Portion of the heart. Thursday of the fifteenth week of Ordinary Time, see
Holy Spirit so that I may find wisdom in the midst of my limits,
discomfort and weariness, for the sun that sets as beautiful when I am healthy
as when I am sick, help me to appreciate the beauty of things beyond
my moods. Help me enjoy what you give me in the middle of my
troubles. Come Holy Spirit and teach me to live, because many times I
can only look at what worries me, what I lack, what I dislike,
as if there was nothing more than that. Today we celebrate St Francis
of Utrech St Federal of Ulreh Bishop. The Gospel is from St Matthew chapter
eleven verses twenty- eight to thirty. At that time, Jesus cried out,
" Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and
I will relieve you, bear my yoke, and learn from me that I
am the humblest sun of heart, and you find your rest, for my
yoke carries you with hro and my light burden. Jesus asks that we go
to him, that this is the true wisdom of him, to him who
is most humble of heart, because I suffer the way of the wisdom of
the Gospel, which is not a doctrine to be learned or an ethical proposition,
but a person to be followed. He himself, the son, only
- begotten of imperfect communion with the father. Dear ones, sixteen brothers and
sisters said the Pope Vereredict. We have enjoyed the richness of that prayer of
Jesus, that we too with which of his spirit or o o o o
o r and address him in prayer with the trust of children, calling on
him with the name of Father Abba. But we must have the heart of
the little ones, of Thursdays, of spirit, of spirit to recognize that
we are not self- sufficient, that we cannot build our lives alone,
that we need God. Prayer opens us by receiving the gift of God,
his wisdom, which is Jesus himself, to carry out the Father' s
will in our life and thus find rest in the fatigues of our way until
it goes away. It also happens that when we feel the weight of work,
the temptation to rest can come to us in any way, as if
the lapse was not a thing of God. Let us not fall into this
temptation, our fatigue is precious in the eyes of Jesus who welcomes us and
who sets us up, come to me when you are tired and driven that
I am, I will relieve you when you know that our dying of weariness
can settle in the relationship, say enough for today, sir, and surrender
to the father. One knows so well that he does not sink, but
renews himself, because he who has anointed with hatred of joy, the pure
faithful of God is the Lord, he also anoints him who changes his ashes
into diadem, his tears. On occasion oil perfumed with joy and its downfall
in chants says isaias. The human being always seeks happiness and we all experience
it every day, because we truly want to be happy, but in this
quest we get tired easily, especially when we do not see any satisfactory and
convincing results. In this world, we will hardly find anything that will fully
and definitively fill our cravings for happiness, for God' s heart has made
it to our measure and only he will be able to satisfy it forever.
He knows us very well and knows what we have inside us. He knows
all about our limitations and fatigues, our weaknesses and weaknesses. That is why
they offer us a place to rest and regain strength to continue fighting for the
duration of this life. The best place in the world is himself, God,
the omnipotent and creator who becomes refreshment and relief to his creatures. More
times we have felt tired, often tired, overwhelmed, saturated and about to
explode. But how many times have we gone to rest in the arms of
God, How many times have we gone to find refuge, consur and strength
in the heart of Jesus, Christk' s heart, but not only spiritually,
but also physically, because he has given us the word and never let
anyone who has come near seeking the peace he has promised us. But at
the same time as it restores our strength, it leaves us with the teaching
that sometimes more difficult to remember to imitate him, who is more and humble
of heart, because the Lord tells us that we will find rest by carrying
his yoke, because he does not think to act as we want, but
as we need, because the yoke is gentle, it is forgiveness and it
is ours and it is our duty to imitate being humble in his goodness.
We see that he is the one who carries our burdens, our sorrows.
We would complain less and we would appreciate more, for if it were for
us what we really deserve, why we are tired, what weighs us down.
What can tire us the most is our life, the sun our very
limitations, that what enslaves us is sin. The human being always carries his
cross on his shoulders, but we ourselves make it heavier when we add to
Fardo, the bundle of sin, our own sin, St Augustine says in
this regard that working for Christ is not to tire, but to find rest,
because the best work that leads man is that of love, that of
charity. St Glorius the Great, once again wrote what can make us most
unhappy about our life is what will make us subject to the corruptibility of material
things, things and beings that perish and not God torments us with the need
to have things and then the fear of losing them to the Lord. How,
then, to turn to him means freeing us from the yoke of death
to take the yoke of Jesus’ life, from the example of humility and
meekness that should adorn every Christian. Finding rest in Christ also implies helping others
to find Him Christ does not invite some to approach Him, but says bemiz
all who are weary and we all find this way. That is why we
must invite others to approach the heart. Most precious of Jesus, most sacred,
of Jesus better said where we will find peace. Thank you, sir,
for wanting to comfort me. It is not enough for you to want
me to forgive my many offenses, but you also do me health, relief,
peace, serenity, rest and comfort. There' s no one so
lucky I don' t need these. Thank you. That is why I
do not reject your offer, but accept it with heart. Grateful. Do
not tire, sir, of seeking us or giving us the Council we seek,
because alone we could not survive an instant before the vicissitudes of this life.
Grant us one day to enjoy eternal comfort with you in heaven and give
you the blessing. I know in your heart that you may know how to
love with all of him, that your lips may be, that you may
speak with strong men, that your arms may yield their absuration, that you
may work without rest, for his love and therefore in his kingdom, that
it may be in your feet, that you may walk in the paths of
peace which, Lord, He will show you, that your eyes may be
clean, that your eyes may see Jesus in others, that they may be
your joy, that you may never lose him, even if you have reason
and may give to others in the name of father and son and holy spirit Amen.
