1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:07,080
What a prayer of the heart Thursday
of the third week of Easter, Oh,

2
00:00:07,879 --> 00:00:12,400
Holy Spirit Love of the father and
son, inspire me what I must

3
00:00:12,439 --> 00:00:18,239
think, what I must say,
how I must say, what I must

4
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,640
silence, how I must act,
what I must do for the Glory of

5
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:27,679
God, well of the Souls and
my own sanctification. Holy Spirit Give me.

6
00:00:27,719 --> 00:00:33,520
Ability to understand, ability to retain
everything and faculty to learn, Subtleness

7
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:39,359
to interpret, grace and effectiveness to
speak. I am not right to begin

8
00:00:39,359 --> 00:00:45,200
direction, to progress and perfect the
end amen. Today we celebrate Saint Perfect,

9
00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:51,159
Perpitro and Martyr in Cordoba the Gospel
of Saint John, chapter six verses,

10
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:56,920
forty- four or fifty- one. At that time Jesus said to

11
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,960
the crowd. No one can come
to me if he doesn' t attract

12
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:03,359
him to ra. The father who
sent me and I will challenge him on

13
00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:10,760
the last day is written in the
prophets. They will all be disciples of

14
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,239
God. Everyone who listens to the
father and learns comes to me. It

15
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,400
is not that someone has seen the
father unless the one standing next to God

16
00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:23,560
has seen the father in truth.
Verily I say unto you, He that

17
00:01:23,599 --> 00:01:27,239
believeth in me hath everlasting life.
I am the bread of life Your fathers

18
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:32,840
ate from the desert of manna and
died. This is the bread that comes

19
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,799
down from heaven, that man may
be like him, and not die.

20
00:01:36,719 --> 00:01:40,280
I' m the living bread that
goes down the sky. Whoever eats this

21
00:01:40,519 --> 00:01:44,840
bread will live forever. And the
bread that I will give is my flesh

22
00:01:44,879 --> 00:01:52,439
for the life of the world.
It is necessary to keep in mind always,

23
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,159
that Eucharist is not something that we
do, It is not a commemoration

24
00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:01,159
of not ours of what Jesus has
said. It is not precisely an action

25
00:02:01,239 --> 00:02:05,959
of Christ. It is Christ who
acts there, who is on the altar,

26
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,680
and Christ is the Lord, he
is a gift of Christ, who

27
00:02:09,719 --> 00:02:17,599
becomes present and gathers us around in
this way to nourish us with his word

28
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:24,240
and with his life. This means
that the mission and the very identity of

29
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:29,680
the Church arise from there, from
the Eucharist, from there always take form

30
00:02:29,759 --> 00:02:35,919
a celebration can also be impeccable from
the very beautiful external point of view.

31
00:02:36,599 --> 00:02:39,759
But if it does not lead us
to the encounter with Jesus Christ, it

32
00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:45,199
risks not bringing any food into our
heart and life, through the Eucharist.

33
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,319
Instead, Christ wants to enter into
our existence and permeate it with His grace.

34
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:57,439
For what in every Christian community there
is coherence between iturg and life.

35
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,240
The heart is filled with trust and
sns, thinking of the words of Jesus

36
00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:07,080
gathered in the Gospel. Egoe my
carri and my blood comes. He has

37
00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:12,479
eternal life and I will resurrect him
on the last day. Let us live

38
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,280
the Eucharist in the spirit of faith, prayer, forgiveness, penance, community

39
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:21,840
joy, concern for the needy and
for the anxieties of so many brothers and

40
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,599
sisters, with the certainty that the
Lord will accomplish what he has promised us.

41
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:34,599
Eternal life. We hunger, hunger
for God, we need the bread

42
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,039
of eternal way. Perhaps we have
tasted other banquets and discovered that it makes

43
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:44,280
us fully to our desire. But
Christ reveals himself as the food we need,

44
00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:49,240
the only one who cannot calm our
needs and give us the strength for

45
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,039
the way. The catechism of the
Catholic Church teaches us that in Communion we

46
00:03:53,039 --> 00:03:58,639
receive the bread of heaven and the
chalice of salvation, the body and blood

47
00:03:58,639 --> 00:04:00,080
of Christ that I know was ntrended
for the life of the world said in

48
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:08,000
a very beautiful way, Saint Justin. We call in his apology, we

49
00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:12,280
call this food Christia and Nane can
take part in it. If you do

50
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,079
not believe in the truth of what
is taught among us, if you have

51
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,800
not received the bath for the forgiveness
of sins and the new birth, if

52
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:24,920
you do not live according to the
precepts of Christ, as the body is

53
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,160
sustained by food. Thus we are
in need of soul, the ocaristia,

54
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,759
that this comes down from heaven to
the altar by the priest' s hand,

55
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:39,360
comes to us and hopes that we
too will go to him, that

56
00:04:39,399 --> 00:04:40,120
we will often seek him to receive
him with the soul. Clean himself in

57
00:04:40,199 --> 00:04:45,040
sin to visit him. The tabernacle
is bread of eternal life, according to

58
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,920
its promise, that everyone who sees
the son and believes in him should have

59
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:55,720
eternal life. Whoever lives supported by
locoristia, grows progressively in union with God

60
00:04:56,199 --> 00:04:59,319
and seeing him from this world,
in this world, under the veil of

61
00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:02,560
the kind of pruning, wine,
we prepare to contemplate myself face to face

62
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:11,560
in future life. Perhaps this prayer
of Padre Pio can serve you after communion

63
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,959
that will help you to value more
the gift of the Manna Eucharist for eternal

64
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:21,439
life. It says so. Stay
with me, sir, because it is

65
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:25,279
necessary to keep you in mind so
as not to forget you. You know

66
00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:31,439
how easily I leave you. Stay
with me, sir, because I am

67
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:38,759
weak and I need your strength not
to fall so many times. Stay with

68
00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:43,160
me, sir, because you are
my life and without you diminish my fervor.

69
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,399
Stay with me, sir, to
show me your will. Stay,

70
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:55,439
sir, with me so I can
hear your voice and follow it. Stay,

71
00:05:55,519 --> 00:06:00,000
sir, with me, so that
because I want to love you very

72
00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:03,959
much and be or turn company.
Stay with me, sir, if you

73
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:09,600
want me to be faithful to you? Stay with me, sir, because

74
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,759
even if my soul is so poor, you wish to be a place of

75
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,480
rest, a nest of love.
Stay, jesus, with me, for

76
00:06:18,519 --> 00:06:23,199
it is late and the day declines, that is, it approaches death,

77
00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:28,959
the judgment of eternity. Stay with
me, I need to redouble my strength

78
00:06:29,079 --> 00:06:31,800
in order not to faint along the
way, and for this I need you.

79
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,199
It' s getting late and death
is coming. I am troubled by

80
00:06:36,199 --> 00:06:41,720
the darkness, the temptations, the
aides, the crosses, the sorrows.

81
00:06:41,879 --> 00:06:49,720
How much need I have for you, make me know you as the disciples

82
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:55,639
at the breaking of the bread,
that is, that the light that dissipates

83
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,879
in the darkness, the strength that
sustains me, and the only joy of

84
00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:01,519
my Gersa heart, may I sit
down. Stay with me, sir,

85
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,600
because when death comes. I want
to be united with You, if not

86
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:12,439
really by Holy Communion, at least
by the grace of love. Stay to

87
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,680
Jesus with me, I do not
ask you for a divine consolation, because

88
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:20,680
I do not deserve it, but
the gift of your most holy presence,

89
00:07:20,759 --> 00:07:26,079
yes, I do not ask you
to stay, Lord with me, I

90
00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:30,000
seek from you only your love,
your grace, your will, your heart,

91
00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:30,759
your spirit, because I love you
and I want no reward other than

92
00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:34,399
to love. I want a favor, a fervent and deep love. I

93
00:07:34,439 --> 00:07:39,920
want to love you with all my
heart here on earth, to continue loving

94
00:07:40,199 --> 00:07:44,160
you perfectly for all eternity. So
be it, so far. The prayer

95
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,279
of my father, Lord Jesus,
you give me the bread I need in

96
00:07:48,399 --> 00:07:54,040
order to live fully in vocation.
I really benefit from this sacrament. I

97
00:07:54,079 --> 00:07:57,800
am aware that Christias is not a
symbol that you are a living god made

98
00:07:58,759 --> 00:08:03,399
a host that I will receive within
me. I beg of you that this

99
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:09,120
meditation leads me to contemplate you in
the dearest and never allow me to be

100
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,319
made a habit, a rite or
a senseless habit. You of the blessing,

101
00:08:13,879 --> 00:08:16,040
may the goodness and mercy of God, Father, trimate the heart,

102
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,120
may the gaze of the love of
God, son, perish in your soul

103
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:22,959
and purify you from any uneasiness and
lack that can separate you from God,

104
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,240
may the love of a holy spirit
grant you capable, that you need the

105
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:31,519
tenderness of Mary, mother of God
and our mother, caress and protect you,

106
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,919
and may the strength and sencilitate of
that Joseph, our Father, Lord,

107
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,559
lead the elder and the blessing of
God, father, son and holy

108
00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:43,080
spirit saying about you and remain always
amen
