Prayer of the heart Tuesday of the seventeenth week of ordinary time. Come Holy
Spirit so that I may find wisdom in the midst of my limits, discomfort
and weariness, for the sun that sets is as beautiful when I am healthy
as when I am sick. Help me to appreciate the beauty of things beyond
my moods. Help me enjoy what you give me in the middle of my
troubles. Come Holy Spirit and teach me to live, because many times I
can only look at what worries me, what I lack, what I dislike,
as if nothing more than that were done. We celebrate Peter the Christologist,
Bishop of Rabera and Doctor of the Church. The Gospel is of St
Matteus chapter thirteen verses thirty- six to forty- three. At that time,
Jesus left the people and went home. The disciples approached me to tell
him they clarified the work of the tares of the field and he answered them.
He who sows the good seed is the son of man, the field
is the world. Good seeds are the citizens of heaven of the kingdom.
The tares are the parties of the evil one, the enemy that sows it
is the devil, the harvest is the end of time and the reapers of
the angels the same thing that rips off Adizaña and burns. That will be
the end of time. The son of man shall come to his angels,
and all the corrupt and wicked shall pluck up that kingdom, and cast them
into the burning furnace. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, for
the just will shine like the sun in his father' s kingdom. He
who has ears that Jesus hears addresses these words not only to his disciples,
but to all. Velaz It is a call to remember that life does not
have only the earthly dimension, but is projected to a beyond. Like a
plantine that germinates from the earth and tastes like heaven. The man endowed with
freedom and responsibility, will be called to account for how he has lived,
how he has used his own abilities, whether he has preserved them for himself
or made them public for the good of the brothers as well. On the
other hand. On the other hand, we check certain panoramas of the postmodern
world to cities where life becomes anonymous and horizontal, where God seems absent and
man considers himself the only master as if he were the architect and director of
all constructions, work, economy, transport, technical sciences. Everything looks like
a man' s peder. And sometimes in this world that seems almost perfect,
it happens in shocking things or in nature or in society, for which
we think that God would seem to be sorry to have withdrawn, that he
would have so to say, abandoned ourselves. In reality, the true owner
of the world is not man, but God. The supernatural realities of heaven
and hell have not been presented to frighten or discourage them from sin. Whoever
has ears to understand God wants to make it clear that every moment of life
is good for making our choice. We know that if we remain with the
risen Christ, victory is certain, but we must not forget that the enemy
works continually to prevent us from hugging the father again. Well, God is
merciful, but he is inviting us to rise, to return to the father
' s house, and to ask his forgiveness for our sins. Then we
will have to face the other provocations that the enemy will invent. But just
then we' ll have to remember and rivet our lesson. I mean,
always close to God. The struggle to stretch, for the weeds of the
enemy and to prevent further sowing in our hearts must be stubbornly constant. Cotidian.
It is an impossible undertaking for our own strength. Our victory is with
him the ruins and we are left alone, only far from him. Let
us not lose ourselves in daring asfictions about supernatural realities and let us go into
facing small and great challenges that each day carries with it what God proposes to
us. Let us learn to offer him with love everything that is good,
but also uncomfortable, happens to us in life and he will come to help
us carry our cross. He has promised and God knows how to be faithful.
This is the way for you, from within, starting with our heart,
to transform the world and bring it to God. The precondition for transforming
the world is love, because it is love that moves us to want the
good of the other without love for the family, the neighborhood, the city
to peace the world. No man will be able to work for the good
of all these realities. Only the one who loves is able to care and
work for the good of a loved one. That' s why loving the
world is the first requirement to be willing to transform it. According to God
' s plan, this does not mean falling in love with the world in
the sense of worldliness and following it to the current, but rather loving it
as God himself loved with a look of mercy, wanting the best for him
his good, his full realization and his happiness to love is necessary to know,
because he does not love what is not known. The need to know
the world in order to love and transform it is not limited to a mere
sociological diagnosis that would only lead us to an aseptic knowledge, cold closing.
This is a temptation to which on many occasions certain sections of the church have
yielded. However, we can never reduce people to a percentage. To know
the world means to deepen our gaze, to go beyond the surface of the
information that comes to us everywhere, to know the world and to recognize the
good that is in it and, at the same time, to know its
diseases and the challenges that the world presents to us today. We could say
that there are five attitudes necessary to act the transformation of the world from within,
the spiritual life. First of all, it is essential to cultivate one
' s spiritual life, because no one gives what is not necessary for transformation,
as the number nine, the third apostle, says. First you Second,
doctrinal aphrodation. At the same time as the life of the inner vindication,
it is necessary to feed the intellectual life, that is, to deepen
the Christian doctrine in order to love and teach it. Third, unity of
life, spiritual life and doctrinal formation will result in what Saint Joseph Mary called
unity of life, the coherence between what is believed and what is lived.
Fourth, influence society. Life’ s reality leads to credible witnesses of society.
A Christian who lives his faith in an authentic way and manifests and manifests
influence the areas in which he works and lives. And fifth evangelical style,
all Christians are Christophores, bearers of Christ. The style with which we act
in the world must therefore be a witness, an evangelical style. In other
words, those who live together or come in some way to meet us and
see being able to discover in our lives a likeness with Christ. Lord when
I feel the power of the sea in my heart, help me to remember
that this life is short and that all my effort is precious. Before your
eyes hold me by allowing me to always remember the happiness you are preparing for
me. I give you a blessing that the goodness and mercy of God,
Father, has in your heart, that the gaze of love of God,
Son, but enter into your soul and purify you from any uneasiness and lack
that can separate you from God, that the love of God, Holy Spirit,
grant you the peace that you need, that regulates it from Mary,
Mother of God and our mother caresses and protects you, and that the strength
and simplicity of St Joseph, we, Lord Thee, lead to heaven and
the blessing of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, come down upon
you and keep you at heart.
