1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:06,280
Prayer of heart Saturday of the second
week of Easter. Oh, Holy Spirit,

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,359
love of father and son, always
inspire me what I must think,

3
00:00:10,919 --> 00:00:14,240
what I must say, as I
must say, what I must silence,

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,320
how I must act, what I
must do for the glory of God and

5
00:00:18,359 --> 00:00:27,440
good of souls and my own sanctification. Holy Spirit Give me, keenness to

6
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:32,520
understand, ability to retain, method
and faculty to learn, subtlety to interpret,

7
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:39,520
grace and effectiveness to speak. Make
me right at the start, make

8
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,119
the most of it and perfect it
when it' s over. Aman today

9
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:47,280
we celebrate St Herme by choosing a
martyr to the Gospel of St John.

10
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:54,079
Chapter six, verse sixteen to twenty- one. As the disciples of John

11
00:00:54,159 --> 00:01:00,520
of Jesus were darkened they went down
to the sea and began the journey to

12
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:06,480
Caparraun was already closed at night and
Jesus had not yet reached them. The

13
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:11,280
wind was so lucky and the lake
had become sour. They had rowed about

14
00:01:11,359 --> 00:01:15,959
twenty- five or thirty furlongs when
they saw Jesus approaching the boat walking on

15
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,280
the sea and were frightened, but
he said to him I am not afraid.

16
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:23,799
They wanted to pick him up on
board, but the boat immediately landed

17
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:32,000
at the place where duc in altum
went inland. Let' s walk with

18
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,040
hope. A new millennium opens before
the Church as an immense ocean in which

19
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:44,640
one must venture with the help of
Christ. In this very hopeful context,

20
00:01:45,239 --> 00:01:51,079
he began with this very hopeful context
and made the conclusion of the Apostolic Letter

21
00:01:51,519 --> 00:01:59,519
Nobo millenium and neunte that Pope John
Paul II served at the beginning of the

22
00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:07,439
twenty- first century and what a
similarity to today' s Gospel. The

23
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,919
apostles also ventured to sail in the
Sea of Capernaum without having the slightest idea

24
00:02:13,039 --> 00:02:16,479
of the surprise that Christ was waiting
for them, a surprise that would help

25
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:22,520
them to grow in their faith in
the son of Dark God. The sea

26
00:02:22,719 --> 00:02:27,759
was frizzy and, in addition,
the harsh wind was blowing. Who doesn

27
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,360
' t get scared in front of
a station like that. Obviously, the

28
00:02:32,439 --> 00:02:37,680
apostles were fishermen and, as such, knew how to act. But to

29
00:02:37,719 --> 00:02:42,039
see someone walking on the waters,
who is used to seeing such. What

30
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:47,400
an act Today we would only see
it in Hollywood movies and with well-

31
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,400
founded reasons. We could tell Christ, but, Mr Look, how the

32
00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:57,560
sea is in the dark and you
present yourself to them this way, don

33
00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:10,199
' t scare them like that.
But Christ, Christ mm but Christ told

34
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,080
you he wanted to teach us to
look for him in the midst of trials.

35
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,960
Even though the evil of our lives
is dark and the crespado, we

36
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,360
must not be afraid, because it
is between him, it is among us

37
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,759
Christians, we also venture into this
immense sea. Our boat is also covered

38
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,400
and the darkness frightens us. But
in spite of the storm, there is

39
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,759
no need to fear, because we
have Christ, as captain of the ship,

40
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:38,919
Let us trust in him in the
hope that we will come to earth.

41
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:43,680
You smile saved. Let' s
just let ourselves be guided. Let

42
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,680
us not be afraid of what he
may ask us to do, in fact,

43
00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:50,400
if he asks us to do so, it is to be the one

44
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,280
who gives us the strength to do
so. Let us not be afraid of

45
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,879
a generous surrender of all our hearts, with all our souls. Don'

46
00:03:54,919 --> 00:03:58,639
t be afraid of the truth,
even if the truth complicates you. Do

47
00:03:58,759 --> 00:04:03,319
not be afraid of the manifest faith
by what you speak, by how you

48
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:06,960
defend what you believe, that you
are sure that any of these situations,

49
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:12,240
he who asks you more, will
not leave you, simply because you are

50
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:15,839
a child. I wonder, I' m giving everything I can give or

51
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,600
could give more. I look at
Jesus, I look at his face that

52
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:24,040
looks at me, restless his silent
voice with that silence that disturbs me.

53
00:04:24,439 --> 00:04:26,240
I look at him and I'
m afraid I' ll be empty.

54
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,759
I' m afraid I' ll
forget your step, your presence, your

55
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:33,160
voice. He' s coming to
stay with me and I don' t

56
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,360
take him seriously. I' m
still long or I feel like I'

57
00:04:36,399 --> 00:04:39,759
m an older son who judges everything
again. One person prayed like that.

58
00:04:40,879 --> 00:04:45,000
You know that I have not been
as generous as in my dedication, that

59
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,680
I have also sought to admire and
envy St Augustine, St Francis, St

60
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,959
Mary Magdalene or St Paul, not
only for knowing how to be so loved

61
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,959
and for his great holiness, but
because once rescued, they never looked back.

62
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,120
They always ran forward one life,
before another later, but I,

63
00:05:02,399 --> 00:05:05,959
once saved, come back over and
over again about the same thing. That

64
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:11,000
' s why I always worry about
the sinner. I have discovered a new

65
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,759
sin. I' ve felt like
the older brother, besides feeling bad.

66
00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:19,879
That' s why I wanted to
thank you, Jesus, because you'

67
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,240
ve made me grow by seeing me
planted there has saved me again. I

68
00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:26,120
know who I' ll forget,
but he' ll fall back, but

69
00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:30,120
at least now I thank you.
I would like to have that honesty to

70
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,160
look at in this way in my
life is the temptation to feel like that

71
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:39,360
older brother than Judah, who is
never happy, who always expects more recognition,

72
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,519
more awards, more praises, as
if life consisted of endless applause,

73
00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:49,199
a cascade of congratulations. I'
m afraid to look for myself every day

74
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:54,959
to feel that someone owes me something
and that many of the things that happen

75
00:05:54,959 --> 00:06:00,000
to me are not fair to say, Father Francis, how I can embrace

76
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:00,319
Christ if I think only of myself. I cannot enjoy the beauty of the

77
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,040
Church, if my only concern is
to save myself, protect myself and escape

78
00:06:05,079 --> 00:06:10,720
from every circumstance. How can I
get excited about the adventure of building God

79
00:06:10,879 --> 00:06:15,639
’ s Kingdom if every enthusiasm is
slowed down by the fear of losing something

80
00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:20,199
of mine, fear of losing,
fear of not receiving the desire to always

81
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:25,120
get out well standing, the anointing
of never suffering any harm. Jesus suffers

82
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:30,319
defenselessness, loneliness, forgetfulness, abandonment, carelessness and I want to be cared

83
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,120
for, remembered, saved and feel, as he is an older brother,

84
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:40,079
so forgotten that I am not taken
seriously. I think then that Jesus is

85
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,600
not born for me, is born
for others, for those who succeed and

86
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:48,959
stand out, for those who put
themselves in life and I need conversion again

87
00:06:49,079 --> 00:06:53,040
to not think so much about me, about my security. God comes to

88
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:57,439
take me out of my comfort,
out of my world to make me food

89
00:06:57,439 --> 00:07:00,319
for others, home. For many, that mighty God has become poor and

90
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,120
powerless, as I have put himself
in my place, in my shoes.

91
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,959
You' ve felt my fears,
you' ve made up my voids,

92
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,439
loved in my life, caressed my
desires. Jesus empathizes me for others.

93
00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:16,839
Only he makes me capable of an
impossible love that gives life for others,

94
00:07:17,079 --> 00:07:23,920
without fear, without seeking. So
I want to live with that impossible generosity,

95
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:29,720
without fear of loss, without suffering
from emptiness. I give you the

96
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:33,120
blessing that God, Father, will
accompany you in your heart, take care

97
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,399
of you, make you strong,
joyful and faithful, that God, son,

98
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,759
will make you feel his tenderness and
mercy and take you out of your

99
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:43,920
heart. Any concern you may make
you suffer that God, Holy Spirit You,

100
00:07:43,959 --> 00:07:47,800
deduce intelligence, strength in the heart
renewed spirit and decision of love.

101
00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:51,759
With all of him, may Mary
Most Holy make you feel a warmth of

102
00:07:51,839 --> 00:07:56,319
mother and her embrace morose and buried
and St Joseph take care of you with

103
00:07:56,759 --> 00:07:59,439
his father' s heart in the
name of father, son and Holy Spirit amen
