Prayer of the heart Mars, of the Easter octave of resorption, come Holy
Spirit, without you there is nothing worthwhile. Therefore, from my doubts,
fears, wearyness and weaknesses, I want to invoke you see Holy Spirit as
a gift that is dry come to strengthen what is weak, come to heal
what is sick. Transfer me, restore me, renew me with intimate and
fruitful tuation. Today we celebrate San Francisco de Paula, founder of the order
of the minimums in Calabria. The Gospel is from John, chapter twenty verse
eleven to eighteen. At that time he went out by the sepulchre. Mary
was crying. As he wept, he came to the tomb and saw two
angels dressed in white. They sat down one at the head and the other
at the feet where you had the whole body of Jesus. They ask you,
Woman, why do you cry. She answers because they took my lord
and I don' t know where they put him. Having said that,
he would turn around and see Jesus standing, but he did not know it
was Jesus. Jesus tells her, Woman, why you cry, whom you
seek by taking it for the hortelan. He answers, sir, if you
have taken him away, tell me where you have put him and I will
pick him up and Jesus tells Mary. She turns and tells him rabuni,
which means Master. Jesus tells him to let go of me that I have
not yet gone up to Father Go and see my brothers and tell them.
I go up to my father and your father, to my God and to
your God, Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples. I' ve
seen the gentleman and he said this. Mary Magdalene, she cries, she
sees it, but she doesn' t recognize it. He realizes it'
s Jesus. Only when he calls her by name. The disciples of Mous,
depressed and with feelings of defeat, will come together with Jesus, letting
themselves be accompanied by the mysterious and walker each on different paths. They looked
among the dead for the one who is alive and it was the same Lord
who corrected the course and I what I do, what path I follow to
find Christ who lives. The living Christ, he will always be close to
us to correct the course that if we have been wrong. Why do you
seek among the dead that he is alive. This question makes us overcome the
temptation to look back on what was yesterday and pushes us forward to the future.
Jesus is not in the tomb. You are the risen, the living,
the one who was always new. His body, which is the Church,
was going to bring him to him. Yesterday is the tomb of Jesus
and the tomb of the Church the tomb of truth and justice. Today it
is the perennial resurrection that is driven by the holy spirit, which gives us
full freedom. Authentic love asks eternity to love another person, it is to
tell him you will never die, as Gabriel Marcel said. Hence the fear
of losing the loved one. Mary Magdalene could not believe in the death of
the master invaded by a deep sorrow approaches the tomb before the question of the
Angels, she is not able to admire herself. Yes, death is dramatic.
It' s our turn. If Jesus resurrected, he would have no
sense of woman, why do you weep for whom you seek How many times
Christ sets himself before us and repeats him in the questions. Mary didn'
t understand, she wasn' t able to recognize him. So are our
moments of struggle, darkness and difficulty. Mary is then when her man opens
his eyes and discovers the Ramuní master We have become accustomed to thinking that resolution
is only one thing that awaits us on the other side of death. And
no one thinks that the resolution is also to enter life more than resolution is
something that God gives to everyone who asks for it, provided that after asking
for it, he continues to struggle to resurrect. Every day, the Church
says St John Paul II offers people the Gospel, a prophetic document that responds
to the demands and aspirations of the human heart and always good news. The
Church cannot fail to proclaim that Jesus came to claim his face, to reveal
forgiveness, the face of God, and to reach through the cross and restore
salvation for all men. In boundary situations one learns to estimate reality. It
' s simple that make life possible. Everything then acquires great courage and acquires
feelings of gratitude. I' ve seen Mr Exclaim Mary. This must be
our attitude. Gratitude for having seen the Lord because he has manifested his love
to us and as Mary has called us by our name to proclaim the joy
of his resurrection to all men, that the grace of these days, of
the paschal tritus we have lived, such that we cannot contain that imperative need
to proclaim it, to share it with others. Let us go and tell
our brothers, like Mary Madalena, what we have seen and heard, this
is what it means to be Christians, to be sent, to be apostles
of the truth Jesus, to know the love that Mary Godmother experienced fills me
with comfort, She loved you and was faithful in Calvary. He stood firm
in his mission to spread with energy and conviction the proclamation of your resurrection and
was able to love thus because he felt loved, welcomed, protected by you
who see beyond weakness. Thank you, sir, for your love. I
know that you love me in the same way and I hope to correspond to
such immense love. Help me grow in love. I give you the blessing
God, Father who through the resurrection of his unbegotten, has redeemed you and
given us the grace of the filial choice. Fill you with the joy of
his blessing Christ who by his redemption obtained you perfect freedom. He grants you
to share in the eternal inheritance and you, risen from him, with him
in baptism by faith through a holy life, can come to the heavenly homeland
and the r of God, almighty father, son and holy spirit one hundred
upon you and always remain amen
