Prayer of the Heart Sunday of the Fifth Week of Easter, Oh, Holy
Spirit Love of the Father and the Son, Always inspire me what I must
think, what I must say, how I must say, not that I
must shut up, what I must act, what I must do for the
Glory of God, well of the Souls and my own sanctification. Holy Spirit
Give me. Accuracy to understand, ability to retain, method and faculty to
learn, subtlety to interpret, Thank you and effectiveness to speak. Give me,
right at the start, direction, progress and perfection, at the end.
Amen. Today we celebrate St Louis Mary, Griñón de Montfort, the
Gospel of St John, chapter fifteen verses, one to eight. At that
time Jesus said to his disciples. I am the true vine and my father
is the farmer. Every branch of mine that beareth no fruit plucketh it up,
and every one that beareth fruit pruneth not, that it may give the
fruit. You are already cleansed by the words that I have spoken to you,
but you do it to me and I to you. As a branch
it cannot bear fruit on its own unless it abides in the vine, neither
can you. If you do not remain in me, I am the vine
you, the branches that remain in me and I in him that bear abundant
fruit, for without me you can do nothing. He who does not remain
in me is blind outside like the branch and dries up and one gathers it,
throws it into the fire and burns if you remain in me and my
words that seem in you ask what you desire and it will be done.
With this my father receives my glory, with which you bear fruit, so
six disciples, my many diciples. Lord You have told me that if I
am not attached to the vine, I do not pout the fruit. I
know that you are that see and that prayer is the burn to you.
Help me in this meditation to know you more to be closer to You that
I cannot separate and that you can never separate me so that I can bear
much fruit of love in my life, Lord that I never part from you.
To accomplish this we must remain united with Christ. His words are the
basis of our effectiveness. I am the vine your branches, for without me
you can do nothing. He also calls us today to a greater A greater
love, because he invites us to a permanent conversion of the heart. He
calls us a greater union with him in his Church, for that is where
we find him, and union with Christ in his Church is the essential condition
of all our apostolic significance. We have heard the good news of salvation and
embraced it with joy, bearing fruits of justice and holiness of life. But
it is important that the grace of faith be developed in us and in all
customers with the help of God and lead us to a deeper knowledge of the
person and message of our Lord Jesus Christ. The need for systematic catechesis is
one of the greatest needs of the Church at this time. It is a
great challenge for all of us, as Catholics, as laymen, it is
called, Pope John said for an individual and collectively II to face this challenge.
Among all the opportunities we have open for the exercise of the individual bet,
the family occupies a place of paramount importance. The family can provide an
effective response to the secularization of the world. The family has a special charism
to transmit the faith and to be and to stimulate in its development an initial
evangelization within the intimacy of the family that individuals can find the opportunity to give
a personal witness of Christ' s love. Parents have the right and duty
to catalyze their children. He has the privilege of being the first to teach
his children to pray in the words of John Paul II. I would like
to encourage parents to say, in their role as educators of children, they
are the first catechists and the best that great task have and what challenge to
teach their children to love God, to make lovelessness, an idea of their
life and by the grace of God that easily accept some families to fulfill the
mission of being primum seminarium. The germ of a vocation to the priesthood is
nourished through family prayer, the example of faith and the support of love.
So far from the words of Pope John by II, also quoting John Palurmer,
Jesus is the vine Through him, as the lymph of the tree,
brings to the branches the love of God himself, the holy spirit is so
We are branches and through this parable, Jesus wants to make us understand the
importance is united to him. The branches are not self- sufficient, but
depend entirely on the vine in which the spring of their life is found.
Thus it is for us Christians inserted with autism into Christ, we have freely
received from him the gift of eternal life and can remain in communion with Christ.
Christ wants me to be united with him, not only so that it
may be so that I may demand myself alive, that is, in the
life of Grace, but also so that my witness as a Christian may be
true and coherent. My prayer must be to want to fill me with God
and then be able to convey it. Seek to join God throughout this day
so that he will act through You in each of your acts. Jesus make
me not afraid to be a true Christian. Eh knowing that all he asks
of me is to always serve together with YOU and that the reward you give
me is you yourself who do not want to flee sacrifice and renunciation as long
as it is more and more similar. To You I gave the blessing,
that the goodness and mercy of God, Father, has the heart that as
the love of God, Son, they see the slope in your soul and
purify you from any restlessness and lack that can separate you from God, that
the love of God the Holy Spirit grant you the peace that you need,
that the tenderness of Mary, Father of God and our mother caresses and protects
you, and that the strength and confinement of Saint Joseph, our father,
Lord Thee, lead to heaven and the mission of God, father, son
and holy spirit, descends upon you and accompanies you always Amen.
