1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:05,919
Prayer of the heart. Monday of
the fifth week of Lent holy spirit.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,839
I believe in you I hope in
you I love you. Only you deserve

3
00:00:09,839 --> 00:00:13,480
the worship of the human heart and
I must bow down to you alone.

4
00:00:14,359 --> 00:00:18,960
Only you are the glorious lord with
a beauty you can' t even imagine.

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,640
Therefore, sir, do not allow
me to worship anything as if I

6
00:00:23,679 --> 00:00:28,000
were a god, because neither Gúser
nor anything in this world is worth so

7
00:00:28,039 --> 00:00:32,079
much I recognize you as the owner, lord of my life, allow me

8
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:35,479
to lose the serenity and joy of
things that are not worth so much.

9
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:41,479
Celebrate St Cilio of Jerusalem today,
bishop and doctor of the Church, The

10
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:46,240
Gospel of St John, chapter eight
verses one to eleven. At that time,

11
00:00:46,359 --> 00:00:50,799
Jesus withdrew to the Mount of Olives
at dawn and again appeared in the

12
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,240
temple and all the people came to
him. Then he sat down and began

13
00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:00,240
to point out to them The scribes
and Pharisees take a woman caught in or

14
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:14,640
ultery and put her and put her
in the middle and tell Master, this

15
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:19,680
woman has been caught in flagrant adultery. Moses commanded us in the law to

16
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,599
stone these women. What do you
say. They said this to tempt him,

17
00:01:23,519 --> 00:01:26,560
to have something to accuse him of. But Jesus, leaning down,

18
00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:32,599
began to write his finger on the
earth. But how they insisted on asking

19
00:01:32,599 --> 00:01:36,959
him. He stood up and told
them that of you who is without sin,

20
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,560
to throw the first stone at him. Lying down again he wrote on

21
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,599
earth. When they heard these words, they withdrew one after the other,

22
00:01:47,599 --> 00:01:52,239
beginning with old men, and Jesus
was left alone with the woman who was

23
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,840
still in the middle. Jesus told
her woman, where they are. No

24
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,879
one has convicted you. She answered.“ No one, sir,”

25
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:07,120
Jesus answered. I don' t
condemn you either, and don' t

26
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,199
sin anymore. Lord, thank you
for this gospel that confirms your attitude to

27
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:15,039
sin. As Benedito sixteen said,
you' re not interested in falls,

28
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:23,360
but every time I get up here. I' m sorry. Truly repented,

29
00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:30,199
lord repented with all my heart,
of all the good that I have

30
00:02:30,199 --> 00:02:34,759
ceased to do and I trust in
your mercy and I love you and desire

31
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,039
to love you with a purer heart
and I beg you to give me that

32
00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:45,039
grace. Help me, Lord Jesus, to experience your mercy so that I

33
00:02:45,159 --> 00:02:51,680
may also dispense it to others.
A group of Jews led by some lawyers

34
00:02:51,719 --> 00:02:55,960
and Pharisees present Jesus with a woman
caught in adultery, with the intention of

35
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,319
stoning her hypocrisy and hardness of heart
that is not unworthy. They accuse a

36
00:03:01,439 --> 00:03:07,039
woman and rely on the law of
Moses in order to condemn her death and

37
00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:12,039
satisfy her with hatred and blood.
Under the appearance of justice among the law,

38
00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:15,319
they use the name of God and
his Holy Law to kill, murder

39
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:21,159
and break the most important commandment,
which is that of charity, petty attitude

40
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,520
and mercy that, instead of forgiving
those who fail and are wrong for whatever

41
00:03:25,039 --> 00:03:30,080
reasons, they feed on the sinner
to condemn them without any mercy or compassion.

42
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:36,840
This is called Phariseeism and fanaticism.
But the most regrettable and painful of

43
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:40,520
these Pharisees is that, in addition
to accusing this poor woman even makes a

44
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:46,639
woman, they wanted to take this
opportunity to accuse and condemn to death Jesus

45
00:03:46,639 --> 00:03:55,000
himself, two equally evil and murderous
targets. However, Jesus’ behavior is

46
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:09,759
totally different. It opens in her
infinite, sweet and merciful heart to forgive

47
00:04:09,759 --> 00:04:13,439
all the moral wounds of this woman. But he not only forgives it,

48
00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:16,600
but understands it, takes it and
defends it. I believe that, more

49
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:20,639
than the same forgiveness, which is
an immense gesture, the most wonderful thing

50
00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:27,319
of all is the way it offers
you infinite respect, incredible sweetness, unimaginable

51
00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:33,519
compression. Jesus does not scandalize himself
and puts the cry in heaven because this

52
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:41,160
woman has been caught in flagrant crime
of adultery. Jesus does not keep silent,

53
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,240
he keeps quiet, he pretends to
hear the accusations, he bows down

54
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,600
and writes on earth, as if
to make himself misunderstood. He turns a

55
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:54,519
blind eye and seems to see no
evil forgives. He understands human miseries,

56
00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:02,680
but as the Pharisees insisted on his
accusations, our lord joins in and responds

57
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,560
with a masterful blow from his own, as he is going to do,

58
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,759
who is sinless, who has the
first stone and after this sentence, again

59
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,959
leans and continues to write on earth. It is not the proud and defiant

60
00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:21,120
attitude of the polemist who already feels
victorious in the lawsuit does not remain in

61
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:25,439
his humble discreet supustu so as not
to humiliate or put anyone of evidence.

62
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,360
Even though the accusers do, Jesus
lets them be themselves. He wants more

63
00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:35,480
Karen to be desired before God and
his own conscience. And then the Gospel

64
00:05:35,519 --> 00:05:40,600
tells us. When they heard it, they snuck out one by one.

65
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:46,079
John adds with a certain tone of
irony, starting with older ones. We

66
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,920
have all sinned and if we are
all sinners, why do we strive to

67
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,040
be so cruel and hard with those
who fall. Not anymore. Your lord

68
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,399
had not said it at that time
of the mountain. How can you see

69
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,160
the straw from your brother' s
eye and not see the league the beam

70
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:06,360
in your hypocrite? First take the
beam out of yours and then you can

71
00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:10,800
pull the straw out of your brother' s eye. And speaking to us

72
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,920
of forgiveness, he taught us to
forgive our neighbor unconditionally, for if you

73
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:24,720
do not forgive those who offend you, neither will your heavenly father forgive,

74
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,319
he will forgive your others. Your
faults. Saint Peter, a grisologist,

75
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,399
speaking of prayer and mercy, tells
us in salmon forty- three. It

76
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:38,240
is a bad seeker that you hope
to obtain for yourself what he denies to

77
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:44,000
others, also forgiveness and compassion.
Already when two accusers have left, then

78
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,120
Jesus incorporates and expects the woman all
trembling, to approach him woman where your

79
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:54,240
accusers are. None of them have
convicted you, none of them. Lord

80
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,720
answered her with great respect, humility
and confusion, for neither am I acquiescing

81
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,160
in the advance of what wonderful words
flowed directly from the heart of God.

82
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:12,000
Jesus was the only one who could
condemn her, because he had no sin.

83
00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:15,160
And yet his attitude is immense,
stones of compassion, tenderness and mercy

84
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:20,279
toward this poor woman go and sin
no more, how much gratitude and love

85
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:27,439
will have been born in that woman' s heart. She felt respected,

86
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:31,600
accepted as she was also in her
miseries and sins, but above all,

87
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:38,759
she was understood, forgiven, accepted
and elevated to a greater divinity. This

88
00:07:39,079 --> 00:07:43,879
is the power and secret of His
Lord' s mercy. Like Prodigus said,

89
00:07:43,959 --> 00:07:48,279
the tenderness of God' s heart
destroys the past regenerates gives new life.

90
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:56,160
Pope John Paul II and his cyclical
live and mercy. He told us

91
00:07:56,279 --> 00:08:00,319
that he, the father of mercy, of the parallary, that is to

92
00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:03,800
say, acts under the influence of
a deep affection and thus explains his generosity.

93
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,879
In addition, with his mercy he
saves another fundamental good, diginity,

94
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:15,319
humanity. He told you what Jesus
does by forgiving the woman and by forgiving

95
00:08:15,399 --> 00:08:20,759
each one of us. It never
humbles us, respects us, elevates us,

96
00:08:20,079 --> 00:08:24,920
dignifies us and, above all,
brings us to the heart of the

97
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,240
father to experience the infinite love of
God. If so is the mercy of

98
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:33,840
the father, how not to approach
them to ask forgiveness and to reconcile with

99
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,759
him. What are we waiting for
to become this Lent? Why not return

100
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:43,240
to God with all your heart and
with all your soul through confession and sacraments.

101
00:08:45,759 --> 00:08:48,480
Don' t leave it for tomorrow. Today is the day of salvation

102
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:54,919
Jesus. To truly experience and value
mercy, I need to become aware of

103
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:03,639
my weakness and correspondence from Tomarcia.
Help me to have a personal encounter with

104
00:09:03,639 --> 00:09:05,879
you, as you do with the
woman of the Gospel. My pride and

105
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:11,759
sensuality slow my desire for conversion.
Lord Dame, the gift of knowing how

106
00:09:11,879 --> 00:09:18,320
to correct my faults to experience your
deep love. I give you the blessing

107
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:22,279
that the goodness and mercy of God
the Father has in your heart, that

108
00:09:22,279 --> 00:09:26,679
the gaze of love of God the
Son, penetrate into your soul and purify

109
00:09:26,759 --> 00:09:31,399
you from any restlessness and lack that
you can operate from God, that the

110
00:09:31,399 --> 00:09:35,360
love of God, the Holy Spirit
will grant you peace, that you need,

111
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,080
that the tenderness of Mary, the
mother of God and our mother caresses

112
00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:43,360
and protects you, and that the
strength and that ten Joseph in her father,

113
00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:46,840
Lord Thee, lead to heaven and
the blessing of God, father,

114
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,879
son and holy spirit, saying about
you and always accompany you amen
