00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:07,280
Prayer of the heart Thursday of the
Easter Octave of Resurrection. Come Holy Spirit,

2
00:00:07,679 --> 00:00:11,519
without you there is no life worth
living. Therefore, from my doubts,

3
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:18,719
fears, transannies and librities, I
want to invoke you come Holy Spirit,

4
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:22,559
to water it that you are.
Dry Come to strengthen what is weak,

5
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:29,399
come to heal what is sick.
Transfer me, restore me, renew

6
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:36,479
me with intimate and fruitful ration.
Today we celebrate Saint Benedict Massarare, among

7
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,240
the Gospels of Saint Luke. Chapter
twenty- four vesicles thirty- five to

8
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:45,200
forty- eight. At that time
he told loriscipulos what had happened to them

9
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,200
along the way and how they had
recognized Jesus from the breaking of the bread.

10
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,119
They were talking about these things.
When he presents himself to Jesus in

11
00:00:55,159 --> 00:00:59,200
the midst of them and tells peace
to you full of fear by surprise,

12
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,840
they thought they saw a phantom cynic. He told them why you are alarmed,

13
00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:07,120
why doubts arise within you, look
at my hands and feet. It

14
00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:11,120
' s me in person beating me
and realizing that a ghost doesn' t

15
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:15,040
have carri and bones like you hear
I have. And having said this,

16
00:01:15,359 --> 00:01:19,519
he showed them his hands and his
feet, and since they had not just

17
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,319
wanted for joy, they were still
amazed, and he said to them,

18
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,799
" You have something to eat"
They offered him a piece of roast fish.

19
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:30,439
He took it and ate before them
and told them this is what I

20
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,280
told you while I was with you
that everything written in the law of Moses

21
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,480
and in the prophets and psalms about
me had to be fulfilled. Then he

22
00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:46,560
opened their understanding to understand the scriptures, and thus he added, and it

23
00:01:46,599 --> 00:01:49,200
was written in messiah, and he
shall suffer from the dead. On the

24
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,040
third day and in his name will
be preached the conversion and the predon of

25
00:01:53,359 --> 00:02:00,519
sins to all peoples, beginning with
Jerusalem, you are witnesses of this he

26
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,799
comments to Pope Francis, He,
on the evening of Easter, opens the

27
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:10,400
minds of the disciples to the mystery
of his death and resurrection and tells them

28
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,560
you are Tensive of all this.
The apostles who saw with their own eyes

29
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:20,719
that this resurrected man could not silence
his extraordinary experience. He had shown himself

30
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:24,919
to them so that the truth of
his resolution would reach all through his witness,

31
00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:30,960
and the Church has the task of
prolonging this mission in time. Every

32
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,520
baptized person is called to bear witness
with the words and with the life that

33
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,599
Jesus has risen, that Jesus is
alive and present among us all, we

34
00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:46,439
all have, we are all called
to bear witness that Jesus is alive.

35
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,800
We can ask ourselves, but who
is the witness, the witness one that

36
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,479
has seen, that remembers and counts
to see remember and so are the three

37
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,319
verbs that describe the r of nra
and the vision. Dismissal is one that

38
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:06,479
has seen, with objective eye,
that has seen a reality, but not

39
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:12,159
with indifferent eye, has seen and
let itself be involved by event. That

40
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:17,319
is why he remembers not only because
you know how to reconstruct the events in

41
00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:23,039
a precise way, but also because
those facts have spoken to him and have

42
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,680
captured his deep sense. Then the
witness counts not in a cold and distant

43
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,080
way, but as one who has
stopped questioning and since that day has changed

44
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:38,080
gives life. The witness is one
who changes his life. The content of

45
00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:44,240
Christian witness is not a theory,
it is not an ideology or a complex

46
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:49,120
system of precepts and prohibitions or a
moralism, but it is a message of

47
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,719
salvation, a concrete event. It' s more like a person. He

48
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,479
is Christ, risen, living and
only saved from all. He can be

49
00:03:58,599 --> 00:04:02,039
witnessed by who he is, a
personal experience has been made of him in

50
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,680
prayer and in the church through a
path that has its foundation in baptism,

51
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,759
its nourishment, it is madness,
its seal in confirmation, its continuous conversion

52
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:17,160
into penance so far a worthiness of
Pope Francis. Joy, as good is

53
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:24,759
itself diffusive, is allowed you always
got the job that you were looking for

54
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,879
your son Pasol that more difficult solved
a problem that was at work. Then

55
00:04:29,959 --> 00:04:32,759
you feel happy and you want everyone
to find out and go out with you.

56
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,160
That' s what happened to the
faint Maus and the other cyps in

57
00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:44,079
the first encounters with the Risen One. They have recognized the Risen Christ and

58
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,720
want everyone to rejoice with them.
They have become missionaries, apostles of the

59
00:04:49,639 --> 00:04:55,920
Gospel. The fruit of recognizing Jesus
is always the same. Joy. For

60
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,800
nothing we remember that smile of Mother
Teresa of Calcutta, who learned to recognize

61
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:06,079
Jesus in her neighbor to meet Christ. Don' t let your pending things

62
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:12,680
distract you from your purpose by devoting
more time to prayer and to the resurrected

63
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,199
dialogue Jesus. Like the disciples,
I sometimes see the fulfillment of your Holy

64
00:05:15,319 --> 00:05:21,800
will as something disproportionate to my strength. My illusions, influenced by my selfishness

65
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,560
and pride, do not allow me
to discover what I really must do.

66
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,160
I want to be faithful and correspond
to your love. That is why I

67
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:34,319
ask for the intercession of Mary,
your most holy mother, so that,

68
00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:40,040
like her, she will never doubt
your divine providence and let your grace act.

69
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:46,879
These Easter memories we can meditate on
with these other testimonies of the resolution.

70
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:54,120
The holy women tomas the apostles are
like flashes about a reality that will

71
00:05:54,199 --> 00:06:00,759
always overflow us and that make us
glimpse what Christ expects this risen to expect

72
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:05,800
from us. It is always he
who takes the initiative and who manifests himself

73
00:06:05,879 --> 00:06:13,279
freely choosing whomever he wants. He
wants to be recognized and shows signs to

74
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:18,240
achieve it, but does not force
anything let his interlocutor find his answer in

75
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:24,759
freedom. This encounter breaks in such
a way all the conceptions about life and

76
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,720
death that each one must make a
whole journey of recognition, fear, doubt,

77
00:06:30,199 --> 00:06:34,399
joy, incredulousness, commotion, adoration. Some of the disciples get it,

78
00:06:34,759 --> 00:06:40,199
they don' t get forgiveness.
Each reveals his inner dispositions and we

79
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:45,160
understand that the decisive thing to advance
toward him is love. Once recognized,

80
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,319
Jesus reveals that he is no longer
dead, but alive. Speak walks,

81
00:06:49,639 --> 00:06:56,560
eats that he is still the same
but different master of the limitations of this

82
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,600
world. Jesus records his resolve and
the son history of Israel in the Holy

83
00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:06,040
Scripture and invites us to read them
and understand them in the light of the

84
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,879
Paschal event. In addition, he
leads from the visible to the invisible,

85
00:07:11,439 --> 00:07:15,959
from the physical contact, to the
signs of the sensitive presence, to the

86
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,439
sacraments in which he will surrender himself
and, above all, to the locrest

87
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:23,920
of his interlocutors. Understand that Jesus
is more than the Messiah, my lord,

88
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,639
and my God exclaims all, all
these encounters end with a mission sending.

89
00:07:30,519 --> 00:07:35,680
Jesus trusts in each one the responsibility
to count this encounter with him and

90
00:07:35,839 --> 00:07:42,000
to bear witness to the good news
of salvation. Jesus thus forms the heart

91
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:46,759
and intellect to bear witness to him
before the Holy Spirit of strength to do

92
00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:54,920
so. All these apparitions of the
risen Christ thus reflect a personal encounter with

93
00:07:55,040 --> 00:08:00,959
him. Each of us is called
to them by the sacrans in prayer and

94
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:07,240
in all our lives. Jesus is
always our contemporary and we too are called

95
00:08:07,399 --> 00:08:13,680
by him to take up the same
challenge as his first witnesses, you Say,

96
00:08:13,839 --> 00:08:18,040
the blessing God the Father, who, by the resolution of his only

97
00:08:18,279 --> 00:08:24,279
begotten son, has redeemed you and
given you witness of the adoption filar Os

98
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:30,279
Colme with the joy of his blessing, Christ who placed retention or held perfect

99
00:08:30,279 --> 00:08:33,720
freedom. May I grant you to
share in the eternal inheritance and you,

100
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:37,759
raised by baptism, by faith,
through a holy life, may come to

101
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,080
the heavenly part and the blessing of
God, almighty father, son and holy

102
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:48,200
spirit, saying about you and always
accompany you amen
