Prayer of the heart Monday of the eighth week of ordinary time. Holy Spirit
You are the soul of my soul I humbly adore you enlighten me, strengthen
me, guide me, comfort me and, as it corresponds to the eternal
plan of the Father God, reveal to me your desires. Let me know
what eternal love desires of me. Let me know what I must accomplish,
Let me know what I must suffer, Let me know what, with silent
modesty and in prayer, I must accept, carry and endure. Yeah.
Holy Spirit Let me know your will and the will of the Father, for
all my life I want to be nothing but a perpetual continuum. Yes to
the desires and eternal desire of the Father God. Today we celebrate St Augustine
of Cantorberi Bishop of that city and m and what defended the Catholic faith.
The Gospel is from Saint Mark. Chapter ten verses, seventeen to twenty-
seven. At that time, when Jesus went out onto the road, one
ran up to him, knelt down and asked him, Master, well,
what to do to inherit eternal life. And Jesus told him why you call
me good. No one is good if not only God you know the commandments,
do not kill, do not commit, adultery, do not steal,
do not false, do not raise, false testimony, do not be unjust.
Honor your father and your mother, and he then said, Master,
all that I have kept since my youth. Jesus, looking at his gaze
in him, loved him and told him one thing you lack walks when you
have to sell it to the poor and you have a treasure in heaven and
then come and follow me, but he fell down by these words, left
either in sad or because he had many goods. San Marcos tells us that
scene of the young Rico in such detail that it gives the impression that he
witnessed what happened in that conversation. The young Rico had been brought by the
figure of Jesus. I' ve probably heard of him. He had followed
him, had been excited about his words and miracles and approached him to ask
him a good teacher, what should I do to go to heaven. Jesus
' answer is clear, it is already said the law fulfills the commandments you
are the creator of the law and know them very well. He tells them
one by one. And the boy' s answer is clear, he already
buys them. Saint Mark says that Jesus looked at him and loved him.
The Lord looks at him and loves us too. He has looked at us
and loved us from the beginning of our life before, because we are all
in the mind and heart of God. And it is that God cannot not
love them. He is love that manifests it in various ways. Create,
redeem, sanctify, look, forgive, understand, pity, etcetera. In
this case, the bad thing is that when Jesus asks the young man to
follow him, to give himself up, he becomes sad, chickens out and
leaves because he had many goods and leave everything for God. That is something
else to be fulfilled, fulfilled, but leaving everything for God is going to
be that he does not forgive the way of saying so today and for this
reason the young man goes away sad. He' s good, but he
' s not willing to be holy. I am reminded of the older son
of the word of a prodigal son fulfilled, but had no heart at his
father' s house. That' s why he' s jealous. He
is envious and angry when his father forgives his brother who has deported such bad
jealousy pure jealousy. It is true that we are at a time when all
the economic adjustments of the crisis have left us very badly economically. But still,
God keeps asking us to have our hearts detached. Christian poverty means not
so much not having or not using or not using, but having a free
heart. Wanted to love with all of him. God asks us today to
approach poverty of spirit, not to be afraid to depend on it in the
sense that we know how to put all things into his hands by being generous
to others. Sharing is part of man' s social being. Society has
grown, it has become better, it has become more supportive when we have
decided to share, even if little. Whatever we had, Mother Teresa tells
us, and it ended once. She says, Mother Teresa knew a hard
Hindu family with eight children who had nothing to eat. He took some of
the rice and took it away. The children of the children’ s eyes
shone with hunger. His mother took the rice, divided it and left the
street with half the receipt.“ When he returned and Mother Teresa asked him
what he had done,” he replied simply. They' re hungry,
too. They were a Muslim family. Neighbor mother Teresa later commented that night
I gave her no more rice, because she wanted them also to enjoy the
idea of giving what great wisdom that of the Saints. I give you the
blessing God, almighty father. Bless you with all kinds of heavenly goods so
that you may be blameless Saints in His presence. Give me the wealth of
his grace. Teach you with the word of truth and with the gospel of
salvation that I may enrich you with the fraternal charity and blessing of God almighty
father, son, and holy spirit come down upon you and accompany you always amen
