Prayer of the heart Monday of the fifteenth week of ordinary time see Holy Spirit.
Today I want to give you my future until the last day of my
life. I want to walk illuminated by your light to know where I'
m going, so I don' t wear out energies on things that aren
' t worth it. I don' t want to be obsessed with the
future and that' s why I prefer to give it in your presence and
let myself be carried away by your impulse Holy Spirit heals my anxiety so that
I accept that everything comes to its time and in its time. Or we
celebrate San good adventure. Doctor of the Church. The Gospel is from St
Matteus chapter ten verses, thirty- four from now on. At that time
Jesus said to his apostles. Don' t think I' ve come to
earth you sow peace. I have not come to sow peace, but swords.
I' ve come to foe the man with his father, the daughter,
his mother, the new one, his mother- in- law.
The enemies of Caga, some of them will be those of their own house.
Whoever loves his father and mother more than me is not worthy of me.
He who loves his son I, his daughter more than me, is
not worthy of me. Whoever doesn' t take his cross and follow me
is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it and whoever
loses his life for me will find it. He who receives you receives me
and he who receives me receives him who sent me. He who receives a
prophet because he is a prophet will have a prophet' s wage? And
the one who receives a righteous, why is it fair? The one who
gives to drink will have just pay, even if it is only a glass
of fresh water to one of these poor ones. Just because it' s
mine, my disciple won' t lose his pay. I assure you.
When Jesus had finished giving these instructions to his twelve disciples, he departed there
to teach and preach in others in their cities. Lord thank you for this
moment of prayer. Grant me the light to come out of that false peace
in which I settle my life, avoiding the authentic commitment of my faith Holy
Spirit fill me with your grace so that I can deepen in what you mean
to me today through the Gospel. Saint Mary, Mother of Mount Carmel,
Give me the grace to know how to listen to your son, Lord Grant
me, who gives me the Baiglesia is always marked by the seal of generosity
and joy. Pope Francis says," Let us keep our gaze fixed on
Jesus, because the c that is our yes to realization, to the filial
relationship with him comes from him. It comes from Jesus you are the only
mediator of this realization between us and our father, who is in heaven.
Jesus is his son and we are his children. For this reason, Jesus
says I have come to bring division. It is not that Jesus wants to
divide men among himself. On the contrary, Jesus is our peace, our
reconciliation. But this peace is not the peace of the graves, it is
not neutrality. Jesus does not bring neutrality. That peace is not a compound
at any cost to follow Jesus with forsaking evil, selfishness and choosing good,
truth, justice, even when this requires sacrifice and renunciation of one' s
own interests. And this does divide, we know, divide even the closest
relationships. But attention, it is not Jesus who divides. He puts the
criterion of living for themselves or living for God and for others to become,
serve or serve. Obey self to obey God. Here is how Jesus is
a sign of contradiction. Today, as yesterday, Jesus has few friends and
humanly speaking being a prophet of misfortunes is not the best way to attract people
to general trouble. We take these warnings as a kind of omen and end
up blaming the evil that happens to us just after the one who sought to
warn us of the possible misfortunes of our life. San are prophetic, unpleasant
forgivenesss, because they tell us uncomfortable things that do not correspond to what we
wanted for ourselves. But not listening to these tips is a ridiculous attitude,
because it is like trying not to see the sign that indicates the path we
have been looking for so long and with so much anxiety. Perhaps we too
were running away from God' s warnings or as capricious children after Dad'
s scolding we say okay, excuse me, I' ll do what you
told me and then we behave our way. But when we repeat the same
mistake for the umpteenth time, it is we who suffer the consequences of our
stubbornness. The message of Jesus, when accepted in its entirety, changes the
mentality, changes the whole mind of the world, because it is only Christ
who can give them true happiness on this earth. Lord Well, you know
that I want to be holy, but that I easily forget that the holiness
of that forge in the renunciation of self- denial, generosity, self-
interest, personal oblivion to favor the good of others, makes it possible to
prove that there is greater happiness in giving than in receiving and helping to modify
my holiness in the daily evidence of the virtues that magnify my love for You
and for my neighbor, that closest one that I later forget. I give
thee the blessing that the Lord be in thy heart, that thou mayest love
with all him, that he may be in thy lips, that thou mayest
speak with strength, and of his resurrection, that he may be in thy
arms, that he may work without rest for his love, and that I
may post his kingdom, that he may be in thy feet, that thou
mayest walk in the paths of peace, that the Lord may show thee,
that he may be in thy eyes clean, that thy eyes may see Jesus
in others, that he may be in thy joy, that thou mayest never
lose it, though thou have reason, and mayest give to others in the
name of the father, and of the son, and of the holy spirit Amen.
