\nChrist, our King, Thy Kingdom come!<\/p>\n
Preparatory prayer\u00a0<\/strong>(to put me in the presence of God)<\/em> You have heard it said to the ancients:\u00a0Thou shalt not kill, and whosoever killeth shall be brought before the court.<\/em>. Pero yo les digo: Todo el que se enoje con su hermano, ser\u00e1 llevado tambi\u00e9n ante el tribunal; el que insulte a su hermano, ser\u00e1 llevado ante el tribunal supremo, y el que lo desprecie, ser\u00e1 llevado al fuego del lugar de castigo.<\/p>\n If, therefore, when you are about to place your offering on the altar, you remember right there that your brother has a complaint against you, leave your offering by the altar and go first to be reconciled with your brother, and then return to present your offering.<\/p>\n Make up quickly with your adversary, as you go with him on the road; lest he turn you over to the judge, the judge to the policeman, and you be thrown into prison. I assure you that you will not get out of there until you have paid the last penny.<\/p>\n Word of the Lord.<\/p>\n Meditate on what God tells you in the Gospel<\/strong><\/p>\n No es suficiente no matar f\u00edsicamente, porque en nuestro interior tambi\u00e9n podemos \u00abmatar\u00bb a los dem\u00e1s. En nuestras relaciones nos encontramos con gente que no nos cae bien, con la que no nos llevamos, y el hecho de que nos lleguemos a hacerles alg\u00fan mal no es la actitud cristiana que nos pide el Se\u00f1or. M\u00e1s all\u00e1 de un mero cumplimiento de los mandamientos por el miedo de no ir al infierno, debemos seguir las huellas de Jes\u00fas el cual era una persona que lleg\u00f3 a amar a sus enemigos, pero para llegar a esto claramente no lo podemos hacer solos, necesitamos de la fuerza del Esp\u00edritu Santo, por eso pid\u00e1mosle a \u00c9l, en esta Cuaresma, que nos ayude a encontrar la forma de amar y perdonar.<\/p>\n El cumplimiento exterior de las cosas que hacemos por ser cristianos, dejando de lado la actitud y lo que conlleva el amar a Dios en concreto (que es al amor al pr\u00f3jimo), se queda como un vaso de agua sin agua.\u00a0 Imaginemos que Dios nos pide este vaso con agua, que lo podemos hacer sin ning\u00fan problema, pero si nos falta el agua que es esencial, nuestro acto pierde sentido. Es as\u00ed en nuestra vida. Por ejemplo, el ir a misa todos los domingos. Si esto no nos lleva a ayudar en la casa, hacerle alg\u00fan favor a alguien que lo necesite, ayudar a la gente de la calle, etc., se queda como algo meramente de cumplimiento y no por amor a Dios que nos lleva a amarlo con la iglesia y en el mundo.<\/p>\n \u00ab<\/strong>Acogiendo la Ley de Dios en nuestros corazones entendemos que, cuando no amamos a nuestro pr\u00f3jimo, nos matamos de alguna manera a nosotros mismos y a los dem\u00e1s, porque el odio, la rivalidad y la divisi\u00f3n matan la caridad fraternal, que es la base de las relaciones interpersonales. Y esto se aplica a lo que he dicho sobre las guerras y tambi\u00e9n a las habladur\u00edas, porque el lenguaje mata. Aceptando la Ley de Dios en el coraz\u00f3n se entiende que los deseos deben ser guiados, porque no se puede tener todo lo que uno desea, y no es bueno ceder a sentimientos ego\u00edstas y posesivos\u00bb (SS Francisco, \u00c1ngelus 16 de febrero de 2020)<\/p>\n Dialogue with Christ<\/strong> Purpose<\/strong> Farewell<\/strong> Christ, our King!

\nGospel of the day\u00a0<\/strong>(to guide your meditation)<\/em>
\nFrom the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew 5, 20-26
\nAt that time, Jesus said to his disciples: \u201cTruly I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.<\/p>\n
\nThis is the most important part of your prayer, prepare yourself to talk with much love with the One who loves you.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nPropose 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>
\nBuscar a una persona que no haya perdonado y pidi\u00e9ndole al Se\u00f1or la gracia, perdonarlo.<\/p>\n
\nWe thank You, Lord, for all Your benefits, You who live and reign forever and ever.
\nAmen.<\/p>\n
\nThy Kingdom come!<\/p>\n
\nPray for us.<\/p>\n
