Church Letters Of Condolence

LOVE CAN BE SENT BEFORE BECAUSE IT IS DONATED

Holy Thursday is par excellence the Day of Charity, the day of the manifestation of the love of God in his Son. On that Thursday, which is brighter than the sun, we can find love until the end, until the end of Jesus. At the gates of his painful passion, wanting to anticipate knowingly and voluntarily surrender on the Cross, the Lord gives us in this day his love of the Eucharist, his Love in the priesthood and his love in the new commandment. Maundy Thursday is a day so dense spiritual depth that we need to extend the Church on the Feast of Corpus Christi to give thanks and rejoice in the gift of the Eucharist.

Let's go to the Upper Room, that high and beautiful room, where the disciples, where Peter and John, sent by Jesus Easter painstakingly prepared, that Master Easter longed and longed so much ... before I suffer that Passover, Easter that opened their suffering, their sacrifice of love. In that room is always born and revived the priesthood, there is delivered to each of us the Lord's humble servant, a slave, washing our feet, cleansing the dirt of our lives for us to share your table, to make us stay and communion of life sacrificed. We fill our minds and hearts of simple gestures, tender, fatherly: inclined to the feet of the creature the Creator in his abasement purified love. Breaking Bread gives us his body broken on the Cross offering the cup of blessing we grafted in Viña Santa, makes us members of His Body, we can recycle in their active charity and live: his blood shed. Pater familiae Jesus as the chairman of the dinner ... dinner at which there is no need for ritual lamb, the Lamb real-not figured-is sacrificed now. Jesus is the passover of our salvation.

Let's look at the disciples, John, leaning on the Heart of Jesus, in sinu Iesu, as a little boy in the heart of his father, the beloved Son in the bosom of His Father. Jesus in his sacrifice will lead us to the bosom of His Father, will give us affiliation. John can hear your heartbeat Jesus, you receive the Heart by infinite light and life ... is the same that includes open heart and wounded on the Cross, at the same time that the ancient paschal lambs were sacrificed. John with his look into that heart and you can understand from this "Time" that "God is Love." The other disciples

fearful and sad, even some in the area's largest charity, arguing about who is the greatest, who is the oldest. Much pain in the heart of the master to see his rudeness, when he did not understand his gesture of humble servant and slave! Much alone in the Heart of Christ! Who understands? Pedro

expressing their promises to give his life for Jesus. True love him ... but a love so sure and smug. A love that requires purification. A love which must pass through the tears of contrition. A love that should allow Jesus to wash it first, give his life for him, then Peter has in itself the Charity of Jesus to follow and be bound and put to death, the glorification of God as Master .

Judas, still the subject of privacy of Christ, his proximity to it ... also Jesus washed his feet, he too hoped the mystery of Eucharistic love him too .... But the heart of Judas is a darkness impenetrable, is poisoned by his betrayal. Jesus is no longer worth anything to him just the price of thirty pieces of silver, only the sad price of their greed, their disappointment. What does it give to that naive and dreamy! We'll see whether overt or not as the King Messiah and allowed to utter fine speeches.

Judas is thrown into darkness. He throws himself at night, can not stand being in the field of light, in the Mystery of Light is the Cenacle. And when you leave begins to shine the glory of the Time of Jesus. Yes, the Son of Man is glorified and the Father is glorified in Jesus. Jesus is glorified because it is routed to the Cross which is the manifestation and communication of His glory, the weight of your merciful love and savior. The Cross is the glory of Christ and expressing his loving obedience to the Father who repairs our disobedience, your obedient love that quickens the deaths of our denials and infidelities.

When Judas leaves it was night, the Upper Room becomes a new heaven. Jesus opens wide the Sacred Heart. Nothing stops the overflowing torrent of Charity. The waters of sins of the world have not been able to overshadow the love of the Lord. Is determined to be delivered to the end. Never before tonight expressed all his tenderness: "My little mine ... "" Do not be afraid ... "" Do not be troubled or afraid ... "" Do not leave you orphans, I will return and your hearts will rejoice ... "" I no longer call you servants but friends ... "Friends, people you trust , who revealed to us all, there are no secrets between us and Jesus. As friends have given us the most precious, has given its mystery, its Eucharistic Love.

"My little children ..." Jesus is no better expression to reveal how much he loves us. He who calls God "Abba ... call us babies. Is precisely that we are generating, with labor pains of His Passion, as little children of Abba. I remember with emotion my visit to the Upper Room in Jerusalem. In that place, unfairly expropriated from the Christian presence and all manifestations of worship, I stop at the only Christian image that remains in that sacred precinct. Column is a beautiful cross that has withstood the vicissitudes of time and raw human fanaticism. In that column cross, just decorating the front of the capital, the gleaming white stone, is the image of the pelican giving his chest as food to their babies, their pelicanitos. The pious Pelican, no deeper image to portray Jesus in the Eucharist in his act given to us in the act of surrendering to the death for our revival. Jesus gives me his chest, I do love live, feeds me with his love. Living by his death. Pelican before we discover that there is no greater love than to give his life for his friends. So the Pelican is the most realistic and beautiful sign of Charity, the Sacrament of Charity of Jesus Charity.

"and shortly I'll be with you" It's time to say goodbye, I want to reveal so much ... who has not been found in a situation of farewell? As we wanted to concentrate all our love in a word, a gesture, a look! How painful are all fired! In each of them like something about the death. Jesus would say so many things, give so much advice, make sure you never forget them, beg them never to forget him, teach him again just never understand ... But all of Jesus' farewell will concentrate on a mandate, a law new, a new covenant written in their hearts. The will of Jesus is the new commandment of love:
"I give you a new commandment: love one another. That, as I have loved you, that you also love one another. Will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. "
The command New Charity is a Grace is a gift, is the parting gift of Jesus. A gift that is not his thing, but is himself. Who loves you as Jesus lives in Him and with Him Who loves as Jesus abides in Him, as John reclined in his heart. Who loves as Jesus extends his presence in the world is yours irradiation.

"A new commandment I give you ..." The Holy Thursday liturgy called the beautiful gesture of washing the feet of the "mandatum", the command, the will, the last covenant of the Lord with us. This "mandatum" more eloquently teaches us that millions of books and questions about charity. The Church carries out the will of her husband washing and kissing the feet of the poor, while singing "update and celebrating" the words of Jesus: "I give you a new commandment." "In this you shall know that ye are my disciples, that ye love one another." Charity
To learn we must rid ourselves, we must bow to our brothers, to the hurt that I find in my path. Charity is the love that you forget to spend and consume themselves for Jesus and those who are the Body of Christ, the Sacrament of Christ: the hungry, not only of bread but of God, those who live alone , the desperate victims of this world hedonistic and elitist, those excluded from the consumer society, those who have no right to a decent education or health plans ... Blessed wounded feet of our brothers who want to reach the tenderness of the Heart of Christ through love our humble server.
we say: Lord how much it weighs and costs us love like you ... But Love can be asked for before us is donated. Love can be sent as soon as we have been given. Jesus gives us the same love, comes to us with his own love: in the Eucharist, the gift of the Holy Spirit in the new law no longer willing to write on tablets of stone but in our hearts of flesh.
Before a warrant
Love is a gift: "This is my commandment: love one another as (that) I have loved you." Because I have loved you, it could also be translated correctly. The Love of Jesus raises donated ours, because ours, our love begins and ends in a wonderful synergy. It is now love like Him, in Him, to Him and He present in the Sacrament of the Brother. Jesus could not send love, otherwise we would have loved Him first. Or we could require love, if not give us the ability to do before. How can we love with a heart of stone? Only God can change our hearts stone into a heart of flesh. God enables us to love by loving.

Jesus' command is new because of its size and intensity. Jesus calls us to love like Him Love like Jesus. Love to all, and in particular, which we find unpleasant, those who trespass against us, who hate us, who can not pay us anything, sometimes even with his or her smile thanks to those who only received a slap in the biting criticism or cold indifference. "Love until it hurts! Love with blood from the heart! "As I said and lived the Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.

The new commandment of Jesus reaches me and me "new" and wants to make "new" all my stuff in so far as I am open to transformation of the Eucharist. The Eucharist I have to do another Jesus, is the end of it. All the Love of Jesus comes to my poor heart in the Eucharist. I also should I get bread broken and given. I must also love to end. This will ask the Love of Loves, Jesus, our Passover Lamb Eternal. Amen
