00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:09,759
Heart Prayer Thursday of the seventh week
of Easter. Help me holy spirit so

2
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:15,599
that I can look at others with
your patient eyes. I want to recognize

3
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:20,359
your love for all human beings,
also for those people that I cannot love

4
00:00:20,399 --> 00:00:26,039
with patience and compassion. And compassion
is all important to the loving heart of

5
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,120
Jesus. They are all sacred and
valuable. No one has been born by

6
00:00:30,519 --> 00:00:34,320
chance, but it is an eternal
project of your love. Free me from

7
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:39,960
condemning and prejudging others. I would
like to imagine their sufferings, their distresses,

8
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,479
their weaknesses that they have difficulty overcoming. Help me always find some excuse

9
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:48,880
to excuse them and not look at
them with bad eyes. Eyes pour out

10
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:54,320
to me all the patience I need
see holy spirit. Today we celebrate St

11
00:00:54,719 --> 00:01:02,560
Simon Stock the lowly Salukah, chapter
of St John was chapter seventeen verses,

12
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,480
twenty to twenty- six. At
that time, Jesus raising his eyes to

13
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,120
heaven gold, saying not only for
them immediately, but also for those who

14
00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:15,519
raise in me by their word,
that they may all be one, as

15
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,359
your father in me and I in
you that they also be one with less,

16
00:01:19,719 --> 00:01:25,079
that the world may believe that you
have sent me I have given them

17
00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:29,640
the glory that you have given me
to be one, as we are one

18
00:01:29,719 --> 00:01:33,599
I in them and you in me, that they may be one completely,

19
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,120
so that the world may know that
you have sent me and I have loved

20
00:01:37,239 --> 00:01:42,159
them as you have loved my father. This is my wish that those you

21
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:47,280
have given me be with me where
I am and behold my glory which you

22
00:01:47,359 --> 00:01:51,879
gave me because you loved me before
the founding of the Father world. Just

23
00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:55,840
if the world has not known you, I have known you and these have

24
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,760
known that you sent me I have
made known to them and will make known

25
00:01:59,799 --> 00:02:06,200
to them your man, so that
the love you would bring into them and

26
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,159
I in them, so that they
may be one as we are one,

27
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,680
I in them and you in me
read today. It has not been a

28
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,479
repeated request for so many centuries.
The Lord prays, at the end of

29
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:21,879
his life, in a solemn way, for the unity of all men,

30
00:02:22,479 --> 00:02:27,080
putting as a reference the unity of
the most holy tride. And it is

31
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,599
that we experience in as much place
the light among men as among Christians,

32
00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:36,479
and this is a tremendous pain for
the Church. We do today in our

33
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,560
prayer meditating on the Church. The
Church is a gift to save men,

34
00:02:39,719 --> 00:02:46,240
not in isolation, but by constituting
them as one people gathered together in the

35
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:51,840
unity of the father, son and
Holy Spirit. The Church, dear and

36
00:02:51,879 --> 00:02:55,639
founded by Christ, wishes to serve
only for this purpose that every man may

37
00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,000
find Christ, so that Christ may
walk with each one of us on the

38
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:07,360
path of life. For the achievement
of this unique purpose, the Church,

39
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:13,520
with the assistance of the Holy Spirit, transmits and guarantees the truth that Jesus

40
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,560
Christ has revealed and keeps alive and
present the means of salvation that is instituted,

41
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,400
that is, the sacraments and prayer. That is why, throughout the

42
00:03:21,439 --> 00:03:24,560
year, the Church, in her
liturgy, will present us with the main

43
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:30,360
steps and mysteries of Jesus' life, so that, as we contemplate them,

44
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:36,840
we will always find new virtues,
that we imitate new motives of gratitude,

45
00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:39,199
new invitations to an ever more dedicated
love. The Church is mother and

46
00:03:39,199 --> 00:03:44,599
teacher as she walks in this world, yearn for the definitive and perfect union

47
00:03:44,639 --> 00:03:49,439
with God that is given only in
heaven and cares as a loving mother of

48
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:53,719
all her children, concerned that all
will come to eternal bliss, constantly facilitates

49
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:59,840
to them the means of salvation that
she receives from Jesus Christ and especially the

50
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:05,439
sacraments. It said in a very
beautiful way. São Paulo. This is

51
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:11,439
it, the Church is our mother. We owe it all to her.

52
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,120
She has begotten us to new life, to the life of grace that will

53
00:04:15,719 --> 00:04:19,240
provide us with our eternal happiness.
He has given us faith and with his

54
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:24,920
magisterium, he keeps it whole and
fruitful. She has given us grace,

55
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,000
she is the dispenser of the sacraments, she has given us charity, she

56
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,120
unites us, she educates us in
love, in true humanism, in understanding

57
00:04:34,519 --> 00:04:40,879
and in edifying that of herself.
He guides us, defends us, directs

58
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,560
us along the paths of hope,
anticipates the catological desires of future life and

59
00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:50,680
makes us like his happiness in advance. So far, Paul' s text

60
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:56,519
is this we love the Church.
To call the Church is to confess with

61
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,079
strength her supernatural character, that is, to look at her with the eyes

62
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:05,519
of faith and to trust that the
gates of hell will not prevail against her

63
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:12,279
is not to judge her in a
human way, without theological faith, looking

64
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,560
only at the greater or lesser quality
of certain ecclesiastics or of certain Christians.

65
00:05:15,319 --> 00:05:19,240
The most important thing in the Church
is not to see how people respond,

66
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,199
but to see what God does.
Just as this is God and man,

67
00:05:24,439 --> 00:05:29,720
and many see only man. The
Church is also Christ and men, and

68
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,720
many see men, but let us
say it clearly. The program is men.

69
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:42,040
Today it becomes more necessary to know
and spread the teachings of the Pope,

70
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,759
to speak to the teachings of the
Magisterium, because the Church is called

71
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,160
to make in the world the light
of Christ shine in the world, reflecting

72
00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:55,439
it in itself as the light of
the moon reflects the light of the sun.

73
00:05:56,319 --> 00:06:00,279
In the Church the ancient prophecies concerning
the Holy City of Jerusalem have been

74
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,560
fulfilled, as the wonderful prophecy of
Isaiah Lift up thee Jerusalem, which comes

75
00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:10,120
to your light, shall the kings
walk in your light when they answer from

76
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:15,800
your dawn says Isaiah chapter sixty.
This must be done by the lecipils of

77
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,759
Christ, after learning from him to
live. According to the style of the

78
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:26,480
Beatitudes, they will have to draw
all men to God through the witness of

79
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,519
the Alumna love. Thus your light
to men so that you may see some

80
00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:32,639
works and give glory to your father, who are the heavens the Church,

81
00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:36,959
willingly respecting the areas that are her
own, which are not her own.

82
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,839
It points to a moral course that
is not divergent or contrary, but coincides

83
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,639
with the demands of the dignity of
the human person and the inherent freedoms of

84
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:53,879
the human person and that constitute the
platform of a healthy society. Human societies

85
00:06:53,959 --> 00:06:59,199
cannot without becoming criminals, conduct themselves
as if God did not exist and do

86
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,399
not take up religion tour, as
if it were something strange to them,

87
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,639
or that could in no way be
useful to them. Excluding the action of

88
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:11,240
the church founded by God, of
the laws, of education, of youth,

89
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,839
of the family is a criminal error
of the encyclical and mortal law of

90
00:07:15,839 --> 00:07:19,560
Leo XIII. Love for the Church
will always lead us to defend it.

91
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:26,199
The Church has suffered and suffers the
defamation of slander has been persecuted and continues

92
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,839
to be so. Do not say
that the Church was always allied with the

93
00:07:31,079 --> 00:07:36,079
powerful and therefore accomplices in the slavery
of peoples. Christianity was born as a

94
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:41,680
promise of liberation and was therefore fiercely
fought by the princes of the nations.

95
00:07:42,759 --> 00:07:46,839
Review the history of the Church and
you will see that everyone, from the

96
00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:49,439
emperors of the first years to the
governments of our time, has opposed and

97
00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:58,680
decimated Christians. The Church ah improved
humanity because she has been faithful to Christ

98
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,560
and has lent it to the extent
that her commandments have been faithful. In

99
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,439
the two thousand logs of history.
The Church has always accomplished her threefold task.

100
00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:11,920
The proclamation of the word of God, the celebration of the sacraments and

101
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:18,279
the service of charity are tasks that
involve each other and cannot be separated from

102
00:08:18,279 --> 00:08:20,720
each other. For the Church,
charity is not a kind of activity of

103
00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:24,680
social existence that could also be left
to others, but belongs to its nature

104
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:31,200
and is an irrenunciable manifestation of its
own essence. Love for the Church is

105
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:37,320
synonymous with fidelity to the people of
God and to be faithful to the Churches

106
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,200
also to live in intimate communion with
the pastors placed by the Holy Spirit to

107
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:46,240
govern the people of God is to
accept with docility the Magisterium, is to

108
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,320
give to recognize its teachings. To
be fierce to the Church is not to

109
00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:54,080
be dragged away by doctrines and hydrogies
contrary to Catholic dogma. Love for the

110
00:08:54,080 --> 00:09:00,320
Church carries with it prayer for the
Pope and for the Bishops. The pontiff

111
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:05,240
is the one who acts as Christ
on earth. We have called on him

112
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,080
to listen to him, because in
his voice is the truth and we want

113
00:09:09,159 --> 00:09:13,879
this truth to reach all the inhabitants
of the earth without deformation, so that

114
00:09:13,919 --> 00:09:20,480
many disoriented see the light and many
afflicted recover hope to pray for the Pope

115
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,399
and the Bishops. It is one
of the longest duties of charity of Christians.

116
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,240
Mary is attached to my great mystery
of the Church, that she and

117
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:33,399
the Church are inseparable, as she
and Christ are. Mary reflects the Church

118
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,399
before her, she is her person
and, in the midst of all the

119
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:43,720
tribulations that afflict and grieve the Church, she remains the star of salvation.

120
00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:48,799
She is its true center of trust, although very often its periphery weighs on

121
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:56,480
our soul. Let us ask the
Most Holy Virgin Materère Clesie that every day

122
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:03,639
we more and more open ourselves to
the Church to almighty God, bless you

123
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,440
on this day when her son ascended
into heaven and opened the way of glory

124
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,480
to enter AE with him Christ,
who appeared in his disciples after his resolution,

125
00:10:13,039 --> 00:10:16,039
also shows himself full of mercy to
you when he comes to the final

126
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,840
judgment and when he proclaims a purse
with all to the father He gives you

127
00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:24,600
the joy of experiencing that which remains
in you until the end of the world,

128
00:10:24,879 --> 00:10:31,480
as he promised, and the blessing
of God almighty father, son,

129
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,639
and holy spirit descend upon you and
remain always amen
