1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:06,879
Prayer of the Heart Friday of the
eighth, week of ordinary time visitation of

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,519
the Virgin Mary. Help me with
holy spirit so that I can look at

3
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:18,920
others with patient eyes. I want
to recognize your love for all human beings,

4
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,519
also for those people that I cannot
love with patience and compassion. They

5
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:30,000
are all important to the loving heart
of Jesus. They are all sacred and

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,240
brioso. No one has been born
by chance, but it is a project

7
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,799
of love, of eternal, of
your love. Free me from condemning and

8
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:45,200
prejudging the former. I would like
to imagine their sufferings, their distresses,

9
00:00:45,799 --> 00:00:53,600
those weaknesses that they have difficulty overcoming. Help me always find some excuse to

10
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,079
excuse them and not look them in
the eye. It pours in me all

11
00:00:58,119 --> 00:01:03,359
the patience I need. Come Holy
Spirit, we celebrate Saint Petronila of Rome

12
00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:07,760
Virgin and Martyr the Gospel of St
Luke. Chapter one, verses, thirty

13
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:12,680
- nine to fifty- six.
In those days, Mary rose up and

14
00:01:12,719 --> 00:01:18,079
set her way to the mountain,
to a city of Judah. He went

15
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:23,120
into Zechariah' s house and greeted
Elizabeth. It happened that when Elizabeth heard

16
00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:26,680
a greeting from Mary, she jumped
the creature from her womb. Elizabeth was

17
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,879
missed by the holy spirit and raising
her voice, you cried out among the

18
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,040
women and blessed by the fruit of
your womb. Who am I to be

19
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:38,719
visited by my lord' s mother, for as soon as your greeting came

20
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:45,239
to my ears, the creature leaped
with joy into my womb. Blessed is

21
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,280
she who has believed, for what
the Lord has told her will be fulfilled.

22
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,120
Mary said proclaim my soul. The
greatness of the Lord My spirit rejoices

23
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,439
in God, my Savior, because
he has looked at the humility of his

24
00:01:57,519 --> 00:02:01,840
slave from now on. He will
congratulate me all generations, for the mighty

25
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,120
war done great in me his holy
name, in his mercy reaches his faithful

26
00:02:07,519 --> 00:02:12,479
from generation to generation. With his
arm he sometimes scatters the proud of heart,

27
00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:16,039
casts down from the throne, the
mighty, and exalts the humble,

28
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,240
the hungry, the full of goods, and the rich, he dismisses them

29
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:27,960
empty. Israel his servant helped him
by mercy, as he would have promised

30
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,919
to our fathers, in behalf of
the great and her offspring forever. Maria

31
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:39,719
stayed with Isabel about three months and
returned home. The Magnificat text presents Mary

32
00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:46,080
as a peregerina of love, but
Elizabeth draws attention from her faith and,

33
00:02:46,719 --> 00:02:51,759
referring to her, pronounces the first
vienalenturanza of the happy gospels of which she

34
00:02:51,759 --> 00:02:55,599
has loved. This expression is like
a key that does not know Mary'

35
00:02:55,719 --> 00:03:00,280
s intimate reality. For San Juan
n i i i Ir. The greatest

36
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:05,080
title of the Lord' s mother
is that of a pilgrim of faith as

37
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,840
the daughter of Zion, She follows
in the footsteps of Abaran, who by

38
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:13,439
faith obeyed and went out to the
land to be inherited, but not knowing

39
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,080
where she was going. This symbol
of the preponderance of faith illuminates the inner

40
00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:23,759
history of Mary, the dear par
excellence as suggested by the Vatican Council II,

41
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:30,120
the Blessed Virgin advanced on the pilgrimage
of faith and faithfully maintained the Union

42
00:03:30,199 --> 00:03:34,639
with her children of the cross.
It must also be for us that faith

43
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,120
enlightens our life. The path of
faith that Our Lady walks was not easy.

44
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:45,479
The eruption is the starting point where
Mary begins all the way to God.

45
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,919
A path of faith that knows the
omen of the sword that passes through

46
00:03:50,919 --> 00:03:55,520
the soul. It passes through the
tortuous paths of the silo of Egypt and

47
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,280
the inner darkness. When Mariano understands
the n t i d ons Jesus at

48
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,439
the age of twelve in the temple, but he keeps all these things in

49
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:10,840
his heart. In the darkness the
hidden life of Jesus also unfolds, during

50
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:16,439
which Mary must resound within her the
beatitude of Elizabeth through an authentic fatigue of

51
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:26,519
the heart. Certainly, in Mary' s life there is no lack of

52
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,399
gusts of light and peace, like
the Buddha of Cana, where, despite

53
00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:33,519
apparent indifference, Christ takes his mother' s prayer and realizes the first sign

54
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:45,079
of revelation, raising the faith of
the disciples. In the same counterpoint of

55
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,000
light and shadow of revelation and mystery, stands in ludears the two beatitudes referred

56
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,000
to us by Saint Luke, who
directs the mother of Christ, a woman

57
00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:58,079
of the multitude, and who Jesus
assigns to those who hear the word of

58
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,920
God and keep it at the top
of this earthly loss in faith is Golgotha,

59
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:09,680
where Mary lives intimately the paschal mystery
of her son. In a sense,

60
00:05:10,399 --> 00:05:14,680
she dies as a mother at the
death of her child and opens herself

61
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,120
to the resurrection with a new motherhood. With regard to the Church, on

62
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:23,399
Calvary, Mary experiences the night of
faith as there will be on Mount Moria

63
00:05:23,519 --> 00:05:29,199
and after the illumination of Pentecost,
she continues to make a pilgrimage at the

64
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:35,040
feasts of assumption, when the son
takes her in the eternal bio lans the

65
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:41,199
blessed Virgin Mary continues to precede the
people of God. His exceptional pilgrimage of

66
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:46,800
faith represents a constant point of reference
for the Church, for individuals and communities,

67
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,160
for peoples and nations and, in
a certain way, for all humanity.

68
00:05:55,240 --> 00:06:00,560
She is the star of the third
millennium, as she was at the

69
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,360
beginning of the Christian Lea, the
dawn that preceded Jesus, the horizon of

70
00:06:03,399 --> 00:06:10,879
history. Indeed, Mary was born
chronologically before Christ and begot him and inserted

71
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,000
him into his Mara history, turning
to her to guide him to the Father,

72
00:06:15,319 --> 00:06:19,560
to Christ and to the Father also
in the generous night of evil and

73
00:06:19,639 --> 00:06:24,920
of the moment of doubt, crisis
and silence and suffering. This has always

74
00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:29,959
been understood by the Church in all
the centuries and by the two lungs East

75
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,800
and West, as for example,
the acatist hymn, which in twenty-

76
00:06:34,199 --> 00:06:40,480
four stanzas is lyrically high its figure
in the fifth stanza dedicated to the visit

77
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:46,120
of Isabel Esclava. Save the autumn, save or branch of the fruit incorrupt,

78
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:53,920
Save the pious stand you grow,
Save you plants to the one who

79
00:06:53,959 --> 00:07:00,160
implants life. Hail oh fruitful field
of copious graces, Hail or be filled

80
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:05,839
with divine gifts. Save a meadow, germs of all delight. Hail to

81
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:13,439
the sea, you prepare the safe
way. Salve incense of grace, prayer,

82
00:07:14,079 --> 00:07:18,399
save offering that the world reconciles,
Save God' s mercy for man,

83
00:07:19,079 --> 00:07:26,240
Save man' s trust with God, Blessed virgin and wife. The

84
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:31,360
visit of A Elizabeth concludes with the
singing of the Magnitude A hymn that goes

85
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:38,319
through as a perennial melody every Christian
century, a hymn that creates the hearts

86
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:44,439
of the triciples of Christ above the
historical divisions that we are committed to operate

87
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:50,480
with a view to full communion.
Saint Ambrose comments that he encourages them to

88
00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:56,879
militarize daily that in all he says
resides the soul of Mary to glorify the

89
00:07:56,879 --> 00:08:01,160
Lord, that in all resides Mary' s spurt to result in God.

90
00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:05,920
While it is true that there is
physically only one mother of Christ by faith,

91
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,800
Christ is the fruit of all,
because every soul receives the verb of

92
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:15,839
God with the condition of remaining blameless, preserved from the moment it is from

93
00:08:15,879 --> 00:08:22,439
evil and sin, keeping chastity in
an unaltered purity. So every soul that

94
00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:24,879
comes to this state of leaping to
the Lord, just as Mary' s

95
00:08:24,959 --> 00:08:31,439
soul leaped to the Lord and her
spirit trembled in God the Savior. Indeed,

96
00:08:31,839 --> 00:08:37,480
the Lord was magnified, as you
have read elsewhere. Proclaim with me

97
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:43,120
the greatness of the Lord Not because
the human word can add something to the

98
00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:46,720
Lord, but because he grows in
us, because Christ is the image of

99
00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:50,759
God, so the soul that does
something just and religious. Proclaim that image

100
00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:58,159
of God in the likeness of who
she has been created, then, proclaiming

101
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,200
it in a certain way, participates, is her greatness and rises. It

102
00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:07,639
seems that he reproduces this image in
it through the splendor of the colors,

103
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,480
of his good works and, to
some extent, copies it for his virtues.

104
00:09:11,879 --> 00:09:18,039
Mary celebrates the first of God and
his grace that chooses the last and

105
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,000
the despised, the poor of the
lord of whom she speaks. The Old

106
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,720
Testament changes their fate and introduces them
as protagonists in the history of salvation.

107
00:09:28,919 --> 00:09:33,840
Since God saw her with love,
Mary became a sign of hope for the

108
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,840
multitude of the poor of the latter
of the earth, who will be the

109
00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:41,799
first of God' s Kingdom.
She faithfully copies the choice of Christ,

110
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,200
her son, who repeats to all
the afflicted in history come to me,

111
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:52,120
all who are burdened and weary and
I will relieve you. The Church follows

112
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:58,639
Mary and the Lord walking along the
tortuous paths of history to raise, promote

113
00:09:58,639 --> 00:10:03,240
and value the immense procession of poor, hungry, humiliated and offended women and

114
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:11,039
men. The humble virgin of the
zaed, as St Ambrosius affirms, is

115
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,799
not the God of the temple,
but the temple of God as such to

116
00:10:15,919 --> 00:10:18,080
all those who recoil. She guides
them to the encounter with God triality,

117
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:24,639
father, son and holy spirit and
I give you the blessing God almighty.

118
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,440
Bless you with all kinds of heavenly
lives so that you may be holy and

119
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:33,440
reprehensible in His presence, pour out
upon you the riches of His grace.

120
00:10:33,159 --> 00:10:37,639
Teach you by the word of truth
and the gospel of salvation. And make

121
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:43,000
you rich with fraternal charity and the
blessing of God almighty father, son,

122
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:50,399
and holy spirit sit upon you and
abide always amen. I ask you for

123
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,519
a brief prayer for me, because
today thirty- one May, I fulfill

124
00:10:54,559 --> 00:11:00,879
forty years of priesthood. On a
day like today in Saint Peter A and

125
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,080
seventy and so many more he ordained
us priests. St John Paul II.

126
00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:05,600
Thank you for rustling.
