Prayer of heart. Sunday of the third week of Lent see holy spirit visits
the souls of your faithful and filled with the Divine Grace to their hearts that
you created yourself. You are our comforter, the gift of God, the
most high source, living, fire, charity and spiritual anointing. You spill
on us, the hiredones. Thou the finger of the hand of God,
Thou the promised of the Father, Thou that layest on our lips the treasures
of thy word. Light our senses with your light, infuse your love in
our hearts and with your perpetual help strengthen our flesh weak glory to God,
Father, the Son who rose again and the comforting spirit for the endless centuries.
Amen the bouquets today to St Emeterius of Calahorra, the Gospel of St
John Chapter two verses thirteen to twenty- five was approaching the Passover of the
Jews and Jesus went up to Jerusalem and found in the temple surrounding oxen,
sheep and doves and the changers sitting and making a scourge of lambs, threw
them all out of the temple, sheep and oxen and campers scattered them to
the coins and overturned them to the tables and to those sold by the dovecote
told them to take this away from here, turn it into a market,
my father' s house. His disciples remembered what was written. The zeal
of your house devours me. Then the Jews intervened and asked him what if
he showed us. To do so, Jesus answered and destroyed this temple and
in three days I will raise it up. The Jews replied. Forty-
six years it' s taken to build the temple and you' re going
to raise it between days. But he spoke of the temple of his body
and when he rose from within the dead, the books remembered that he had
said it and gave faith to the scripture and the word that Jesus had said
while he was in Jerusalem for the Passover feasts. Many believed in his name
seeing the signs he did, but Jesus did not trust them, because he
knew them all and did not need anyone' s testimony about a man,
because he knew what is within every man. Come Holy Spirit Give me,
your light in this moment of prayer, so that the zero that motivated Christ
is to pulsate those who profaned your Temple is my motivation to expel from my
life everything that can turn me away from your grace, Holy Father, that
you always know to defend with the weapon of charity those who offend you with
their indifference. In the previous two weeks we meditated on existential and spiritual ensified
desert and mountain. Now it' s our turn to stop at the temple.
This is the third stage of our journey, which is wrong and this
is also the theme of the Gospel of this third Sunday of Guarespa. If
when we talked about the desert and the mountain, we said that they were
privileged places for prayer, with greater reason is the temple. What was the
spectacle that Jesus contemplated when he entered the temple on that day a shout,
the recording of people and the discussions over the currency changes, the lawsuits,
the abuses of the sale of animals and the going and coming and everyone,
each seeking his particular interest, the merchants, the animal sellers, the guards,
the pilgrims, the temple of God literally converted by his own Ministers into
a market, into a cave of thieves. It is then that our lord,
without uttering a word, but snatched away by a most holy anger and
indignation, took some cords from which he formed a whip and with all the
fury of his Holy Jealous, began to expel the sellers, to overturn the
tables of the money changers, to knock down the chairs and to remove all
the animals from the temple. Get off. All this here sent them with
all the audacity of their authority and not covered in my father' s house,
in a den of thieves. The temple was his father' s house
and they his priests who believed themselves the pure, the prefects, had profaned
it with their thefts, with their greed, with the traffic, with their
injustices and their arbitrariness. But Jesus rebelled against that of so much hypocrisy and
falsehood and came to purify the temple. The economic interests of the priests were
too high to remain silent, and they are once again faced with Jesus as
they had done so many times to look at him and test him and ask
him with what authority he does these things. A new era has begun.
The age, the eda, the age gives sinica that he had already announced
from the beginning and his preaching and that they never understood, Jesus is the
new temple. With him it has begun in a new testament, the new
covenant, the new time of the Church and now on, it will no
longer matter so much the material eifisi of stone and wood built Jerusalem, because
the body of the Lord And is the true temple, the mystical body of
Christ, made up of all the baptized. Jesus, with his passion,
death and resurrection, also began the true Passover. He is our Passover and
reminded us of the immolated Paschal for our salvation. True liberation is not that
of Egypt, but that of the bondage of sin and eternal death. We
have thus arrived at the third stage of our literary. What is wrong with
us preparing to celebrate the Lord' s Passover? Let us now live united
with Jesus Christ, our lord, with the heart purified by him, love
to go to the brethren. The authenticity of the hidden Christians and of our
devotion must be measured by works and by charity and neighborly spirit. Holy,
I ask you for wisdom and strength to know, to defend to live my
faith that will never accept mediocrity or indifference. I often let apathy or looseness
decrease look to work. That is why I ask you to light in me
the fire of your love to be an apostle, starting with my own family.
All blessing God, almighty bless you with all kinds of heavenly goods so
that you may be holy and reprehensible. In their presence they will fall upon
you. The richness of his grace instructs you with the word of truth and
with the gospel of salvation. And make you rich with the fraternal charity and
mission of God almighty father, son, and holy spirit, come down upon
you, and abide always Amen.
