Heart Prayer Sunday of the ninth week of Corpus Christi' s Ordinary Time.
Help me holy spirit so that I can look at others with your patient eyes.
I want to recognize your love for all human beings, also for those
people I can no longer love with patience and compassion. They are all important
to the loving heart of Jesus. They are all sacred and valuable. No
one has been born by chance, but it is an eternal project of your
love. Free me from condemning and prejudging others. I wanted to go and
imagine their suffering, their anguish, those weaknesses that you cook for them to
operate. Help me always find some excuse to excuse them and not look at
them with bad eyes. Drain in me all the patience I need see holy
spirit. Today we celebrate the Corpus Christie, the Gospel of Saint Mark,
Chapter fourteen verses twelve from now on. On the first day of the 12th
century, when the Paschal picture was sacrificed, they told Jesus, the disciples
where you want us to go and prepare for you the Passover supper. He
sent two disciples telling them to go to the city and you will find a
man carrying a pitcher of water, follow him and the house into which you
tell the owner. The teacher asks where is the room in which I am
going to eat the Passover as disciples or a large room will be taught on
the top floor, arranged with libanans, prepared there wax the disciples, left,
arrived in the city, found what had been said and prepared the Passover
supper. While they were eating, Jesus took the bread, pronounced the blessing,
broke it and gave it to them, saying Thomas this is my body
taking a cup, pronounced the thanksgiving, gave it to them, and everyone
saw him and told them this is my blood, blood of the covenant,
shed for you all. I' m sure he won' t see the
fruit again. I' m still sorry. While they were eating, Jesus
took a bread, pronounced the blessing, broke it, gave it to them
by saying," Take this my body by taking a cup, uttered the
thanksgiving, gave it to them, and they all drank and told them this
is my blood, blood of the covenant, shed for all of you?
" I am sure that I will not drink the fruit of the vine again
until the day the new wine returns in the Kingdom of God, after singing
the psalm to us, they went out to the Mount of Olives. Saint
Paul says in one of the texts preserved from the Institution of the Eucharist.
Brothers. I have received a tradition that comes from the Lord and that in
my turn I have transmitted to you that the Lord Jesus, from the night
that they were to deliver him, took bread and pronounced the thanksgiving, broke
it and said this is my body that is given for you. It makes
this memory of me. He did the same with the chalice after dinner,
saying this chalice of the new alliance sealed with my blood. Do this every
time you bear in remembrance of me. These words are becoming more and more
impressive, which the priest says clearly and slowly every day at Mass and which
are of divine effectiveness. Indeed, from these words spoken by the ordained priest,
bread and wine are transformed into the body and blood of the Lord It
is no longer pal or wine without its substance, but its substance is the
body and blood of Christ. Even if what we see on the outside is
the same as before. This is our faith today in many places in the
world. Maybe he did it last Thursday, that I didn' t do
it fish Play Thursday celebrates this beautiful solemnity of Corpus Christi. For us Christians
it is a special day, as it is on a Holy Thursday, on
which we solemnly and with great joy celebrate this gift that God has granted us
with the possibility of being able to feed us from his body and blood that
give us glarty and that anticipate us heaven. Why does God do things like
that I don' t know. They are God' s ways different from
ours. The best explanation that I have read at the spiritual level is that
made by St Joseph Mary in new families, saying thus to consider the human
experience of the farewell of two people who want to always wish to be together,
but the duty that it is obliges them to leave their eagerness would be
to continue without being separated and they cannot the love of the man who,
however great, is limited, resorts to a symbol. Those that are issued
are changed a memory, perhaps a photograph with an additive so lit that it
is surprising that it does not keep the cardboard. They can' t do
more, because the power of creatures doesn' t go as far as their
wanting what we can' t can. Lord Jesus Christ, perfect, God,
imperfect man, does not leave a symbol, but reality. The same
anger remains with the father, but he will continue to grow with men.
He will not bequeath us a simple gift that makes us evoke his memory,
an image that tends to be disfigured, drawn over time, like the photograph
that soon appears, faded and yellowish and meaningless for those who were not protagonists
of that loving moment. Under the species of bread and wine, he is
really present or his body, his blood, his soul and his divinity.
I think it' s all well explained there. There is no need to
reason more in the modesty that we can reason before this gift because it is
a mystery. Long ago I explained to one of my nieces whom I married
celebrating the sobriety of Corpus, that when the soul receives God sacramentalized, it
is like flooded by the sun that fills it with light, of color of
joy and described it with the poor human words with which we men can do
it. It is like those stunning sunsets that we see in Galicia, where
he lived many years in which it seems that the sun grows he heard everything
burning with red and gold dyes, and so in the soul everything is filled
with that beauty of God that God gives us with his sacramental presence. Blessed
Titus brands Brand, greeting from Dutch carmita, spent several years in the German
concentration camps. During the Nazi persecution. He had forbidden the closing of the
Eucharist, but he stood with us prisoners and recited in memory the prayers of
the Mass the Gospel and preached to his fellow prisoners. Then they made the
spiritual community. He fixed his eyes on each of the prisoners and told him
the body of our Lord Jesus Christ keep your soul for eternal life. Soon
he was transferred to Dachau' s laguer. There the German priests could celebrate
and clandestinely passed the Holy Host to the other priests who were not German.
As a titus, he communed, gave communion to other fellow prisoners and kept
a little bit in the case of his glasses for the night worship of that
bread at all special, drew strength to endure the tortures and offer his sufferings.
One day he was severely beaten by the guard I was born from the
camp and stood to be beaten without hatred and curses. Then he confessed ah
I knew who was with me. In the year of nineteen hundred and forty
- two he died a martyr in Dachagon. In addition to the Holy Sacrifice,
we can enjoy the real presence of Jesus Christ, our Lord in the
Sacrifice during the twenty- four hours of the day. It is said that
the Holy Priest of Ars was particularly excited by the real presence of Christ Charistia
before the tabernacle. He used to spend long hours of prayer during the night
or before dawn during his humiliations. He used to point to the tabernacle saying
with demotion. He' s there. Therefore, he, who lived so
poorly on his governing face, did not hesitate to spend everything necessary to beautify
the Church. Soon he could see the good result. The faithful made it
their custom to go and pray before the Blessed Sacrament, discovering through the attitude
of their parish priest the great mystery of faith. May we also learn to
value and live I repeat, I hope that we too will learn to value
and live with immense faith and love like the saints, the mysteries of Holy
Sacrament of Eucharist, that each Holy Mass in Communion will be like the first
and last of our lives, that we often come to the Blessed Sacrament to
love, to thank our Lord and to ask Him for the needs of the
whole human race there, there he listens to us. Thank you, sir,
for your dearness, for your great ton of self. Thank you for
this great test of tudomor that I desire ardently or extends throughout the day.
I want to belong to you always come to your kingdom my heart that I
never get used to receiving you. He conceives that with the intercession of Saint
Mary he will know how to correspond to so much love. I finish today
' s meditation, this prayer, with the day of the corpus with hymns
to be beautiful of St Thomas, of aquinas who composed for this solemnity I
adore you with hidden devotion God. I hide briefly under these appearances, I
submit my heart completely to You and surrenders completely by watching You beset by You.
In judging of You, the touch, the taste, is wrong in
sight, but it is enough for the ear to firmly believe everything that the
Son of God has said. Nothing is more true than this word. Truly,
on the Cross I hid only divinity, but humanity is also hidden here.
However, I think I confess both things and ask for what the repentant
dolon asked for. I do not see the wounds, it is not like
Narius Thomas, but I confess that you are my god make me believe more
and more in You than I expect in You and that I love you a
memorial of the death of Lord Living Bread, that giving life to man grant
my soul to live from You and that I will always taste your sweetness.
Lord Jesus, Pelicary, good cleanse my unclean with your blood from which a
single drop can free the whole world from all crimes. Jesus, whom hour
I had hid, I beseech thee, that he hath fulfilled thee, that
they have done so much, that when thou sawest thy face, and sawest
it, thy glory was found happy. Amen happy Corpus Christin day. You
stop us from going to the procession that if there is him in your parish
or in your cathedral, accompany Sir with turation and your heart in love.
Today we can tell the Lord many times that spiritual community. I would like,
sir, to welcome you with the purity, humility and devotion with which
your most holy mother recited, with the spirit and fervor of the saints.
I give you the blessing that God cares accompany you be in your heart of
not making you strong and joyful and faithful that the son of God make you
his tran and mercy and take you out of your heart. Anything restless that
can make you suffer that the Holy Spirit gives you light in your intelligence,
by force, in your heart renewed spirit and determination to love with all your
heart, that Mary Most Holy do to you in You, her warmth as
a mother, her loving and tender embrace and St Joseph I take care of
you with her heart as a father, in the name of the father and
son and of the Holy Spirit Amen forgive for the interruptions that have occurred in
this recording, but it has been impossible for me. Thank you for your understanding.
