1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:08,199 Portion of the heart. Thursday of the fifteenth week of Ordinary Time, see 2 00:00:08,279 --> 00:00:16,480 Holy Spirit so that I may find wisdom in the midst of my limits, 3 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,679 discomfort and weariness, for the sun that sets as beautiful when I am healthy 4 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:27,440 as when I am sick, help me to appreciate the beauty of things beyond 5 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:32,200 my moods. Help me enjoy what you give me in the middle of my 6 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:38,039 troubles. Come Holy Spirit and teach me to live, because many times I 7 00:00:38,119 --> 00:00:41,240 can only look at what worries me, what I lack, what I dislike, 8 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:47,640 as if there was nothing more than that. Today we celebrate St Francis 9 00:00:47,719 --> 00:00:59,359 of Utrech St Federal of Ulreh Bishop. The Gospel is from St Matthew chapter 10 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:07,439 eleven verses twenty- eight to thirty. At that time, Jesus cried out, 11 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,959 " Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and 12 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,200 I will relieve you, bear my yoke, and learn from me that I 13 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,879 am the humblest sun of heart, and you find your rest, for my 14 00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:22,959 yoke carries you with hro and my light burden. Jesus asks that we go 15 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,799 to him, that this is the true wisdom of him, to him who 16 00:01:26,879 --> 00:01:30,680 is most humble of heart, because I suffer the way of the wisdom of 17 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:36,760 the Gospel, which is not a doctrine to be learned or an ethical proposition, 18 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:42,480 but a person to be followed. He himself, the son, only 19 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:52,040 - begotten of imperfect communion with the father. Dear ones, sixteen brothers and 20 00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:56,000 sisters said the Pope Vereredict. We have enjoyed the richness of that prayer of 21 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,760 Jesus, that we too with which of his spirit or o o o o 22 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:05,319 o r and address him in prayer with the trust of children, calling on 23 00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:08,840 him with the name of Father Abba. But we must have the heart of 24 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,879 the little ones, of Thursdays, of spirit, of spirit to recognize that 25 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:20,319 we are not self- sufficient, that we cannot build our lives alone, 26 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,039 that we need God. Prayer opens us by receiving the gift of God, 27 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:29,319 his wisdom, which is Jesus himself, to carry out the Father' s 28 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:34,879 will in our life and thus find rest in the fatigues of our way until 29 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:45,039 it goes away. It also happens that when we feel the weight of work, 30 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:50,080 the temptation to rest can come to us in any way, as if 31 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,639 the lapse was not a thing of God. Let us not fall into this 32 00:02:53,759 --> 00:03:00,000 temptation, our fatigue is precious in the eyes of Jesus who welcomes us and 33 00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:05,000 who sets us up, come to me when you are tired and driven that 34 00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:13,199 I am, I will relieve you when you know that our dying of weariness 35 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,120 can settle in the relationship, say enough for today, sir, and surrender 36 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:22,120 to the father. One knows so well that he does not sink, but 37 00:03:22,199 --> 00:03:27,479 renews himself, because he who has anointed with hatred of joy, the pure 38 00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:32,280 faithful of God is the Lord, he also anoints him who changes his ashes 39 00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:38,400 into diadem, his tears. On occasion oil perfumed with joy and its downfall 40 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:45,719 in chants says isaias. The human being always seeks happiness and we all experience 41 00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:52,879 it every day, because we truly want to be happy, but in this 42 00:03:52,919 --> 00:03:59,560 quest we get tired easily, especially when we do not see any satisfactory and 43 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:05,360 convincing results. In this world, we will hardly find anything that will fully 44 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:11,439 and definitively fill our cravings for happiness, for God' s heart has made 45 00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:15,800 it to our measure and only he will be able to satisfy it forever. 46 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:24,240 He knows us very well and knows what we have inside us. He knows 47 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:30,360 all about our limitations and fatigues, our weaknesses and weaknesses. That is why 48 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:35,839 they offer us a place to rest and regain strength to continue fighting for the 49 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,759 duration of this life. The best place in the world is himself, God, 50 00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:46,920 the omnipotent and creator who becomes refreshment and relief to his creatures. More 51 00:04:46,959 --> 00:04:54,120 times we have felt tired, often tired, overwhelmed, saturated and about to 52 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:59,160 explode. But how many times have we gone to rest in the arms of 53 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:06,000 God, How many times have we gone to find refuge, consur and strength 54 00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:15,040 in the heart of Jesus, Christk' s heart, but not only spiritually, 55 00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:19,519 but also physically, because he has given us the word and never let 56 00:05:19,959 --> 00:05:27,279 anyone who has come near seeking the peace he has promised us. But at 57 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,600 the same time as it restores our strength, it leaves us with the teaching 58 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:38,279 that sometimes more difficult to remember to imitate him, who is more and humble 59 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:45,160 of heart, because the Lord tells us that we will find rest by carrying 60 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:50,319 his yoke, because he does not think to act as we want, but 61 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:56,800 as we need, because the yoke is gentle, it is forgiveness and it 62 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:58,680 is ours and it is our duty to imitate being humble in his goodness. 63 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,439 We see that he is the one who carries our burdens, our sorrows. 64 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:13,240 We would complain less and we would appreciate more, for if it were for 65 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,600 us what we really deserve, why we are tired, what weighs us down. 66 00:06:16,399 --> 00:06:25,480 What can tire us the most is our life, the sun our very 67 00:06:25,639 --> 00:06:30,279 limitations, that what enslaves us is sin. The human being always carries his 68 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:38,519 cross on his shoulders, but we ourselves make it heavier when we add to 69 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:44,600 Fardo, the bundle of sin, our own sin, St Augustine says in 70 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:50,160 this regard that working for Christ is not to tire, but to find rest, 71 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,240 because the best work that leads man is that of love, that of 72 00:06:55,319 --> 00:07:00,040 charity. St Glorius the Great, once again wrote what can make us most 73 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:05,279 unhappy about our life is what will make us subject to the corruptibility of material 74 00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:10,720 things, things and beings that perish and not God torments us with the need 75 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:20,040 to have things and then the fear of losing them to the Lord. How, 76 00:07:20,279 --> 00:07:25,720 then, to turn to him means freeing us from the yoke of death 77 00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:30,639 to take the yoke of Jesus’ life, from the example of humility and 78 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:36,399 meekness that should adorn every Christian. Finding rest in Christ also implies helping others 79 00:07:36,519 --> 00:07:42,920 to find Him Christ does not invite some to approach Him, but says bemiz 80 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:49,560 all who are weary and we all find this way. That is why we 81 00:07:49,879 --> 00:07:55,759 must invite others to approach the heart. Most precious of Jesus, most sacred, 82 00:07:56,199 --> 00:08:01,680 of Jesus better said where we will find peace. Thank you, sir, 83 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,199 for wanting to comfort me. It is not enough for you to want 84 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:11,319 me to forgive my many offenses, but you also do me health, relief, 85 00:08:11,879 --> 00:08:16,879 peace, serenity, rest and comfort. There' s no one so 86 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,879 lucky I don' t need these. Thank you. That is why I 87 00:08:20,959 --> 00:08:26,560 do not reject your offer, but accept it with heart. Grateful. Do 88 00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:31,279 not tire, sir, of seeking us or giving us the Council we seek, 89 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:37,679 because alone we could not survive an instant before the vicissitudes of this life. 90 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:46,679 Grant us one day to enjoy eternal comfort with you in heaven and give 91 00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:50,600 you the blessing. I know in your heart that you may know how to 92 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,120 love with all of him, that your lips may be, that you may 93 00:08:54,159 --> 00:09:01,120 speak with strong men, that your arms may yield their absuration, that you 94 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,960 may work without rest, for his love and therefore in his kingdom, that 95 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,480 it may be in your feet, that you may walk in the paths of 96 00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:13,279 peace which, Lord, He will show you, that your eyes may be 97 00:09:13,799 --> 00:09:16,919 clean, that your eyes may see Jesus in others, that they may be 98 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,440 your joy, that you may never lose him, even if you have reason 99 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,879 and may give to others in the name of father and son and holy spirit Amen.
