1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:07,320
What a prayer of heart wednesday of
the seventeenth week of ordinary time. Come

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:13,039
Holy Spirit, so that I may
find wisdom in the midst of my limits,

3
00:00:13,199 --> 00:00:17,719
discomfort and weariness, for the sun
that sets is as beautiful When I

4
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:24,839
am healthy as when I am sick. Help me to appreciate the beauty of

5
00:00:24,879 --> 00:00:29,760
things beyond my moods. Help me
enjoy what you give me in the middle

6
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:34,520
of my troubles. Come Holy Spirit, teach me to live, because many

7
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,479
times I can only look at what
worries me, what I lack, what

8
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:45,000
I dislike, as if there was
nothing more than that. Today we celebrate

9
00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:50,960
St Ignatius of Loyola, founder of
the Jesuits, the Gospel of St Matthew,

10
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:56,479
chapter three and verses forty- four
to forty- six. At that

11
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,359
time Jesus said to the people.
The Kingdom of Heaven resembles a treasure hidden

12
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:04,640
in the field. Whoever finds it, hides it again and full of joy,

13
00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:10,159
will sell everything he has and fulfills
the field. The Kingdom of Heaven

14
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,359
also resembles a merchant in fine bitches
who, finding one of great value,

15
00:01:14,599 --> 00:01:22,640
will sell everything he has and buy
it? The Kingdom of Heaven also resembles

16
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:29,400
a merchant of fine bitches who found
great value, as I said, will

17
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:36,799
sell everything the purchase has. Pope
Benedict sixteen commented, showing himself what the

18
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,200
treasure of the Christian is. It
is important that they be created. He

19
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:46,439
said that favorable conditions are believed in
the Church so that they can flourish so

20
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,840
much if it is in generous response
the call of God' s love.

21
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,719
A central element must be the love
of the word of God through a growing

22
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:02,319
familiarity with sagra writing, a person
prayer and as an attentive and constant community,

23
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,079
in order to be able to feel
the divine call in the midst of

24
00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:10,680
so many voices that fills daily life, but above all, that eucharistia at

25
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:15,240
the vital center of every vocational path. It is here that God' s

26
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,520
love touches us in the sacrifice of
Christ, the perfect expression of love,

27
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,840
and it is here that we learn
time and time again to live the great

28
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:29,319
measure of God' s love.
The great measure of God' s love,

29
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:38,759
word, prayer and Eucharist are the
precious treasure to understand the beauty of

30
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:43,479
a fully spent life. To the
Kingdom. So far, Pope Benedict'

31
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,479
s pat, it has always seemed
to me the most normal thing for a

32
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,719
man to do everything within his power
to get them, for the dog or

33
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,000
the most valuable treasure in the world. That' s what he did.

34
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:59,759
Chalice had no work and economic problems
were beginning to give up more and more

35
00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:04,840
his family. One night he dreamed
that under the bridge that united the city

36
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:07,159
with the rest of the valley,
there was a treasure. At dawn he

37
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:12,240
got up, went to the bridge
and began to finish the police saw him

38
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,039
digging and ran away all his intentions. Poor Chalice, after an attempt to

39
00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:27,680
avoid a sincere answer look I dreamt
that under the bridge there was a treasure

40
00:03:27,759 --> 00:03:31,479
and so I came here. One
of the cops with irony answered him.

41
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:38,599
How can you believe this? I
also dreamed that under my house, one

42
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,479
of a Chalice had a hidden treasure. You think I' d believe it.

43
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:50,080
Chalice fell, returned to his house, dug and found the treasure.

44
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:53,199
The problem is not to seek the
treasure, but to know where the treasures

45
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:59,400
that God has prepared for our life
and what your treasures are. You consider

46
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,360
your marriage life and your children to
be real treasures. Or you don'

47
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:08,400
t realize the gift God has given
you, because you only feel the tiredness

48
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:12,960
and sweat that you produce to remove
the earth to enjoy them. You have

49
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,040
ever experienced the value of Holy Mass
and confession, or the laziness of rising

50
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:23,639
up a few minutes before Sunday has
hidden it from you. They' ve

51
00:04:23,639 --> 00:04:27,399
hidden it, because if you really
encourage them, your heart will be there.

52
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,040
Where we put our hearts, we
turn that into treasure. The bad

53
00:04:31,079 --> 00:04:35,040
news is that it is not always
the right place and we let the heart

54
00:04:35,079 --> 00:04:41,680
be filled with treasurers who only take
peace away from us because they are material

55
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:45,199
and are spent and produce disaction and
failure. But it is the question of

56
00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:50,680
freedom not to let ourselves be possessed
that is material and not rather our masters,

57
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:56,560
because material wealth can occupy the heart
and generate a growing desire to have

58
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,160
more of an authentic dependence. On
the contrary, the sordid one that the

59
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:05,399
Lord speaks the gospel to us and
that we must get it by selling everything

60
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:08,879
is the one that is really worth
it, because it does not separate it

61
00:05:08,879 --> 00:05:15,319
from God. Every Christian personally and
the entire community of believers can experience true

62
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:23,160
freedom by sharing material and spiritual goods
with those who are most or most in

63
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:28,240
need. This is the Christian way
of life that testifies to the true trust

64
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:34,800
of the parents solid for the civication
of love, for where there is theuro

65
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:40,560
bustro, your heart will be there. It is very careless what suggests that

66
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:44,879
Ara Rubick, founder of the movement
of the eyepieces, or the work of

67
00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:49,439
Mary, to free us from slavery, to have said why you did so

68
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:56,160
much Jesus in that we disengage ourselves
from goods until it becomes an indispensable condition

69
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,519
to be able to follow him,
because the first wealth is of our existence,

70
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,839
the true treasure that he wants us
free with the soul clean of any

71
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,680
attachment and any concern for himself to
be able to truly love with all the

72
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,959
heart, the mind and the forces. He asks us to renounce possessions,

73
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,800
because he wants us to open ourselves
to others. The easiest way to give

74
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:26,399
up, to give up is to
give to God by loving him and to

75
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,279
show that love Let us love our
brothers and sisters willing to play everything for

76
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:35,079
them. Although it may seem to
us that we do not have much wealth

77
00:06:35,079 --> 00:06:39,800
to put in common. We have
affection in our hearts to give cordiality,

78
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:46,240
to externalize, joy, to communicate, we have time to put prayers,

79
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,160
inner riches to exposure and sometimes we
have things books clothes, vehicles, money.

80
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,399
We must not reason too much.
It' s just that I may

81
00:06:55,519 --> 00:07:00,360
need it on this or that occasion. Everything can be useful. But in

82
00:07:00,439 --> 00:07:04,040
the meantime, if we heed your
thoughts, many friends will infiltrate your heart

83
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:11,480
and become more and more and more
demanding. Let' s not try to

84
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,959
have just what we need. Let
us not lose God by keeping money or

85
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:23,560
something else that we cannot pre-
empt. Put your heart into what'

86
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,360
s really worth. Family, children, wife, husband, parents, but

87
00:07:28,439 --> 00:07:33,279
above all in God. I take
advantage, before finishing that meditation that we

88
00:07:33,279 --> 00:07:39,560
celebrate today, of Saint Ignatius of
Loyola to give you a prayer of his

89
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:45,360
that can help you. Do you
say yes, sir, do you know

90
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:46,879
me? Lord you Me, you
know better than I know myself your spirit

91
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:55,000
soaks all the moments of my life. Thank you for your grace and for

92
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,519
your love. What a spill on
me. Thank you for your constant and

93
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,720
gentle invi tand to let you into
my life. Forgive me for the times

94
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:09,560
I' ve used another invitation and
closed myself away from your love. Help

95
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,319
me that in this coming day I
may recognize your presence in my life that

96
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,439
I may open myself to you,
that you may work in me, to

97
00:08:18,439 --> 00:08:22,560
your greatest glory. Amen from the
blessing, that the goodness of the mercy

98
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,319
of God the Father has the heart, that the gaze of God, of

99
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,160
the love of God the Son,
penetrates into your soul and purifies you from

100
00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:33,960
any want that can separate you from
God, the love of God the holy

101
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:39,360
spirit, grants you the peace that
you need and that the cell of Mary,

102
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:45,559
mother of God and our mother caresses
and protects you, and that the

103
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,320
strength and sense of that gospel does
not answer. The Lord led you to

104
00:08:48,279 --> 00:08:52,440
heaven the blessing of God, father, son and holy spirit, descend upon

105
00:08:52,519 --> 00:08:54,879
you and abide always amen
