00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:07,400
Prayer of the heart Tuesday of the
twelfth week of ordinary time. Hey come

2
00:00:07,519 --> 00:00:12,279
Holy Spirit, fix me your ever- new life. Fill me with the

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,560
astonishment of a child who admires the
world and the life I do not get

4
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,079
used to, the life that lets
me surprise every morning, because, behind

5
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,280
everything, even your Love, my
God, help me to recognize that routine

6
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:28,399
does not exist, because everything is
new every day, because there is always

7
00:00:28,399 --> 00:00:32,679
something that was beginning. Take all
my life Holy Spirit and he will make

8
00:00:32,679 --> 00:00:36,600
the eternal novelty of your Love that
that day will not pass in vain and

9
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,719
I will be able to discover the
message that you have for my life.

10
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:49,119
Come Holy Spirit. Amen today we
celebrate St Maximus of Turin and St William

11
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:57,320
and Berceli the Gospel of St Martheus
chapter seven verses six to fourteen. At

12
00:00:57,359 --> 00:01:02,920
that time, Jesus told the disciples
not to give holy things to dogs nor

13
00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:07,560
to cast away your pearls. They
will imprison the pigs and then turn to

14
00:01:07,599 --> 00:01:14,200
destroy you treat others, as you
want me to evade this is the law

15
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:19,840
the prophets enter through the narrow gate. Wide is the door and wide the

16
00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:23,920
way leading the prediction and many enter
through them that narrow is the door and

17
00:01:25,239 --> 00:01:30,719
distress the way leading life, and
few give with them what Jesus means what

18
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:34,719
is the door through which we must
enter and why Jesus speaks of a narrow

19
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:41,799
door. The image of the door
is repeated several times in the Gospel and

20
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:47,840
refers to that of the house,
the home where we find security, love

21
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,560
heat. Jesus says that there is
a door that leads us into the family

22
00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:56,560
of God, into the warmth of
the house, into Communion. With him.

23
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,239
This door is Jesus himself. He
is the door in is the step

24
00:02:01,239 --> 00:02:06,560
towards salvation. He leads to the
father and the door that is Jesus is

25
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,439
never closed. It is always open
and open to all, without distinction or

26
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,159
excursions, without privileges, because Jesus
does not exclude anyone. Jesus, in

27
00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:21,240
the Gospel tells us that being Christians
is not to have a label. We

28
00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:25,719
are Christians of etiquette or of truth
responds within you to the Lord that we

29
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:31,240
are not Christians of etiquette, but
Christians of truth of heart, sexistians to

30
00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:36,280
write and to deny faith in prayer, in the hours of charity, in

31
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,280
the promotion of justice, in doing
good through the narrow door that is Christ

32
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:45,360
must spend our whole life. Jesus
invites us, as I say, to

33
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,520
enter through the narrow door. We
can ask ourselves, sir, in my

34
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,840
daily life, what is the narrow
door. And you can cast this confused

35
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:55,919
idea on us, and maybe we
don' t understand it. But what

36
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:01,280
Christ is really asking us to do
is to be and live the teachings he

37
00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:06,639
has left us before the path of
denial and why all these denials to get

38
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:13,479
through the narrow door leading to eternal
life. The figure of the door is,

39
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,000
in this context, very revealing.
On the one hand, to detail

40
00:03:17,039 --> 00:03:21,960
that the door is narrow to or
angusta. Jesus tells us that the entrance

41
00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:27,879
is not easy. The figure becomes
even clearer when he himself says enter through

42
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,360
the narrow door, for chi is
the door to go wide, the path

43
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:36,000
that leads to perdition and I am
many who enter through it. And,

44
00:03:36,039 --> 00:03:38,080
on the other hand, there'
s the time factor. The door will

45
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,280
close in a moment. It is
a fact of fact that we cannot forget.

46
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:49,199
As Francis said today, it is
fundamental and it is with greater reason.

47
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:53,280
If we consider that there might be
no tomorrow, then let us strive

48
00:03:53,319 --> 00:04:00,520
and begin to do so today.
This is how the father speaks, the

49
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,800
master of the house, who closes
the door before the call of those who

50
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,159
were left out. He answers with
this tremendous phrase. I don' t

51
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,280
know who you are Stay away from
me. Jesus puts us at the forefront

52
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:15,080
of the dramatic possibility that I have
arrived on the final day, when we

53
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,199
stand before the Father, do not
recognize us, we know each other,

54
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,360
do not know who we are,
how we might be unaware at such a

55
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,560
point. Or the sin of forming
the image of God himself put within us

56
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:31,120
by believing us is the result of
an existence lived from the back of love.

57
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,639
On the contrary, let us ask
ourselves what we need to do to

58
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:42,199
be recognized. Strive, as Jesus
says, to live love by cooperating with

59
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,480
the strength of the Holy Spirit that
our forms inwardly consecrate us with the Lord

60
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:51,000
Jesus. That is, in short, the holiness which, as Pope Benedict

61
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:57,639
XVI explained, does not consist in
performing extraordinary enterprises, but in joining Christ

62
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,279
in living, his mysteries, in
making our attitudes, his thoughts, his

63
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:09,199
behaviors. Holiness is measured by the
statue that Christ reaches in us by the

64
00:05:09,879 --> 00:05:14,759
degree as with the power of the
Holy Spirit. We model our whole lives

65
00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:18,639
according to yours. It is to
be like Jesus, as Saint Paul signed,

66
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,800
because those whom he had known beforehand
he destined to reproduce the image of

67
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:30,240
his son. We have a very
clear and precise mission to preach the Gospel

68
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:36,879
to everyone and we cannot be satisfied
until we see our task finished. Our

69
00:05:38,079 --> 00:05:43,240
precious pearls are in our hearts every
time we receive them in the sacrament of

70
00:05:43,319 --> 00:05:47,680
the Eucharist. Hence giving is born
the need to ask God our Father Lord

71
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:53,480
that we never leave him alone and
that he knows us gives the grace to

72
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:58,600
come to his presence to enjoy the
fruit of our denial. Lord help me

73
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,959
to give more example of my vocation
as an authentic Christian. My Lord,

74
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,480
and my God, I am all
yours You are my shepherd, Lord Dame,

75
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,959
courage to follow the path of sacrifice, which is the one that leads

76
00:06:10,959 --> 00:06:14,680
to heaven. I want to be
happy in your presence. Enjoy me being

77
00:06:14,759 --> 00:06:20,720
an untiring transmitter of truth. I
give you the blessing that God, the

78
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:26,279
Father who accompanies you, is of
your heart to take care of you and

79
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,079

81
00:06:31,399 --> 00:06:35,680
I can make you suffer that I
