1
00:00:01,159 --> 00:00:07,280
Prayer of the heart Friday to the
tenth this week of ordinary time. Come

2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:13,320
Holy Spirit so that I may find
wisdom in the midst of my limits,

3
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:19,519
discomfort and weariness, for the sun
that sets is as beautiful when I am

4
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:24,839
healthy as when I am sick.
Help me to appreciate the beauty of things

5
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:30,000
beyond my moods. Help me enjoy
what you give me in the middle of

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,960
my troubles. Come Holy Spirit and
teach me to live, because many times

7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,600
I can only look at what worries
me, what I lack, what I

8
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:46,280
dislike, as if there was nothing
more than that. Today we celebrate San

9
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:50,679
Joaquin and Santa Ana. According to
tradition, the Fathers of the Virgin Mary,

10
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:56,840
the Gospel is from Saint Matteus chapter
thirteen verses, eighteen to twenty-

11
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,920
three. At that time Jesus said
to his disciples you hear what the word

12
00:01:02,439 --> 00:01:07,239
of the sower means. If one
hears the word of the kingdom without understanding

13
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,040
it well of the evil one and
steal the sown in his heart. This

14
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,760
means what is sown on the edge
of the road or sown on rocky ground.

15
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:22,280
It means the one who listens to
it and accepts it immediately with joy,

16
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,680
but you have no roots, it
is inconsistent and as soon as there

17
00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:29,719
comes a difficulty, a persecution for
the word, it succumbs to you.

18
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,400
Sowed among brambles means one who hears
the word, but the fans of the

19
00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:40,159
burning and the seduction of riches drown
her and become barren. Or sown on

20
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:45,120
good ground means one who listens to
the word and understands it that refrucho fruit

21
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:52,079
and will produce one hundred or sixty
or thirty by one. Lord, the

22
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,959
seed of your word always bears good
fruit. Do not allow distractions to refute

23
00:01:57,079 --> 00:02:00,200
what you want in this prayer to
reveal to me, see holy spirit.

24
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:06,280
Lord Give me your grace for your
seed of love and I know it will

25
00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:10,960
multiply in my life. The Gospel
presents Jesus preaching on the shores of Lake

26
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,080
Gealilea and since he was surrounded by
a golden crowd, I got into the

27
00:02:16,159 --> 00:02:21,479
boat, walked a little away from
the shore and preached from there. When

28
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,199
speaking to the people, Jesus uses
many parables, a language understandable to all,

29
00:02:25,759 --> 00:02:32,240
with images taken of nature and the
situations of daily life. The first

30
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:38,240
thing he relates is an introduction to
all words. The word of the sower

31
00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:45,000
who, without guarding anything, threw
seed into all kinds of soil and the

32
00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:50,199
true protagonist of this word is precisely
the seed that produces more or less fruit

33
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,919
according to the ground where it falls. The first three grounds are unproductive along

34
00:02:54,960 --> 00:03:00,639
the way. Birds eat the seed. In the rocky terrain, the buds

35
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,360
sprout quickly dry because they have no
root. In the midst of the brambles,

36
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,240
the spikes choke with seed. The
Kingdom room is the good ground and

37
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:14,080
only there does the seed catch and
bear fruit. It' s funny,

38
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:20,680
but the really amazing thing is that
the vast majority of people struggle not to

39
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,800
be someone, but to have something. They are not passionate about filling their

40
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,960
souls, but about occupying an armchair. They don' t show up,

41
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:30,400
they don' t wonder what they
have inside, but what they' re

42
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,719
going to put on the outside.
Perhaps that is the reason why there are

43
00:03:34,759 --> 00:03:38,759
so many puppets in the world,
so many merionets and so few people.

44
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,639
Yes, we must love the struggle, believe in something very serious, fight

45
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:52,560
for it, keep fighting when we
get tired of moving forward, even if

46
00:03:52,599 --> 00:03:57,479
we get tired of walking. Jesus
explains to us today' s Gospel passage,

47
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,199
that the life of the Christian and
that of every man struggles. We

48
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,120
must overcome the wind, the hardness
of the stones, the thorns. Those

49
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:10,120
who have had the fortune to work
in the field understand perfectly the word of

50
00:04:10,639 --> 00:04:14,520
the sower and it is that it
is not enough to throw seed to reap

51
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,680
abundant fruits. You have to choose
the land, you have to prepare the

52
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:25,959
land, you have to take care
of the seed and throw it in time,

53
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:30,040
you have to water, remove the
weeds and, above all, you

54
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,639
have to blind at the right time. It involves struggle, work, effort.

55
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:38,160
It is said that the kingdom of
heaven is among the mighty. It

56
00:04:38,319 --> 00:04:42,600
' s a law of life sometimes
costs. The important thing is not so

57
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:45,800
much what we do, but the
love with which we work. When there

58
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,240
is love, God blesses and still
rewards us on many occasions it does not

59
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,759
seem so at first sight. In
order to be always in the struggle,

60
00:04:55,639 --> 00:05:00,519
we have an excellent means. Prayer. Jesus used it and it always worked.

61
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,759
May we know the value of prayer
to remain in the struggle, overcoming

62
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:13,480
everyday problems for the love of God
and our brothers and sisters. Lord Jesus,

63
00:05:14,079 --> 00:05:17,199
although I think you are the most
important thing of my life. Sadly,

64
00:05:17,319 --> 00:05:23,000
I have to admit that I easily
let other things take the place that

65
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:28,000
only you have. I let your
seed drown among the thorns of my weakness,

66
00:05:28,519 --> 00:05:32,600
by allowing my feelings to govern my
actions in beer, my faith and

67
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:38,680
my convictions help my will to make
my life that good land where the seed

68
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:47,600
of your love grows and abundant fruits. He gave you the blessing, may

69
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:58,879
the goodness and mercy of the Father
God fill your heart, may the gaze

70
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:04,240
of love of God children fight in
your soul and purify you from any uneasiness

71
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:10,759
or lack. May it separate you
from God, may the love of God

72
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:17,600
the Holy Spirit grant you the peace
you need, may the tenderness of Mary,

73
00:06:17,959 --> 00:06:25,800
mother of God and our mother caress
and protect you, and may the

74
00:06:25,879 --> 00:06:29,519
strength and simplicity of St Joseph,
our father, Lord Thee, lead to

75
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,399
heaven and the blessing of God,
all of God, father, son and

76
00:06:32,519 --> 00:06:36,680
holy spirit, be upon you and
accompany you always amen
