1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:06,639 Prayer of the heart Wednesday of the fourth week of Easter. Oh, Holy 2 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:12,640 Spirit, love of father and son, inspiring that I must think, what 3 00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:18,079 I must say, how I must say it, or that I must shut 4 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,920 up, how I must act, what I must do for the Glory of 5 00:00:22,679 --> 00:00:27,839 God and good of the Souls and my poor sanctification. Holy Spirit Give me, 6 00:00:28,359 --> 00:00:33,039 Audacity to understand, ability, to retain, faculty method, to learn, 7 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,200 subtlety to interpret, Thank you for efficiency, to speak, Give me, 8 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:44,320 right to start, direction, to progress and perfection, to finish amen. 9 00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:52,159 Today we celebrate St Fidel' s self- pephiter sailor and martyr the 10 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:58,079 Gospel of Sancan John. Chapter twelve verses, forty- four or fifty at 11 00:00:58,119 --> 00:01:02,920 that time, Jesus cried out, saying that he who believes in me does 12 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,680 not believe in me, but in him who sent me; and he who 13 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,879 sees me sees him who sent me. I have come into the world as 14 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,519 light, and so he who believes in me will not remain in darkness to 15 00:01:15,599 --> 00:01:19,120 him who prays my words and does not fulfill them. I do not judge 16 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,799 him, for I have not come to judge the world, but to save 17 00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:26,640 the world. He who rejects and accepts me and does not accept my words 18 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:32,280 must be judged by the word that I have spoken. That one will judge 19 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,879 him on the last day, because I haven' t spoken to myself. 20 00:01:36,879 --> 00:01:40,439 The father who sent me is the one who has commanded me what I must 21 00:01:40,519 --> 00:01:44,000 say how to speak and I know that his command is eternal life. Therefore, 22 00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:48,159 what I speak, I speak it as Father Jesus Christ has commissioned me, 23 00:01:51,239 --> 00:01:53,959 I believe in you, I believe in the father I have sent you, 24 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,359 I believe in your word, it is the light that illuminates my way. 25 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,519 That is why I want to hear from you and from you in practice 26 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,640 your commandment that promises me eternal life. Help me that my prayer will help 27 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:12,639 me to like her already from now on, Lord that the light and your 28 00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:15,240 word will always illuminate and consciousness. This is the way of man' s 29 00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:21,400 history, a way to find Jesus, the redeemer who goes out of life 30 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:27,840 out of love, who gives life out of love. Indeed, God did 31 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,400 not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but to save 32 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:37,120 the world through him. This tree of the Cross does not save all of 33 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:42,599 us from the consequences of that other tree where self- sufficiency and pride of 34 00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:46,879 pride began, from wanting to know everything according to our mentality, according to 35 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:52,560 our criteria, even according to the presumption of being and becoming the only judges 36 00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:57,919 in the world. This is the story of man. From a tree to 37 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,439 ot on the cross. This is also the story of God, so that 38 00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:08,639 we can say that God has a story. It is a fact that God 39 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:15,240 has wanted to assume our history and walk with us. He has humbled himself 40 00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:22,719 by becoming a man while we want to rise up, and took the status 41 00:03:22,719 --> 00:03:23,840 of a servant by becoming obedient to death on the cross. To get up, 42 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,159 God makes this way out of love. There is no other explanation, 43 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,800 only love does these things. Or we look at the Cross history of man 44 00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:38,879 and history of God we need that light, which comes from above to respond 45 00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:44,639 coherently to the vocation we have received. To proclaim the Gospel of Christ is 46 00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:51,360 not another option among others possible, nor is it a profession For the Church 47 00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:54,120 to be my missionary being does not mean to make it possible. For the 48 00:03:54,159 --> 00:04:00,280 Church, being a missionary is tantamount to manifesting her own nature, that is, 49 00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:03,199 letting herself be enlightened by God and reflecting his light. This is ours, 50 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,400 this is your service. There' s no other way. Mission is 51 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:12,479 his vocation that shines forth the light of Christ in his service. Many people 52 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,920 expect from us this missionary commitment in this regard because they need Christ, they 53 00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:23,639 need to know the face of the father. I like to think of myself 54 00:04:23,639 --> 00:04:27,120 as a boat, a small, fragile boat, a boat in the midst 55 00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:31,759 of the sea of beautiful life, yes, but at the same time tremendous 56 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,600 a sea that presents itself serene and generous in its fruits, but that is 57 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,879 terrible in its anger. He went through the sea, no doubt fascinating and 58 00:04:39,959 --> 00:04:44,759 dangerous runta during the night and drunkenness. It is easy to lose the port 59 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,199 and not reach the other shore. In the midst of this fruity and capricious 60 00:04:48,199 --> 00:04:53,439 sea, it is necessary to find a fixed point, a safe guide, 61 00:04:53,879 --> 00:04:59,319 and it is at this moment when we find it, or rather, it 62 00:04:59,439 --> 00:05:01,480 is revealed to us Jesus does not tell you that very clear, I am 63 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,959 the light of this world. He is our beacon, beacon of hope and 64 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:10,439 salvation. It is a lighthouse that points us to where the safe place is 65 00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:15,040 and also lifts the road with its light, a narrow but clear road, 66 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:21,560 during the crossing the mermaids of our selfishness and sensuality will call us to separate 67 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,839 us from the careful path. Remember that only Christ is the way, for 68 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,720 this was little. We have another help. Saint Bernard had a very good 69 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,800 sense of how to imbue Mary as a star of the seas. Saint Bernard 70 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:39,240 would release Christians like this. If there are any couples of the way of 71 00:05:39,319 --> 00:05:43,040 light and darkness prevent you from seeing the lighthouse, look star, look in 72 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,680 mouth Mary. If the winds of temptation arise and this kiss dragged by the 73 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:53,360 rocks of depression, look at the star and mouth Mary who never shuts her 74 00:05:53,439 --> 00:05:58,160 mouth to the name of Mary, who absents us from your heart. Let 75 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,879 us not hesitate for a moment to ask for her maternal affection and protection. 76 00:06:01,439 --> 00:06:04,519 If you follow her, you won' t be diverted. If the gro 77 00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:09,000 if you reel her. You won' t despair. If she' s 78 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,600 holding you, you won' t come down You' ll fear nothing. 79 00:06:11,879 --> 00:06:15,279 If he protects you with his favor, you' ll get to port. 80 00:06:16,199 --> 00:06:20,680 According to Lord the Paschal Lord, I have continued to consume his light, 81 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,480 inviting me to listen attentively, with love to your word of salvation. How 82 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,199 I have taken advantage of it, how I am with so much preparing to 83 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,279 receive the light of the Holy Spirit proximately. I' ve been able to 84 00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:38,399 give up everything that can keep me from love. Help me that I can 85 00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:44,720 always say yes to love, big and small, to remain as I follow 86 00:06:44,879 --> 00:06:50,079 your light and your word permanently. Following your light and your word will have 87 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:56,519 beneciation that the goodness and mercy of God, Father has you in your heart, 88 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,800 that the gaze of love of God, son penetrates into your soul and 89 00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:01,279 purifies you from the left, that restlessness and lack that can separate you from 90 00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:05,519 God, that the love of God, Holy Spirit grant you the peace that 91 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,600 you need, that one of Mary, mother of God and our mother caresses 92 00:07:09,959 --> 00:07:15,399 and protects you and creates strength and sentidity. St Joseph, your father and 93 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,920 lord, grant heaven, bestow heaven and the blessing of God, Father Son 94 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,959 and Holy Spirit understand about you and always accompany you Amen.
