in the work, in 47 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,960 the society that does not live a double moral, on the one hand, 48 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,680 God and my Mass, on the other hand, my current form with the 49 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,479 money of the business, the social justice. God wants me to give him 50 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,199 what belongs to him. What do you mean? Jesus, first of all, 51 00:03:52,599 --> 00:03:53,520 asks me to give him my heart, my life, my time, 52 00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:58,879 my desires. That' s what I want to give to God. I 53 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,680 belong to him and he alone. My life options are by and for him. 54 00:04:03,719 --> 00:04:08,039 My decisions at work and with my family are for and for him. 55 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,719 The best of my heart and dreams is for and for him. My whole 56 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,079 will is yours. Sometimes I get lost in the world and reread God to 57 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:23,279 Sunday Mass or to prayer time with my group and Christian I relegate him to 58 00:04:23,959 --> 00:04:28,279 the religious moment of the weekday, day or week and the rest I give 59 00:04:28,319 --> 00:04:33,000 to Caesar. It is curious because Jesus, with that phrase, pushes me 60 00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:38,120 freely and in conscience to ask me what part of me corresponds to God, 61 00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:43,680 what part of me corresponds to Pundo, how is my dedication of my work 62 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,839 in society, with my money, with my goods. I can tell that 63 00:04:46,879 --> 00:04:50,439 I follow God, Jesus, and I adhere to the truth, in my 64 00:04:50,439 --> 00:04:57,319 honesty, in my faithfulness, in my integrity. Today I can do a 65 00:04:57,319 --> 00:05:00,120 sincere exercise. I want to see how I put my feet on the ground 66 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,480 while keeping my eye on the sky. I wonder if I live, as 67 00:05:03,519 --> 00:05:10,879 Father Kentenick said, with his hand, he put time and hearing in the 68 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,079 heart of God, what my choices are like. I look at my forum 69 00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:20,000 of living in my plasma prayer, my most everyday life. I make the 70 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,720 decisions of my life from the hand of God, in my ordinary life, 71 00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:26,839 in the hustle and bustle of the world, in my work and in my 72 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,680 daily challenges. I live united to God. In my prayer. There' 73 00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:32,279 s nothing, there' s no part of me for the world, from 74 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,480 another palarte, to God, the heart can' t be divided. God 75 00:05:35,519 --> 00:05:40,399 and the world are both sides of the same bowl. I think the most 76 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,800 human is God and the most sacred of my life to the world, the 77 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,560 most human. That is what Jesus teaches me, he teaches me to go 78 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,879 with him walking whatever it is, that he is living now, the moment 79 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,560 of intimacy with him, in prayer and the buicio of life. Binded to 80 00:05:56,639 --> 00:06:00,439 him in the two fields of my way is his love. By name Goodbye, 81 00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:03,319 what is from God to Caesar, what is from Caesar, two faces, 82 00:06:03,959 --> 00:06:08,560 of the same coin, God and the world. God and Caesar, 83 00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:14,120 a harmony that we wish to be in the world with deep roots, bring 84 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,439 to the world the peace received in the heart of God' s hand, 85 00:06:18,439 --> 00:06:21,600 contemplatives in action in the midst of the world, men of God to love 86 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,720 the earth. We don' t have a divisible heart. It is the 87 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,240 same for God and for men. We cannot take refuge in God by fleeing 88 00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:34,319 the problems of the world. But we can carry, carry the heart of 89 00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:43,120 God, be transformed to meet the suffering man. Let us develop the sensitivity 90 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,199 to scratch God, to detect Him everywhere, to truly see God behind everything, 91 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:51,079 and to always welcome Him and His desires. Nothing human exaggerates him. 92 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,319 To God they speak to me at all and all mine matters is hidden in 93 00:06:56,399 --> 00:07:00,879 the most human, it is the most mundane. I' m sorry I 94 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:08,319 ' m waiting for you to go there carrying the answers heard in your heart, 95 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:09,519 from the inside out, from the world to the inside of your soul. 96 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:15,240 Everything is forgotten to God. Thank you, Sir, for reminding me 97 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,959 of the priorities of my life that I do not hesitate to give you generously 98 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,959 the time you deserve to enlighten me when I exceed the things of this world, 99 00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:27,319 so that I may be clear about the boundaries between yours and the other 100 00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:31,399 occupations. Thank you for teaching me by your example to give Caesar what belongs 101 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:36,480 to Caesar and God what belongs to God. You gave the blessing, that 102 00:07:36,519 --> 00:07:40,639 the goodness and mercy of God, your father, has the heart, that 103 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,240 the gaze of love of God, son, perish your soul and that purifies 104 00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:46,959 from any uneasiness and lack that can separate you from God, that the love 105 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,720 of God holy spirit, to grant peace, that of visits, that tenderness 106 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:55,040 and that of Mary, mother of God and our mother caresses and protects you, 107 00:07:55,399 --> 00:07:59,360 and that strength and sencility is something like this. Our father, Lord 108 00:07:59,519 --> 00:08:01,279 Thee, leads to that of heaven and the diction of God, Father Son 109 00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:05,079 and holy spirit Feel You and always perish Amen.
