"Para mí, la oración es el impulso del corazón,
una simple mirada dirigida al cielo"
Santa Teresita.
Dios, la vida, historias, el mundo y yo...

Evangelio explicado
Mt 10, 39.
Perder o ganar la vida.
Quien halla su vida, la perderá; y quien pierde su vida por Mí, la hallará.
Comentario:
Querer disfrutar la vida según el mundo, es perderla según Cristo, porque no se puede servir a Dios y al Mundo, y entonces quien quiera pasarla bien en este mundo, perderá la Vida eterna.
En cambio quien en este mundo se sacrifique y viva cumpliendo los Diez Mandamientos y las enseñanzas de Jesús, seguramente “perderá” la vida de la tierra, es decir, aparentemente la perderá, pero en realidad estará ganando la Vida eterna.
No hay términos medios, hay que elegir, porque el Mundo y Cristo son opuestos, y no hay territorios neutrales entre ambos, pues o se está con Cristo o se está con el Mundo.
Hoy el Mundo tiene muchos atractivos y es muy seductor, de modo que no son pocos quienes van por el camino ancho y espacioso que no lleva al Cielo, a la Vida, sino al abismo infernal.
Ojalá nosotros pensemos un poco en cómo estamos respondiendo al Señor, si estamos dando la vida por Él, si estamos “desaprovechando” la vida según los criterios del mundo, pero para conservarla para la eternidad.

Teaching the Gospel
Act pleasing to God.
Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you, depart from me, you evildoers ! '. (Mt 7: 22-23).
Teaching:
With these words the Lord wants us to realize that not enough miracles and cast out demons to save, but you have to fulfill the will of God, the Ten Commandments, because too many priests do great miracles, as we celebrate the Mass, are performing the exorcism and transubstanciando more bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus.No miracles greater than these! And yet, it is a sad truth that the end of the world, on the Day of Judgment, many priests will be expelled into the outer darkness, because they were, with a pious and holy life, to live up to its mission and betrayed Christ, even though they have worked miracles. These priests also prophesied in the name of Jesus, because when they talk in the homily, are proclaiming Christ, and that's prophesy. But not a few priests will be judged very harshly because by their bad example dragged many into perdition.
This is also for the laity, sometimes we talk a lot about God and the things of God, but in practice do not deliver what we say we believe.
So this says the Lord for all Catholics, and even non-Catholics, Christians of other faiths, who do not always act according to the commandments.
The important thing is to keep the Ten Commandments and the teachings of Jesus in the Gospel. If moreover do miracles or wonders, and evangelizing preaching the Lord, so be it. But first and what will save us is to do the will of God.

Microsection REDEMPTION
LIFE, PASSION, DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF OUR LORD JESUS
Life of Jesus:
In the beginning of the life of a human being is first to form the heart. Also Our Lord in the womb of Mary Most Holy, started as barely beating Corazoncito. And beat with love for men, for all men, whom He came to save from the clutches of Satan.
The whole life of Jesus was a revelation of His Sacred Heart, that is, of his love, because the heart is the seat of love, and the Heart of Jesus is the center of God's love.
Blessed Jesus who in life could, as San Juan Evangelista, lay his head on the chest of the Lord, and hear the melodious beats of love that most loving Heart!
But blessed are we who live in this time, because we have at our disposal the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus present in the consecrated hosts in the tabernacles of the churches, and we receive in Holy Communion.
God gives us his heart in communion. What more could the Lord for us? Do we take advantage this Don, going to Communion as often as we can, and visiting Jesus in the tabernacles of the churches?
PASSION OF JESUS:
If all members of Jesus suffered in his passion, we can say without a doubt, it was his sacred heart the body that suffered, not only by the huge effort, but moral weight, sadness, betrayal, heartbreak.
Poor Heart of Jesus! Do we think a bit about what has suffered the most loving Heart, who wanted us to save all men, but they also knew that for many, many men, the sacrifice would be useless?
Tremendous is going to meet the pain and most atrocious death, knowing it would be useless for much of humanity.
Consolemos this Heart and let us enter into the mystery of pain and love of God for men.
DEATH OF JESUS:
God made everything. Jesus gave to the last drop of blood on the cross. Because the death of the Lord, a soldier pierced his side, opening a wound in the Heart of Jesus, from which sprang the last blood, thereby implying that God has not saved anything for him, but in his Son has given all men.
That wound of the Heart of Jesus, has been open for our good, because through it, men now have access to God's love. The wound of the Heart of Christ is the door of Heaven, is the entrance to divinity, because since that Sacred Heart was opened by a lance, now man, if he wants, can become God, certainly not by nature, but by participation.
And think of Mary, the pain caused to her Immaculate Heart, to see the Heart of your Son opened by the lance.
RESURRECTION OF JESUS:
When Jesus rose, wanted to preserve their sacred wounds, for men to go to them to find all the graces we need to either pass the test of life on earth. But there are few who repaired it, the Lord has wanted to keep the wound in his side, that is, it has left open the Sacred Heart, now full of light and gifts, that we take refuge in Him
If we want to live and now Paradise on earth, we have only to take refuge in the glorious and risen Heart of Jesus, whose front door was opened by the spear of Longinus.
That Heart resurrected once we receive each commune, because Communion is the very Heart of Jesus given to us as food.
And here we return to the beginning, because Christ be formed in us, and Christ begins to form the heart, as it did in the womb of Mary. So often comulguemos for Christ to engender in us and we become other Christs.

La paz...
Como un río de paz
I. El pueblo elegido sabía perfectamente la existencia de un único Dios, verdad conocida por la luz natural de la razón. Sin embargo, al ponerse en contacto con naciones paganas, -cuyo poder, riqueza y cultura, muy superior a las de ellos-, les atraía y deslumbraban sus ídolos, lo cuál era para ellos una tentación constante, y una causa frecuente de su alejamiento del Dios verdadero, el que les sacó de la tierra de Egipto.
Muchos hombres civilizados de nuestros días, nuevos paganos, levantan ídolos mejor construidos y más refinados que se presentan bajo capa de "progreso" o que proporcionan más material bienestar, más placer, más comodidad... con un completo olvido de su ser espiritual y de su salvación eterna: su Dios es el vientre, y su gloria la propia vergüenza, pues ponen en corazón en las cosas terrenas (San Pablo, Carta a los Filipenses). Es la idolatría moderna, a la que se ven tentados también muchos cristianos, olvidando el inmenso tesoro de su fe, la riqueza del amor a Dios.
II. Son muchas las razones que nos mueven a amar a Dios: nos sacó de la nada y Él mismo nos gobierna, nos facilita las cosas necesarias para la vida y el sustento... (CATECISMO ROMANO, III, 2, n.6); nos elevó al orden de la gracia al redimirnos del poder del pecado por la Muerte y Pasión de su Hijo Unigénito, nos dio la dignidad de ser hijos suyos y templos del Espíritu Santo.
Se falta al amor a Dios cuando no se le da el culto debido, cuando no se ora o se ora mal, en las dudas voluntarias contra la fe, la lectura de libros o revistas que atentan a la fe o a la moral, al dar crédito de supersticiones o doctrinas -que se presentan como científicas- que se oponen a la fe, ambas fruto de la ignorancia; al exponerse –o exponer a los hijos, a aquellas personas que tenemos a nuestro cuidado- a influencias dañinas para la fe o la moral; al desconfiar de Dios, de su poder o de su bondad. Nosotros queremos tener puesto el corazón en el Señor y en las personas y en las tareas que realizamos por Él y con Él.
III. El amor a Dios abarca todos los aspectos de la vida del hombre y tiene muchas manifestaciones: si le damos el culto que le es debido, a través de nuestro trabajo bien hecho, del cumplimiento fiel de nuestros deberes en la familia, en la empresa, en la sociedad; con nuestra mente, con el corazón, con el porte exterior, propio de un hijo de Dios. El amor a Dios, y el verdadero amor al prójimo, se alimenta en la oración y en los sacramentos, en la lucha por superar nuestros defectos, en mantenernos en Su presencia a lo largo del día. Pensemos en qué tenemos el corazón a lo largo del día.
