La potenza della Benedizione - p.Giorgio Maria Faré — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:02From the Gospel according to Luke. At
- 0:05that time the Pharisees asked Jesus, "
- 0:07When will the kingdom of God come?" He
- 0:15answered them, "The kingdom of God does
- 0:16not come with observation, and no one
- 0:18will say, 'Look, here it is' or 'There
- 0:19it is'; for behold, the kingdom of God
- 0:20is in your midst." Then he said to his
- 0:22disciples, "The days will come when you
- 0:23will long to see one of the days of the
- 0:24Son of Man, but you will not see it.
- 0:30They will say to you, 'Look, there he
- 0:33is' or 'Here he is'. Do not go out or
- 0:36follow them, for as lightning flashes
- 0:39from one end of the sky to the other,
- 0:42so will the Son of Man be in his day.
- 0:46But first he must suffer many things
- 0:49and be rejected by this generation.
- 0:52Praised be Jesus Christ, may he be
- 0:53praised forever. Here we are at
- 0:55Thursday, November 12, the memorial of
- 0:58Saint Josaphat, bishop and martyr. We
- 1:02have listened to today's Gospel taken
- 1:05from chapter 17 of Saint Luke, verses
- 1:0820-25. When will the kingdom of God
- 1:13come? the Pharisees ask. The kingdom of
- 1:18God is Jesus. That is why the Lord says
- 1:22he does not come in a way to attract
- 1:25attention. In fact, no one has noticed.
- 1:30The incarnation of the Word, of the
- 1:32second hypothesis of the Holy Trinity
- 1:35that we will celebrate in a little over
- 1:38a month, for which I have already told
- 1:40you to prepare, to pray for this day,
- 1:46because, you understand: the
- 1:49incarnation of the Son of God is our
- 1:53salvation. In other words, everything
- 1:58that will happen after, Easter, the
- 2:01resurrection, the Church, all that the
- 2:04sacraments, everything that will come
- 2:07after will be in function, will be
- 2:09thanks to the moment of the incarnation
- 2:12. Therefore, Christmas, you understand,
- 2:17is a most precious day, truly most
- 2:24precious, for which we must prepare
- 2:33with great dedication and devotion
- 2:39preceded by the solemnity of Christ,
- 2:41King of the universe. preceded by the
- 2:45Christmas season, excuse me, by the
- 2:48Advent season, preceded by the
- 2:51Immaculate Conception of the Virgin
- 2:54Mary and so on, all very important
- 2:57feasts and solemnities that find their
- 3:00possibility of existence thanks to the
- 3:06incarnation. And yes, it's a pity that
- 3:13no one notices it. That is, when the
- 3:19kingdom of God comes, but it is me, it
- 3:22is me, I am here. The kingdom of God is
- 3:25here. The kingdom of God, says Jesus,
- 3:28because behold, the kingdom of God is
- 3:30in your midst. He is the kingdom of God
- 3:32. Do you understand? The days will come
- 3:41when you will desire to see even one of
- 3:43the days of the Son of Man, but you
- 3:45will not see it. Of course, this is
- 3:53certainly, I believe that every
- 3:56historical period was this more than
- 3:59any other, but no, like many other
- 4:02moments in the history of humanity. You
- 4:06have the desire to see one of those
- 4:09days, to be able to go to Jesus, to be
- 4:13able to talk to him and have him
- 4:18respond immediately, humanly, as
- 4:21happened to the disciples, the apostles
- 4:25, the Pharisees who asked him questions
- 4:28, who saw him humanly present. But this
- 4:35is not given. There is this desire. But
- 4:42because the Lord is lightning, he
- 4:45flashes, he shines, so will his day be.
- 4:54Do you understand? We won't even notice
- 4:58it. Hmm. In the meantime, there are
- 5:06substitutes, there are over-the-counter
- 5:11drugs. Over-the-counter drugs. If
- 5:15Christ is the medicine of immortality
- 5:18who comes to save us from sin, what do
- 5:22you understand? Jesus, the Word does
- 5:26not become incarnate to heal us of
- 5:28illnesses, in fact he does not take
- 5:30away illnesses, he heals some sick
- 5:32people, but he does not solve the
- 5:34problem of illness. Jesus, excuse me,
- 5:37the Word does not become incarnate to
- 5:42give us peace. I did not come to bring
- 5:48peace on earth, Jesus says, but fire,
- 5:51the sword. So the Word did not come for
- 5:55this reason, he did not become
- 5:57incarnate to bring peace, and in fact
- 6:00there is no peace. On the contrary, the
- 6:05more Jesus is present, paradoxically
- 6:08the less peace there is because the
- 6:11darkness does not welcome him. Not
- 6:13because it is Jesus’ fault, but
- 6:15because it is the fault of the darkness
- 6:17that does not welcome Jesus. And the
- 6:19more Jesus is present, the more the
- 6:20darkness reacts. Of course. So there is
- 6:23no peace either. He came for the poor,
- 6:27to save the poor. No, you will always
- 6:31have the poor with you, Jesus says to
- 6:34Judas who immediately goes to judge
- 6:41that beautiful act of love, of
- 6:44adoration by Mary with the alabaster
- 6:48jar full of spikenard. No, Jesus says
- 6:51the poor you will always have with you.
- 6:53Do not think of 300 denarii for the
- 6:54poor, you will always have the poor
- 6:56with you. So he did not come for this
- 6:58reason either, to heal the great issue
- 7:02of poverty. Well, then, why did the
- 7:10Word become flesh? Why did the second
- 7:17hypostasis of the Trinity become flesh?
- 7:21Because the incarnation took place to
- 7:26save us from sin. This is the only
- 7:32reason for the incarnation and in fact
- 7:38it will be the only reason for his
- 7:41death on the cross and his resurrection
- 7:45. To save us from sin. The entire life
- 7:50of Jesus, all of Jesus 'preaching, all
- 7:54of Jesus' miracles are in function of
- 8:00this tremendous struggle with the devil
- 8:04, with his bitter enemy, to recover the
- 8:09prey, the Fathers say, which is us,
- 8:13whom he has kidnapped with original sin
- 8:17. And so Jesus comes to free us from
- 8:23this tyrant, from this bloodthirsty
- 8:26beast, as Saint Martin of Tours called
- 8:29it, on the day of his death, the hour
- 8:33of his death. What do you want,
- 8:35bloodthirsty beast? Get away from here.
- 8:38I have nothing to do with you. You can
- 8:41take or ask for nothing from me because
- 8:44I belong entirely to God. Jesus comes
- 8:49to give this freedom. And so when we
- 8:58meditate on Christmas day and I
- 9:04recommend that you prepare a beautiful
- 9:07nativity scene, do it well, then we
- 9:10will probably have a somewhat limited
- 9:13Christmas and therefore we will
- 9:18probably have a little more time. Let's
- 9:21do this nativity scene well, let's
- 9:23build it well with love. And I also
- 9:30liked the idea of the Christmas tree
- 9:36with: with balls and with the faces of
- 9:44loved ones inside, or, if one is not
- 9:47able to take photos to put inside the
- 9:51balls, the names, put a little card
- 9:54with the names of the loved ones that
- 9:57we love, who love us, on these balls
- 10:00that are on the tree that light up,
- 10:04because the Christmas tree has to be
- 10:07bright, right? Colorful, bright,
- 10:10beautiful, next to our nativity scene
- 10:14that also lights up with these lights,
- 10:18with these, with these colors. It also
- 10:23illuminates the prodigious, mysterious,
- 10:27questioning event of Christmas, of the
- 10:33incarnation. The Word became flesh and
- 10:39came to dwell among us. Too bad that no
- 10:45one noticed it except a very few. Mary
- 10:49Magdalene, the good thief, Zacchaeus,
- 10:58what did they notice? But they realized
- 11:02that Jesus is the Savior. There you
- 11:05have it, Jesus is the Savior. Nothing
- 11:08else matters. Jesus is the Savior. He
- 11:13comes to save us from sin through the
- 11:16sacrifice of his death on the cross.
- 11:19Period. So, you understand that, and in
- 11:28fact he says it, but first it is
- 11:33necessary for him to suffer greatly and
- 11:37be rejected by this generation. Do you
- 11:40understand? It is necessary for him to
- 11:42suffer greatly and be rejected by this
- 11:44generation. Perhaps, you know, that is
- 11:53why they do not realize it. Why? And
- 12:06because you understand that having to
- 12:10accept this thing, well, it is not that
- 12:19we do not like it, right? We do not
- 12:24like it, we do not like it, no one
- 12:27likes it, that this Savior must die on
- 12:33the cross, that is, that he must die in
- 12:37order to save us. And I would like to
- 12:42read you something that is a bit long,
- 12:45but very beautiful. What Jesus said to
- 12:56the stigmatized German mystic Teresa
- 12:59Neuman, whom I am sure you all know
- 13:02very well. Among the many things that
- 13:07happened during the time of Hitler, no,
- 13:10the time of Nazism, this mystic who
- 13:12lived for 40 years eating or perhaps
- 13:15more prophesied many important things.
- 13:18eating only the Eucharist, eh, so a
- 13:21truly beautiful figure. And Jesus,
- 13:25among many things, speaks to you about
- 13:29a question that I want to bring to your
- 13:34attention because I think it is too
- 13:41undervalued, trivialized, and
- 13:46relativized, that is, it is a treasure
- 13:54that we minimally consider, we just
- 13:58don't consider it at all and perhaps
- 14:01today more than ever it would do us
- 14:05good. Jesus says to Teresa Neumiman,"
- 14:10Dear daughter, I want to teach you to
- 14:14receive my blessing with fervor. Try to
- 14:19understand that something great is
- 14:21happening when you receive the blessing
- 14:23from one of my priests. The blessing is
- 14:27an overflowing of my divine sanctity.
- 14:31Pay attention to the words of the Lord,
- 14:32eh? Open your soul and let it become
- 14:39holy through my blessing. Be heavenly
- 14:44water for the soul, through which
- 14:47everything that is done can be fruitful
- 14:50, through the power to bless. I have
- 14:53given the priest the power to open the
- 14:56treasure of my heart and to pour out a
- 14:59rain of graces on souls. We do not
- 15:05realize these things. We travel miles
- 15:09and miles and miles to go to that place
- 15:12where Our Lady appears, where that
- 15:15thing happened, where that saint
- 15:17venerates us. Very good, very beautiful
- 15:22, very wonderful. Okay. And 5 minutes
- 15:27from our home we have the overflowing
- 15:31of divine sanctity. We have the
- 15:37heavenly roar, we have the power to
- 15:43open the treasure of the heart of Jesus
- 15:47and to pour out a shower of graces on
- 15:51souls. I ask you when was the last time
- 16:03you heard about the importance of
- 16:09blessing? When was the last time you
- 16:14were told, "Look, the most beautiful
- 16:18thing, one of the most beautiful things
- 16:21that the priest can give you is the
- 16:25blessing." Obviously, first and
- 16:28foremost, besides the sacraments, of
- 16:30course, but after the sacraments, the
- 16:33blessing. When the priest blesses,
- 16:37Jesus says, he continues, when the
- 16:40priest blesses, I bless. Then, an
- 16:44endless stream of graces flows from my
- 16:48heart to my soul until it fills it
- 16:51completely. But think of the words,
- 16:57think of the immense treasures of
- 17:00graces, of gifts we have and we do not
- 17:03exploit them because we do not believe
- 17:06in them and because we do not know them
- 17:08, we do not understand them. We are, as
- 17:14I have already told you, reading all
- 17:16the apocalyptic nonsense. We read all
- 17:18the conspiracy theories, not all
- 17:20conspiracy theories, and you open this
- 17:22and that other person's WhatsApp and
- 17:24I'll send you the latest article of
- 17:25this one, I'll send it to you. But all
- 17:28this nonsense, get lost, we know
- 17:30absolutely nothing about these things.
- 17:35This is a serious case of ignorance,
- 17:38because all those articles, all those
- 17:40WhatsApps, all those things that we
- 17:43write and post, what use are they for
- 17:45eternal life? For nothing, absolutely
- 17:48nothing. And instead these words of
- 17:52Jesus serve to save our lives here, now
- 17:54and in the future. An endless current
- 17:57of grace flows from my heart to my soul
- 18:00until it fills it completely. An
- 18:03endless current of grace. Well, in
- 18:10conclusion, keep your heart open so as
- 18:15not to lose the benefit of the blessing
- 18:18. Through my blessing you receive the
- 18:21grace of love and help for the soul and
- 18:23for the body. Oh, by the way, this must
- 18:26be said. Can you receive a blessing
- 18:29over the phone? Yes. And how? You
- 18:35cannot receive the solution of the
- 18:38sacrament of penance. This, no, you
- 18:40cannot make confession over the phone.
- 18:42This is absolutely not possible. It is
- 18:44invalid. But the blessing is. Can I
- 18:49call a priest on the phone and tell him
- 18:51, “Father, can you bless me?” Sure,
- 18:55this is a valid function. It can be
- 18:58done through my blessing. You receive
- 19:07the grace of love and help for your
- 19:08soul and body. Do you understand? For
- 19:10your soul and for your body. My most
- 19:14holy blessing contains all the help
- 19:16that humanity needs. In fact, I can’t
- 19:21remember which saint knelt down when
- 19:27they received their priestly blessing.
- 19:31I would say practically all of them,
- 19:35because the priestly blessing is the
- 19:38blessing of Jesus. You don’t receive
- 19:44the priest’s blessing standing up.
- 19:47When the priest blesses you kneel down.
- 19:51Whether it’s during Mass, the final
- 19:53part, whether it’s because you’re
- 19:55asking for a blessing, whether it’s
- 19:57when he blesses the table, whether
- 19:59it’s when he blesses us because
- 20:01we’re asking for a blessing, if he
- 20:03kneels down because it’s God’s
- 20:05blessing, it’s the blessing of the
- 20:07Most Holy Trinity. As novices, before
- 20:15going to bed in the evening, our master
- 20:20would give us the Holy Blessing that
- 20:25closed the day, sealing from that
- 20:30moment on the time of strict silence,
- 20:32we would not speak again until after
- 20:35mass the next day. So even there, no,
- 20:38we wake up in the morning and talk, it
- 20:41is not good, because the first words
- 20:44are those of the Lord. I mean, mass is
- 20:48not one of the many things that we do
- 20:50during the day, you understand? Well, I
- 20:53mean, no, but I feel like talking,
- 20:55telling each other things, right? Who
- 20:59is the first word of the day reserved
- 21:01for? For God. A first fruit. My
- 21:07blessing, my holy blessing. In fact,
- 21:11the holy blessing was requested. Not
- 21:13Father bless me. Father give me the
- 21:16holy blessing. It contains all the help
- 21:19that is necessary in humanity. All the
- 21:21help, eh, not a little. Everything.
- 21:24Through it you are given the strength
- 21:26and desire to seek good, to avoid evil,
- 21:29to enjoy the protection of my children
- 21:31against the powers of darkness. It is a
- 21:34great privilege when you are granted to
- 21:37receive the blessing. You cannot
- 21:39understand how much mercy comes to you
- 21:41through it. This is where the mercy of
- 21:43God comes through the blessing.
- 21:47Therefore, never receive the blessing
- 21:50in a dull, distracted way, but with all
- 21:53your complete attention. You are poor
- 21:57before receiving the blessing, you are
- 21:59rich after receiving it. Do you
- 22:01understand? With how much devotion we
- 22:03must receive this blessing because
- 22:05mercy comes, because we are freed from
- 22:08the power of darkness, because we flee
- 22:10evil, we learn to seek good. Jesus
- 22:13continues. It pains me that the
- 22:16blessing of the Church is so little
- 22:19appreciated and so rarely received.
- 22:22Words of Jesus, eh Teresa Neumiman, go
- 22:25and read. Little appreciated, rarely
- 22:28received by my church. No, I was wrong.
- 22:35So little appreciated, so rarely
- 22:37received the blessing of the Church,
- 22:40not by my Church, but of the Church.
- 22:42That the blessing of the Church is so
- 22:44little appreciated and so rarely
- 22:46received. Good will is strengthened
- 22:49through it. Initiatives receive my
- 22:52special providence. Weakness is
- 22:54strengthened by my power. Do you
- 22:56understand how wonderful it would be if
- 22:58before going to do something important
- 23:01we asked for a blessing, a holy
- 23:03blessing before a trip, before an exam,
- 23:06before a visit, before...the Holy
- 23:08Blessing is not the same as remembering
- 23:12me in prayer. No, another thing, I
- 23:15remember a prayer, I don't remember,
- 23:17but the holy blessing is the holy
- 23:19blessing. Thoughts and intentions are
- 23:27spiritualized, all bad influences are
- 23:29neutralized. I have given my blessing,
- 23:32boundless powers. It comes from the
- 23:35infinite love of my sacred heart. Be
- 23:38careful, I can't stop at every line
- 23:39because otherwise, you understand, we
- 23:41would have to do a 7-hour meditation
- 23:43because they are words, each sentence
- 23:45would have to say 100 things. The
- 23:47greater the zeal with which the
- 23:52blessing is given and received, the
- 23:54greater its effectiveness. Do you
- 23:57understand? The more zeal there is in
- 23:59the priest who administers it, the more
- 24:01zeal there is in the one who receives
- 24:03it, the greater its effectiveness. Do
- 24:07you understand? It is different from
- 24:10the sacrament, because the sacrament,
- 24:12even if the priest is a demon of sins,
- 24:17the sacrament ex opera operato works
- 24:21through the intrinsic power of the
- 24:24sacrament. So the communion, the
- 24:28Eucharist consecrated by Padre Pio and
- 24:31by the last most sinful priest on earth
- 24:35is the same because it acts according
- 24:38to the power, the virtue of the
- 24:41consecrating words. The blessing, no.
- 24:47The blessing of Padre Pio, if received
- 24:52with fervor, is very different. He
- 24:58gives the blessing of anyone else who
- 25:00is not like him. Whether a child is
- 25:04blessed or the entire world is blessed,
- 25:06the blessing for Himself is greater
- 25:08than 1000 worlds, says Jesus. Reflect
- 25:12that God is immense, infinitely immense
- 25:14, how small are the things, His
- 25:16comparison. And the same thing happens.
- 25:19Whether only one or many receive the
- 25:21blessing, it does not matter, because I
- 25:23give to each according to the measure
- 25:25of his faith, do you understand? And
- 25:28since I am infinitely rich in all goods
- 25:30, I have granted you to receive without
- 25:32measure. Your hopes are never too great
- 25:35. Everything will exceed your deepest
- 25:37expectations. My daughter, protect and
- 25:41bless. What do you mean, have you
- 25:44understood? I'll read it again. My
- 25:48daughter, protect and bless. Protect
- 25:55your priests, especially the holy ones,
- 26:00those who lead you to God, those who
- 26:04show you God, those who fill you with
- 26:07blessings. That is, Jesus says it, eh?
- 26:16Protect those who bless you. Then in
- 26:19that period, do you understand? Hitler
- 26:22is very clear. Highly esteem blessed
- 26:27things, so you will please me, your God
- 26:30. Do you understand? Highly esteem
- 26:34blessed things, highly holy water, a
- 26:38blessed crucifix, a blessed rosary, so
- 26:42many things. Every time you are blessed
- 26:46and united more closely to me, you are
- 26:48sanctified again, healed and protected
- 26:50by the love of my sacred heart. Oh,
- 26:54what incredible words. Oh, what words.
- 26:56I should take a course of spiritual
- 26:58exercises just on this. I often keep
- 27:01the results of my blessing hidden so
- 27:03that they will be known only in
- 27:05eternity. Often it seems that blessings
- 27:09have no results, but their influence is
- 27:11wonderful. Even seemingly fruitless
- 27:13results are a blessing obtained through
- 27:16the Holy Blessing. These are the
- 27:18mysteries of my providence that I do
- 27:20not wish to reveal. My blessings often
- 27:24produce effects unknown to the soul.
- 27:27Therefore, have great trust in this
- 27:29outpouring of my sacred heart and
- 27:32reflect seriously on this favor, that
- 27:35the apparent results are hidden from
- 27:37you. Therefore, we must not look at the
- 27:43effects, we must look at the authority
- 27:46of the one who says it. Receive the
- 27:50holy blessing sincerely, says Jesus,
- 27:53because his graces enter only into the
- 27:56humble heart. Receive it with good will
- 27:59and with the intention of giving better
- 28:01. Then it will penetrate the depths of
- 28:05your heart and will produce its effects
- 28:07. Be a daughter of the blessing, then
- 28:10you yourself will be a blessing for
- 28:12others. Beautiful. Thank you, Jesus.
- 28:16Thank you, Jesus, for teaching us
- 28:19catechism. Jesus teaches us catechism.
- 28:22He teaches us catechism. Thank you,
- 28:25Jesus, for at least telling us these
- 28:26things because otherwise who knows
- 28:28where we would be. And I conclude,
- 28:33let's not forget that to bless means to
- 28:37speak well. When we speak ill of our
- 28:41neighbor, and mind you, I'm not talking
- 28:43about slander, I mean I'm not inventing
- 28:46evil and attributing it to my neighbor.
- 28:48This is slander. I invent an evil that
- 28:50he didn't do and I say that he did. A
- 28:52very serious mortal sin. Very serious.
- 28:57The sin of slander is the mortal sin
- 29:01against charity that immediately
- 29:04excludes the Eucharist. If you haven't
- 29:09gone, you must first confess, and go to
- 29:11the person and ask forgiveness for the
- 29:13slander. Well, gossip is also speaking
- 29:18ill of another person, which is true,
- 29:22for example, I stole two apples. A
- 29:26person saw me and said Mr. So-and-so
- 29:28stole two apples, it's true. No, and
- 29:32I'm going to spread it. Okay. This
- 29:36speaking ill of another person is
- 29:39called gossip. The real evil of another
- 29:41person. Speaking ill. Always think
- 29:46about the etymologies of words.
- 29:50Speaking ill. Speaking evil, speaking
- 29:56evil, speaking evil. Evil. To speak
- 30:02evil, to speak evil. When I speak evil,
- 30:09I am cursing that man. My legs are
- 30:17shaking, they are shaking. I am cursing
- 30:22him. You know that cursing is a mortal
- 30:26sin, a very serious one. Woe to those
- 30:32who curse. The devil curses. We could
- 30:40really say that cursing is the monkey
- 30:44of blessing. The curse is really, we
- 30:52could say, the hymn to Satan. It is
- 30:58really the prayer of the devil, it is
- 31:01the invocation of the devil. He asks,
- 31:06he invokes Satan, he makes himself an
- 31:10instrument of Satan, he offers his
- 31:13tongue to Satan, just as he who blesses
- 31:17offers his tongue to the Trinity, to
- 31:20the heart of Jesus. So let us be very
- 31:25careful, very careful. As soon as
- 31:30someone speaks badly, we should say: "
- 31:33Shut up, shut up, I don't want to hear
- 31:35anything. I don't want curses to enter
- 31:39my head. Because every curse, every bad
- 31:43word is a poison that is inoculated
- 31:46into your soul, like a snake that bites
- 31:50you and that poison corrodes you just
- 31:53the same. No, but look, it's true. No,
- 31:57but I do it to compare myself, liar,
- 32:00lazy, diabolical. You are using these
- 32:06words to surround me, to bite me and
- 32:09poison me with your curse. Be quiet, I
- 32:12don't want to hear you say these things
- 32:14. Be silent, Satan." This is what we
- 32:18should say when we listen to gossip,
- 32:20when someone starts to speak badly. Be
- 32:23silent, Satan, you have offered your
- 32:25tongue to the devil. Go away, go away
- 32:29from me. You have nothing to do with me
- 32:35, be silent. This is what Jesus spoke
- 32:39to the devil. Be silent, be silent,
- 32:41Satan, go away. Do you remember, Father
- 32:46? When Padre Pio was called to bless
- 32:48that house, this is something that has
- 32:50always stuck in my mind. When Padre Pio
- 32:52was called to bless that house, Padre
- 32:55Pio entered, walked around the house,
- 32:57and when he reached the kitchen, he
- 33:00stopped with his majestic,
- 33:01authoritative manner, right? He stopped
- 33:04. I get goosebumps. He stopped in the
- 33:09kitchen, the kitchen doors, and what
- 33:13did Padre Pio do? He said, "I'm not
- 33:16coming in here, I'm not coming in here.
- 33:20" And they asked him, "Why don't you
- 33:24come in?""I will not go in here,
- 33:27because this was a den of vipers. And I
- 33:35asked him, Father, what does a den of
- 33:38vipers mean in here? This was a place
- 33:43of gossip. And I will not go in here, I
- 33:48will not bless. Terrible, terrible.
- 33:55Remember this expression of Padre Pio.
- 34:00When we curse someone, when we speak
- 34:04ill of someone, when we murmur against
- 34:08someone, Padre Pio used to say, you
- 34:12tear Jesus Christ from your heart and
- 34:16cast him out together with the cursed
- 34:20brother. No, let's realize it, eh?
- 34:28Let's realize it. Eh, but Father, you
- 34:36know, it happened to me that for an
- 34:39hour that person said everything and
- 34:42more, terrible, terrible things about
- 34:45that other person, he spoke badly, he
- 34:48said evil and I left all upset. And I
- 34:53replied:" You beautiful donkey! You
- 34:56really are a beautiful donkey and who
- 34:58told you to listen? Why didn’t you
- 35:01tell him, “Shut up, Satan? Why
- 35:03didn’t you tell him, “Go away,
- 35:05Satan?” Why didn’t you say, “I
- 35:07don’t want to hear these things?”
- 35:09Shut up. Why do you listen to them?
- 35:14You’ve let yourself be poisoned, and
- 35:16you’ll see how difficult it is to
- 35:18remove that poison from your soul now,
- 35:20how difficult it is for those words not
- 35:22to contaminate your soul at least a
- 35:24little. So let’s stay away from the
- 35:29curse, that is, from the No, but I have
- 35:32never cursed anyone, liar. Did you
- 35:35speak badly of someone? You cursed them
- 35:38the moment I spoke badly to you, you
- 35:40cursed them because you said evil. The
- 35:43Latins used to say out bene, out nil,
- 35:46either you speak well or you are silent
- 35:48. What do you have to say? Nothing.
- 35:52Because I have nothing good to say. And
- 35:54so I keep quiet because I do not offer
- 35:57my mouth to the curse of the devil. I
- 36:00do not want to become an instrument of
- 36:03Satan. So with all my heart I give you
- 36:08God’s blessing. That’s why I always
- 36:11end every homily with a blessing. Even
- 36:14when we did catechesis in person just a
- 36:18year ago, I always ended them with a
- 36:21blessing, always. All my meditations,
- 36:25all my homilies, you see, always end
- 36:27with a holy blessing, because I ask the
- 36:30Lord to bless each one of you and may
- 36:33the blessing of Almighty God, Father,
- 36:36Son and Holy Spirit, descend upon you
- 36:38and remain with you always. Amen.
- 36:42Praise be to you.
