1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:07,280
Prayer of the heart Tuesday of the
tenths, this week of ordinary time.

2
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:14,279
Oh, Holy Spirit, love of
father and son, always inspire me what

3
00:00:14,279 --> 00:00:19,160
I must think, what I must
say, how I must say, what

4
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:24,480
I must silence, how I must
act, what I must do for the

5
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:30,320
Glory of God, sell souls and
my own sanctification. Holy Spirit Give me,

6
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:36,840
Audacity to understand, ability, to
retain, method and faculty to learn,

7
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:42,320
subtlety to interpret, grace and effectiveness
to speak. Give me, right

8
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:47,960
at the start, direction, progressing
and perfection at the end. Today we

9
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,200
celebrate Saint Bridget of Sweden religious,
the Gospel is Saint John, chapter fifteen

10
00:00:54,280 --> 00:01:00,240
verses one through eight. At that
time Jesus said to his disciples. I

11
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:06,359
am the true vine, and my
father, the husbandman, to every branch

12
00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:08,760
of mine that does not bear fruit, plucks it up, and to every

13
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,000
one that bears fruit, that he
may bear more fruit. You are already

14
00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:17,519
cleansed by the words I have spoken
to you. You remain in me and

15
00:01:17,519 --> 00:01:21,680
I in you. As the samento
cannot bear fruit on its own unless it

16
00:01:21,719 --> 00:01:25,959
abides in the vine, neither can
you. If you don' t stay

17
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,760
in me. I am the vine, for others the branches that remain in

18
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:34,120
me and in him the abundant fruit, for if you cannot do anything to

19
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,680
me, he who does not abide
in me, throw him out like the

20
00:01:38,719 --> 00:01:42,680
branch and dry up, then gather
him up and throw them into the fire

21
00:01:42,719 --> 00:01:49,280
and burn. If you remain in
me and my words remain in you,

22
00:01:49,359 --> 00:01:53,280
ask what you desire and it will
be done. With this he receives glory

23
00:01:53,319 --> 00:01:57,680
to my father, with whom you
bear abundant fruit. Thus shall ye be

24
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:06,519
my disciples, said St John Palo
II. To accomplish this you must remain

25
00:02:06,519 --> 00:02:10,319
united to Christ. His words are
the basis of your effectiveness. I am

26
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:16,560
David you branches, for without me
you can do nothing. He also calls

27
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:22,599
you today to one greater love,
because he invites you to a permanent conversion

28
00:02:22,719 --> 00:02:27,520
of the heart. He calls you
a greater union with him in the Church,

29
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,159
for that is where you will find
him, and union with Christ in

30
00:02:32,759 --> 00:02:38,680
his Church is the essential condition for
all your apostolic effectiveness. And he goes

31
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:46,120
on to say, among all the
opportunities that you have open for the exercise

32
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,240
of the individual apostolate. The family
occupies a place of paramount importance. The

33
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:57,039
family can provide an effective response to
the secularization of the world. The family

34
00:02:57,159 --> 00:03:02,439
has a special charism to transmit faith
earth and to stimulate in its development an

35
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:08,919
initial evangelization within the intimacy of the
family, which the individual can find the

36
00:03:09,439 --> 00:03:15,479
opportunity to give a personal witness to
the love of Christ. Parents have the

37
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:22,719
right and duty to chant their children. They have the immense privilege of being

38
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:29,719
the first to teach children to pray. In the words of my predecessor John

39
00:03:29,759 --> 00:03:36,199
Paul I added. I would like
to encourage parents in their role as educators

40
00:03:36,199 --> 00:03:40,879
of children. They are the first
acantechists and the best. What a great

41
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,439
task they have and what a challenge
it is to teach their children to love

42
00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:49,439
God, to make love a reality
of their lives. And, by the

43
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:57,080
grace of God that some families are
easily right to fulfill the mission of being

44
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,000
a prime seminarium, the germ of
a vocation to leisure is nourished through family

45
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,439
prayer, the example of faith and
support, also the support of love.

46
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,439
I hope a shake- up vocation
comes out of the realm of your family,

47
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,840
a son, a grandson, a
nephew, etcetera. Do not stop

48
00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:20,759
praying for that which is imperative the
need for priests, flights, saints,

49
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:29,240
joyful sages, merciful, etcetera.
In the Church Jesus is the vine and

50
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,439
through it, like the lymph in
the tree, brings to the saltings the

51
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:39,079
love of God himself, the Holy
Spirit. That' s right, we

52
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,480
' re the branches. Through that
parable, Jesus wants to make us understand

53
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:48,120
the importance of the United States with
him. The branches are not self-

54
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:54,680
sufficient, but depend entirely on the
vine in which the spring of their life

55
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:01,959
is found. Thus it is for
us Christians inserted with baptism in Christ,

56
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:09,319
we have received from him freely the
gift of new life and we can remain

57
00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:14,279
in vital communion with Christ. Christ
wants me to be united with him,

58
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,439
not only so that I may remain
alive, that is, in a life

59
00:05:17,439 --> 00:05:23,680
of grace, but also so that
my witness as a Christian may be true

60
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,560
and coherent. My prayer must be
a will in the arm of God so

61
00:05:28,879 --> 00:05:31,959
that later I can transmit the current
cultural context. On the other hand,

62
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,800
there is a man model of man
without vocation. The future of children,

63
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,319
adolescents and young people is reduced in
most cases to the lesson of a profession

64
00:05:45,399 --> 00:05:51,439
or to the economic situation or emotional
affective satisfaction, without any openness to the

65
00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:59,000
mystery of one' s own life
goodbye or probutism. In this situation it

66
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,240
is not so easy to speak of
vocation or even less of vocations to the

67
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:10,240
priesthood or to the side, when
we make an indication or a vocational proposal,

68
00:06:10,879 --> 00:06:15,240
we often encounter indifference, even the
rejection not only of children or young

69
00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:20,040
people, but of the same parents. Being a priest does not normally enter

70
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:26,959
his plans. This situation should not
concern us all. Forgiveness must concern us

71
00:06:26,959 --> 00:06:30,240
all without exception, because, in
view of our existence with eyes of faith,

72
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,120
we all have a call, a
vocation. God calls each one to

73
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:40,439
life, a call that contains a
concrete plan of God for each one.

74
00:06:41,519 --> 00:06:46,800
The new life received in gothism also
implies a call in a concrete project of

75
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:51,519
God for each one. In the
church and in the world, vocation is

76
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,720
the thought by the provident of God
about each one, it is his idea,

77
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,680
project. It' s like a
dream that' s in God'

78
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:06,319
s heart because he loves us alive. Vocation is the divine response to be

79
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:14,120
realized. According to this image and
the call is unique, unique and repeatable

80
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,279
that discovers and welcomes it. He
finds in the treasure of his life,

81
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:24,240
the way to be happy in God' s call also finds his name and

82
00:07:24,279 --> 00:07:30,399
identity, which affirms and assures his
freedom, his originality and his happiness.

83
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,560
This task of the parents, the
first educators of their children, help them

84
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:41,920
to discover and take freely and generously
the gift of their own vocation. It

85
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:48,040
is very difficult for us to let
God enter into our plans with regard to

86
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,360
his children, to have their lives
raised from God to follow his ways.

87
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,879
The Christian family, if respectful and
grateful for God’ s gift and for

88
00:07:57,959 --> 00:08:01,079
the good of the children, will
help their children discover their unique and unrepeatable

89
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:07,360
life project. According to God'
s plan. This is the best service

90
00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:11,680
you can give your children to their
development, to their own identity, to

91
00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:18,120
their freedom and to their happiness.
Make Jesus not afraid to be authentic Christian,

92
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:24,079
knowing that all you ask me is
to live always fleeing to YOU and

93
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,720
that the reward you give me is
yourself, that you do not want to

94
00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:33,200
flee from sacrifice and renunciation, provided
that it is more and more similar.

95
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:39,519
To You I gave the blessing,
may the goodness and mercy of God,

96
00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:43,759
Father, fill your heart, may
the gaze of love of God, Son,

97
00:08:43,879 --> 00:08:48,799
penetrate into your soul and purify you
from any uneasiness and lack that can

98
00:08:48,879 --> 00:08:52,000
separate you from God, may the
love of God the Holy Spirit grant you

99
00:08:52,039 --> 00:08:56,639
the peace you need and may the
tenderness of Mary, Mother of God and

100
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,879
our mother caress and protect you and
the strength and make of St Joseph,

101
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,320
our father and lord lead you to
heaven and the blessing of God, father,

102
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,440
son and holy spirit decide upon you
and abide always amen
