1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:08,240
Prayer of the heart. Monday of
the thirteenth week of ordinary time, come

2
00:00:09,919 --> 00:00:14,279
Holy Spirit to give me your ever
new life. Fill me in the amazement

3
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,160
of a child to admire the world
and life that I do not get used

4
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,039
to life that let me surprise every
morning, because behind everything is your Love,

5
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:28,480
my God. Help me to recognize
that routine does not exist, because

6
00:00:28,519 --> 00:00:31,839
everything is new every day, because
there is always something that is beginning.

7
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:37,759
Take all my life Holy Spirit and
fill with the eternal novelty of your Love

8
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,280
that this day does not pass in
vain and I can discover the message and

9
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:47,759
you have for my life. Come
Holy Spirit. Amen today we celebrate St

10
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:53,240
Esther, biblical character, the Gospel
of St Matt chapter, eight verses,

11
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:58,439
eighteen. At twenty- two,
when Jesus saw himself surrounded by the crowd,

12
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:03,560
he sent over to the other side
and a seat approached him and said,

13
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,280
Master, I will follow you wherever
you go and Jesus said to him,

14
00:01:08,719 --> 00:01:12,359
the foxes have dens and the birds
of the sky nests, but the

15
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,799
son of man has nowhere to lay
his head. Another of the disciples told

16
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,840
him," Sir let me go
first to bury my father and Jesus tells

17
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:26,599
him to follow me and let the
dead bury his dead" Lord increases my

18
00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:32,760
faith, my hope and my charity. Theoretically, I too want to follow

19
00:01:32,879 --> 00:01:36,719
you have been faithful to the countless
gifts of your grace. But you know

20
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,640
my weakness, my attachments today I
kneel before you and I beg you to

21
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,840
give me the light and strength of
your spirit, holy, see holy spirit

22
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,640
that nothing separates me from the first
thing that is my life, which is

23
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:57,319
in my life, which is God
who reads attentively, discover who. The

24
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:02,480
biadventures are like a veiled inner biography
of Jesus, like an account of his

25
00:02:02,519 --> 00:02:07,759
figure. He who has no place
to rest his head, is the true

26
00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:14,560
poor, he who can say of
himself come to me because I am simple,

27
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,280
humble of heart, he is the
really humble. He is truly the

28
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,719
pure of heart and therefore with tempers
God without ceasing is the builder of peace.

29
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,120
He is the one who suffers for
God' s sake. In the

30
00:02:29,199 --> 00:02:34,039
path of tunanza the mystery of Christ
himself is revealed and we are called to

31
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,599
enter into Communion with him, but
precisely because of his hidden Christological character.

32
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:44,759
The beatitudes are signs that indicate the
way also to the Church, which must

33
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:50,159
recognize in it its model guidelines for
the follow- up that affects the faithful

34
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:55,680
face, although in a different way
according to the various vocations, Jesus,

35
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,879
being among so many people, passes
to the other river of the lake,

36
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,520
not to depart, but to be
also with the other side, so that

37
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,879
everyone can listen to him. For
when Jesus speaks his heart burns with the

38
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,080
desire to purify his father, he
burns to show the love that God has

39
00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:17,199
for us, a love that is
not massified, but personal, a love

40
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:22,520
that is addressed to each one by
our first name and surname, as soon

41
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,439
as Jesus arrives on the other side
and immediately a dodger tells him I will

42
00:03:27,479 --> 00:03:30,360
follow you wherever you go and Jesus
gives him this answer that desperate her.

43
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:38,639
Surely the dodger was frozen at this
answer, for he no longer knew what

44
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,800
to say. Jesus, being God, has no place to reciprocate his head.

45
00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:49,240
Jesus is that he invites, calls, but finds no generosity from those

46
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:55,560
to whom he is called. Often
you find fear, selfishness seeking your own

47
00:03:55,639 --> 00:04:00,800
realizations and projects. That' s
why they don' t have where their

48
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,159
heads reign. But he also said
don' t be afraid. I'

49
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:09,080
ve defeated the world. Jesus keeps
walking, I said his gaze to a

50
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,000
disciple and still does not ask him
the question. In fact, he doesn

51
00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:15,639
' t even say anything. The
disciple comes forward telling him. Lord let

52
00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:20,879
me go first to bury my father. It would even seem a little out

53
00:04:20,879 --> 00:04:26,000
of reply. However, Jesus,
with that same serene gaze full of peace,

54
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,000
looks at his eyes, puts his
hand on his shoulder and tells him

55
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,759
to follow me and let the dead
bury his dead. Lord, if you

56
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:39,519
have words of eternal life, why
your voice has made me foolish. Jesus

57
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,560
calls them all. He asks each
of you for something. There are those

58
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:47,920
who call greater love and understanding in
marriage, in courtship or others to a

59
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:54,439
greater concrete commitment to be better Christians, to live the fall in the family

60
00:04:54,439 --> 00:04:59,120
as an expression of their love or
to a greater dedication of our life.

61
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,360
Perhaps he asks me to follow him
more closely in the religious or consecrated life

62
00:05:03,439 --> 00:05:09,759
or the priesthood, or perhaps it
would be the most ordinary thing to form

63
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:15,959
a Christian family. In short,
God is calling us and the Holy Spirit

64
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:20,560
inspires each one. So let'
s do two things each. But first,

65
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:26,199
reflect on what God asks of me
and end this day trying to find

66
00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:30,920
out. Second, ask me how
I' m going to answer it,

67
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,639
Lord do it to me as you
want Jesus to tell me today. Thank

68
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:41,160
you for your answer and your generosity. Today I find where to rest my

69
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:46,279
head. Give you the blessing that
blesses your father with the larda of faith

70
00:05:46,319 --> 00:05:49,399
and said with the happiness of forgiveness
and mercy and the Holy Spirit with the

71
00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:53,480
father your heart and the blessing of
God, father, son and holy spirit,

72
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,879
saying about us and remain always amen
