Prayer of the heart Sunday of the tenth, first week of ordinary time of
the eleventh week of ordinary time. Forgive me, holy spirit, You who
make everything clear to me, who enlighten all the ways so that I may
reach my ideal, You who give me the divine gift of forgiving and forgetting
the evil that they do to me and that in all the moments of my
life you are with me. I want you, in this short dialogue,
to thank you for everything and confirm that I never want to separate myself from
you, however much it is the material illusion of that being with you and
all my loved ones of perpetual glory. Thank you for your mercy to me
and mine. Thank you, my God. Today we celebrate St John Francis
Regis, the Gospel of St Mark, Chapter four verses twenty- six to
thirty- four. At that time, Jesus told the crowd the Kingdom of
God resembles what happens when a man sows seed on the earth, which spends
the nights and the days without him knowing how. The seed germinates and grows
and the earth alone produces the fruit, first the stems, then the one
of spikes and then you achieve in the ears. And when the grains are
already ripe, the man made hand in hand with the sickle, for the
time has come for the harvest. He also told her what we will compare
God’ s Kingdom with what parable we can represent. It is like a
mustard seed that, when sown, is the smallest of the seeds, but
once sown it grows and becomes the largest of the shrubs and made branches so
large that birds can give in its shade and with many other similar parables.
The Saints stood before them by explaining his message, according to what they could
understand and there were only parables, but to his disciples he explained everything in
private. Come Holy Spirit guides this time of gratification so that it becomes that
seed that bears fruit with good works. I believe, hope and love you
make my faith grow, my hope strengthen, strengthen and my charity multiply,
Lord multiplies for the sake of the church and the triumph of your kingdom,
the fruits of my apostolate. Today' s bass is formed by the two
very brief parables, that of the seed that germinates and grows by itself and
that of the mustard seed. Through these images taken from the rural world,
Jesus presents the effectiveness of God' s word and the demands of his kingdom,
showing the reasons for our hope and our commitment in history. In the
first parable he focuses attention on the fact that the seed made on the earth
takes hold and develops by itself, whether the peasant sleeps or is awake,
he trusts in the inner power of the same seed and in the fertility of
the ground. In angelic language, the seed is a symbol of the word
of God, whose fruitfulness is invoked by this parable, just as the humble
seed develops on earth. Thus the word works with the power of God in
the heart of those who listen to it. God has entrusted his word to
our earth, that is, to each one of us, with our concrete
humanity. We can have confidence, because the word of God is a creator
destined to become the grain full of the spike. This parable is accepted,
it brings forgiveness. He' s here for now. If it is accepted,
bring its fruits surely, because God himself makes it germinate and mature through
ways that we cannot always verify and in a way that we do not know
and in a way that we do not know. All this makes us understand
that it is always God who makes his kingdom grow. For this we pray
so much that your kingdom may come. He' s the one who makes
it grow. Man in his humble co- worker, who contemplates and rejoices
in divine creative action and patiently waits for its fruits. This is not the
smallest of all seeds and still the largest of all the shrubs. This is
the inner life and Christ has made it known to us in this way.
I' ll tell you how a wise man anecdotes. He wanted to understand
that he pushed his fellow men to work all their lives. He visited a
stone quarry and saw a man giving the beak and shovel and asked him what
you' re doing. He tore the stones for my boss' s damned.
I cut all day to get a piece of bread and kept cursing his
little luck as he continued to chop stone. A second worker was asked by
the wise man himself what he answered. He asked her the same thing.
I' m working to pay for the house and take the hunger out of
mine. Soon I will settle my debts and continue to work this one already
eagerly. He still interviewed a third man and you what you' re doing.
The man raised his head interrupting his effort and the saurius recognized a raging
face of strength, of joy, you do not see him friend and with
a gesture concealed a distant building. Even in the beginning I am building an
enterial cathedral. The sage who the three materially did the same, but the
work was different, because it depends on how it is done. The important
thing is not the materiality of making a Connors effort, but where it is
headed from our effort, where it is going to take the heart. That
is, the most important thing is not value, it is not the value
or subjective of personal accomplishment is to train work or hard frequency perfects us.
The only thing you have to do to own that magnificent bush is to grow
that little seed until it fully grows. Thus, the inner life at first
is like a small seed later within your heart, which does so much that
it fills the whole heart. It' s like love that gives true fetility.
It is so small at the beginning that today we have to grow it
to grow and strengthen it little by little. It becomes stronger until it stands
on its own, but remains fragile, because any axe can knock it down.
Therefore, it needs continuous care. This is what needs to be done
with the inner life, taking care of it when it is well quescrecidas so
that no axe or electric saw will throw it under us. Jesus, help
me to fulfill my mission and live an active Christianity at the behest of your
Church. Help me to be the instrument for others to find God so that
I can sanctify myself by truly loving you and others. For you, I
give you the blessing that God, Father, will accompany you in your heart.
Take care of you, make you strong, joyful and faithful, may
God, son, make you feel his tenderness and mercy. Remove from your
heart any anxiety that can make you suffer that God, Holy Spirit, deduces
you with intelligence force your heart renewed spirit and determination to love with all your
heart that Blessed Mary will make you feel her mother' s warmth and her
loving embrace, hell and go go go I will take care of you with
her father' s heart, in the name of father and son and holy
spirit to me
