DAY GOSPEL YEAR B - DAY 04/12 Those who enter the Kingdom of Heaven? - Mt 7,21.24-27 At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: 21 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven, but which implements the will of my Father who is in heaven. 24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on rock. 25 The rain fell, the floods came, the winds beat against the house, but the house did not fall, because it was built on rock. 26 Furthermore, everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain fell, the floods came, the winds blew and buffeted the house, and the house fell, and his ruin was complete! - Word of Salvation. - Glory to you, Lord. prayerful reading OPENING PRAYER greeting - To all of us who find ourselves in this virtual environment, peace from God our Father, the grace and the joy of our Lord Jesus Christ, in love and fellowship of the Holy Spirit. - Blessed be God who has brought us together in the love of Christ!

A heart whose happiness is throbbing with the Heart of Christ and fulfill humbly her fathers wishes. Amen. Pope Paul VI 1- READING (TRUTH) What does the day of the text? I read the text carefully and observe people, words, relationships, places. Mt 7,21.24-27 Do not just pray or call God Lord to come into your kingdom. Jesus says exclusively: only whoever does the will of the Father is entering this realm. The Master tells the parable of the house built on rock and the house built on sand. Building your house means hearing the Word of God. In both cases, people heard the Word. The difference is that a live according to the teachings and another will not. The rock and sand symbols correspond to practice or not the Word. The rain, flooding and strong wind represent the difficulties of life, who want to bring us down and destroy Gods design. The house built on the rock, is firm, unwavering, overcomes all obstacles. 2- MEDITATION (PATH) What it says to me today? The bishops of Latin America help us reflect on our commitment to the Kingdom . The plan of Jesus is to establish the kingdom of their Father Therefore, asks his disciples: Proclaim that is coming the kingdom of heaven (Mt 10.7). This is the kingdom of life. Because the proposal of Jesus Christ to our people, the basic content of this mission is the provision of a full life for all. Therefore, the doctrine, standards, ethical guidelines and all missionary activity of the Church, must disclose this attractive offer of a better life in Christ to every man and every woman of Latin America and the Caribbean. (Dap 361). 3- PRAYER (LIFE) The text leads me to say to God? I pray in silence and then conclude with the Blessed Alberione: Jesus Master, Your life is precept, way, only safety, true, infallible. The crib, Nazareth, Calvary, everything is the way of love to the Father, of infinite purity, love the people, the Sacrifice ... Grant that I may know thee, I put every moment, my foot on your footprints. (...) 4- contemplation (LIFE AND MISSION) What my new look from the Word? Ill look at the world and life through the eyes of God. I want to put into practice the word that I heard. BLESSING O God full of kindness and love, grant to your faithful the burning desire to possess the heavenly kingdom, so, hurrying with our good works to the Christ who comes encounter, be brought together on your right in the community of the righteous. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Go. Patricia Silva, fsp [email protected]
