and we are playing with them. These are also some days of the ecclesiastical year. They are faced with the mystery of the kingdom of God. The words that they always sing is this beautiful melody at the beginning of a song. The Lord says, I have been brought of peace. They are like the rainbow black shirt, its visible reddish garments, expressing everything as a single, deep, eternal peace that in his kingdom the Father wants to share with his children. But if we look at it and take the three Gospels that we read in these large books of it, then we can see that these thoughts of a people are not of a peace that the world can do, but they are the thoughts of a people that only are walking as far as possible and gives us best peace through its suffering, through its death, and through its progression.
[01:20]
Yes, the last week, the gospel accompanied us from day to day. The gospel that speaks of the waiting storm of the lake of Galilee and the little folks from the apostles threatened by the way in danger and then determined to the keys, the Father's keys, the Lord sleeps in the book, and asking him, turning to him and asking him, saying, because we are in deadly hell. And then today, this prospering week, this morning, here this morning, may the kingdom of God is presented to us as the fields of steel. They are called the weeds, and they are the weeds.
[02:25]
And as the nations of the serpents may say of how to get rid of these sorrows, these weeds, that the enemy has sown in between in all its foreign crops. But they are punished not to do so. And then, finally, the next coming Sunday, there will be the gospel about the kingdom of heaven as like a gospel. See, Aaron has died dead, and the Lamb of God develops in a beating to a victory. Aaron's The little piece of lemon in an invisible blade rips in the whole dough, and before we know it, the entire dough is inclementation. So it seems to me that in this green and dark, lovely picture of the Kingdom of Heaven, Three, let's say, ways are expressed to us in which the thoughts of those people, each of those people's words, the one is, occurs a situation of external danger, hell of pain, and a catastrophe.
[03:48]
And then truly and truly, the Lord sleeps. Wake me up in prayer, Lord, in the quiet. That is, we say, that is an act of faith. Faith answers the danger that comes to us from the outside. And the danger itself wakes up faith in us. And so we cry for him. to the wall is right there in the book, as copies. And that certainly is a picture of our own movement. Another individual soul. We are not a man's ocean pilot that goes peacefully and majestically to the sliding waves, but we are working, school, And the world is not always a small city.
[04:54]
But the world right now exists in a strange way. When testing, it's instability can cause great fear that it ever ends. So there we are. But what do we do? We are alone. and we are born interiorly working. And when these dangers, when the waves are rising high, then the end of peace no doubt seems to be threatened, destroyed, and swallowed up. Then we turn to the Lord who is sleeping, sleeping in our midst, in communing the heart of everyone, turning to him and returning into his peace, and then shattering the powers of his resurrection into our own life.
[05:55]
And that is today's thought. And there we find the wheat and the corn. And again, that's past. The super media is so weird to us. In every community now, there is this situation. And again, it is not a thought by which God would try to destroy us, but the thought of God's people. And the thought of God's peace, which is behind the picture of the weeds and of wheat, is patient. But not the patience that is simply a patience of respiration, but a creative patience, the patience of love, the patience which is so beautifully described in today's history, vaguer than one.
[07:01]
There are a lot of numbers. Forgive one. Forgive one another with that forgiveness with which Christ has forgiven you. That is to gain in love. And that is the way in which then you reach worlds of love. This was Adam's kid. And then again we have that group. must see the reality of the peace of the dead. Then follow to study. It's more of a great, such a great gift. And that reminds of the dead of another day. So often, every day, constantly, We are so proud that we meet our old neighbors. How much have we experienced that year in our home state? Start talking now. How beautifully we see a government foundation in that inner city down in New Mexico.
[08:11]
Just little small part in significance. And therefore we the meaning in this wicked day. They are the ones wicked. They are the ones that think of us. And for God is this limitless day, other than you. Amen. that unity which deals the descending in one extremely and really is an upending at the bottom. The future in some way is a 20-hour-bombing, the bloated things of our time, and it is at the same time. So there it is, our thoughts of God's peace as they are working in our heart and building the team of God.
[09:13]
a clock. May your mighty word, O Lord, lead down from heaven, from this world. These words are taken from the books of wisdom, and they are tied by a shirt to lay to the mystery that we are celebrating in this night, the mystery of our redemption. of the incarnation of the world, of the activity of our blessing. My dear brothers and sisters, we must confess by nature we are children of the dead. We love the dead. It's brilliant guidance. It gives us courage Today, it gives us energy.
[10:44]
It gives us joy. It gives us victory. But we must also be aware that even the most great, the most successful man is God. Our ambition and our zeal are swallowed by fatigue. Our energy comes to an end. Can even success may appear to be the goal? In those moments then, when the day runs out, then we begin to realize and to appreciate the blessing of the night. The night that appears to us like a prayer that helps us to forget our care and to forget even our sin.
[12:00]
The night that appears to us even like a mother who under the shadow of her wings keeps us like a king keeps and protects the little sheep. And then we begin to realize that the night is an expression and a symbol of a deep reality, not only of death, but our rebirth, rebirth new in God that reaches us when our old energies are ending the world. Now, my dear friends, you have been waiting, and you have been waiting in this life that she may reach the place of her hope.
[13:09]
And now about me. Are you here as those who simply want to turn the night into day? You don't see up to night in order to work in your office when you're busy. You don't want to turn the night into day by housing. You come here in the midst of the night to celebrate the divine mystery of the night. You come here as those who are eager to listen to the glad tidings of great joy that the angel gives to the shepherds on the plain of Bethlehem.
[14:19]
A failure is born. That of an idea that you want to not hear, to die in the midst of this failing life. You are therefore as those who feel and realize that there is no alternative, cannot save. You are as those who realize that only eternal God can save. That God that lives in the midst of the night from the heavenly throne down here to the sky. This long you are long.
[15:21]
There is, it seems to me, the real mystery of mankind when you consider it, not immediately with the eyes of the human philosopher, or of a scientist burnt with the eyes of one who has been made steep by the weight of the Heavenly God. My dear friends, the mystery of the times led me almost to realize today The word that we want to receive at least from the heavenly Lord, we can hear it only when we put our standards and our faiths to sign. The word of the day that opens and turns the night into day
[16:35]
that springs out of our own human power. The greatest power reaches its end, the Word of God that descends from the heart of our Heavenly Father and reaches us only in the life of sin. What is it? We can see it in those who during this time are put before us as our example, as our witness. They is to remain the mountaintop. They is St. Joseph. Who was St. Joseph? Who was St. Joseph who is not, if I may say so, an active part in this mystery of my life tonight, because we celebrate the incarnation of the Son, Jesus Christ, who was not born out of the will of the flesh, nor out of the will of man, but literally of man.
[17:58]
So, St. Joseph, not a real man, Well, it was them. In some way, they say, he seems not to be the light of the day, but the garden of the night. He was seen as his direction from the angel in his dreams, in vision. And he acts there for them. And that is a message which goes to all, to all of them. Then we should realize that when we are ready to receive the word of redemption that leads down from heaven, then we have to resign it. We have to realize that we are not the beginning and the end of it, but that we are close to
[19:02]
Let me argue upon us as ministers, ministers that give to our dear Father, which descends alone from the power of Jesus Christ, our Lady. We ask, sir, also, pastor, not simply to give, but sir, They are our widow, and there is no other widow. The water, but the water is illusory. Again, why? Because the bird of God made flame? No, made flesh to the wheel of man, to the wheel of man. But, but not, but not, and the blessings. of the eternal love of God.
[20:07]
So the virgin, what, has received and brings to life the child. The mother then listens. The mother then says, be it God, but don't be the product of your faith. The mother then wonders, are these words in her heart? Out then are the riches, Of what she needed, she did hardly get one, full of mercy, full of understanding. That is the word that is the example that United is directed to every Christian woman. But then we ask God, who is our God? I would say a shepherd. The shepherds were in the antiquity flow, the white willow, with the wood, and the sculpture, and the tree, as they were only exposed to wind and wind, as poor people.
[21:18]
The shepherds fell down. The shepherds were lost of power. The shepherds were poor. But in the silence of their poverty, how they were able to listen. Why, sure, was there any simplicity of their power. When they listened to the message of the angel, let us go to them, they said, full to them. As the knowledge who dealeth, They surround themselves and go to the monastery to speak, to find what the Word may bring. The child in the manger turned to be a dog and to a dog, and they went back raising gold.
[22:22]
That is the example of the shepherd, for us does not. but the men who are women who are not. One thing is that we all have a sign in this time on the bottom of our mind. One thing that composing all the old ways and all the good, loud things in ourselves give the silence of humility into the silence of confession, into the silence of repentance, of the calling of the Son, that we may at least then hear the word that tonight leads from heaven out of the depth of eternal love and says to us, You are my God.
[23:25]
says that descending out of God's eternal law and therefore waking up as eternal people says that at the same time as the world directed fully and totally to us as human beings the way we are up here on this earth that lives as poor sinner directed to us because this world be taken back toward what himself our flesh and others think, the Lamb of God. May this Lamb of God enable us who would think then to say, again from the bottom of our hearts, with fullness of real conviction, and at the same time with tremendous relief and with tremendous joy.
[24:44]
When the answer of the Word that leads down from heaven and says to us, You are my child, may we answer it with the honor of You are mine. That is the message of this blessed night, my dear friend. May your Holy Spirit, that quiet love of God, that deep, wide, loving mystery of the night, may be with you. into our heart, may it fill with this peace, so that we, as children of our Heavenly Heart, may see in the fullness of this peace, glory to God the highest, and peace to men. Thank you.
[26:01]
We give thanks to the Lord for all that he has done for us. We thank him for all that he has done for us. We thank him for all that he has done for us. is is For I am willing to lay my life on the cross, and I will do it.
[29:00]
But if I do not have the power to speak, I will not be able to speak. For I am willing to lay my life on the cross, and I will do it. I will not be able to speak. I will not be able to speak. I will not be able to speak. Peace out. Thank you. Thank you.
[30:27]
Amen. I am the Lord, and I am the Father, and I am the Son, and I am the Holy Spirit. I am the Lord, and I am the Father, and I am the Son, and I am the Holy Spirit. Thank you for watching. Thank you.
