Preparatory prayer<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0(to put me in the presence of God)<\/em><\/p>\n Dios, T\u00fa que conoces mi miseria y lo que necesito, ay\u00fadame a confiar en ti; aunque todo est\u00e9 en contra, ay\u00fadame a poner mi vida con todas mis heridas en tus manos, y ay\u00fadame a dejar que T\u00fa me llenes el inmenso deseo de amor que tengo.<\/p>\n Gospel of the day<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0(to guide your meditation)<\/em> En aquel tiempo, Jes\u00fas fue a Nazaret, donde se hab\u00eda criado. Entr\u00f3 en la sinagoga, como era su costumbre hacerlo los s\u00e1bados, y se levant\u00f3 para hacer la lectura. Se le dio el volumen del profeta Isa\u00edas y, lo desarroll\u00f3 y encontr\u00f3 el pasaje en que estaba escrito: El Esp\u00edritu del Se\u00f1or est\u00e1 sobre m\u00ed, porque me ha ungido para llevar a los pobres la buena nueva, para anunciar la liberaci\u00f3n a los cautivos y la curaci\u00f3n a los ciegos, para dar libertad a los oprimidos y proclamar el a\u00f1o de gracia del Se\u00f1or. Enroll\u00f3 el volumen, lo devolvi\u00f3 al encargado y se sent\u00f3. Los ojos de todos los asistentes a la sinagoga estaban fijos en \u00e9l. Entonces comenz\u00f3 a hablar, diciendo: \u201cHoy mismo se ha cumplido este pasaje de la Escritura, que ustedes acaban de o\u00edr\u201d. Todos le daban su aprobaci\u00f3n y admiraban la sabidur\u00eda de las palabras que sal\u00edan de sus labios, y se preguntaban: \u201c\u00bfNo es \u00e9ste el hijo de Jos\u00e9?\u201d. Jes\u00fas les dijo: \u201cSeguramente me dir\u00e1n aquel refr\u00e1n: \u2018M\u00e9dico, c\u00farate a ti mismo, y haz aqu\u00ed, en tu propia tierra, todos esos prodigios que hemos o\u00eddo que has hecho en Cafarna\u00fam\u2019”. Y a\u00f1adi\u00f3: \u201cYo les aseguro que nadie es profeta en su tierra. Hab\u00eda ciertamente en Israel muchas viudas en los tiempos de El\u00edas, cuando falt\u00f3 la lluvia durante tres a\u00f1os y medio, y hubo un hambre terrible en todo el pa\u00eds; sin embargo, a ninguna de ellas fue enviado El\u00edas, sino a una viuda que viv\u00eda en Sarepta, ciudad de Sid\u00f3n. Hab\u00eda muchos leprosos en Israel, en tiempos del profeta Eliseo; sin embargo, ninguno de ellos fue curado sino Naam\u00e1n, que era de Siria\u201d. Al o\u00edr esto, todos los que estaban en la sinagoga se llenaron de ira, y levant\u00e1ndose, lo sacaron de la ciudad y lo llevaron hasta una barranca del monte, sobre el que estaba construida la ciudad, para despe\u00f1arlo. Pero \u00e9l, pasando por en medio de ellos, se alej\u00f3 de all\u00ed.<\/p>\n Word of the Lord<\/em><\/p>\n Meditate on what God tells you in the Gospel<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Think about what you want most because God, who loves to see us happy as a good father, wants to give it to us because he loves us. Have you ever thought about what God wants most? What impresses me most about God's desires is that He cares so much for us, His children. If we are sad He is there to comfort us, if we feel lost or tired He helps us to free ourselves from all worries and embrace His way which is gentle and bearable, but He cannot do any of this if we do not let Him. He respects our freedom. We must open our lives to Christ so that he can work the miracles we need in our lives. His presence alone makes a lot of difference. It is very beautiful to see how people put religious images or objects of devotion in their cars, houses, electronic devices, etc., because they are not only beautiful ornaments, but they are like windows to heaven and bridges through which grace can pass. Just seeing these objects serves as a reminder of the realities that transcend us and remind us of the heaven that is our ultimate destination. And even more, they make the mystery of Christ present to us, as if He were speaking to us and saying, \u00abI am here\u00bb, \u00abI am real\u00bb.<\/p>\n Christ is a God of concrete people. In the Bible we read stories of named people whom, when they are in trouble, God knows how to help. God shows up to give his grace through human intermediaries. Just as a good meal does not make itself, but to be something rich you need a person who knows how to cook well, God presents himself to us through the people around us, we have to put on the glasses of faith to see them.<\/p>\n Let us ask the Lord to open our eyes to discover his presence and help in our lives.<\/p>\n \u00abSiempre y a todas partes, llevamos en nuestro cuerpo los sufrimientos de la muerte de Jes\u00fas, para que tambi\u00e9n la vida de Jes\u00fas se manifieste en nuestro cuerpo\u201d. Participamos con Jes\u00fas de su pasi\u00f3n, nuestra pasi\u00f3n, para vivir tambi\u00e9n con \u00c9l la fuerza de la resurrecci\u00f3n: certeza del amor de Dios capaz de movilizar las entra\u00f1as y salir al cruce de los caminos para compartir \u201cla Buena Noticia con los pobres, para anunciar la liberaci\u00f3n a los cautivos y la vista a los ciegos, para dar la libertad a los oprimidos y proclamar un a\u00f1o de gracia del Se\u00f1or\u201d, con la alegr\u00eda de que todos ellos pueden participar activamente con su dignidad de hijos del Dios vivo. Todas estas cosas que pens\u00e9 y sent\u00ed durante este tiempo de pandemia quiero compartirlas fraternalmente con ustedes para ayudarnos en el camino de la alabanza al Se\u00f1or y del servicio a los hermanos. Deseo que a todos nos sirvan para \u201cm\u00e1s”\u00bb.<\/em> Dialogue with Christ<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n This is the most important part of your prayer, prepare yourself to talk with much love with the One who loves you.<\/em><\/p>\n Purpose<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Propose a personal one.
