00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,919
Prayer of the heart Wednesday of the
thirteenth week, in ordinary time, come

2
00:00:05,919 --> 00:00:10,759
Holy Spirit, to give me your
ever new life. Fill me with the

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,160
amazement of a child to admire the
world and life. Let me not get

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,160
used to life, because I let
myself be surprised every morning, because behind

5
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:22,679
everything is your Love, my God
help me to recognize that routine does not

6
00:00:22,679 --> 00:00:26,239
exist, because everything is new every
day, because there is always something that

7
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:34,640
is beginning. Take all my life
Holy Spirit, and it was the eternal

8
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,520
novelty of your Love that that day
will not pass in vain and I will

9
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,359
be able to discover the message that
you have today for my life. Come

10
00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:49,000
Holy Spirit, Amen today we celebrate
Saint Thomas Apostle' s Apostle the Gospel

11
00:00:49,119 --> 00:00:52,240
is of St John, chapter twenty
verses, twenty to twenty- nine.

12
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:59,439
Thomas, one of the twelve,
called the twin, was not with them.

13
00:00:59,479 --> 00:01:03,519
When Jesus came and your two disciples
told him to see him, we

14
00:01:03,599 --> 00:01:10,040
saw the Lord, but he answered
them. If I don' t see

15
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:12,200
the sign of the nails in your
hands, if I don' t stick

16
00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:15,719
my finger in the nail hole and
don' t stick my hand in your

17
00:01:15,719 --> 00:01:19,840
side, I don' t think
so. In the eight days they were

18
00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:23,799
again within the disciples and Thomas with
them came Jesus, being shut the doors,

19
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,359
stood in the middle and said peace
to you and then said to Thomas,

20
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:32,439
bring your finger here, have my
hands, bring your hand and metalle

21
00:01:32,599 --> 00:01:38,159
my side and not be unbelievers,
but believers. Thomas answered," My

22
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,040
Lord and my God, Jesus," and said to him," Why

23
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,439
have you seen me?" You
have believed blessed of those who believe without

24
00:01:44,519 --> 00:01:51,159
seeing, Lord Jesus, how I
look, Thomas, I want immediate answers

25
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,760
to my requests. I want to
experience your presence in prayer. I want

26
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,920
not to humble myself in your presence, without remaining silent. The exterior interior

27
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,840
wants, without being attentive to be
docile to your inspirations. My poor attitude

28
00:02:05,239 --> 00:02:08,840
wants to change with your grace,
Lord Yes, that I can accomplish it

29
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:14,280
as you most apostle. I want
to tell you, my lord and my

30
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,560
God, increase my faith when the
lord approaches is not hope. The Lord

31
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:23,360
always comes with hope, always to
see the door, always When the Lord

32
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,000
comes to us close the doors,
opens them and the Lord, in his

33
00:02:27,039 --> 00:02:30,840
proximity, gives us the answer,
this hope, which is a true fortress

34
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:35,360
at Christian Christmas, is a grace, it is a gift to approach and

35
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,080
the answer and give hope, to
approach with tenderness. But let us think

36
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,080
that in the tenderness he has had
with the apostles, with the Magdalene,

37
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,599
with those of Maus, he approaches
with tenderness. Give me to eat with

38
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,919
Tomás Put your finger here, sir. It' s always like that.

39
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,599
Thus is the consolation of the Lord, that the Lord give us all.

40
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,680
The grace of not being afraid of
the Lord' s consolation, of being

41
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,759
well advised to ask for it,
for it is a consolation that will give

42
00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:08,159
us hope and make us feel the
tenderness of God, Father. Blessed are

43
00:03:08,199 --> 00:03:13,080
those who believe without having seen it
seems a lie that one of the Lord

44
00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:15,199
' s elect does not believe the
word of the apostles, but rather seeks

45
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:22,080
to believe only by the sensitive signs. Thomas seems like a person of his

46
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:27,599
time, because he only believes in
what the senses represent. The senses are

47
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:30,360
very good, because they help us
to learn things, to taste, to

48
00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:34,960
smell, to contemplate, to feel. But in the field of spiritual life,

49
00:03:35,479 --> 00:03:38,919
these hinder us, as happened to
Saint more than he wanted to see,

50
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,280
that he did not want to believe
until he saw or touched. And

51
00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:46,800
this is where God' s blessing
comes. For those who always believe the

52
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:50,319
blessing of faith it is for us, too, who are two thousand years

53
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:55,479
away from the apostles. For us
God' s blessings will come without believing

54
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,919
in all that he has promised us, but it is true that it is

55
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,960
hard for us to believe in God
and, especially, that what does not

56
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:11,800
happen is God' s providence.
I think how many times we complain perhaps

57
00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:17,079
inwardly, about so many things that
if my life were another, if I

58
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,439
had more money, if my husband, if my wife were otherwise, if

59
00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:26,240
my family, if my work had
this schedule. Yes, it is already

60
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,759
stopped to think that what happens,
that you have is a blessing from God.

61
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,439
It is good to see those people
in need of so many material things

62
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,560
that they receive you with a most
beautiful surprise, which is a prayer,

63
00:04:36,959 --> 00:04:42,040
it is a thanksgiving, but that
not for what they have, but for

64
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,920
what they are children of God.
Let us ask him to increase our faith

65
00:04:46,959 --> 00:04:49,519
that we are worthy to receive such
blessings. Propose to witness the Christian waiter,

66
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,639
in your family, in your group
of friends, work or place of

67
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,160
study. Lord, as Thomas you
ask me to live a living faith,

68
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,000
a tiva attitude, an open heart, a life maintained, always troubled in

69
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:08,000
a constant and faithful struggle to,
a lowly of ficultades. Here I am,

70
00:05:08,399 --> 00:05:13,519
sir, with our counting on me
to collaborate in the new evangelization.

71
00:05:14,399 --> 00:05:16,120
May the Father bless you, with
the life of faith, the Son,

72
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,839
with the happiness of forgiveness and mercy
and holy spirit, with the peace in

73
00:05:19,879 --> 00:05:24,040
your heart and abnigen from God,
father son and spirit holy to you and

74
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,040
always abide amen
