Juan de la Cruz Subida al Monte Carmelo Libro 3, cap 18 3. Se sigue, pues, que el hombre ni se ha de gozar de las riquezas cuando las tiene ni cuando las tiene su hermano, sino si con ellas sirven a Dios... Y lo mismo se ha de entender de los demas bienes de titulos, oficios, etc., en todo lo cual es vano el gozarse sino en si en ello sirven mas a Dios y llevan mas seguro el camino para la vida eterna. No hay, pues, de que se gozar, sino en si sirve mas a Dios.   4. Pues sobre los hijos tampoco hay de que se gozar, ni por ser muchos, ni ricos, adornados de dones y gracias naturales y bienes de fortuna, sino en si sirven a Dios...   6. Pues gozarse sobre la mujer o sobre el marido, cuando claramente no saben que sirven a Dios mejor en su casamiento, tambien seria vanidad...

... cardinal Joseph Ratzinger explained, thus communion before God is not denied: "It is not quite true that the uninterrupted recitation in a loud voice of the Eucharistic prayer is the condition for the participation of everyone in this central act of the Eucharistic celebration. My proposal then was: on one hand liturgical education must be such that the faithful know the essential meaning and the fundamental tendency of the Canon; on the other, the first words of the individual prayers should be pronounced in a loud voice as an invitation to the whole community, so that, then, the silent prayer of each one makes its own the intonation and can bring the personal dimension into that of the community, and that of the community into the personal dimension. Whoever has experienced personally the unity of the Church in the silence of the Eucharistic prayer has experienced what truly full silence is, which represents at the same time a deep and penetrating cry addressed to God, a pra...

The longing for happiness, deeply rooted in the human heart, has always been accompanied by a desire to be freed from illness and to be able to understand the meaning of sickness when it is experienced. This is a human phenomenon, which in some way concerns every person and finds particular resonance in the Church, where sickness is understood as a means of union with Christ and of spiritual purification . Moreover, for those who find themselves in the presence of a sick person, it is an occasion for the exercise of charity . But this is not all, because sickness, like other forms of human suffering, is a privileged moment for prayer , whether asking for grace , or for the ability to accept sickness in a spirit of faith and conformity to God's will, or also for asking for healing . Prayer for the restoration of health is therefore part of the Church's experience in every age, including our own. What in some ways is new is the proliferation of prayer meetings, at times combin...

It's about Christ and his Paschal mystery, Luke 24 : 25  And he said to them, “O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26  Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” 27  And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself .   GIRM 67. The purpose of the Creed or Profession of Faith is that the whole gathered people may respond to the Word of God proclaimed in the readings taken from Sacred Scripture and explained in the Homily... -> the homily should awake the desire to say: I believe! GIRM 69. In the Universal Prayer or Prayer of the Faithful, the people respond in some sense to the Word of God which they have received in faith and, exercising the office of their baptismal Priesthood, offer prayers to God for the salvation of all... -> the homily should awake the desire to ask for salvation Redempt...

1847 "God created us without us: but he did not will to save us without us." To receive his mercy, we must admit our faults . "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1864 ... There are no limits to the mercy of God, but anyone who deliberately refuses to accept his mercy by repenting, rejects the forgiveness of his sins and the salvation offered by the Holy Spirit. Such hardness of heart can lead to final impenitence and eternal loss. 2092 There are two kinds of presumption. Either man presumes upon his own capacities, (hoping to be able to save himself without help from on high), or he presumes upon God's almighty power or his mercy (hoping to obtain his forgiveness without conversion and glory without merit).

So run that you may obtain it. 25 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26 Well, I do not run aimlessly, I do not box as one beating the air;
