eager to give us. And again this mass that we celebrate today as the conclusion of this happy week sums up the various considerations, the graces that we have received as monks again because the object of our meditations was the philosophy of the monk. in this philosophy of one that is expressed right in the intro of this man's. Looking back at life and the mystery of time in which man lives, we say, all that you have done to us, O Lord, you have done this, done it, in the fullness of your truth, because

[01:01]

we have sinned before you, we have not been obedient to your commandments, but you give glory to your name, and just do with us, according to the multitude, the abundance of your mercies. That is one of these words which comprehend and express the mystery of human life. We also, in the epistle today, find the philosophy of the non-expressed, such a beautiful, and again in a comprehensive way, as always the word of God speaks to us whenever it speaks the whole truth, not as those who have no intentions and wisdom Let us live in this time as those who know, penetrate the true mystery of time.

[02:09]

See the wisdom of God. And what is the wisdom of God in our lives? It is to do the will of God. But then again we ask ourselves, what is this will of God? Simply a letter thrown into stone presented to us on tablets? It is more. It is alive. It's the Holy Spirit that the Father wants to share with us in and through the Lord Jesus Christ. And the fullness of this Holy Spirit, the will of God living in our hearts, what does it do? It sings. It makes us sing in psalms and hymns. and spiritual songs. We should sing songs to God in Allah. That is really what the monastic life is, the man of peace, of God's peace, in whom he puts his trust.

[03:21]

That is the man who is filled with the Holy Spirit. This fullness of the Holy Spirit is singing. And his song is the expression of that ready heart, for which we sang in the Alleluia of this man. My heart is ready, O Lord. My heart is ready. I shall sing songs to you, to you, O Lord. So this is the philosophy of God. And how could it end? In another way, then listening to that triumphance voice of the Lord of Alignment, your song lives. Your song lives. And my dear friends, that stands at the end of our life. This way is made up of many various encounters, meetings,

[04:29]

blessed moments in which we see the face of the Lord for which we are sick constantly day after day. That blessed moment terminates then in the school feels in the moment of our day. Was it not one of the most beautiful moments in this retreat? Maybe one of the most profound encounters with God, our heavenly Father, who looks and longs for the man of his peace when we celebrate together the Mass for the grace of a blessed day. The grace of a blessed day. When we heard what it is, we heard and still the words are ringing in our ears. When we live, we live

[05:30]

And when we die, we die for Christ. Why? Because Christ is the Lord over life and over death. He died in a death which was completely the expression, fulfillment of the love that he carries in our hearts and love unto the end. And he rose from this death. What else could there be? The end of a death which love dictates is the resurrection. So he died for us and he rose from us. Therefore, when we love, live, when we die, we live for him, we die. He is the Lord. of the living and of the living.

[06:32]

That is the complete answer of God our Heavenly Father to all our entire, the mystery of a human life. He comprehends it, is composed of life and of death. But if we live or if we die, we live and die for The Lord of the living and of the dead. Therefore, my dear friends, in our monastic life, we experience that every week. The monastic life is the hour to live for Christ and to die for Christ. And the death of Christ, that is the seal of the life of Christ. That is the last kiss of peace that our soul receives. Think that. Put that before your minds.

[07:33]

Think of it. You are every one of us is a prodigal son. We live far in exile as the research of our sins, of our lack, of trust, faith, and adherence to God. We live in exile. But in this are everything of Jerusalem. Here are the waters of the heart. And singing we sing of Jerusalem as we do today in the art. And that's that God of the heavenly Jerusalem. That calls us away from the world. That brings us to the monster. That is the vision we have seen. A community of which here on earth already anticipates the beauty of the heavenly Jerusalem, the vision of God's peace.

[08:39]

And so we are on our way home. And what a wonderful God had used for us to think that there is the heavenly Father waiting, waiting in this heavenly Jerusalem, looking out constantly for the way on which we come home. He knows he will be reconciled. His grace is in me. God draws us. He has sent his Son, and he is the way, and he is the way. In him we are on the way of home. And then when we come, then the last moment, when the way is on, The course is finished. Then we hear that voice, the man of my peace, for whom I have been waiting. May that be the end of our monastic life.

[09:45]

I hear many should know the old monastic custom. When the monk comes to that point where all earthly power leaves him, whether the soul refuses to work in a body that has been consumed by the cares and the sufferings of this life, then the Abbot comes as the representative of our Heavenly Father. And he then holds the cross, lifts it up, and asks the mother, do you see what I show to you? And he says, yes, I see the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. And then he says, my dear friend, and you are afraid of judgment of that divine truth which will penetrate you at the moment of death and will separate the chaff from the wheat of your knife.

[10:55]

and you are afraid of it, as you should, then take this cross, put it between the Father's sternness and your weakness. That is the case, my friends. That is the case in which, my dear friends, at this moment, in Holy Communion, the Heavenly Father kisses everyone. He gives us the body and the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. That is the Jesus. And to this peace, he says, your son lives. Dear God, thank God. So let us live our life through death into life. Sitting at the waters of God, we never forget Jerusalem. And we are waiting, longing for that encounter in which the heavenly Father will embrace his quality soul and give him that kiss of peace, which is forgiveness of all our sins, transformation into the fullness of the life of the Spirit, and in the end we sing for all eternity

[12:24]

the spiritual song of the Alleluia, as our answer in the Holy Spirit to the infinite love of the Father that has carried us through this valley of tears, the staff that has been with us, and now we are one of the communion of saints. So let us, in all gratitude, thank our Heavenly Father that He has given us this home, this honest family, this heavenly Jerusalem, and let us be one to the other the man of God's God's peace, subjecting each and intimoniously, subject to one another in Father of the Holy Spirit, Father of the Holy Spirit, [...]

[14:00]

Amen.
