Prayer of the Heart, Sunday of the Eighth, Week of Time, Dinary,
Solemnity of the Most Holy. Holy Spirit You are, the soul of
my soul I adjure you, humbly enlighten me, strengthen me, guide me,
comfort me and, as it corresponds to the eternal plan of the God
of God the Father, betray your desires to me. Let me know what
love the ground wants from me. Let me know what I must accomplish,
let me know what I must suffer. Let me know what, with his
silent modesty and prayer, I must accept, carry and endure. Yeah.
Holy Spirit Give me to know your will and the will of the father,
for all my life I want to be nothing other than a perpetual continuous yes
to the desires and eternal desire of God the father. Today we celebrate Saint
Thrippe, Saint Philip of Neri. The Gospel is from St Matthew. Chapter
twenty- eight, verse sixteen to twenty. At that time, the eleven
disciples went to Galilee to the Mount that Jesus had indicated. When they saw
it, they prostrated themselves, but some hesitated to approach them. Jesus said
to them he has given full power in heaven and on earth go and make
disciples of all peoples, baptizing them in the name of the father and of
the son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to keep all that has
been commanded. And know that I am with you every day until the end
of the world. Today' s psalm has two verses that I want to
read to you because they are what I am going to comment on. Thus
says the Eighth Psalm. When I behold the heaven work of thy fingers,
the moon, the sound of the stars which thou hast created, which is
man, that thou mayest remember him the human being, to give him power,
thou hast made him little inferior to the angels, thou hast crowned him
with glory and dignity. You gave him command over the works of your hands.
How beautiful is this psalm that the Church today puts us to our meditation.
To me personally it evokes a look at creation and a thanksgiving for everything
I see, for everything God gives me every day. That' s why
it' s totally true what the antiphon says. How admirable is your name
all over the earth. To admire God his greatness and the beauty of all
that he does. Creation is an admirable work. Redemption is the wonder that
a God who forgives calls the sanctification of the Holy Spirit, is a continuous
prayer of grace that saves us and takes us to heaven. Seeing God in
creation is above all, looking at his beauty, the beauty of God,
and it is this path of beauty that attracts many people. God makes beauty
will save the world, affirmed Stoyski in the voice of Prince Vizkin, the
beauty that can save the world from the contemplation of God and his creation.
It is that unspeakable, ineffable beauty that man discovers in an instant in which
he is able, through contemplation, to discover God and to go more to
his creator, to call his redeemer and to let himself be filled with the
grace of God. These days, in the first communions of the College that
I attend I have told them a deuta that always moves me tell you.
At a religious school they were preparing the children of the First Communion. One
of those days the Bishop went to visit the children who were preparing themselves and
asked for a better understanding of the catechism. He was introduced to a seven
- eight- year- old girl with a sap face. The Bishop asked
him to tell me where God is, and the girl answered perfectly. God
is everywhere, in heaven, on earth, in wages, etcetera.“
Very well,” the Bishop said,“ Tell me then it is also
in the pocket of your uniform” The girl put her hand in the pocket
of her uniform, shook her hand, looked at the bishop with her huge
eyes. He took his time breathing deeply and said yes, Bishop, it
is also in my pocket. Then the bishop, with a scoundrel' s
face, told her the girl, she looked astounding and, after a little
while, without taking her hand out of her pocket, stirring inside, said
with a clear voice, Bishop, she knows what is going on, so
that God is so great that I cannot take him back and so small that
he escapes me. You can' t imagine the face in this case that
the good bishop put. That' s the way it is. God is
so great that I don' t barge him. The creation impresses me and
leads me to meditate on his unity and trinity father, son and holy spirit
and amazes me and is so small that he is able to stay on a
little bread and a little wine so that I can receive him to feed me
on him. That' s God, that' s how God' s
things are, incomprehensible, ineffable, amazing, beautiful. Tell O and Mary
many times daughter of God, father, mother of God, son, wife
of God, Holy Spirit, do so for the others of an almighty God
blessing. Bless you with all kinds of heavenly pins so that you may be
holy and reproach in His presence, pour out upon you the riches of His
grace. Destroy you in the word of truth and with the gospel of salvation.
Make you rich with fraternal charity and the blessing of almighty God, Father,
Son and Holy Spirit, sit upon you and abide always amen
