Prayer of the heart Tuesday of the fifteenth weeks of ordinary time. Come Holy
Spirit. Today I want to give myself to my future, give you my
future until the last day of my life. I want to walk enlightened by
your divine light to know where I am going, so as not to wear
out energies in things that are not worth it. I don' t want
to be obsessed with the future and that' s why I prefer to give
it in your presence and let myself be carried away by your impulse Holy Spirit
heals my anxiety so that I accept that everything comes to its time and in
its time. Today we celebrate with great joy our Lady of Carmen. The
Gospel is from St Matthew, chapter twelve verses forty- six to fifty.
At that time Jesus was speaking to the people. When his mother and brothers
showed up outside trying to talk to him, one warned him. Hey,
your mother and your brothers are out and they want to talk to you,
but he answered that I was warning her and who my mother is and who
my brothers are, and pointing his hand at the disciples, said these are
my mother and my brothers, that they do the will of the father of
heaven. That' s my brother and my sister and my mother. Mary
' s virginity, by grace and sign of God, was always intact and
St Joseph and St Joseph was always with the words of the Gospel, a
righteous and Holy Man, the chaste husband of Mary. The most important thing
is to understand that Jesus’ words were not without any disappointment to his mother.
The most holy virgin. At first glance it may seem like a rejection
or a contempt for Mary, but it should be noted that it is one
of the most beautiful compliments and yets that are made to the Virgin our mother.
The Lord tells them that what the one who seeks him outside the compound
is not only the one who has begotten him, but the magim who has
stood out for fulfilling God' s will. It' s like realizing that
you don' t have to reduce your mother as a simple biological fact,
but she' s the larger being than creation, the woman who thanked God
best by reflecting her unconditional thart agase. In this way, anyone who claims
to be a mother, brother or sister of Jesus must be the first by
him faithful fulfillment of his father’ s will that the heavens are. Christ
wants us to be true brothers or mothers, but distinguishing us mainly by our
docility to the father. We all wish to have the Lord' s pleasure
that he looks at us and tells us that he knows us why we fulfill
the Father' s will, where we find his will in our daily duty,
according to our condition of life, in the commandments, to do good
in transmitting to others, in living in the face of God. Before she
conceived God in her womb, Mary conceived her in faith. She conceived him
in faith. The holy fathers say that Christ praises his most holy mother in
this passage. But to raise it even more, especially the merely human kinship
to spiritual motherhood. We are all called to be close to Jesus relatives,
but above all brothers, because they are because with baptism we have been received
in divine action and has rescued us with his death to make them brothers of
Mary of brothers. Mary is a very important person in the mission of Christ
and in her we are called to be key pieces for the continuation of Christ
' s mission in the world. For this reason we cannot be strangers or
go down to the Lord For we will not feel challenged with the task,
for example, of going to proclaim the Gospel to all rations. We must
know to call Christ as a brother, sister or mother. Only from love
do divine human bonds strengthen Jesus the Lord I want you to manifest yourself in
Christ so that we might recognize ourselves as brothers, your children. Grant me
the grace to understand that the best way to behave them as members of this
Holy family is to fulfill your will. Enlighten my mind to discover what you
want from me and to see the way I must go to find you.
Look at my weakness, my grudges, we discourage, errors and sins and
blot them out with the fire of your love, that they may be a
worthy member of your church, so that I may not know a brief explanation
of what knight the carmencury in the year two thousand two hundred forty- six,
when they appointed Saint Simon Stock General of the Order of the Carmelites.
He understood that, without an intervention of the Virgin to the order that it
gave little time. Simon appealed to Mary by placing the order under her protection,
since they all belonged to him in his prayer. He called him the
flower of the Carmel and the star of the sea and begged for protection for
the whole Community. In response to this fervent prayer, the 16th of July,
one hundred and fifty and one appeared to Saint Simonesto the Virgin of Carmen
and gave him the scapular for the order in the following way this must be
a sign and privilege for you and for the whole order of the Carmelites.
Whoever dies using this maccapulary will not suffer eternal fire. Although as a scapular
it was given to the Carmelites, many lay people in time felt the call
to live a more committed life in Carmelite spirituality. Thus began the use And
so began the bacuframía of the scapular, where many lay people were added through
devotion to the Virgin. And so and to the use of the scapular,
the Church has extended this scapular to much, to all lay people. Many
parents, other saints such as Sarafoso Maria Gregorio, San Juan Bosco, San
Claudio de la Colombier, San Pedro Poveda, San José María, etc,
had a special devotion to the Virgen del Carmen and they filled carried the scapular.
Catholic Saints and theologians have explained that, according to this promise, whoever
has the devotion of scapular and uses it as a city of Mary, the
contrition of repentance, on the other hand, of Mary' s forgiveness at
the time of death, the grace of perseverance in the state of grace without
mortal sin or the grace of conception, repentance, on the other hand,
on the part of the devotee, the scapular is a sign of his verification
of the life of the Christian Church, according to the prefect example of the
Blessed Virgin. What a beautiful sector to the Virgin of Carmen says yes,
of Saint Simon stock or very beautiful flower of the Carmel, fruitful, vine
glow of heaven, singular mother of the son of God, always pure virgin,
most holy mother, after having seen us brought to the son of God,
but born, intact, without stains, without any or blessed, Virgin
ever virgin. Assist me in this need, O star of the sea help
and protect me, O Mary without sin, conceived, pray for us who
resort to you, mother and ornament of the Carmel. Pray for us,
Virgin Flower of Carmel, Pray for us, patron saint of those who saw
the Holy Scapular. Pray for us, Saint Joseph, faithful friend of the
Sacred Heart. Pray for us, Saint Joseph, Mary' s most chaste
husband. Pray for us, Saint Joseph, our great protector. Pray for
us, God, sweet heart of Mary, be our salvation. Amen I
gave thee the blessing, that the Lord be in thy heart, that thou
mayest know evil with all things, he shall rise up in thy lips,
that thou mayest call with force rest, that he may be in thine arms,
that he may work without rest for his sake, and that he may
put his kingdom on thy feet, that thou mayest walk in the paths of
peace, which the Lord shall show thee to be in thy clean gaze,
that thy eyes may see Jesus in others, that he may be in thy
joy, that thou mayest never lose it, though thou mayest have reason,
and mayest give it to others in the name of father and son, and
of the Holy Spirit Amen.
