Prayer of the heart Thursday of the tenth week of ordinary time. Holy Spirit,
You who make everything clear to me, who illuminate all the ways for
me to 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, in this short dialogue,
to thank you for everything and confirm that I never want to separate myself
from you, however much material illusion. I want to be with you and
all my loved ones in something imperpetuous. Thank you for your mercy to me
and mine. Thank you, my God. Today we celebrate San Antonio de
Padua. Gospel is to mateus chapter five verses, twenty to twenty- six.
At that time Jesus said to his disciples. If you are not better
than the Doves and Pharisees, you will not enter the River of Heaven.
You heard that the ancients were told. No. No, no, marta
two and whoever kills will be prosecuted. But I tell you everyone who'
s in a fight with his brother will be prosecuted. And if you call
your brother- in- law an asshole, he' ll have to appear
before the Sanhedrin and be called the renegade. He deserves the condemnation of fire.
Therefore, if, when you are going to put your offering on the
altar, you remember right there that your brother has complaints against you, leave
your offering there to the altar and go first with the conciliar with your brother
and then return to present your offering with the one who puts you and puts
the plethora in order to make a relationship with you immediately while you are still
on your way, lest I give you to the judge, that the judge
may put you in prison and put you in jail. I assure you,
you won' t get out of there until you' ve paid the last
quarter. Lord, thank you for reminding me that you do not want offers
or a prayer far from reality. In clean piety. The heart of all
resentment and bitterness all n a chorus envy with your grace could be an instrument
of your peace. Lord grant me to apologize immediately with a kind gesture all
the offenses and small inconveniences of the day in this very clear way is and
people comment Pope Francis on the establishment of the law. There is the law
to God and did it to the Projimo and both together. I cannot say,
but I do not fulfill the first three commandments and those others, more
or less, are not united. Love of God and love of the Projimo
are one unity. And if you want to do real or formal penance,
you must do ahead of God and also with your brother, with the Projimo.
And as James says, he can do, you can, you have
a lot of faith, but if you don' t do works, it
' s useless. You can go to Mass every Sunday or commune and at
the same time ask yourself how your relationship with your black- spagas workers you
expect that or just. It also pays the pension contribution, to ensure their
health, those men and women of faith who divide the stable of the law.
Yes, but I do, but you doubt alms. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. He always sent Chek the Czech, the Church. Ah well,
but in your house with the hangs on you and there are children or
grandparents, workers, you' re generous you' re fair. You cannot
make offerings to the Ilysia on the shoulders of the injustice you do to your
workers. That here the text of the Pope, And it is true,
does not make much sense to present as a good Christian the fulfillment of his
standards, but then not to have the heart either in God or in the
rest of Jesus. It speaks of reality, giving it a new meaning,
enlightening it with the spirit of the law to exemplify love for others. He
talks about the story of the good Samaritan and concludes now go and abturo himself
and when the details of everyday life go down, he knows that most of
his listeners could be the protagonists of his examples. And if it is true
that love is the commandment itself, how it is put into practice. Jesus
illustrates them with three cases. First of all, those who avoid and insult
friendship against one’ s neighbor will not be like a Christian. But beyond
the negative process, you' ll kill him. You don' t know
the boundless horizon of the love of the progym. The first step is to
avoid is to make attitudes. Jesus will stop at them only as a mere
intermediate step. He goes further. Therefore, it is a good time to
make others also our own samen of consciousness to ask you in the light of
faith what about all this. In my heart to know, to forgive,
not to keep curlers and to imitate with it jesus is demanding, but at
no time it is liberating. The grace of God imposed us on it.
It is a work proper to the Holy Spirit. If we let him act
in his soul, if you are distanced from someone, he takes the first
step towards reconciliation. I had a friend years ago I lost track of him
years ago I never heard him speak ill of anyone. He didn' t
stop it, only in the group of friends we were college students, we
all knew him because as someone you could trust was really that a friend with
capital letters. The truth is that he left in all of us an impressive
sign of kindness and gratitude and, even if it is long, I find
you this fact that a few years ago he told a group of students about
it and that it served us to act on friendship. It' ll make
her unlucky. Next thing I know, I got a phone call from a
good friend. I was very pleased with your call. The first thing he
asked was how you' re not knowing why. He answered very alone.
You want us to talk. He told me. I said yes and he
said you want me to come to your house and he said yes. He
hung up the phone and in the middle of fifteen minutes he was already knocking
on my door. I will have for hours all of my work, my
family, my girlfriend, my debts, him and I was attentive always listened
to me and so for these hours it became day. I was tired.
Mentally, I had done a lot of good with her and, above all,
with her listening to me, supporting me and making me see my mistakes.
I felt very comfortable and when he noticed that I was feeling better,
he said well, I leave I have to work and I was surprised and
told him and why you told me and why you didn' t tell him
that you have to work. Look now that it' s you haven'
t slept at all I took your time all night and he smiled and told
me there' s no problem for that were friends. I felt every happy
and proud villamar to have such a friend. You walk him to the door
of my house and when he was going to make a car and I asked
him hey and all this, why he calls me tonight so late, he
turned and told me quietly is that he wanted to tell you a news and
asked him what it is and he told me I went to the doctor yesterday
and told me that I am very sick. I have cancer. It'
s irreversible and I have three months left to finish. I kept my mind
and he smiled at me and told me we' ll talk about this if
you have a good day. I' m back and that was it.
I had a good time until I assimilated the situation and asked myself one more
time and why. When he asked me how I was, I forgot about
him and that speaks about me how he had the strength to smile at me
to give me encouragement. And so tell me everything he told me. Being
in this situation, this is amazing. My friend died two months ago.
Since then my life has changed Thank you. Lord You have taught me to
love and seek holiness, You have given Me to supper, hope charity to
sustain me to orient myself to the source of your grace so that I can
live love daily. Mary, mother of mercy, help me to cultivate in
a heart like yours. I give you the blessing that the goodness and mercy
of God, Father gave you in the heart, that the gaze of love
of God, son, perishes in your soul and I have purified you from
whatever you lack that you can separate from God, that the love of God
the Holy Spirit grant you the peace you need, that the closure varies,
that the mother of God and our mother caresses and protects you, and that
the strength and determination of St. Lord, I led thee into heaven and
the coming of God almighty father, son, and holy spirit, being upon
thee, and ever with thee ale.
