Heart Prayer Wednesday, Holy Saint Ropetor Warsh Rupert Are you, Lord who has
suffered death for me to live? How can I rejoice in my freedom if
I owe it to your bonds? Is it You, Lord who has suffered
death for me to live? How can I rejoice in my salvation if you
have acquired it for your suffering? Is it you, sir, who has
suffered death for me to live? Lord, have you suffered because you have
loved for love and mercy? Is it you, sir, who has suffered
death for me to live? The Gospel of St Matthew, chapter twenty-
six verses fourteen to twenty- five h at that time, one of the
twelve so- called iscaryotic judas to the high priests and not being asked what
you are willing to give me if I deliver it. They far adjusted with
him thirty coins and ever since he was looking for occasion or propitious to deliver
it. On the first day of the 12th century the oriciples drew near.
Jesus was asked where you want us to prepare the Passover supper for you.
He answered go to the city to Fulano' s house and tell him the
Master says my time is near. I wish to celebrate the Passover in your
home with my rubypal disciples who fulfilled Jesus' institutions and prepared the Passover.
At dusk he set the table with the twelve while they were eating. He
said," I assure you, one of you will deliver me" They
' re dismayed. They began to ask one after another, it is I,
Lord he answered who has wet in the same fountain as me. That
one is going to give me the son of man is leaving as it is
written of him, but there is of him who is going to give the
son of man more than it would be worth not having been born. Then
Judas asked who was going to deliver him,“ I am perhaps a teacher,
” and you replied,“ Lord Jesus, thank you for being here
by my side,“ Thank you for life, for the gifts and also
for the difficulties that arise day after day in my way” Sorry, for
all the times I' ve failed you, for all the times I'
ve traded you for thirty coins, those coins better called whims. Thank you
for your love, thank you for your patience. Lord Jesus, help me
to love you more than my tastes and whims. I opened the eyes of
the soul to realize the recimeros that are the goods of the earth compared to
those that you promise me in heaven Jesus, that I will not replace you
in my life with such fleeting goods. It is the dramatic act that marks
the beginning of the Lord' s passion a painful path that I told him
with absolute freedom. He says so clearly himself. I give my life,
No one takes it from me or I give it to myself I have the
power to give it and the power to recover it. And as well as
the path of humiliation of dispossession. With that betrayal, it' s like
Jesus is on the market. This costs thirty miners and Jesus walks this path
of humiliation and dispossession. To the end, Jesus attains complete humiliation with death
on the cross. This is the worst of deaths, that of slaves and
criminals. Jesus has considered himself a prophet, but he dies as a criminal.
Looking at Jesus in his passion, we see as a mirror also the
suffering of all mankind and find the divine answer to the mystery of evil,
pain and death. This week will do us all a lot of good.
To look at the crucifix, kiss the wound of Jesus, kiss them and
of Crucifix was taken upon itself human suffering. All that suffering has been endorsed.
What happened in the life of Jesus of Judas forgiveness. It helps me
re- session about my love for you. Lord I am aware of the
great love that God has for me. I realize so many signs of affection
for your part of life, the gift of faith, my ability to love,
my family, my home. I was happy with food, the dress,
the wonder of nature, even the trials and difficulties it offers me to
wear them out of love. His surrender on the cross, the fall of
Judah, is the result of a life in which little by little the love
of the master cooled. Let us examine ourselves sincerely and confidently before Jesus and
ask him for the courage and strength to keep our heart upon him. Today
I will deprive myself of some taste and make a small sacrifice in reparation for
my sins. Lord Jesus, thank you for loving me and forgiving me how
close I am to You with a contrite heart. Grant me to live on
this day as a true child of yours, conscious of your love and also
aware of that great responsibility that it is to be your child allow greed,
pride or sensuality And apart from you, I want to be like John,
a faithful disciple who accompanies you in increases, joyous and, above all,
difficult times. Today your Church passes, Lord has my shoulders to recharge a
little the weight of this great cross. I don' t want to push
you again. I don' t want to leave you alone again. I
repeat, I do not want, sir, to leave you alone again.
Never again. I give the blessing, God, merciful father, who left
us the witness of his love in the passion of his son, only begotten
you Eleven gives the admirable gift of his blessing for the service of God and
men. And since you believe that by the temporary death of his son,
you were delivered in both eternal from the reward of future life and following his
examples of humility, you beneficiate in his assure and the blessing of God.
Almighty father, son, and holy spirit Let them come down upon you,
and let them always pray Amen.
