Prayer of the heart Friday to the tenth this week of ordinary time. Come
Holy Spirit so that I may find wisdom in the midst of my limits,
discomfort and weariness, for the sun that sets is as beautiful when I am
healthy as when I am sick. Help me to appreciate the beauty of things
beyond my moods. Help me enjoy what you give me in the middle of
my troubles. Come Holy Spirit and teach me to live, because many times
I can only look at what worries me, what I lack, what I
dislike, as if there was nothing more than that. Today we celebrate San
Joaquin and Santa Ana. According to tradition, the Fathers of the Virgin Mary,
the Gospel is from Saint Matteus chapter thirteen verses, eighteen to twenty-
three. At that time Jesus said to his disciples you hear what the word
of the sower means. If one hears the word of the kingdom without understanding
it well of the evil one and steal the sown in his heart. This
means what is sown on the edge of the road or sown on rocky ground.
It means the one who listens to it and accepts it immediately with joy,
but you have no roots, it is inconsistent and as soon as there
comes a difficulty, a persecution for the word, it succumbs to you.
Sowed among brambles means one who hears the word, but the fans of the
burning and the seduction of riches drown her and become barren. Or sown on
good ground means one who listens to the word and understands it that refrucho fruit
and will produce one hundred or sixty or thirty by one. Lord, the
seed of your word always bears good fruit. Do not allow distractions to refute
what you want in this prayer to reveal to me, see holy spirit.
Lord Give me your grace for your seed of love and I know it will
multiply in my life. The Gospel presents Jesus preaching on the shores of Lake
Gealilea and since he was surrounded by a golden crowd, I got into the
boat, walked a little away from the shore and preached from there. When
speaking to the people, Jesus uses many parables, a language understandable to all,
with images taken of nature and the situations of daily life. The first
thing he relates is an introduction to all words. The word of the sower
who, without guarding anything, threw seed into all kinds of soil and the
true protagonist of this word is precisely the seed that produces more or less fruit
according to the ground where it falls. The first three grounds are unproductive along
the way. Birds eat the seed. In the rocky terrain, the buds
sprout quickly dry because they have no root. In the midst of the brambles,
the spikes choke with seed. The Kingdom room is the good ground and
only there does the seed catch and bear fruit. It' s funny,
but the really amazing thing is that the vast majority of people struggle not to
be someone, but to have something. They are not passionate about filling their
souls, but about occupying an armchair. They don' t show up,
they don' t wonder what they have inside, but what they' re
going to put on the outside. Perhaps that is the reason why there are
so many puppets in the world, so many merionets and so few people.
Yes, we must love the struggle, believe in something very serious, fight
for it, keep fighting when we get tired of moving forward, even if
we get tired of walking. Jesus explains to us today' s Gospel passage,
that the life of the Christian and that of every man struggles. We
must overcome the wind, the hardness of the stones, the thorns. Those
who have had the fortune to work in the field understand perfectly the word of
the sower and it is that it is not enough to throw seed to reap
abundant fruits. You have to choose the land, you have to prepare the
land, you have to take care of the seed and throw it in time,
you have to water, remove the weeds and, above all, you
have to blind at the right time. It involves struggle, work, effort.
It is said that the kingdom of heaven is among the mighty. It
' s a law of life sometimes costs. The important thing is not so
much what we do, but the love with which we work. When there
is love, God blesses and still rewards us on many occasions it does not
seem so at first sight. In order to be always in the struggle,
we have an excellent means. Prayer. Jesus used it and it always worked.
May we know the value of prayer to remain in the struggle, overcoming
everyday problems for the love of God and our brothers and sisters. Lord Jesus,
although I think you are the most important thing of my life. Sadly,
I have to admit that I easily let other things take the place that
only you have. I let your seed drown among the thorns of my weakness,
by allowing my feelings to govern my actions in beer, my faith and
my convictions help my will to make my life that good land where the seed
of your love grows and abundant fruits. He gave you the blessing, may
the goodness and mercy of the Father God fill your heart, may the gaze
of love of God children fight in your soul and purify you from any uneasiness
or lack. May it separate you from God, may the love of God
the Holy Spirit grant you the peace you need, may the tenderness of Mary,
mother of God and our mother caress and protect you, and may the
strength and simplicity of St Joseph, our father, Lord Thee, lead to
heaven and the blessing of God, all of God, father, son and
holy spirit, be upon you and accompany you always amen
