Prayer of the heart. Friday of the third week of Lent come creative spirit,
visit the souls of your faithful and full of divine grace in the hearts
that you yourself created. You are our comforting gift of God, the highest
source, living, fire, charity and spiritual anointing. You spill on us
itedons. 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 and infuse your love in our hearts and with
your perpetual help strengthen our weak flesh glory to God, father and son who
raised the comforting spirit for the endless centuries. Amen today we celebrate St John
of God, the Gospel is from St Mark chapter twelve verses, twenty-
eight from now on. At that time, a scribe approached Jesus and asked
him what commandment is the first of all. Jesus answered. The first is
listening to Israel. Lord Our God is the only Lord. Thou shalt love
the Lord Thy God, with all thy heart, with all thy soul,
with thy mind, with all thy being. The second is this you will
love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.“
You are Guio,” he replied very well. Master. You are certainly
right when you say that the Lord is one and there is no one other
than Him, and that loving Him with all your heart, with all your
understanding and with all your being, and loving your neighbor as yourself, is
worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices. Jesus, seeing that he had
answered sensibly, told him that you are not far from the kingdom of God
and no one dared to ask him any more questions. Jesus, good morning.
I' m here to dilute with you. Today I like to be
by your side and to please him to do so. I want to love
you more and live charity with my neighbors, since you ask me not only
to love you, but also to love my neighbor. That is why I
ask you to thank me, Jesus, my friend, for you have made
me realize the primacy of the love of my life, love for You and
love for others. I' m only asking you to teach me to love
as you have loved me. Teach me to love my neighbor and have a
friendship with him. Just like I have it with you to know God,
our intellect. The reason is insufficient. God is fully known with the encounter
with him and by the encounter of reason, it is not enough. We
need something else. God is love and not and only by the way of
love you can know God reasonable love, accompanied by reason, but love how,
but how I can love what I don' t know loves those near
you. And this is the doctrine of the two commandments. The most important
is to love God because you are love, but the second is to love
your neighbor. But to get to the first, we must climb the steps
of the second, that is, through love of neighbor, we come to
know God who is love only by loving reasonably, but loving we can come
to that love. That is why we must love one another, because love
belongs to God and the one who loves has been begotten by God to know
God must love. Thanks to counsel’ s question, we know which of
the numerous standards the Jews had were over six hundred. It gave more importance
to Jesus. The answer is not expected and it responds clearly. You will
love your Lord, God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself and
not without reason. Pope Benedict sixteen stressed in his immense for Lent the urgent
need to defend the right to life of those born, of the elderly,
of the sick and of every man on this earth, because they too are
our neighbor and as such we must respect and love them. It is therefore
worth emphasizing that, before we go to communion, we are invited to give
peace to those next to us. As representatives of all that we will find
throughout the day, let us become aware, therefore, that we receive Christ
as a model of how we should love and give our brothers a model of
how we should give ourselves to others and be broken bread to them. Lent
is to follow the way of Christ and his Passover, and this way is
of total love. The Holy Father has mentioned to us that we must completely
fill them with the love of God. This can be achieved, since St
Paul gives us a great example when he says I am not the one who
lives. It is Christ who lives in me that it is true that all
who are with Jesus and know how to love him as well as the next
can be like Jesus, who always shows us a great example of love for
father and others. Therefore, on this day, Christ wants to invite us
closer to the Kingdom of Heaven by knowing how to love Him through the Projimo.
Live today charity with your neighbor and pray to a father of ours for
all who seek to be loved by God for his care. Lord Jesus,
after half a terratulate, as I can love you through my neighbor, I
thank you for teaching me to love knowing that not only do I need to
love that person I least love, but I can also love that one who
needs it. I give you the blessing God, almighty bless you with all
kinds of heavenly goods so that you are holy and represible in His presence pour
out upon you the riches of His grace. Teach you with the word of
truth and with the gospel of salvation that enriches you, with the fraternal charity
and blessing of God, almighty father, son, and holy spirit, come
down upon you and abide always amen
