1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:07,200 Heart Prayer Sunday of the ninth week of Corpus Christi' s Ordinary Time. 2 00:00:08,919 --> 00:00:13,599 Help me holy spirit so that I can look at others with your patient eyes. 3 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,960 I want to recognize your love for all human beings, also for those 4 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,960 people I can no longer love with patience and compassion. They are all important 5 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:30,039 to the loving heart of Jesus. They are all sacred and valuable. No 6 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,119 one has been born by chance, but it is an eternal project of your 7 00:00:34,119 --> 00:00:39,079 love. Free me from condemning and prejudging others. I wanted to go and 8 00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:42,679 imagine their suffering, their anguish, those weaknesses that you cook for them to 9 00:00:42,679 --> 00:00:50,920 operate. Help me always find some excuse to excuse them and not look at 10 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,560 them with bad eyes. Drain in me all the patience I need see holy 11 00:00:55,679 --> 00:01:00,840 spirit. Today we celebrate the Corpus Christie, the Gospel of Saint Mark, 12 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,560 Chapter fourteen verses twelve from now on. On the first day of the 12th 13 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,200 century, when the Paschal picture was sacrificed, they told Jesus, the disciples 14 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,359 where you want us to go and prepare for you the Passover supper. He 15 00:01:14,439 --> 00:01:19,760 sent two disciples telling them to go to the city and you will find a 16 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,000 man carrying a pitcher of water, follow him and the house into which you 17 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,799 tell the owner. The teacher asks where is the room in which I am 18 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,799 going to eat the Passover as disciples or a large room will be taught on 19 00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:37,680 the top floor, arranged with libanans, prepared there wax the disciples, left, 20 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,480 arrived in the city, found what had been said and prepared the Passover 21 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,280 supper. While they were eating, Jesus took the bread, pronounced the blessing, 22 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:52,560 broke it and gave it to them, saying Thomas this is my body 23 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,920 taking a cup, pronounced the thanksgiving, gave it to them, and everyone 24 00:01:55,959 --> 00:02:00,959 saw him and told them this is my blood, blood of the covenant, 25 00:02:00,239 --> 00:02:02,400 shed for you all. I' m sure he won' t see the 26 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:08,680 fruit again. I' m still sorry. While they were eating, Jesus 27 00:02:08,719 --> 00:02:13,199 took a bread, pronounced the blessing, broke it, gave it to them 28 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,439 by saying," Take this my body by taking a cup, uttered the 29 00:02:15,479 --> 00:02:20,919 thanksgiving, gave it to them, and they all drank and told them this 30 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,000 is my blood, blood of the covenant, shed for all of you? 31 00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:25,159 " I am sure that I will not drink the fruit of the vine again 32 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:30,520 until the day the new wine returns in the Kingdom of God, after singing 33 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,199 the psalm to us, they went out to the Mount of Olives. Saint 34 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,280 Paul says in one of the texts preserved from the Institution of the Eucharist. 35 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,560 Brothers. I have received a tradition that comes from the Lord and that in 36 00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:46,000 my turn I have transmitted to you that the Lord Jesus, from the night 37 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,039 that they were to deliver him, took bread and pronounced the thanksgiving, broke 38 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,319 it and said this is my body that is given for you. It makes 39 00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:58,840 this memory of me. He did the same with the chalice after dinner, 40 00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:02,520 saying this chalice of the new alliance sealed with my blood. Do this every 41 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:09,000 time you bear in remembrance of me. These words are becoming more and more 42 00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:14,080 impressive, which the priest says clearly and slowly every day at Mass and which 43 00:03:14,719 --> 00:03:19,719 are of divine effectiveness. Indeed, from these words spoken by the ordained priest, 44 00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:23,960 bread and wine are transformed into the body and blood of the Lord It 45 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:30,000 is no longer pal or wine without its substance, but its substance is the 46 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:35,879 body and blood of Christ. Even if what we see on the outside is 47 00:03:35,919 --> 00:03:39,000 the same as before. This is our faith today in many places in the 48 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,240 world. Maybe he did it last Thursday, that I didn' t do 49 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,919 it fish Play Thursday celebrates this beautiful solemnity of Corpus Christi. For us Christians 50 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,960 it is a special day, as it is on a Holy Thursday, on 51 00:03:52,039 --> 00:03:55,439 which we solemnly and with great joy celebrate this gift that God has granted us 52 00:03:55,919 --> 00:04:00,240 with the possibility of being able to feed us from his body and blood that 53 00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:04,080 give us glarty and that anticipate us heaven. Why does God do things like 54 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,800 that I don' t know. They are God' s ways different from 55 00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:14,080 ours. The best explanation that I have read at the spiritual level is that 56 00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:18,959 made by St Joseph Mary in new families, saying thus to consider the human 57 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:24,959 experience of the farewell of two people who want to always wish to be together, 58 00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:29,759 but the duty that it is obliges them to leave their eagerness would be 59 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,480 to continue without being separated and they cannot the love of the man who, 60 00:04:32,959 --> 00:04:35,439 however great, is limited, resorts to a symbol. Those that are issued 61 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:41,480 are changed a memory, perhaps a photograph with an additive so lit that it 62 00:04:41,519 --> 00:04:44,000 is surprising that it does not keep the cardboard. They can' t do 63 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,639 more, because the power of creatures doesn' t go as far as their 64 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,279 wanting what we can' t can. Lord Jesus Christ, perfect, God, 65 00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:57,120 imperfect man, does not leave a symbol, but reality. The same 66 00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:00,959 anger remains with the father, but he will continue to grow with men. 67 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,720 He will not bequeath us a simple gift that makes us evoke his memory, 68 00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:10,360 an image that tends to be disfigured, drawn over time, like the photograph 69 00:05:10,399 --> 00:05:15,560 that soon appears, faded and yellowish and meaningless for those who were not protagonists 70 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,639 of that loving moment. Under the species of bread and wine, he is 71 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:24,519 really present or his body, his blood, his soul and his divinity. 72 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,879 I think it' s all well explained there. There is no need to 73 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,959 reason more in the modesty that we can reason before this gift because it is 74 00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:40,439 a mystery. Long ago I explained to one of my nieces whom I married 75 00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:45,480 celebrating the sobriety of Corpus, that when the soul receives God sacramentalized, it 76 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,839 is like flooded by the sun that fills it with light, of color of 77 00:05:48,879 --> 00:05:54,920 joy and described it with the poor human words with which we men can do 78 00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:00,399 it. It is like those stunning sunsets that we see in Galicia, where 79 00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:04,000 he lived many years in which it seems that the sun grows he heard everything 80 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,959 burning with red and gold dyes, and so in the soul everything is filled 81 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:15,600 with that beauty of God that God gives us with his sacramental presence. Blessed 82 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,079 Titus brands Brand, greeting from Dutch carmita, spent several years in the German 83 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:25,879 concentration camps. During the Nazi persecution. He had forbidden the closing of the 84 00:06:25,879 --> 00:06:30,519 Eucharist, but he stood with us prisoners and recited in memory the prayers of 85 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,399 the Mass the Gospel and preached to his fellow prisoners. Then they made the 86 00:06:35,399 --> 00:06:39,800 spiritual community. He fixed his eyes on each of the prisoners and told him 87 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:46,720 the body of our Lord Jesus Christ keep your soul for eternal life. Soon 88 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,839 he was transferred to Dachau' s laguer. There the German priests could celebrate 89 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:57,720 and clandestinely passed the Holy Host to the other priests who were not German. 90 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,560 As a titus, he communed, gave communion to other fellow prisoners and kept 91 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:10,240 a little bit in the case of his glasses for the night worship of that 92 00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:15,839 bread at all special, drew strength to endure the tortures and offer his sufferings. 93 00:07:16,199 --> 00:07:21,839 One day he was severely beaten by the guard I was born from the 94 00:07:21,839 --> 00:07:27,920 camp and stood to be beaten without hatred and curses. Then he confessed ah 95 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,639 I knew who was with me. In the year of nineteen hundred and forty 96 00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:35,720 - two he died a martyr in Dachagon. In addition to the Holy Sacrifice, 97 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,639 we can enjoy the real presence of Jesus Christ, our Lord in the 98 00:07:40,639 --> 00:07:43,199 Sacrifice during the twenty- four hours of the day. It is said that 99 00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:49,040 the Holy Priest of Ars was particularly excited by the real presence of Christ Charistia 100 00:07:49,079 --> 00:07:54,240 before the tabernacle. He used to spend long hours of prayer during the night 101 00:07:54,279 --> 00:07:59,839 or before dawn during his humiliations. He used to point to the tabernacle saying 102 00:07:59,839 --> 00:08:01,680 with demotion. He' s there. Therefore, he, who lived so 103 00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:07,000 poorly on his governing face, did not hesitate to spend everything necessary to beautify 104 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:13,120 the Church. Soon he could see the good result. The faithful made it 105 00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:18,439 their custom to go and pray before the Blessed Sacrament, discovering through the attitude 106 00:08:18,439 --> 00:08:22,120 of their parish priest the great mystery of faith. May we also learn to 107 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:30,040 value and live I repeat, I hope that we too will learn to value 108 00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:33,600 and live with immense faith and love like the saints, the mysteries of Holy 109 00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:39,120 Sacrament of Eucharist, that each Holy Mass in Communion will be like the first 110 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,600 and last of our lives, that we often come to the Blessed Sacrament to 111 00:08:43,759 --> 00:08:48,320 love, to thank our Lord and to ask Him for the needs of the 112 00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:54,120 whole human race there, there he listens to us. Thank you, sir, 113 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,559 for your dearness, for your great ton of self. Thank you for 114 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,080 this great test of tudomor that I desire ardently or extends throughout the day. 115 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:07,559 I want to belong to you always come to your kingdom my heart that I 116 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,840 never get used to receiving you. He conceives that with the intercession of Saint 117 00:09:09,879 --> 00:09:15,000 Mary he will know how to correspond to so much love. I finish today 118 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,519 ' s meditation, this prayer, with the day of the corpus with hymns 119 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:24,919 to be beautiful of St Thomas, of aquinas who composed for this solemnity I 120 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:30,200 adore you with hidden devotion God. I hide briefly under these appearances, I 121 00:09:30,279 --> 00:09:35,720 submit my heart completely to You and surrenders completely by watching You beset by You. 122 00:09:37,639 --> 00:09:41,399 In judging of You, the touch, the taste, is wrong in 123 00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:45,240 sight, but it is enough for the ear to firmly believe everything that the 124 00:09:45,279 --> 00:09:48,320 Son of God has said. Nothing is more true than this word. Truly, 125 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,799 on the Cross I hid only divinity, but humanity is also hidden here. 126 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,440 However, I think I confess both things and ask for what the repentant 127 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,919 dolon asked for. I do not see the wounds, it is not like 128 00:10:01,039 --> 00:10:03,200 Narius Thomas, but I confess that you are my god make me believe more 129 00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:07,000 and more in You than I expect in You and that I love you a 130 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,240 memorial of the death of Lord Living Bread, that giving life to man grant 131 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,279 my soul to live from You and that I will always taste your sweetness. 132 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,279 Lord Jesus, Pelicary, good cleanse my unclean with your blood from which a 133 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:24,679 single drop can free the whole world from all crimes. Jesus, whom hour 134 00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:28,080 I had hid, I beseech thee, that he hath fulfilled thee, that 135 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,240 they have done so much, that when thou sawest thy face, and sawest 136 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,840 it, thy glory was found happy. Amen happy Corpus Christin day. You 137 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,360 stop us from going to the procession that if there is him in your parish 138 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,080 or in your cathedral, accompany Sir with turation and your heart in love. 139 00:10:41,799 --> 00:10:46,600 Today we can tell the Lord many times that spiritual community.
