00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:08,919
Prayer of the heart. Friday of
the third week of Lent come creative spirit,

2
00:00:09,199 --> 00:00:12,919
visit the souls of your faithful and
full of divine grace in the hearts

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,559
that you yourself created. You are
our comforting gift of God, the highest

4
00:00:19,559 --> 00:00:25,679
source, living, fire, charity
and spiritual anointing. You spill on us

5
00:00:26,199 --> 00:00:30,559
itedons. Thou the finger of the
hand of God, Thou the promised of

6
00:00:30,679 --> 00:00:34,439
the Father, Thou that layest on
our lips the treasures of thy word.

7
00:00:35,359 --> 00:00:40,880
Light our senses with your light and
infuse your love in our hearts and with

8
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,560
your perpetual help strengthen our weak flesh
glory to God, father and son who

9
00:00:46,679 --> 00:00:53,960
raised the comforting spirit for the endless
centuries. Amen today we celebrate St John

10
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,799
of God, the Gospel is from
St Mark chapter twelve verses, twenty-

11
00:00:59,799 --> 00:01:03,520
eight from now on. At that
time, a scribe approached Jesus and asked

12
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:11,000
him what commandment is the first of
all. Jesus answered. The first is

13
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,480
listening to Israel. Lord Our God
is the only Lord. Thou shalt love

14
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,840
the Lord Thy God, with all
thy heart, with all thy soul,

15
00:01:19,079 --> 00:01:22,920
with thy mind, with all thy
being. The second is this you will

16
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,519
love your neighbor as yourself. There
is no commandment greater than these.“

17
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,560
You are Guio,” he replied
very well. Master. You are certainly

18
00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:34,359
right when you say that the Lord
is one and there is no one other

19
00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:38,799
than Him, and that loving Him
with all your heart, with all your

20
00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:42,239
understanding and with all your being,
and loving your neighbor as yourself, is

21
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,799
worth more than all burnt offerings and
sacrifices. Jesus, seeing that he had

22
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,560
answered sensibly, told him that you
are not far from the kingdom of God

23
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,760
and no one dared to ask him
any more questions. Jesus, good morning.

24
00:01:55,799 --> 00:01:57,920
I' m here to dilute with
you. Today I like to be

25
00:01:57,959 --> 00:02:02,120
by your side and to please him
to do so. I want to love

26
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:07,480
you more and live charity with my
neighbors, since you ask me not only

27
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,599
to love you, but also to
love my neighbor. That is why I

28
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:15,039
ask you to thank me, Jesus, my friend, for you have made

29
00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:19,800
me realize the primacy of the love
of my life, love for You and

30
00:02:20,479 --> 00:02:23,120
love for others. I' m
only asking you to teach me to love

31
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:28,280
as you have loved me. Teach
me to love my neighbor and have a

32
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,520
friendship with him. Just like I
have it with you to know God,

33
00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:38,159
our intellect. The reason is insufficient. God is fully known with the encounter

34
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,560
with him and by the encounter of
reason, it is not enough. We

35
00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:46,719
need something else. God is love
and not and only by the way of

36
00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:52,280
love you can know God reasonable love, accompanied by reason, but love how,

37
00:02:53,800 --> 00:03:00,439
but how I can love what I
don' t know loves those near

38
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:06,120
you. And this is the doctrine
of the two commandments. The most important

39
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:08,960
is to love God because you are
love, but the second is to love

40
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,960
your neighbor. But to get to
the first, we must climb the steps

41
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,599
of the second, that is,
through love of neighbor, we come to

42
00:03:16,599 --> 00:03:23,280
know God who is love only by
loving reasonably, but loving we can come

43
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,719
to that love. That is why
we must love one another, because love

44
00:03:27,759 --> 00:03:31,360
belongs to God and the one who
loves has been begotten by God to know

45
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:38,479
God must love. Thanks to counsel’ s question, we know which of

46
00:03:38,479 --> 00:03:46,039
the numerous standards the Jews had were
over six hundred. It gave more importance

47
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,759
to Jesus. The answer is not
expected and it responds clearly. You will

48
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,080
love your Lord, God with all
your heart and your neighbor as yourself and

49
00:03:53,159 --> 00:04:00,360
not without reason. Pope Benedict sixteen
stressed in his immense for Lent the urgent

50
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,520
need to defend the right to life
of those born, of the elderly,

51
00:04:05,039 --> 00:04:09,680
of the sick and of every man
on this earth, because they too are

52
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:15,639
our neighbor and as such we must
respect and love them. It is therefore

53
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,680
worth emphasizing that, before we go
to communion, we are invited to give

54
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:25,040
peace to those next to us.
As representatives of all that we will find

55
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,839
throughout the day, let us become
aware, therefore, that we receive Christ

56
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:35,399
as a model of how we should
love and give our brothers a model of

57
00:04:35,439 --> 00:04:42,319
how we should give ourselves to others
and be broken bread to them. Lent

58
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,360
is to follow the way of Christ
and his Passover, and this way is

59
00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:53,000
of total love. The Holy Father
has mentioned to us that we must completely

60
00:04:53,079 --> 00:04:56,399
fill them with the love of God. This can be achieved, since St

61
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,600
Paul gives us a great example when
he says I am not the one who

62
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,800
lives. It is Christ who lives
in me that it is true that all

63
00:05:04,879 --> 00:05:10,959
who are with Jesus and know how
to love him as well as the next

64
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,279
can be like Jesus, who always
shows us a great example of love for

65
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,399
father and others. Therefore, on
this day, Christ wants to invite us

66
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,879
closer to the Kingdom of Heaven by
knowing how to love Him through the Projimo.

67
00:05:24,079 --> 00:05:27,519
Live today charity with your neighbor and
pray to a father of ours for

68
00:05:27,639 --> 00:05:31,920
all who seek to be loved by
God for his care. Lord Jesus,

69
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,279
after half a terratulate, as I
can love you through my neighbor, I

70
00:05:36,319 --> 00:05:44,000
thank you for teaching me to love
knowing that not only do I need to

71
00:05:44,079 --> 00:05:46,680
love that person I least love,
but I can also love that one who

72
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:53,759
needs it. I give you the
blessing God, almighty bless you with all

73
00:05:53,800 --> 00:06:00,680
kinds of heavenly goods so that you
are holy and represible in His presence pour

74
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,199
out upon you the riches of His
grace. Teach you with the word of

75
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,839
truth and with the gospel of salvation
that enriches you, with the fraternal charity

76
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,399
and blessing of God, almighty father, son, and holy spirit, come

77
00:06:13,399 --> 00:06:16,959
down upon you and abide always amen
