1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:09,240
Prayer of heart lures of the tenth
week of ordinary time. Come Holy Spirit

2
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:15,240
to give me your ever- new
life. Fill me with the amazement of

3
00:00:15,359 --> 00:00:20,160
a child to admire the world and
life that I do not get used to

4
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,239
life that let me surprise every morning, because behind everything is your Love,

5
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,239
my God. Help me to recognize
that routine does not exist, because everything

6
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:35,719
is new every day, because there
is always something that is beginning. Take

7
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:43,679
my whole life Holy Spirit and fill
it with the eternal newness of your Love

8
00:00:43,719 --> 00:00:47,479
that on this day does not pass
in vain and can discover the message that

9
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,399
you have today for my life.
Come Holy Spirit, Amen, today we

10
00:00:52,439 --> 00:00:57,840
encircle Saint of Portugal, the Gospel
of Matthew, chapter five verses thirty-

11
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,359
eight to forty- two. At
that time Jesus said his disciples. You

12
00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:06,879
heard that it was said eye for
eye and tooth for tooth. Instead,

13
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,879
I say to you, do it
in front of the one who agrabias you.

14
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,959
On the contrary, uh, if
one slaps you on the other'

15
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,400
s right cheek to want to sue
you to take off your robe, also

16
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:25,640
give the cape to whoever requires you
to walk a mile, I' ll

17
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,719
accommodate two to whom you ask to
give it and borrow it. Don'

18
00:01:27,799 --> 00:01:34,920
t run away. This Gospel page
is considered the Magna Carta of non-

19
00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:40,560
Christian violence, because it does not
consist in sinking before evil, according to

20
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:46,879
a false interpretation, of presenting another
mile another cheek, but in reciprocating the

21
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:52,640
sea with good, thus breaking the
chain of injustice. Thus it is understood

22
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:59,760
that for Christians non- violence is
not a mere tactical behavior and there is

23
00:01:59,799 --> 00:02:01,680
not gone a way of being of
the person. The attitude of those who

24
00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:06,560
are so convinced of the love of
God and of his power, who are

25
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:09,319
not afraid of fruiting evil only with
the weapons of love and truth or,

26
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,039
as you said to Joseph Mary,
drowning evil the world gives way well in

27
00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:21,000
love to enemies. It is the
core of the Christian revolution, a revolution

28
00:02:21,039 --> 00:02:25,759
that is not based on strategies of
economic, political or media power, the

29
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,800
revolution of love, a love that, in short, is not based on

30
00:02:30,039 --> 00:02:35,919
human resources, but is a gift
of God that is obtained by relying solely

31
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,800
and unreservedly on his merciful goodness side. This is the newness of the Gospel

32
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,919
that changes the world without making noise. This is the heroism of the little

33
00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:50,520
ones who believe in God' s
love and spread it even at the cost

34
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:55,240
of their lives. Sometimes it seems
like Jesus is exaggerating. If we do

35
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:00,280
not express it so clearly, it
is because we do not think it is

36
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:04,879
right to contradict what Jesus has said, although it might also be that we

37
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:09,159
have not. Understand that this speaks
to us of charity and tells us that

38
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:15,560
our charity should not depend on others
and on what they do to us or

39
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,520
what they ask of us. You
love because you want to love and you

40
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,520
can love. Love encourages us to
give everything that others need. If I

41
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:29,199
see that the other one needs ambit, the one that goes, I'

42
00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:31,159
ll give him both, although he
only asks for one garment. If the

43
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,879
other one needs my help. I
will give not only the bladders in my

44
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:40,000
hands to work with him, the
feet to accompany him and the heart to

45
00:03:40,199 --> 00:03:46,400
feel, even a little, the
love that God has for me. And

46
00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:51,520
that I will also give you with
which some pain comes, be your feet

47
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,000
on brothers, even if he himself
is the one who hits me on the

48
00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:00,120
cheek for my love depends as good
Samaritan, only on my desire to love

49
00:04:00,199 --> 00:04:03,960
and not on what others receive or
ask of me. On one occasion,

50
00:04:04,039 --> 00:04:10,919
Mother Teresa learned of a Hindu family
with eight children. I had nothing to

51
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:18,279
eat. He took a little m
and took some of the rice and took

52
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,680
it away. The eyes of the
children shone with hunger. His mother took

53
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,279
the rice, divided it and went
out with half the received one when he

54
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,160
returned and Teresa' s mother asked
him what he had done. He answered

55
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:39,160
simply they too are hungry. They
were a Muslim family neighboring mother Teresa then

56
00:04:39,319 --> 00:04:44,720
commented later that night I gave them
no more rice, since I realized that

57
00:04:44,759 --> 00:04:50,240
they too could enjoy the joy of
giving that good Samaritan represented Mother Teresa.

58
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,959
The Gospel tells us that the Samaritan, seeing the man abandoned his fate,

59
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,160
felt compassion, approached him, sold
him the wounds, great difference with the

60
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,360
priest and the Levite. They passed
by, saw it, and, justified

61
00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:11,600
by different reasonings, followed along.
The Samaritan saw the man, and he

62
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,519
was filled with compassion. Very significant
words Jesus uses here indicate that the Samaritan

63
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:26,319
experienced a deep shock within him from
where this feeling comes from. Perhaps it

64
00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:31,360
was openness of mind and heart to
the concrete reality of that wounded abandoned person.

65
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,240
As he opened the way, Samaritan
saw the same thing that the Levite

66
00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:41,279
sazurte saw, but unlike the two
of them, he allowed reality to touch

67
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,839
his heart and without further reasoning about
who he was lying there or why he

68
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,720
was like this, went out to
meet him, sold him to the exits

69
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:55,040
and took care of him. He
was not indifferent because somehow he allowed his

70
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,600
inner face to face the situation of
that person perhaps moved by the simple reasoning.

71
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:05,199
That man needs help and I'
m here and I can do something.

72
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:10,800
I can' t be indifferent and
if I were in his place I

73
00:06:10,519 --> 00:06:15,360
' d want them to do it
with me. How many times we go

74
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,839
through people who, by being with
you, have wanted and abandoned need our

75
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:24,680
help. How many times we follow
the length of our path and don'

76
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,600
t even stop to think about its
reality. Occasions we have and many in

77
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:32,519
which that person who needs us to
become his neighbor is not a stranger that

78
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:40,759
we could find abandoned on the street. It' s someone you need with

79
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:49,439
is someone akin' s forgiveness.
He' s someone we know with a

80
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,160
man and a last name. There' s a friend left, an acquaintance

81
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:57,240
suddenly, even someone from our own
family. However, in the face of

82
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,680
their suffering, their abandonment, their
needs, we are still going on for

83
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:06,680
a long time. This means closing
our hearts, today' s Gospel invites

84
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:13,879
us to question this need sincerely,
without hastening to a swift condemnation, to

85
00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:18,879
a slight absolution, without complicating ourselves
in human disquisitions. Let us be content

86
00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:23,959
with what Jesus wants to say to
us. Let our thoughts spring up and

87
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:29,680
we may hear ourselves saying things as
I would like, but I have no

88
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,839
time for anything if I have many
things to do and the responsibilities to do.

89
00:07:32,279 --> 00:07:38,160
Also, who needs to get the
most suffering done as if their own

90
00:07:38,199 --> 00:07:41,319
were not enough, is that,
deep down, I don' t know

91
00:07:41,439 --> 00:07:45,399
what to do for the other,
etcetera. We all think things like that.

92
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,079
The important thing may be to have
the courage, sincerity, and confidence

93
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:55,800
to see reality with Jesus’ eyes. Then what we have to change.

94
00:07:56,319 --> 00:08:00,279
It will be clearer in both eyes
and trusting him we can do it.

95
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:07,000
Then we will perceive more clearly how
much we are closing our hearts to others

96
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:13,399
and how open we are to their
reality, communicating inwardly and doing something to

97
00:08:13,399 --> 00:08:18,160
help them. Jesus Christ give me
the grace to make the Kingdom of Heaven

98
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,439
a reality in my life. When
I know, to respond to the aggression

99
00:08:22,759 --> 00:08:26,279
with the understanding that concern can ensure
the economic good does not lead me to

100
00:08:26,279 --> 00:08:31,399
mean and, above all, to
become an indefatigable disciple and missionary of your

101
00:08:31,439 --> 00:08:35,399
love, because the world needs you
and I must take you to the world.

102
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:39,240
I give you the blessing that God, Father, will accompany you.

103
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,440
If in your heart I looked after
you it was strong and joyful and faithful

104
00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:48,960
that God, son, make sense
of your tenderness and mercy and take away

105
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:54,279
your heart any anxiety that can make
you suffer that the Holy Spirit deduce the

106
00:08:54,279 --> 00:09:00,399
intelligence strength in your heart renewed spirit
and determination to love everyone with the heart

107
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,840
that Blessed I felt her mother'
s warmth and her loving and tender arm

108
00:09:03,919 --> 00:09:07,720
and St Joseph takes care with his
father' s heart the name of the

109
00:09:07,799 --> 00:09:11,240
father and son and of the Holy
Spirit Amen
