Preparatory prayer\u00a0<\/strong>(to put me in the presence of God)<\/em> Gospel of the day\u00a0<\/strong>(to guide your meditation)<\/em> Meditate on what God tells you in the Gospel<\/strong> Adem\u00e1s, si es verdad en la vida terrena, \u00bfcu\u00e1nto m\u00e1s lo ser\u00e1 para la vida espiritual? En el alma los cimientos son las palabras que Cristo nos ha dejado. Por eso tenemos que leer con frecuencia el Evangelio, que es en donde se recogen todas las palabras del Se\u00f1or. En \u00e9l encontraremos las fuerzas necesarias para ser fieles y tener una casa espiritual bien fundada en Cristo. El verdadero amor es concreto, est\u00e1 en las obras, es un amor constante. No es un sencillo entusiasmo. Tambi\u00e9n, muchas veces, es un amor doloroso: pensemos en el amor de Jes\u00fas llevando la cruz. Pero las obras de amor son las que Jes\u00fas nos ense\u00f1a en el pasaje del cap\u00edtulo 25 de san Mateo. Quien ama hace esto, el protocolo del juicio: Estaba hambriento y me han dado de comer, etc. Las bienaventuranzas, que son el\u00a0programa pastoral<\/em>\u00a0de Jes\u00fas, son concretas.\u00a0(Cf Homil\u00eda de S.S. Francisco, 7 de mayo de 2015, en Santa Marta).<\/em><\/p>\n \u00abPor desgracia, se sabe que la familia, especialmente en Occidente, est\u00e1 considerada como una instituci\u00f3n superada. Frente a la estabilidad de un proyecto definitivo, hoy se prefieren v\u00ednculos fugaces. Pero una casa construida sobre la arena de los v\u00ednculos fr\u00e1giles e inconstantes no se mantiene en pie. Se necesita m\u00e1s bien la roca, sobre la que se establecen cimientos s\u00f3lidos. Y la roca es precisamente esa comuni\u00f3n de amor, fiel e indisoluble, que une al hombre y a la mujer, una comuni\u00f3n que tiene una belleza austera y sencilla, un car\u00e1cter sagrado e inviolable y una funci\u00f3n natural en el orden social.\u00bb Dialogue with Christ<\/strong> Purpose<\/strong> Pay special attention to the signs of God's love on this day.<\/p>\n Farewell<\/strong><\/p>\n We thank You, Lord, for all Your benefits, You who live and reign forever and ever. Christ, our King! Most prudent Virgin, Mary, Mother of the Church. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

\nSe\u00f1or, ay\u00fadame a cumplir hoy tu voluntad<\/p>\n
\nLectura del santo evangelio seg\u00fan san Mateo 7,21-29:
\nEn aquel tiempo, dijo Jes\u00fas a sus disc\u00edpulos: \u00abNo todo el que me dice “Se\u00f1or, Se\u00f1or” entrar\u00e1 en el reino de cielos, sino el que cumple la voluntad de mi Padre que est\u00e1 en el cielo. Aquel d\u00eda muchos dir\u00e1n: “Se\u00f1or, Se\u00f1or, \u00bfno hemos profetizado en tu nombre, y en tu nombre echado demonios, y no hemos hecho en tu nombre muchos milagros?” Yo entonces les declarar\u00e9: ‘Nunca os he conocido. Alejaos de m\u00ed, malvados.” El que escucha estas palabras m\u00edas y las pone en pr\u00e1ctica se parece a aquel hombre prudente que edific\u00f3 su casa sobre roca. Cay\u00f3 la lluvia salieron los r\u00edos, soplaron los vientos y descargaron contra la casa; pero no se hundi\u00f3, porque estaba cimentada sobre roca. El que escucha estas palabras m\u00edas y no las pone en pr\u00e1ctica se parece a aquel hombre necio que edific\u00f3 su casa sobre arena. Cay\u00f3 la lluvia, se salieron los r\u00edos, soplaron los vientos y rompieron contra la casa, y se hundi\u00f3 totalmente.\u00bb
\nAl terminar Jes\u00fas este discurso, la gente estaba admirada de su ense\u00f1anza, porque les ense\u00f1aba con autoridad, y no como los escribas.
\nWord of the Lord<\/p>\n
\nOur Lord knew something of architecture, because if someone tries to build on firm rock, he will have his house well solid in the days of tempest, and if a person wants to build on sand it will not last his dwelling standing.<\/p>\n
\nAs\u00ed busquemos vivir siempre con el Evangelio en la mano para cimentar bien nuestra vida y vivir fieles a Dios, siendo as\u00ed ejemplo para todos nuestros hermanos.<\/p>\n
\n(Discurso SS Francisco, 8 de enero de 2018)<\/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><\/p>\n
\nAmen.<\/p>\n
\nThy Kingdom come!<\/p>\n
\nPray for us.<\/p>\n
