Prayer of the heart Thursday of the twelfth week of ordinary time. Come Holy
Spirit, to give me your ever- new life. Fill me with the
amazement of a child to admire the world and the life that I do not
get used to, the life that lets me surprise every morning, because behind
everything is your Love, my God. Help me to recognize that routine does
not exist, because everything is new every day, because there is always something
that is beginning. Take all my life Holy Spirit, and I was that
of the eternal novelty of your Love that this day will not pass in vain
and I will be able to discover the message that there is today for my
life. Come Holy Spirit, Amen today we celebrate St Cyril of Alexandria,
Bishop and Luctor of the Church, the Gospel of St Matthew, chapter seven
verses, twenty- one to twenty- nine. At that time Jesus said
to his disciples. Not everyone who tells me, Lord Lord, will enter
into the kingdom of heaven, but he who fulfills my father' s will,
who is in heaven that day. Many will say, Lord, We
have not prophesied in your name and in your name cast out of demons and
have not done many miracles in your name. I will then declare to them
that I have never known you far from me wicked ones who listen to these
words, in practice it is like that wise man who built his house on
rock, rain fell, the rivers came out well, the winds souped up
and unloaded against the house. But it didn' t sink because it was
rock- cracked. He who hears these words of mine and does not put
them into practice. It looks like the man who built a fool, who
built his house on sand, and the luyas fell, and the rivers went
out, and blew the winds, and broke the ton against the house,
and sank completely. At the end of this discourse, the people were amazed
at his teaching because he taught us with authority, not like the scribes.
Christ asks us to remain in His love. There are two criteria that help
to distinguish true love from that which is not. The first criterion is that
love is more in deeds than in words. It is not a love of
soap opera, a fantasy and history that makes us beat from the heart,
but nothing more, but they are made concrete. Jesus warned his own,
not those who say, Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven, but those
who have done the will of my father who keeps my commandments. True love
is concrete. He' s in the works. It' s a constant
love, it' s not just a simple enthusiasm. It is also often
a painful love. Let us think of the love of Jesus bearing the cross.
I was hungry and they fed me, etc. Beatitudes are concrete.
The second criterion of love is that love communicates, does not remain isolated.
Love gives of itself and receives. There is that communication that exists between the
father and the son, a communication that is made by the holy spirit.
Surely you have heard a story, this account that is said to be of
Arab origin. In one city two men were born on the same day at
the same time in the same place. Their lives developed and each one returned
Lived a very different experience. At the end of their lives, they both
died on the same day at the same time and in the same place.
According to legend, it is said that when we die we have to pass
through a great portal of pure gold, where a guardian arrives. Ask us
some questions to let us in. The first man arrived and the guardian asks
him what happened to your life and he answers. I knew many places,
I had many friends, I did business that produced great riches. My family
had the best and I worked hard and the guard asked him what you brought
with you. He answers everything is left there. I don' t have
anything. Before another guardian answers, I' m sorry, you can'
t pass because you don' t bring anything with you. Hearing these words,
the man, weeping and with great sorrow in his heart, sits aside
and urges you the pain of not being able to enter. That man arrived
and the guardian asked him what happened to your life and it' s his
answer. From that moment I was born I was a light walker. I
had no riches, I sought only the love of the hearts of all men.
My family abandoned me and I never really had anything, and the guardian
asked him and you found what you were looking for and he answers yes,
it has been my only food since I found it. The guard responds very
well. You can come in, but first the man answers. The love
I have found is so great that I want to share it with this man
sitting next to me suffering for his fortune, legend says that his love was
so great that it was enough for both of them to pass through the portal.
Tell me uh, how you love and I' ll tell you how
you are, because a person is really known for his way of loving,
for the ability he has to give in to love. Love is a verb,
the gerund. I' m loving you. This is said to mean
that love is again a free act of the renewable will. In other words,
I decide to love you every day actively above any circumstance that life presents
to me, regardless of whether I feel it or not. Love has many
faces and comes in many ways in the sick person whom you visit, the
elder who listens patiently, in the beggar, who listens, who helps in
the corner, the worker, whom you treat with the lerity he deserves,
in the brother, who endures his angry temper, in the friend whom you
serve, even if you are dying of fatigue, in the one who comforts
you, even though you are sadder than he, the son whom you with
love correct in the spouse, whose defects you tolerate with serenity in the forgiveness
that you offer and grant love often does not look or feel beautiful. And
that doesn' t mean it' s not true love. That' s
right, sometimes love hurts. Just put love on the face of a sick
child and wife dying that love hurts, and much love is having the strength
to overcome your obstacle that could prevent you from experiencing this mysterious state is to
release everything freely and consciously, without going in search of anything. To love
the giving everything for the whole, is to accept, grow, recognize mistakes
and forgive an endless number of qualities. The word love is enclosed, but
no doubt some love, some love is living. Without a doubt to love
is to live forgiveness. When you come to experience that feeling of love,
when you feel that the soul is strength, that superior force that drives you
to want the good in that of the other, is one of the greatest
gifts that can give you life and you can even say that you have touched
the sky, because an inexplicable happiness occurs. There are many kinds of love
and even many more people to love with the certainty that love comes from a
very important feeling or attitude of life. Gratitude if you say the word thank
you from the bottom of your heart, who comes to mind to me God.
That' s why, in my life, God Or is the main
one of love. After this great love come the others. When love is
delivered in an orderly manner, it generates peace and rest in the soul.
Jesus with you. Every day is a wonderful opportunity to grow my love for
you and others. Help me to give you a yes in every moment of
my life, living with the awareness that you raised me to be holy and
that holiness is but an answer of love. In every moment of the day,
in the small and in the great, I gave you the blessing that
God, Father, accompany you in your heart. Take care of yourself,
make you strong, joyful and faithful, may God, son, make you
feel his tenderness and mercy and take you out of your heart. Whoever stills
that can make you suffer that God, Holy Spirit makes you disillusioned if in
the intelligence force in the heart renewed spirit and determination to love with all the
heart that varies most holy, I felt it his mother' s warmth and
his loving and tender arm and St Joseph took care of you with his father
' s heart in the name of father and son and holy spirit amen
