00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:07,400
Prayer of the Heart Sunday of the
Third Week of Easter Oh Holy Spirit Love,

2
00:00:07,599 --> 00:00:13,240
of the Father and of the Son, Always inspire me what I must

3
00:00:13,279 --> 00:00:19,440
think, what I must say or
how I must say it, what I

4
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,800
must silence, how I must act, what I must do for Glory,

5
00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:28,559
for God, for the Souls and
for my own sanctification. Holy Spirit Give

6
00:00:28,559 --> 00:00:33,079
me. Accuracy to understand, ability, to retain, method and faculty,

7
00:00:33,079 --> 00:00:38,759
to learn, subtlety to interpret,
grace and efficacy to speak, Give me,

8
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,159
right, the beginning, direction,
progressing and perfection, at the end

9
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:51,320
of Amen. Today we celebrate St
Lidia of Esquirem the Gospel of St Luke.

10
00:00:51,399 --> 00:00:54,479
Chapter twenty- four, vesicles thirty- five to forty- eight.

11
00:00:55,399 --> 00:00:59,200
At that time the disciples told of
what they had seen, but had passed

12
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,880
along the way and how they had
recognized Jesus from the bread they were talking

13
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,000
about those things. When Jesus appeared
in the midst of them and said peace

14
00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:11,319
to you filled with fear of surprise, they thought they saw a ghost and

15
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:15,280
told him why you were alarmed,
for his Gerud is within you to look

16
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,640
at a thousand hands and my feet. It' s me in person palpad

17
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,879
I realized that a ghost has no
flesh and bones like you hear I have.

18
00:01:23,719 --> 00:01:26,760
And having said this, he showed
them his hands and feet as they

19
00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:30,000
had not just wanted for joy and
were still amazed. He told her you

20
00:01:30,239 --> 00:01:34,640
have something to eat. They offered
him a piece of roast fish peace.

21
00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:38,200
He ate it and took it and
ate it in front of them and told

22
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,280
them. This is what I told
you as they were covering with you that

23
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,519
all things were written by the law
of Moses and the prophets and psalms about

24
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,239
me to be fulfilled. Then he
opened their understanding to understand the scriptures,

25
00:01:52,519 --> 00:01:57,439
and thus he added, the Messiah
will suffer from the dead. On the

26
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,920
third day and in his name will
be preached the conversion and forgiveness of sins

27
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,840
to all peoples, beginning with Jerusalem, you are witnesses of this. He,

28
00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:14,000
on the evening of Easter, opens
the mind among the disciples to the

29
00:02:14,039 --> 00:02:17,039
mystery of his death and resurrection and
tells them you are witnesses of all this.

30
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:23,400
The apostles who saw the risen Christ
with their own eyes could not silence

31
00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:28,840
their extraordinary experience he had shown himself
to them so that the truth of his

32
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:34,080
resurrection could reach OAll through his testimony. In fact, the mission of the

33
00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:39,280
apostles and ours is to be witnesses
of Christ’ s resurrection. It is

34
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,960
up to us to manifest with our
life that Christ has risen. The Church

35
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:50,560
has the task of prolonging this mission
in time. Every baptized person is called

36
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,639
to bear witness with the words and
with the life that Jesus has risen,

37
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:59,560
that Christ is alive and present in
our midst. All of us are called

38
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:06,919
to bear witness that Jesus is alive. We can ask ourselves, but who

39
00:03:07,039 --> 00:03:09,960
is the witness? The witness is
one who has seen, remembers and counts

40
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,759
seeing, remembering and counting. They
are the three verbs that describe identity and

41
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,319
mission. The witness is one who
has seen with objective eye, has seen

42
00:03:20,479 --> 00:03:23,240
a reality, but not with indifferent
eye, has seen and has ceased to

43
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:29,960
be involved by the event. That
is why he remembers not only because he

44
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,400
knows how to reconstruct in a precise
way the events that have happened, but

45
00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:39,759
also because those facts that have spoken
to him and he has grasped the deep

46
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:46,680
meaning, then the witness counts not
in a cold and instant way, but

47
00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:51,680
with one as one who leaves himself, who has let himself be questioned and

48
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,439
since that day has changed his life. The witness is one who changes,

49
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,400
who has changed his life. The
content of Christian witness is not a theory,

50
00:03:58,919 --> 00:04:02,599
it is not an ideology, a
complex system of precepts and prohibitions or

51
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:08,919
a moralism, but it is a
message of salvation, a concrete event.

52
00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:16,199
Moreover one person is Christ, risen, living and the only savior of all.

53
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,519
He can be witnessed by those who
have made a personal experience of him

54
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:25,000
in prayer and in the church through
a path that has its foundation in baptism,

55
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,879
its nourishment, its locustcy, its
seal, in the confession, its

56
00:04:28,879 --> 00:04:34,279
continuous conversion, in penance. True
joy is contagious, because good is diffuse,

57
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:40,639
by itself, unstoppable and expands.
The person who rejoices, who is

58
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,920
happy, transmits it for all his
pores, said Cova Francisco at the Evangeli

59
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:50,759
Gaudion Asstation. An evangelizer should not
have a permanent funeral face. Let us

60
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:56,399
receive and increase the fervor. It
is the joy of the one who has

61
00:04:56,399 --> 00:05:00,199
found a meaning in his life,
although sometimes it is not easy. String

62
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,680
of Pope Francis and Christians, whose
action seems to be that of one who

63
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:09,600
more or more pasque, long faces, repressed joy, an apparent sadness.

64
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,560
If the Christian does not rejoice,
he is not a Christian, because the

65
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,240
joy of the Christian is anchored in
God, he rests in him, says

66
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,319
the Porbre Francisco, but I recognize
that joy is not lived in the same

67
00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:25,639
way in all stages and circumstances of
life, sometimes very harsh. It adapts

68
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,800
and transforms and always remains, at
least as an outburst of light that is

69
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,720
born from the personal certainty of being
infinitely loved, most loved of all.

70
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:39,759
The certainty of being loved has us
on the way saves us from the sadness

71
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,480
caused by pain and loss, because
it is true that we do not always

72
00:05:44,519 --> 00:05:47,800
find dream peace, the worries of
life, misfortunes and crosses, tears and

73
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:57,839
moments of difficulty influence us and erase
our smile. That' s what happened

74
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,399
to the books of maus Aris known
Risen Christ and they want everyone to rejoice

75
00:06:01,399 --> 00:06:08,639
with them. They have become missionaries, apostles of the Gospel. The fruit

76
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:13,759
of recognizing Jesus is always the same. Joy. For nothing, we remember

77
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,040
that smile of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, for example, who learned to recognize

78
00:06:17,079 --> 00:06:26,319
Jesus in her neighbor. Says Isaiah, strengthen your weak hands, strengthen your

79
00:06:26,399 --> 00:06:31,560
hesitant knees, tell the heartless cowards
be strong. Do not be afraid to

80
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,759
look to your God who brings the
requital people come, he will make reparation

81
00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:40,240
and save you. The blind will
take off, the blind' s eyes

82
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:43,560
will open, the deaf' s
ears will open. He' ll jump

83
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,959
like a deer, the lame one, the dumb one' s tongue will

84
00:06:45,959 --> 00:06:49,959
sing. It is our mission to
make present the kingdom of God, the

85
00:06:49,959 --> 00:06:56,959
mercy of God that comes, he
comes to save us and his salvation is

86
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,439
expressed in almost invisible signs. You
don' t talk about the news of

87
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,079
the little miracles. Those slow and
unknown compressions didn' t give to make

88
00:07:04,079 --> 00:07:08,560
a movie. Sometimes it doesn'
t cost. We find it difficult to

89
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,319
appreciate the miracle of a life given
in silence. Discreetly we must understand that

90
00:07:13,439 --> 00:07:17,600
a hidden life makes sense by describing
it in some way. We could say

91
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:23,759
I changed diapers. That changing diapers
is like touching God to listen to children

92
00:07:23,759 --> 00:07:29,560
a miracle to lift them every morning
and to be fierce to the usefulness of

93
00:07:30,079 --> 00:07:33,600
work is something worthy of admiration.
The daily love expressed by gestures and words

94
00:07:34,199 --> 00:07:39,319
is a work of great value,
a work of art. God becomes flesh

95
00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:45,800
in everyday life. His peace comes
to reign in hearts silently. Jesus,

96
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,879
like the disciples. Sometimes I see
the fulfillment of your will as something disproportionate

97
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:56,879
to my strength. My illusions influenced
by my selfishness and pride do not allow

98
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:01,000
me to discover what I really must
do if I want to be faithful and

99
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,000
reciprocated to your love. That is
why I ask the intercession of Mary,

100
00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:09,399
her most holy mother, so that, as she never doubts her divine providence

101
00:08:09,439 --> 00:08:13,040
and let your grace act. I
gave you the blessing that God, Father,

102
00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:16,480
accompany you in your heart. Take
care of you, make you strong,

103
00:08:16,519 --> 00:08:20,319
joyful and faithful, may God,
son, make you feel his tenderness

104
00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:24,240
and mercy. Remove from your heart
any anxiety that can make you suffer that

105
00:08:24,279 --> 00:08:28,120
God, Holy Spirit, tells you
of that intelligence out of the heart renewed

106
00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:33,639
spirit and determination to love with all
of him, that Blessed Mary make you

107
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,159
felt her mother' s color and
her embrace to Moors and tender and St

108
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,480
Joseph take care of you with his
father' s heart in the name of

109
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,200
father, son and Holy Spirit Amen
