Preparatory prayer<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0(to put me in the presence of God)<\/em><\/p>\n Se\u00f1or, que aprenda a ser luz en medio del mundo.<\/p>\n Gospel of the day<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0(to guide your meditation)<\/em> At that time Jesus said to the crowd: \u201cNo one lights a candle and covers it with a vessel or hides it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light. For there is nothing hidden that will not be discovered, nothing secret that will not be known or made public. See then if you are understanding correctly, for to him who has will more be given; but from him who does not have will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.\u201d.<\/p>\n Word of the Lord<\/em><\/p>\n Meditate on what God tells you in the Gospel<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Hoy, Jes\u00fas nos propone encender nuestros corazones para que podamos ser candeleros que iluminen el camino de tantas almas que se encuentran a nuestro alrededor, buscando el camino correcto en medio de la oscuridad, en medio de las tinieblas que en ocasiones el pecado se encarga poner delante de ellos. Nosotros, por la gracia recibida mediante los sacramentos y la oraci\u00f3n, nos convertimos en verdaderas antorchas que iluminan el camino para llegar al cielo.<\/p>\n Cristo quiere que nuestra vida no sea est\u00e9ril, sino que dejemos huella, que nos desgastemos por su reino, que demos todo lo que est\u00e9 a nuestro alcance, que seamos verdaderos ap\u00f3stoles de la luz, que podamos ser como Mar\u00eda, d\u00f3ciles instrumentos en las manos de Se\u00f1or, que nos dejemos moldear seg\u00fan su querer, que nuestro coraz\u00f3n sea cada vez m\u00e1s parecido al de \u00c9l.<\/p>\n Pidamos con las palabras de nuestra Madre del cielo h\u00e1gase en m\u00ed seg\u00fan tu palabra que nuestra vida sea testimonio del amor misericordioso de Dios.<\/p>\n \u00abJuntos deseamos encender hoy una llama de esperanza. Que las l\u00e1mparas que colocaremos sean signo de una luz que aun brilla en la noche. Los cristianos, de hecho, son luz del mundo, pero no solo cuando todo a su alrededor es radiante, sino tambi\u00e9n cuando, en los momentos oscuros de la historia, no se resignan a las tinieblas que todo lo envuelven y alimentan la mecha de la esperanza con el aceite de la oraci\u00f3n y del amor. Porque, cuando se tienden las manos hacia el cielo en oraci\u00f3n y se da la mano al hermano sin buscar el propio inter\u00e9s, arde y resplandece el fuego del Esp\u00edritu, Esp\u00edritu de unidad, Esp\u00edritu de paz\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. The one that involves the most love in response to the Beloved... or, if you believe that this is what God is asking of you, live what is suggested below.<\/em><\/p>\n Hoy ofrecer\u00e9 alg\u00fan sacrificio por las personas que me pidieron oraciones.<\/p>\n Farewell<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Christ, our King!
