1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:06,679
Prayer of the heart Friday of the
ninth week of Ordinary Time, Solemnity and

2
00:00:06,719 --> 00:00:12,240
He be the heart of Jesus Holy
Spirit, You who make everything clear to

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,160
me, who illuminate all the ways
for me to reach my ideal, You

4
00:00:16,199 --> 00:00:20,559
who give me the divine gift to
forgive and forget the evil that they do

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,920
to me and that in all the
moments of my life you are with me.

6
00:00:23,679 --> 00:00:27,920
I want, in this short dialogue, to thank you for everything and

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,679
confirm that I never want to separate
myself from you however much material illusion.

8
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,320
I wish to be with you and
all my loved ones in perpetual glory.

9
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:45,000
Thank you for your mercy to me
and mine. Thank you, my God,

10
00:00:45,359 --> 00:00:50,039
the Church. Today you also celebrate
Isaac of Córdoba, Martyr the Emagir

11
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:53,640
of St John, chapter nineteen verses
thirty- one to thirty- seven.

12
00:00:54,399 --> 00:00:58,759
At that time, as it was
the day of preparation, so that the

13
00:00:58,759 --> 00:01:03,520
bodies would not remain the cross on
the Sabbath, for that Sabbath was a

14
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,799
solemn day, they asked Pilate to
break their legs and to remove them.

15
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:14,000
The soldiers broke the legs of the
first one and then of the other one

16
00:01:14,079 --> 00:01:23,560
who had crucified with him, but
when he came to Jesus, seeing that

17
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,200
he had already died, they did
not break his legs, but one of

18
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,680
the soldiers with the spear tripled his
side and blood and water came to the

19
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:36,439
point. He who saw it bears
witness, and his testimony is true and

20
00:01:36,519 --> 00:01:41,560
he knows that he speaks the truth
so that you too may believe This happened

21
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,640
so that his writing would not break
a bone, and in another place the

22
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:52,799
scripture says they will look to the
one who pierced, Lord your witness gospel,

23
00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:57,439
that your heart, that blood and
water flowed from your heart, because

24
00:01:57,599 --> 00:02:00,079
you gave every last drop for our
salvation. Guide this prayer so that I

25
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:05,879
do not let that torrent of love
pass by enlighten me, so that I

26
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,639
may find the meaning of my life
through the sacred heart. Sacred heart of

27
00:02:08,719 --> 00:02:14,840
Jesus. I trust and will always
trust your goodness. This love, this

28
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,800
fidelity of the Lord manifests the humility
of your love, of your heart.

29
00:02:19,159 --> 00:02:23,560
Jesus did not come to conquer men, like the kings and the mighty of

30
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:29,319
this world, but came to offer
love with meekness and humility. Thus he

31
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:36,039
defined himself to learn from me that
I am meek and humble of heart and

32
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,599
the sense of the feast of the
married Heart of Jesus that we celebrate today

33
00:02:40,719 --> 00:02:46,400
is that we discover more and more
and envelop us the humble fidelity and meekness

34
00:02:46,479 --> 00:02:50,599
of the love of Christ, revelation
of the mercy of the father. We

35
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,360
can experience and taste the tenderness of
this love in every season of life,

36
00:02:54,039 --> 00:02:58,479
in the time of joy and sadness, in the time of health and of

37
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:05,000
endorsement and difficulty. God' s
faithfulness teaches us to take life as an

38
00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:09,199
event of his love and makes it
difficult for us to bear witness to this

39
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:14,919
love for other brothers by means of
humble and meek service. I tell you

40
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,120
an old story to illustrate it.
In a pond lived a colony of frogs

41
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,319
and the oldest toad was also believed
to be the largest and strongest of the

42
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:29,199
whole species. Every morning he sat
on the edge of the pond and began

43
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:35,560
to swell and swell to bring the
attention of his neighbors and to show off

44
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,719
his size and strength. Good day. An ox came up to drink and

45
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,919
the SAPO, seeing that it was
bigger than him, began to swell and

46
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:50,120
swell more than on other occasions,
trying to devour the ox and so much

47
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,680
swelled that it burst. This is
also the case for many men who,

48
00:03:54,879 --> 00:04:00,919
because of their ambition, pride and
arrogance, try to devour another GOOD already

49
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,639
very well said St Augustine, pride
is not greatness, but swelling. And

50
00:04:05,719 --> 00:04:12,960
what' s swollen looks big,
but it' s not healthy. Fervach

51
00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:19,480
Inizche, two atheist philosophers last year
launched their theories about the superman and the

52
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:25,519
rule of the strongest, ideas so
sad that they led to Nazi arrogance,

53
00:04:25,879 --> 00:04:31,040
raging racism and all forms of atheist
totalitarianism that pursued all the time in religion,

54
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:38,279
especially Catholic religion. These ideas were
the ob before the Second World War

55
00:04:38,319 --> 00:04:43,600
and gave rise to an abyss of
inhumanity that did not even flow through the

56
00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:48,519
tribles, concentration and extermination camps.
This sad law of the strongest many times

57
00:04:48,519 --> 00:04:55,639
imposes the criterion of behavior among men, so painful and so unfortunate consequences for

58
00:04:56,439 --> 00:05:00,519
human coexistence, And is that the
power, the ambition of frenzied and the

59
00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:05,160
arrogant pride of power can pierce the
hearts of men and create true hells.

60
00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:10,800
And yet Jesus Christ our Lord comes
to us today to speak very much of

61
00:05:10,879 --> 00:05:15,920
humility, meekness and service take upon
you, my yoke and learn from me

62
00:05:15,959 --> 00:05:19,480
that I am evil and humble in
heart and you will make your rest for

63
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:24,319
your souls. But this isn'
t a message that' s already out

64
00:05:24,319 --> 00:05:27,920
of style. Perhaps the one who
triumphs today is not the strongest man,

65
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,240
the greatest, the most powerful,
the little, the humble debelief You have

66
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:40,120
not even taken into account even more
often is ridiculed and marginalized. Nitche himself

67
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:46,439
mocked humility by saying it was a
servile vice and slave behavior. In one

68
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:51,480
of the gospels of the feast of
the Sabbath Heart Jesus presents himself to us

69
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,959
in prayer blessing his father, Father, Lord of Heaven, and earth,

70
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:00,279
because you have trusted, you have
hidden the mysteries of the Kingdom from the

71
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:08,279
wise and the powerful and their little
revealers. What a contrast of the abysmal

72
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:14,319
We think. We think that the
happy people of the world are the rich,

73
00:06:14,959 --> 00:06:16,199
the powerful, the great, the
strong and the wise. And yet

74
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,959
our lord called blessed precisely those who
on the opposite side blessed, the poor

75
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:26,319
in spirit, the meek, the
weeping, the merciful, the peaceful,

76
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:33,040
the persecuted, for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven. And today Jesus comes

77
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:38,600
out to us, he comes out
with another of his own inviting us to

78
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,160
humility. It' s just that
Jesus is crazy. No wonder. Nobody

79
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,319
listens to him. It seems that
the most always sense opposite, against current,

80
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:51,800
but it is not wrong to ask
ourselves who is the real crazy Aniche.

81
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,959
Specifically, at the end of her
life, the Turkish women jumped and

82
00:06:56,959 --> 00:07:00,759
ended up killing themselves. Jesus always
showed up so I am humble. After

83
00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:04,560
the ammunition of the Panes, when
the humbleness wanted to snatch him away to

84
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,959
do so, king hides and does
not go alone to the mountain to pray

85
00:07:10,079 --> 00:07:14,120
And when he cured leper of his
unclean illness or brought back into sight the

86
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,759
blind man of birth. When the
parlithic was made to walk, he healed

87
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,639
the Hermorroisa, resurrected Lazarus or Jairus' daughter. He didn' t play

88
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:27,480
the trumpet so everyone would find out. And finally, when it is decided

89
00:07:27,639 --> 00:07:34,160
to enter triumphantly, Jerusalem does not
do so on a white wingman or on

90
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:40,519
a mackerel Pietro Prieto, Pardon Azabache, surrounded by an army of victors,

91
00:07:40,759 --> 00:07:44,120
but mounted on a poor drunk who
was a sign of humility and peace.

92
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,160
Jesus definitely did not perform miracles to
win votes for the elections, nor did

93
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:55,199
he present himself or take advantage of
his popularity among the people to make political

94
00:07:55,279 --> 00:08:00,319
propaganda and occupy the best positions,
much less with many, like many of

95
00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:03,000
our rulers. And he was not
a populist or a demagogue like those who

96
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,560
abound today in our public squares and
puppetry, who certainly did not know that

97
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:13,000
sting and opportunism interested, nor did
he know much about those who called us

98
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:18,160
advertising and image technicians. He learned
from me that he tells us that I

99
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,240
am humbler in heart. Yeah,
he said that? He had said for

100
00:08:22,279 --> 00:08:24,839
a long time in his public life
that he had not come to be served,

101
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,199
but to serve and give his life
to the ransom for many and fulfills

102
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:33,399
it to the letter. Here is
true greatness, not that of power,

103
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:39,159
but the greatness of humility, meekness
and service. And we follow his example.

104
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,639
He assures us of the fruits that
we will get You will find,

105
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:48,759
therefore, weary for your souls,
because my gentle yoke and my light face,

106
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,000
the humble person enjoys a very deep
peace, because his heart is calmed.

107
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,879
That yoke and that burden refers to
the cross that all human beings must

108
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:05,919
bear. But Christ fills us with
peace and happiness in the midst of pain,

109
00:09:05,039 --> 00:09:09,039
because his presence and his company suffice
us and make us. He is

110
00:09:09,159 --> 00:09:13,279
our peace and it doesn' t
matter if persecutions take us. The slanders,

111
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:18,320
the insults and all kinds of lies
do not matter the persecutions. Christ

112
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:22,000
leads us out of peace because his
self is bearable and his cara light.

113
00:09:22,759 --> 00:09:28,840
He warned us that we would be
persecuted, because they also persecuted him and

114
00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:35,559
condemned him to death for slander.
But he called the persecuted blessed, and

115
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:41,120
with him we are assured of victory
and definitive triumph. Yes, Jesus Christ

116
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,960
is our peace. Jesus. There
are those who think that devotion is used

117
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:52,000
hearts, something old- fashioned from
the past, even from idolatry, forgetting

118
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,320
that it is precisely from him that
your infinite mercy springs forth. I need

119
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,720
to be satisfied with this source of
grace. Without my life he will rest

120
00:10:01,159 --> 00:10:07,879
with love and my testimony can bring
hope to others, especially to my family.

121
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,960
I gave you the blessing, that
the goodness and mercy of God stopped

122
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,919
the heart that, at the sight
of the love of God, son,

123
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,399
seems in your soul and purifies you
from any uneasiness and lack that can separate

124
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,879
you from God, that the love
of God, Holy Spirit, grant you

125
00:10:22,919 --> 00:10:26,480
the peace that you need, that
the tenderness of Mary, mother of God

126
00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:31,000
and our mother caresses and protects you, and that the strength and sheath of

127
00:10:31,399 --> 00:10:33,080
Saint Joseph does not know. Lord
lead you to heaven and overcome God almighty

128
00:10:33,159 --> 00:10:37,600
of God, father son and Holy
Spirit, come down upon you and accompany

129
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,559
you always amen
