1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:07,480
Prayer of the heart Thursday of the
twelfth week of ordinary time. Come Holy

2
00:00:07,599 --> 00:00:11,519
Spirit, to give me your ever- new life. Fill me with the

3
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,080
amazement of a child to admire the
world and the life that I do not

4
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,839
get used to, the life that
lets me surprise every morning, because behind

5
00:00:19,879 --> 00:00:23,519
everything is your Love, my God. Help me to recognize that routine does

6
00:00:23,559 --> 00:00:27,960
not exist, because everything is new
every day, because there is always something

7
00:00:28,039 --> 00:00:33,000
that is beginning. Take all my
life Holy Spirit, and I was that

8
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,640
of the eternal novelty of your Love
that this day will not pass in vain

9
00:00:37,679 --> 00:00:41,320
and I will be able to discover
the message that there is today for my

10
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:47,960
life. Come Holy Spirit, Amen
today we celebrate St Cyril of Alexandria,

11
00:00:49,759 --> 00:00:56,159
Bishop and Luctor of the Church,
the Gospel of St Matthew, chapter seven

12
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,000
verses, twenty- one to twenty- nine. At that time Jesus said

13
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:04,200
to his disciples. Not everyone who
tells me, Lord Lord, will enter

14
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,599
into the kingdom of heaven, but
he who fulfills my father' s will,

15
00:01:08,079 --> 00:01:12,560
who is in heaven that day.
Many will say, Lord, We

16
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:18,120
have not prophesied in your name and
in your name cast out of demons and

17
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:23,560
have not done many miracles in your
name. I will then declare to them

18
00:01:23,599 --> 00:01:29,040
that I have never known you far
from me wicked ones who listen to these

19
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:34,040
words, in practice it is like
that wise man who built his house on

20
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:40,040
rock, rain fell, the rivers
came out well, the winds souped up

21
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:42,519
and unloaded against the house. But
it didn' t sink because it was

22
00:01:42,519 --> 00:01:46,239
rock- cracked. He who hears
these words of mine and does not put

23
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,519
them into practice. It looks like
the man who built a fool, who

24
00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:56,239
built his house on sand, and
the luyas fell, and the rivers went

25
00:01:56,359 --> 00:01:59,239
out, and blew the winds,
and broke the ton against the house,

26
00:01:59,239 --> 00:02:02,879
and sank completely. At the end
of this discourse, the people were amazed

27
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:08,680
at his teaching because he taught us
with authority, not like the scribes.

28
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,639
Christ asks us to remain in His
love. There are two criteria that help

29
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:21,039
to distinguish true love from that which
is not. The first criterion is that

30
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,560
love is more in deeds than in
words. It is not a love of

31
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,639
soap opera, a fantasy and history
that makes us beat from the heart,

32
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,759
but nothing more, but they are
made concrete. Jesus warned his own,

33
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,840
not those who say, Lord will
enter the kingdom of heaven, but those

34
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:45,039
who have done the will of my
father who keeps my commandments. True love

35
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:50,080
is concrete. He' s in
the works. It' s a constant

36
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:58,000
love, it' s not just
a simple enthusiasm. It is also often

37
00:02:58,039 --> 00:03:01,120
a painful love. Let us think
of the love of Jesus bearing the cross.

38
00:03:01,719 --> 00:03:07,439
I was hungry and they fed me, etc. Beatitudes are concrete.

39
00:03:07,719 --> 00:03:13,680
The second criterion of love is that
love communicates, does not remain isolated.

40
00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:19,479
Love gives of itself and receives.
There is that communication that exists between the

41
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,199
father and the son, a communication
that is made by the holy spirit.

42
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:29,400
Surely you have heard a story,
this account that is said to be of

43
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,479
Arab origin. In one city two
men were born on the same day at

44
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,960
the same time in the same place. Their lives developed and each one returned

45
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:43,599
Lived a very different experience. At
the end of their lives, they both

46
00:03:43,639 --> 00:03:45,960
died on the same day at the
same time and in the same place.

47
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,479
According to legend, it is said
that when we die we have to pass

48
00:03:49,639 --> 00:03:53,199
through a great portal of pure gold, where a guardian arrives. Ask us

49
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:58,199
some questions to let us in.
The first man arrived and the guardian asks

50
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,560
him what happened to your life and
he answers. I knew many places,

51
00:04:02,439 --> 00:04:06,400
I had many friends, I did
business that produced great riches. My family

52
00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:12,120
had the best and I worked hard
and the guard asked him what you brought

53
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,560
with you. He answers everything is
left there. I don' t have

54
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,759
anything. Before another guardian answers,
I' m sorry, you can'

55
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,639
t pass because you don' t
bring anything with you. Hearing these words,

56
00:04:23,079 --> 00:04:26,279
the man, weeping and with great
sorrow in his heart, sits aside

57
00:04:26,319 --> 00:04:30,279
and urges you the pain of not
being able to enter. That man arrived

58
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:35,360
and the guardian asked him what happened
to your life and it' s his

59
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,120
answer. From that moment I was
born I was a light walker. I

60
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,319
had no riches, I sought only
the love of the hearts of all men.

61
00:04:43,879 --> 00:04:49,279
My family abandoned me and I never
really had anything, and the guardian

62
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,600
asked him and you found what you
were looking for and he answers yes,

63
00:04:54,959 --> 00:04:58,160
it has been my only food since
I found it. The guard responds very

64
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,319
well. You can come in,
but first the man answers. The love

65
00:05:01,319 --> 00:05:04,920
I have found is so great that
I want to share it with this man

66
00:05:04,959 --> 00:05:10,560
sitting next to me suffering for his
fortune, legend says that his love was

67
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,319
so great that it was enough for
both of them to pass through the portal.

68
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,439
Tell me uh, how you love
and I' ll tell you how

69
00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:24,240
you are, because a person is
really known for his way of loving,

70
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:30,079
for the ability he has to give
in to love. Love is a verb,

71
00:05:30,439 --> 00:05:36,360
the gerund. I' m loving
you. This is said to mean

72
00:05:36,399 --> 00:05:42,720
that love is again a free act
of the renewable will. In other words,

73
00:05:43,319 --> 00:05:47,399
I decide to love you every day
actively above any circumstance that life presents

74
00:05:47,439 --> 00:05:53,879
to me, regardless of whether I
feel it or not. Love has many

75
00:05:54,439 --> 00:06:00,160
faces and comes in many ways in
the sick person whom you visit, the

76
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,439
elder who listens patiently, in the
beggar, who listens, who helps in

77
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,639
the corner, the worker, whom
you treat with the lerity he deserves,

78
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,759
in the brother, who endures his
angry temper, in the friend whom you

79
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,879
serve, even if you are dying
of fatigue, in the one who comforts

80
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:21,000
you, even though you are sadder
than he, the son whom you with

81
00:06:21,079 --> 00:06:27,560
love correct in the spouse, whose
defects you tolerate with serenity in the forgiveness

82
00:06:27,639 --> 00:06:32,560
that you offer and grant love often
does not look or feel beautiful. And

83
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,279
that doesn' t mean it'
s not true love. That' s

84
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,560
right, sometimes love hurts. Just
put love on the face of a sick

85
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:46,319
child and wife dying that love hurts, and much love is having the strength

86
00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:54,319
to overcome your obstacle that could prevent
you from experiencing this mysterious state is to

87
00:06:54,360 --> 00:07:00,759
release everything freely and consciously, without
going in search of anything. To love

88
00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:05,560
the giving everything for the whole,
is to accept, grow, recognize mistakes

89
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:10,439
and forgive an endless number of qualities. The word love is enclosed, but

90
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:15,839
no doubt some love, some love
is living. Without a doubt to love

91
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:21,240
is to live forgiveness. When you
come to experience that feeling of love,

92
00:07:23,079 --> 00:07:27,480
when you feel that the soul is
strength, that superior force that drives you

93
00:07:27,519 --> 00:07:30,360
to want the good in that of
the other, is one of the greatest

94
00:07:30,439 --> 00:07:33,680
gifts that can give you life and
you can even say that you have touched

95
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:39,319
the sky, because an inexplicable happiness
occurs. There are many kinds of love

96
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:44,160
and even many more people to love
with the certainty that love comes from a

97
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:50,600
very important feeling or attitude of life. Gratitude if you say the word thank

98
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,560
you from the bottom of your heart, who comes to mind to me God.

99
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,040
That' s why, in my
life, God Or is the main

100
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,160
one of love. After this great
love come the others. When love is

101
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:07,439
delivered in an orderly manner, it
generates peace and rest in the soul.

102
00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:13,759
Jesus with you. Every day is
a wonderful opportunity to grow my love for

103
00:08:13,839 --> 00:08:18,800
you and others. Help me to
give you a yes in every moment of

104
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,519
my life, living with the awareness
that you raised me to be holy and

105
00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:26,439
that holiness is but an answer of
love. In every moment of the day,

106
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,480
in the small and in the great, I gave you the blessing that

107
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,159
God, Father, accompany you in
your heart. Take care of yourself,

108
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,039
make you strong, joyful and faithful, may God, son, make you

109
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,919
feel his tenderness and mercy and take
you out of your heart. Whoever stills

110
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,120
that can make you suffer that God, Holy Spirit makes you disillusioned if in

111
00:08:46,159 --> 00:08:52,679
the intelligence force in the heart renewed
spirit and determination to love with all the

112
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,759
heart that varies most holy, I
felt it his mother' s warmth and

113
00:08:56,799 --> 00:09:00,799
his loving and tender arm and St
Joseph took care of you with his father

114
00:09:00,879 --> 00:09:03,000
' s heart in the name of
father and son and holy spirit amen
