How Do You Turn A Bandana Into A Mask?

ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time. A year




My friends, do not be afraid to lean on Christ!
Long for Christ, as the foundation of life!
Turn in you the desire to build your life on him and for him!
Why can not lose one who depends on the crucified love of the Incarnate Word

Benedict XVI



Mt 7, 21-29

At that time, Jesus told his disciples: "Not everyone who says Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of the Father mine who is in heaven.
Many will say to me that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name drive out demons in your name perform many miracles in your name? I will declare to them, I have never known: depart from me, you evildoers.
then who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on rock.
The rain fell and flooded rivers, the winds blew and beat upon that house, and it did not fall, it was founded on the rock.
everyone who hears these words of mine and not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand. The rain fell, the floods came, the winds blew and beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was its fall. "
When Jesus had finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his doctrine: For he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.

do the will of the Father in Heaven opens the gates of heaven. E 'live as a citizen of Heaven, the show belongs to. This, and only that, the Passport to Paradise. The words do not count. Even miracles. Not being a priest or a missionary. I could give to the poor, or deliver my body to the fire, if not for love is pure smoke. Vanity weightless. A life built on sand, very fine powder, soft and relaxing. Without strength. Our beautiful words, our heroic acts of altruism, our liturgies, prayers. Everything to appear, all to receive in return a bit 'of affection. Everything to build ourselves. Without love, only lust. A worldly life, the flesh to guide choices.

A passport worthless. The Lord can not recognize him. There is no sealed his love. The Word incarnate, made in the fabric of existence, the company founded on the Rock. Christ. Or him, or us. With him, we will enter into the kingdom, without him I'll stay out. Urge convert. Today. Hear His voice and not harden your heart, to provide oil of the Holy Spirit as the wise virgins and prudent. Pray for the Spirit, the breath of God to feed our lives to divine life. His nature molded us. The thought of Christ in our minds. His heart in our hearts. With him, seized his love, even today in Gethsemane sconvlto by the winds of temptation, in the struggle with the rain of our desires, and with him the faith to stand firm when the rivers of adversity, illness, relationships, work, children , the husband, the wife of the money came upon us .. With him victorious over the flesh, the world, the devil. United with him, inextricably. Prefer nothing to His love. And 'this wisdom. And 'This is the gate of Heaven.
