1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:07,040 Prayer of the heart Tuesday of the seventeenth week of ordinary time. Come Holy 2 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:12,439 Spirit so that I may find wisdom in the midst of my limits, discomfort 3 00:00:12,439 --> 00:00:16,719 and weariness, for the sun that sets is as beautiful when I am healthy 4 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:21,399 as when I am sick. Help me to appreciate the beauty of things beyond 5 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:27,480 my moods. Help me enjoy what you give me in the middle of my 6 00:00:27,559 --> 00:00:35,320 troubles. Come Holy Spirit and teach me to live, because many times I 7 00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:39,280 can only look at what worries me, what I lack, what I dislike, 8 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,320 as if nothing more than that were done. We celebrate Peter the Christologist, 9 00:00:45,039 --> 00:00:49,280 Bishop of Rabera and Doctor of the Church. The Gospel is of St 10 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:54,240 Matteus chapter thirteen verses thirty- six to forty- three. At that time, 11 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,920 Jesus left the people and went home. The disciples approached me to tell 12 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,880 him they clarified the work of the tares of the field and he answered them. 13 00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:07,920 He who sows the good seed is the son of man, the field 14 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,879 is the world. Good seeds are the citizens of heaven of the kingdom. 15 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,799 The tares are the parties of the evil one, the enemy that sows it 16 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,159 is the devil, the harvest is the end of time and the reapers of 17 00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:25,799 the angels the same thing that rips off Adizaña and burns. That will be 18 00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:30,760 the end of time. The son of man shall come to his angels, 19 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,480 and all the corrupt and wicked shall pluck up that kingdom, and cast them 20 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,560 into the burning furnace. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, for 21 00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:44,000 the just will shine like the sun in his father' s kingdom. He 22 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,560 who has ears that Jesus hears addresses these words not only to his disciples, 23 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,599 but to all. Velaz It is a call to remember that life does not 24 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:59,400 have only the earthly dimension, but is projected to a beyond. Like a 25 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,879 plantine that germinates from the earth and tastes like heaven. The man endowed with 26 00:02:04,959 --> 00:02:08,759 freedom and responsibility, will be called to account for how he has lived, 27 00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:15,719 how he has used his own abilities, whether he has preserved them for himself 28 00:02:15,759 --> 00:02:20,479 or made them public for the good of the brothers as well. On the 29 00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:30,360 other hand. On the other hand, we check certain panoramas of the postmodern 30 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,120 world to cities where life becomes anonymous and horizontal, where God seems absent and 31 00:02:35,199 --> 00:02:39,080 man considers himself the only master as if he were the architect and director of 32 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:46,199 all constructions, work, economy, transport, technical sciences. Everything looks like 33 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,960 a man' s peder. And sometimes in this world that seems almost perfect, 34 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,879 it happens in shocking things or in nature or in society, for which 35 00:02:55,879 --> 00:03:01,960 we think that God would seem to be sorry to have withdrawn, that he 36 00:03:02,039 --> 00:03:07,360 would have so to say, abandoned ourselves. In reality, the true owner 37 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,719 of the world is not man, but God. The supernatural realities of heaven 38 00:03:12,719 --> 00:03:17,360 and hell have not been presented to frighten or discourage them from sin. Whoever 39 00:03:17,479 --> 00:03:23,240 has ears to understand God wants to make it clear that every moment of life 40 00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:31,840 is good for making our choice. We know that if we remain with the 41 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:37,800 risen Christ, victory is certain, but we must not forget that the enemy 42 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,639 works continually to prevent us from hugging the father again. Well, God is 43 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:46,719 merciful, but he is inviting us to rise, to return to the father 44 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,840 ' s house, and to ask his forgiveness for our sins. Then we 45 00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:53,879 will have to face the other provocations that the enemy will invent. But just 46 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,919 then we' ll have to remember and rivet our lesson. I mean, 47 00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:04,680 always close to God. The struggle to stretch, for the weeds of the 48 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:12,400 enemy and to prevent further sowing in our hearts must be stubbornly constant. Cotidian. 49 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,319 It is an impossible undertaking for our own strength. Our victory is with 50 00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:20,600 him the ruins and we are left alone, only far from him. Let 51 00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:28,360 us not lose ourselves in daring asfictions about supernatural realities and let us go into 52 00:04:28,439 --> 00:04:31,199 facing small and great challenges that each day carries with it what God proposes to 53 00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:35,240 us. Let us learn to offer him with love everything that is good, 54 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:41,000 but also uncomfortable, happens to us in life and he will come to help 55 00:04:41,079 --> 00:04:46,279 us carry our cross. He has promised and God knows how to be faithful. 56 00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:49,879 This is the way for you, from within, starting with our heart, 57 00:04:50,399 --> 00:04:57,079 to transform the world and bring it to God. The precondition for transforming 58 00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:00,879 the world is love, because it is love that moves us to want the 59 00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:04,480 good of the other without love for the family, the neighborhood, the city 60 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:10,240 to peace the world. No man will be able to work for the good 61 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,639 of all these realities. Only the one who loves is able to care and 62 00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:18,160 work for the good of a loved one. That' s why loving the 63 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:24,040 world is the first requirement to be willing to transform it. According to God 64 00:05:24,079 --> 00:05:29,399 ' s plan, this does not mean falling in love with the world in 65 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,360 the sense of worldliness and following it to the current, but rather loving it 66 00:05:33,519 --> 00:05:39,839 as God himself loved with a look of mercy, wanting the best for him 67 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:45,439 his good, his full realization and his happiness to love is necessary to know, 68 00:05:45,639 --> 00:05:47,240 because he does not love what is not known. The need to know 69 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:55,800 the world in order to love and transform it is not limited to a mere 70 00:05:56,399 --> 00:06:00,000 sociological diagnosis that would only lead us to an aseptic knowledge, cold closing. 71 00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:04,759 This is a temptation to which on many occasions certain sections of the church have 72 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:11,920 yielded. However, we can never reduce people to a percentage. To know 73 00:06:11,959 --> 00:06:16,720 the world means to deepen our gaze, to go beyond the surface of the 74 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,519 information that comes to us everywhere, to know the world and to recognize the 75 00:06:21,519 --> 00:06:29,759 good that is in it and, at the same time, to know its 76 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,079 diseases and the challenges that the world presents to us today. We could say 77 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:42,720 that there are five attitudes necessary to act the transformation of the world from within, 78 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,959 the spiritual life. First of all, it is essential to cultivate one 79 00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:53,319 ' s spiritual life, because no one gives what is not necessary for transformation, 80 00:06:54,399 --> 00:06:59,480 as the number nine, the third apostle, says. First you Second, 81 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,480 doctrinal aphrodation. At the same time as the life of the inner vindication, 82 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:08,600 it is necessary to feed the intellectual life, that is, to deepen 83 00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:13,480 the Christian doctrine in order to love and teach it. Third, unity of 84 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:18,879 life, spiritual life and doctrinal formation will result in what Saint Joseph Mary called 85 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:24,079 unity of life, the coherence between what is believed and what is lived. 86 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,319 Fourth, influence society. Life’ s reality leads to credible witnesses of society. 87 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:41,839 A Christian who lives his faith in an authentic way and manifests and manifests 88 00:07:41,839 --> 00:07:46,319 influence the areas in which he works and lives. And fifth evangelical style, 89 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:51,600 all Christians are Christophores, bearers of Christ. The style with which we act 90 00:07:51,639 --> 00:07:57,240 in the world must therefore be a witness, an evangelical style. In other 91 00:07:57,279 --> 00:08:03,160 words, those who live together or come in some way to meet us and 92 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:09,480 see being able to discover in our lives a likeness with Christ. Lord when 93 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,480 I feel the power of the sea in my heart, help me to remember 94 00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:18,319 that this life is short and that all my effort is precious. Before your 95 00:08:18,439 --> 00:08:24,759 eyes hold me by allowing me to always remember the happiness you are preparing for 96 00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:28,079 me. I give you a blessing that the goodness and mercy of God, 97 00:08:28,399 --> 00:08:33,080 Father, has in your heart, that the gaze of love of God, 98 00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:35,559 Son, but enter into your soul and purify you from any uneasiness and lack 99 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,159 that can separate you from God, that the love of God, Holy Spirit, 100 00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:43,639 grant you the peace that you need, that regulates it from Mary, 101 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,320 Mother of God and our mother caresses and protects you, and that the strength 102 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,759 and simplicity of St Joseph, we, Lord Thee, lead to heaven and 103 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:58,080 the blessing of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, come down upon 104 00:08:58,399 --> 00:09:01,360 you and keep you at heart.
