Heart choice. Holy Tuesday too. Igres celebrates today San Braulio de Zaragoza.
Is it you, sir, who has suffered death for me to live?
How can I rejoice in my freedom if I owe it, if I owe
it to your trims? Is it you, sir, who has suffered death
for me to live? How can I rejoice in my salvation if I have
loved her for your suffering? Is it you, sir, who has suffered
death for me to live? Lord, have you suffered for what have you
wanted for love and mercy? Is it you, sir, who has suffered
death for me to live? The Gospel of St John, chapter thirteen verses,
twenty- one from now on. At that time, Jesus was at
table with his disciples without durbus in his spirit and I testified by saying in
truth. Truly I say to you that one of you will give me the
disciples. They looked at each other, they looked at each other perplexed by
not knowing who one of them was talking about, who Jesus already loved,
was reclining at the table. In the bosom of Jesus, Simon, Peter
signaled to him to find out why he was saying it. Then he,
leaning on Peter' s breast, asked him," Sir, who is
he," answered Jesus, whom I give this piece of bread and spread
bread to," Judas, son of Simon, the iscariot behind the bread,
came into him satan" Then Jesus told him what you' re going
to do soon. None of the diners understood what Judas meant by keeping the
bag. Some assumed that Jesus ordered him to buy not needed for the feast
or something for the poor Judas. After taking the bread, he left immediately.
It was night when he went out, said Jesus now is glorified the
son of man and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in
him, God will also glorify him in himself. Soon you' ll be
glorified, little children. I don' t have much left. He can
be with you. You will look for me, but what I said to
the Jews or I say now to you where I go you, you cannot
go. Simon Peter tells you, sir, where you' re going.
Jesus answered where I am going. You can' t go on now you
' ll follow me later, Pedro, sir, why can' t I
follow you now I' ll give my life for You. Jesus answered him
with what you will give your life for me in truth. I' m
telling you, the rooster won' t sing before you' ve denied me
three times. Lord, I stand in your presence because you are the source
of love. You are my light and my salvation. I believe in You
because you are faithful to your promises. I trust you because you' re
the friend who gives his life for friends. I love you because you have
loved me first, Lord inspire me the desire to follow you, to give
myself to You unreservedly and persevere in love. Lord, may I realize that
I am a Christian in need of your grace, of your love, to
realize that without your grace I cannot be faithful to your friendship. A long
time ago I got that testimony from the parents that really at that moment and
I remember it with affection, it excited me just as I misled you.
I don' t know Antonio or Isabel, but I' m impressed by
what Antonio says and it helped me realize that we have to stand by the
lord and ask him for forgiveness, recommending every time we offend or deny him.
Antonio. Isabel has two children, six and seven years old. Friday
afternoon, prepared food store, puts me two tortillas, one with onion and
one without and one with croquettes. When I see myself asking for so many
things, accompanied by my two little children, the person in charge of reading
questions of who is Picum, whose is he turns out My seven- year
- old daughter, overflowing with happiness says it is not my summit. I
' m just going to make the first confession. Earth bring me the dependent
asking why I hadn' t understood my proud daughter well by explaining and I
literally plugged her mouth dead of shame. I even take my daughter away and
tell her to shut her eyes. If I am disconcerted as Peter is,
the crowing of the rooster strikes me and I realize how much I have betrayed
her and the lord. How many times, sir, I' ve gone
from praising you on Sunday as in bouquets to getting you the day after work.
How many times internally I have been ashamed of you of the vocation you
have given me of my children, of my family. How many times I
compare myself to others and I think the party of life is elsewhere and I
' m missing it. How many times, sir, I look only at
the reflection of my family, unable to thank such a great gift. So
far the testimony, so far I do not forgive. I kept saying,
Antonio, I don' t like Santa week. I think because I don
' t like to know the sinner. I prefer to feel redeeming as an
example to follow, but in Holy Week I usually have been in breach of
my purposes for about forty days. I have not prayed what I wanted,
I have not listened, I have not served, I have not and like
Judas, I do not want to stand before the crucified scourged lord because I
feel. I feel that I have not been up to it and Antonio continues,
but St Paul reminds me of who will separate us from his love and
it is true, nothing neither persecution, nor pain, nor those of two
worse sins can separate you from the love of God, who did not forgive
his own son for the reeds let yourself be rescued God, God be God,
He loves us, as we are with our sins, unconfessable with the
hell we have created and does not want us to carry alone the crosses that
have touched us. He seeks his help in prayer and in the sacraments.
I will say as Peter, you know everything, and he will give you
new strength to take care of that flock, that family that entrusted you.
Now yes, so far the belt that I prefer not to comment on,
because I spoil it has given me a lot to think about. There is
also the possibility in our lives of betraying or defending the teacher. For this
reason it is necessary to live in continuous communion with God. Every day we
must ask the Lord to grant us the grace of the final perseverance of our
faith. The experience of failure, of limitations, of weakness and of sin
should lead us to reflect on the fact that, through our efforts alone,
nothing can, but helped by the grace of God, we will be ends
to the friendship of Christ. If Jesus cannot do anything about St John,
we must learn that great love and that great trust in Jesus Christ as the
beloved disciple. We are called to seek our comfort and joy with the tabernacle
at some point prays a father of ours and makes a spiritual community to ask
God for the grace not to abandon him. Jesus, you know me well
you know who I am you know that without you I am weak and weak,
but with you I can do everything. I ask you never to walk
away from me and do not allow me to turn away from you, I
need you, my God, because without your love my life is meaningless.
I give you the blessing God, merciful father, who left us the witness
of his love in the wave passion son Jesus Christ. Give you the admirable
gift of his blessing for the service of the terios and men, for you
believe that by the temporary death of his son I was freed from eternal death.
Give you the reward of future life and, following his examples of humility,
you deserve to share in his resurrection and the blessing of God almighty father
son and holy spirit. Decline upon you, and abide always Amen.
