No Greater Love
Prayer of God's children To be fruitful, the prayer must come from the heart and touch the heart of God to see how Jesus taught his disciples to pray. Every time we say "Our Father, God, I'm sure, he turns his eyes on his hands, right where it has drawn:" I have designated on the palms of my hands "(Is 49:16). He covers his hands, and we can see, here, crouched between them. How wonderful, the tenderness of God!
Please, let's say the "Our Father." Let us experience and then we are the saints. Here is everything: God, I the next. If I lose, then I can be a saint, I pray. Everything comes from a humble heart, and if we have that heart, we will know how to love God, love ourselves and love our neighbor (Matt. 22.37 s). There is nothing complicated in this, yet we complicate our lives so much, because they weigh so many overweight, one thing counts: to be humble and pray. The more you pray, you pray the better.
A child does not meet no difficulty in expressing his understanding candida in simple terms that say a lot. Did not Jesus made it clear to Nicodemus that one must become like a child (Jn 3:3)? If we pray according to the Gospel, to allow us to grow in Christ. Please, therefore, with love as a child, with the ardent desire to love and to make very loved person who is not.
Charles Peguy:
"Ask a father if not the best time is when his children began to love him as a man, himself as a man, freely, free of charge. Ask a father whose children are growing. Ask a father if there is one hour secret, a secret moment, and if not when his children start to become men, free, and he treated like a man, free! The love as a man, free, ask a parent whose children are growing. Ask the father if there is an election among all, and if not precisely when the submission ceases, and when his sons became men, they love it, treat it as it were by connoisseurs, man to man, freely , for free, they consider it so. Ask if the father does not know that anything is worth a look for man who meets a gaze of man. Now I am their father, says God, and know the condition of man, am I that I did not ask them trope, no wonder that their cuore, quando ho il cuore trovo che va bene, non sono difficile. Tutte le sottomissioni da schiavo nel mondo non valgono un bello sguardo da uomo libero, o piuttosto tutte le sottomissioni da schiavo nel mondo mi ripugnano ed io darei tutto per uno bello sguardo da uomo libero, per una bella obbedienza e tenerezza e devozione da uomo libero, per uno sguardo di San Luigi IX e anche per uno sguardo di Joinville, perché Joinville è meno santo, ma non è meno libero, e non è meno cristiano e non è meno gratuito, e mio figlio è morto anche per Joinville, A questa libertà, a questa gratuità ho sacrificato tutto, dice Dio, al gusto che ho di essere amato da uomini liberi, liberamente, gratuitamente, da dei veri uomini, virili, adulti, fermi, nobili, teneri ma di una tenerezza ferma. Per ottenere questa libertà, questa gratuità ho sacrificato tutto, per creare questa libertà, questa gratuità, per far agire questa libertà, questa gratuità, per insegnare all'uomo la libertà..."
