1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:06,639 Prayer of heart Sunday of the sixth week of Easter. Come holy spirit and 2 00:00:06,679 --> 00:00:10,960 help me to put in your presence everything that worries me, everything that worries 3 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,839 me, everything that disturbs my peace. You know what my worries are. 4 00:00:16,039 --> 00:00:21,480 It' s profound to me, but I want to tell you, because 5 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,399 it' s better to share them with you than to pretend to face them 6 00:00:25,399 --> 00:00:27,440 with my own strength, my few human forces. Listen to me, sir, 7 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,280 because I cry to you with all my soul, I raise my arms 8 00:00:31,399 --> 00:00:39,759 to you and I beg you to help me. Today we celebrate Saint Hilary 9 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:46,520 of Arles, the Gospel is from Saint John, chapter fifteen mesicles nine to 10 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:52,520 fifteen seventeen. At that time, Jesus told his disciples as my beloved father. 11 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,880 Thus have I loved you, and remain of my love. If I 12 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,359 keep my commandments, it remains my love, as I have kept my father 13 00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:06,719 ' s commandments and remain his love. I have spoken to you of this 14 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,560 so that it will make me glad in you and you will relieve me to 15 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,560 its fullness. This is my commandment that you love one another as I have 16 00:01:11,599 --> 00:01:15,680 loved you. No one has greater love than the one who gives his life 17 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,519 for friends. You are my friends, you do what I command you, 18 00:01:21,599 --> 00:01:25,120 I no longer call you servants, for the servant does not know what His 19 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,799 lord does to you, I call friends, for everything I have heard from 20 00:01:29,879 --> 00:01:32,200 my father I have made known to you. It is not you who have 21 00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:36,599 chosen me. I am the one who has chosen you and appointed you to 22 00:01:36,719 --> 00:01:40,519 go and the fruit and your fruit to last, so that whatever you perish 23 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,439 to the father of my name, I will hinder you from loving one another. 24 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,879 Lord, charity, your commandment of love is the essence of Christianity and 25 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,840 must be my hallmark in everything I do, think and say. I need 26 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,840 to be docile to your grace so that it is you who take charge of 27 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,239 my life and I humbly offer it to you. In my prayer today, 28 00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:09,240 Jesus, give me the grace. Call yourself in the same way as the 29 00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:15,759 Virgin in prayer, dedication and works. Commenting on the Francisco payment. If 30 00:02:15,759 --> 00:02:21,199 we are here to praise the Lord and we speak reaffirming our will to be 31 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,800 His instruments so that they may praise God, not only some peoples, but 32 00:02:24,599 --> 00:02:30,360 all, with the same power of Paul and Gobernabe and we want to announce 33 00:02:30,439 --> 00:02:34,280 to the Lord the Gospel to the two young people so that they may mutate 34 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,080 Christ and become builders of a more eternal world. In this regard, I 35 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:43,280 would like to reflect on three aspects of our vocation called by God, Called 36 00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:47,680 to proclaim the Gospel, called to promote the culture of encounter, Called by 37 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:53,639 God. I think it is important to always rebuff this fact that we often 38 00:02:53,719 --> 00:02:59,960 take for granted in everyday checking data. It is not you who heard me 39 00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:05,199 chosen, it is I, who am chosen from Jesus in a walk again, 40 00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:09,560 again to the source of our call. We lost Mary to teach us 41 00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:15,479 to meet Jesus every day And when we become distracted that we have many things 42 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:22,000 and to sacrifice is abandoned, to take us by the hand? Let us 43 00:03:22,199 --> 00:03:29,400 ask for it Mary sees mother, when first of all, before means, 44 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:36,280 before forgiveness, when she walks half, many things and the wages are abandoned, 45 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,680 that she takes us by the hand? And when does he walk halfway? 46 00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:40,360 That way, on the other hand, they take me hand in hand 47 00:03:40,479 --> 00:03:46,080 that least pushes me out of the encounter of so many brothers and sisters who 48 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,719 are on the periphery, who thirst for God. And there' s no 49 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:53,280 one who told him not to throw us out of the house, but to 50 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,840 push us out of the house. And so let us be disciples of the 51 00:03:57,919 --> 00:04:00,560 Lord who already grants us all this grace. Here, the Pope' s 52 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,599 text, this Sunday' s Gospel passage, is a perfect continuation of last 53 00:04:04,639 --> 00:04:09,280 week, not only when a theme, but also in the verses of the 54 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:15,400 liturgy. Eight days ago, the Gospel offered for our meditation the beautiful lightness 55 00:04:15,479 --> 00:04:19,160 of life, the branches. Or in the Church he presents us with the 56 00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:24,199 application of that discourse. As we can live united to Christ to be good 57 00:04:24,199 --> 00:04:28,240 branches, friends, good friends of his, as the Father has sent me, 58 00:04:28,439 --> 00:04:31,279 he has if I sent you, you remain of my love, says 59 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:36,720 our Lord. As we meditated on the allegory of the vine, we felt 60 00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:42,600 the rewarding need to remain united with Jesus in order to have life and bear 61 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,279 the fruits of eternity. And now, sir, we' re on our 62 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,079 way. If I keep my commandments, I will remain that my love, 63 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:55,759 as I have kept my father' s commandments and prepare his love. The 64 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,319 way of life united to him is out of fear of love, but a 65 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,240 love made now real and apparent, a love of pure words or beautiful speeches. 66 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:09,279 It is a platonic and empty love within, a love of pure feelings, 67 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,199 purposes and good intentions. It is false, misleading and sterile. It 68 00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:15,160 ' s not real. It' s a farce and a pantomine. Our 69 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,759 grandparents used to say it and it was a very plastic expression. The road 70 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:25,600 to hell is paved with a hundred good intentions. You don' t want 71 00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:30,319 them to be good Christians. Or I wish and and true sucipulo of sir 72 00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:36,560 edits a resounding operative want. I want a resounding operative with all its consequences. 73 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,759 It is said that one occasion the little sister asked him as Thomas Aquinas 74 00:05:41,879 --> 00:05:45,240 her sister, when she will still be very young. Listen, Thomas, 75 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,720 what I have to do to be Saint her, but I expected a very 76 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:56,000 complicated and profound answer, but the Holy One answered her Sister to be Saint 77 00:05:56,439 --> 00:06:03,480 it is enough to want, but to want her truly, that is, 78 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:08,920 putting all the means to achieve it, with God' s help, with 79 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:16,399 works and behaviors support and confirm our repositories afterwards. Popular wisdom has condensed it 80 00:06:16,439 --> 00:06:24,199 into a very well- known sentence. Works are loves that are not good 81 00:06:24,519 --> 00:06:28,480 reasons and, in fact, there is a great stretch. We have to 82 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,639 cut that strait to show the Lord that we really love you with the works. 83 00:06:31,879 --> 00:06:35,360 So did he, as I have kept my father' s commandments and 84 00:06:35,399 --> 00:06:43,439 remain in his love. That' s the only way we' ll build 85 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,800 our house on rock and not overflowing. But the Lord makes our way even 86 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,639 more concrete. If we fulfill a commandment, s says, we will remain 87 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,000 in his love and what his commandments are. This is my commandment that we 88 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,600 love you, like them, beloved charity toward the Projimo. Charity is the 89 00:06:59,639 --> 00:07:04,839 nuck of the good news throughout the gospel. This is his new commandment, 90 00:07:05,399 --> 00:07:11,800 the distinctive century of which all would recognize his disciples and this precept of love 91 00:07:11,839 --> 00:07:16,199 of neighbor is so fundamental that this will be the first battery of final judgment. 92 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:23,000 Truly I say to you that how many times and say one of these 93 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,399 my younger brothers, to me you did it San Juan de la Cruz, 94 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:32,439 commenting on that passage, affirms with a certain air of provocation in the evening 95 00:07:32,519 --> 00:07:36,639 of life, we will be judged by the love of sovereignty. Our lord 96 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,360 claims that no one has a greater love than the one who gives his life 97 00:07:41,439 --> 00:07:45,120 for his friends. You are my friends, if you do them I command 98 00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:48,680 you and this I command you to submit to one another. This is the 99 00:07:48,759 --> 00:07:56,879 answer that Lord gives us to practice with generosity sincere and selfless love towards others, 100 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,480 towards our neighbors. Here, then, it is in secret to be 101 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,720 good branches and ariz to be true friends of Jesus. I wish I could 102 00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:11,240 have more dissipus and friends of truth already you are of the blessing, that 103 00:08:11,279 --> 00:08:15,639 the Lord be in your heart so that you know how to love with all 104 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,800 of him, that your lips may be, that he may ablate with strength 105 00:08:18,399 --> 00:08:22,839 and consecrate the resurrection, that he may be in your arms to work without 106 00:08:22,839 --> 00:08:26,000 rest for love of him and, for that matter, his kingdom, that 107 00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:28,920 your feet may be, that you may eat in the ways of peace, 108 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,919 which, Lord will show you, that it may be in your clean gaze, 109 00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:35,120 that your eyes may see Jesus in others. Hey, it' s 110 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,080 in your joy that you never lose it, even if you have motive and 111 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,600 can catch others in the name of the father and said to him and of 112 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:43,279 the Holy Spirit Amen.
