Prayer of the heart Holy Monday, the solemnity of the announcement that he played
today is transferred to Monday, April 8. It is You, sir,
who suffered death for me to go? How can I rejoice in my freedom
if I owe it to your bonds? It is You, sir, who
has suffered death for me to live? How can I rejoice in my salvation
if I have loved her for your suffering? It is You, sir,
who has suffered death for me to live? Lord, have you suffered for
what have you wanted for love and mercy? It is you, sir,
who has suffered death for me to live? The emagelium of St John,
chapter twelve verses one to eleven. Six days before the Passover, it was
Jesus who knew where Lazarus lived, whom he had raised from the dead.
There he was offered a martha dinner being and Lazarus was one of those with
him. On the table. Mary took a pound of perfume from him real
and expensive nard. He took Jesus' feet and rinsed them with his hair
and the house was filled with the fragrance of perfume. Judas Iscariot, one
of the disciples who read to give, says why this perfume has not been
sold by holding scenarios to give it to the poor. He said this,
not because he was imposed on the poor and the poor, but because he
was the thief and because he had the bag, he took away what he
was throwing out and Jesus said let her have it kept for the day of
my burial, for the poor will always have it with you, but you
will not always have me a crowd of Jews. He learned that Jesus was
there and they went not only for Jesus, but also to see Lazarus,
whom there was published within the dead. We are not priests, they also
asked to kill Lazarus, because many Jews, for his sake, left and
believed in Jesus. Give me, my lord, the wisdom and strength of
will to know how to put you in the best time of this day to
prayer. I know you' ll come to the meeting to transform me.
Thank you for your kindness and mercy, Lord, do not blind me like
judas. You are the best of my life Give me a heart open to
your grace and a generous soul that knows how to correspond to your infinite love.
He came to his own and his own did not receive him. Mary
' s act contrasts with Mary' s act, contrasts with the attitude and
words of Judas, who, under the pretext of helping the poor, conceals
the selfishness and falsehood of man closed in himself, chained by the village of
possession, who does not allow himself to return to polebuen his perfume of divine
love. Judas calculates where it cannot be calculated, he enters with a petty
spirit into the space reserved for love of the gift will make such a surrender
and Jesus, who until that time had remained silent. It intervenes in favor
of Mary' s gesture Let her keep it for the day of my burial
Jesus understands that Mary has intuited the love of God and indicates that her hour
is approaching, the hour in which love will find the supreme expression on the
stake of the Cross, the son of God gives himself so that man may
have life. It descends into the abysses of death to bring man to the
heights of God. He is not afraid to humble himself by making death obedient
and has not died of St Augustine' s Cross. In the sermon in
which he comments this Gospel passage he addresses to each one of us with pressing
words the invitation to enter this circuit of love, imitating Mary' s little
gesture and placing us concretely in the follow- up of Jesus. Esivesn Augustine.
All my soul, all my soul that wants to be faithful, one
Mary for a turning with precious perfume the ends of Lord Ja the feet of
Jesus. Follow the Lord' s footsteps leading a dignified life. I know
that the feet of the one with the hair, if you have super fuas
things to give to the poor and you have washed away the Lord' s
feet and the house is filled with the smell of perfume. Mary' s
act of love for the Master was the true aroma that filled the house that
day. This is whether it will be one of the great paradoxes of the
gospel. There is more happiness in giving than receiving. The evangelist emphasizes that
perfume was of great value. Some consider it an exaggeration, a waste,
a waste, and yet we realize that it is not an exclusive way of
thinking of those times, but that something extends to our day, forgiveness is
interpreted as weakness, generosity, as madness, service to others as humiliation.
And it is that the subway with which these acts are judged remains selfishness and
not the honor that we are given by having the opportunity of the glory of
God and loving others. To be able to turn to others is a true
honor, for Christ always fulfills the promise he made to those who turned his
teachings one hundredfold in this life and eternal life in heaven. Loving God and
others I told us a price to give some comfort, to let another be
preferred to me to give up my time, but at the same time it
gives us the greatest happiness of man. We are not afraid to ennoble our
life with the perfume of Love Jesus. This Easter is an excellent opportunity to
spend more time looking at others. Give me your light to undertake a ferment
work in my own family and in my own environment, to live a more
dynamic, more passionate Christianity that does not look at effort or sacrifice. Give
me the generosity of Mary who always chose the best part. Do the purpose
this Holy Week of meditating on the space and meditating on the passion of the
Lord I am the blessing, God, merciful father, God, merciful father,
who left us the witness of his love and the passion of his son,
only begotten give you the admirabledor of his blessing for the service of God
and men. And since you believe that death and that, for the temporary
love of his son, you were delivered from eternal death or from the reward
of future life and following his examples of truthfulness is to share in his resurrection
and the blessing of God almighty father, son, and holy spirit descend upon
you and remain always amen
