00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,719
Prayer of the heart Wednesday of the
tenth week of ordinary time. Holy Spirit,

2
00:00:06,839 --> 00:00:10,359
You who make everything clear to me, who illuminate all the ways for

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,439
me to reach my ideal, You
who give me the divine gift of forgiving

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,079
and forgetting the evil that they do
to me and that in all the moments

5
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,320
of life you are with me.
I want, in this short dialogue,

6
00:00:21,679 --> 00:00:26,280
to thank you for everything in confirming
that I never want to separate myself from

7
00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:30,600
you however much material illusion is.
I want to be with you and all

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:35,039
my loved ones and perpetual glory.
Thank you for your mercy to me and

9
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:40,039
mine. Thank you, my God. Today we celebrate Saint Onofre of Egypt

10
00:00:40,439 --> 00:00:48,000
Aracoleta, the Gospel of Matthew,
chapter five verses seventeen to nineteen. At

11
00:00:48,039 --> 00:00:51,719
that time he said high jesus.
Do not believe that I have come to

12
00:00:51,759 --> 00:00:55,840
abhor, to read the prophets,
I have not come to bolir, but

13
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,679
to the pruritus, or I assure
you that before they will pass in heaven

14
00:00:59,679 --> 00:01:00,479
and earth they will fail to fulfill
until the illuminous letter or tida of the

15
00:01:00,479 --> 00:01:04,760
law. One who skips only one
of the less important precepts and thus teaches

16
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:08,719
only men will be at least important
in the Kingdom of Heaven, but whoever

17
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:14,040
fulfills and teaches us will be great
the Kingdom of Heaven, Pope Francis said

18
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:21,719
about this text the following, what
advantages we have received to fulfill God'

19
00:01:21,719 --> 00:01:26,000
s commandments, while the proud are
doing evil, multiplying and even provoking God

20
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:34,000
who give impunity. Many times we
see this people bad or better said,

21
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,159
people who do evil, it seems
that life is doing well. They are

22
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:41,480
happy, they have what they want, they lack nothing, because this one,

23
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,239
who is a brazen, who doesn' t care about God or us,

24
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,519
who is an unjust and bad person, who goes well in life,

25
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,040
has everything he wants and we,
who want to do him well, have

26
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:59,120
so many problems. The answer is
found in the psalm which proclaims blessed man

27
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,680
who does not follow the counsels of
the wicked and finds his joy, that

28
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,560
the joy of the Lord is something
first. Now we see, now we

29
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,840
do not see the fruits of these
suffering people, of these people who bear

30
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,800
the cross as they saw Holy and
Holy Saturday. The fruits of the crucified

31
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,759
son of God from his sufferings were
not seen. Likewise, what the psalm

32
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,960
says about the wicked, about whom
we think all is well with him,

33
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,960
says straw that overflows the wind,
for the Lord protects the way from the

34
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,919
righteous and righteous, but the way
of the wicked ends badly. The faith

35
00:02:36,159 --> 00:02:40,120
we gain through the Gospel is an
enormous treasure that gives us the knowledge of

36
00:02:40,159 --> 00:02:46,639
Christ and through him comes to life. However, it is our duty to

37
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,479
convey the word that we have received
according to your command and go throughout the

38
00:02:51,479 --> 00:02:57,159
world to preach the Gospel. We
cannot remain alone in the experience of his

39
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,439
word when there are so many people
in this world who do not know him.

40
00:03:01,039 --> 00:03:06,800
Thus, every baptized person is called
to be a witness and apostle to

41
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:13,800
Jesus, a friend of mine who
has already died of tremendous cancer, repeated

42
00:03:13,879 --> 00:03:19,520
many times in his illness and pain. How many good people there are and

43
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,520
I am really pregnant and there is
much good we can do, although we

44
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:29,039
think very little of what we can
do. But that little bit is asked

45
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,639
of us by the Lord because he
transforms it into a lot. I met

46
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:38,360
Miguel many years ago in an accident
when he was twenty- two years old

47
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:44,599
who said tetraplegic for life. He
died consumed in his room, from his

48
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,199
village house. He took care of
his mother, who is already in heaven.

49
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:52,840
Miguel spent a lot of time in
the hospital, as nurses, the

50
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,599
doctors took great care of him and
each stay of Miguel in the hospital was

51
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:00,759
a party. Why Michael always carried
joy, peace and a permanent smile despite

52
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:09,479
his permanent pain. She studied with
Miguel the day before she died She couldn

53
00:04:09,759 --> 00:04:13,039
' t speak to me or die. Then his cousin, who is a

54
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,319
great priest friend of mine who also
died, told me that Michael died smiling.

55
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:23,279
His mother had put a little cotton
wet in water in his mouth to

56
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:29,839
relieve him and managed to say before
he died. Sir, I' m

57
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,079
cold, my pain, my thirst
for my warmth. He was a saint

58
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:39,360
of those who never wrote anything,
but with what God writes straight with some

59
00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:45,319
crooked ones. To me, Miguel’ s example helped me a lot and

60
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,720
changed my life. Michael was a
messenger of the kingdom of God. Without

61
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:55,040
drawing attention, passing by hidden,
because it is not uncommon for us to

62
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,079
ask about the sense of suffering.
What in such varied ways it afflicts us.

63
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:04,199
These are questions that can torment and
paralyze and desamise us or, on

64
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:11,560
the contrary, fill us with a
new and enriching dimension alien to any sterile

65
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,040
rebellion. On his trip to Cuba, St John Paul II also approached a

66
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:24,879
pain enclosure, at San Lázaro Shrine. The pontiff did not get there,

67
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,600
there he did not get there as
a theorist, but as a witness of

68
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,439
his own flesh, of the meaning
of the value of suffering when he welcomes

69
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:41,040
himself by confidently approaching God the Grich
and Mercy. In fact, St John

70
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:44,879
Palo II experienced to himself the loss
of a family, the ordeal of hard

71
00:05:44,959 --> 00:05:49,639
work, the oppression of a Marxist
dictatorship, a repeated attack by the Crophan,

72
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:56,959
various diseases, an old age increased
by all the previous vicissitudes and the

73
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,839
weight of the ide is found out
by its spiritual vis-à- vis

74
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,000
and by so many contrarieties. He
knew very well what he was saying when

75
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:09,439
he assured the erpods Saint Lazarus that
pain is a mystery. He said many

76
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,639
times unsculptible for reason is part of
the mystery of the human person, which

77
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,199
is only clarified in Jesus Christ,
who is the one to reveal to man

78
00:06:18,199 --> 00:06:25,800
his own identity. Only from him
can we find meaning to everything. It

79
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,959
is Christ who gives answers to questions
about the various misfortunes that may come upon

80
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,079
them, but he does not do
so in an abstract and conceptual way.

81
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:41,639
Christ gives no answer to a theory
about grief. Man perceives the sacrificial response

82
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:48,199
as he himself becomes a sharer of
Christ' s sufferings. That is to

83
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:54,399
say, there is an experimental personal
response if you will, when the man

84
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:59,040
touched by grace decides not to see
very heavy crosses, but the only one

85
00:06:59,399 --> 00:07:03,680
as of Christ that he, Christ
himself, carries not without mystery. Paul

86
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:10,759
also wrote these words in the Letter
to the Colossians. Now he says I

87
00:07:11,399 --> 00:07:15,480
am glad of my sufferings for the
others and I supple in my flesh what

88
00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:18,439
is missing from the tribulations of Christ
by his body, which is the Church.

89
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:25,399
Certainly, Christ' s passion lacks
nothing, only that, like Paul,

90
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,120
he knows very much so jealousy to
run along with them. This is

91
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,519
the sense of pain that each one
must perceive personally seeking the closeness of Jesus

92
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:42,720
Jesus a very high sense of continuing
to make redemption. Perhaps those words of

93
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:48,160
the founder Opus DEI can help your
troubled heart. Don' t give up

94
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:54,279
on the cross. He said resignation
is an ungenerous word. He wants the

95
00:07:54,879 --> 00:07:58,079
cross when you really want it.
Your cross will be a cross without a

96
00:07:58,079 --> 00:08:03,920
cross. And I assure you like
him that like him, you will find

97
00:08:03,959 --> 00:08:09,560
Mary on the way. I give
you the blessing of the goodness and mercy

98
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,680
of God, Father, has the
heart, that the gaze of love of

99
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:16,120
God, son, perish in your
soul and be purified from any restlessness and

100
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:20,800
lack that can separate you from God, that the love of God the Holy

101
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,360
Spirit and grant you the peace you
need, that the tenderness of Mary,

102
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,120
mother of God and our mother caresses
and protects you and the strength and simplicity

103
00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:33,440
of St Joseph, our father,
Lord led you to heaven and the mission

104
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,919
of God. Almighty father, son, and holy spirit descend upon you and

105
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,159
accompany you always amen
