00:00Hello my dear brothers and sisters, we have finally arrived at Holy Week and the Triduum
00:25We are celebrating Easter today, on this beautiful Thursday, when the Lord will celebrate Easter with his disciples.
00:33But it is also the day he will go to pray. I would like these three days of the triduum for you.
00:42were really three days of prayer, and to pray one needs to be silent if we read the
00:49In the scriptures we will see how frequently Jesus sought the mountain, he sought silence; in fact, there are few
00:57On the occasions when we see him praying with all the other apostles, he usually withdraws and remains silent.
01:04Because silence is the place where God makes himself present—an expression I love from Saint John.
01:11It is from the cross that he speaks of that inner silence, he says the silence that speaks or the resounding solitude.
01:17He refers to that inner space; I would like to take you first to listen in silence.
01:27I imagine Jesus at the Last Supper, which is the one we are going to celebrate today, listening to the apostles.
01:33Pay attention, above all I would invite you to read the narratives of the Last Supper, starting
01:41to chapter 13 of John and that you read those chapters from 13 to chapter 17 and
01:49You will listen like a silent disciple who will keep silent, that you will enter your heart after
01:57reading chapter after chapter listening to the master in silence today we struggle to be silent while
02:06Someone is talking to us while I'm talking to you right now. Where is your mind and where is your
02:13My heart, we have lost the essence of communication, which is listening. If I don't listen, if I only hear...
02:24I am simply something that resonates in my ears but causes no feeling, no emotion, nothing.
02:34To develop this thought, we need to be silent, listen, and listen in silence.
02:42And this requires concentration; this requires first closing our eyes and asking the Holy Spirit to...
02:49Create silence in our hearts, in our minds, the desert monks taught their
02:57The disciples kept saying, "Seek stillness in your mind and peace in your heart."
03:07Silence in your mind, peace in your heart, and that was being engraved on the disciples so they could enter into that
03:17silence where God speaks, and having achieved silence, read a chapter or perhaps a
03:25a fragment of the chapter and listen and listen in silence and let that word reverberate from the
03:35Master, these will be the Master's last words to you, to the apostles, but I would also invite you to
03:45Tonight, after listening to the teacher's words, where we will hear, well, not all of them, right?
03:52We will only hear from chapter 13 onwards in the Mass where it speaks precisely of the washing of the feet.
03:58of the feet
03:58But I would invite you to know that afterwards, in almost all churches, there is what is called the vigil.
04:06Accompanying Jesus that night in silence is Jesus preparing to offer his life to the Father.
04:14In silence, away from everyone, it begins in the garden of the spittlebugs, in silence.
04:21The monks say that in that silence the heart reveals itself
04:27And the humanity of Jesus was revealed in the garden. I don't want to go, Father, I don't want to go, I don't want to suffer this.
04:36because I have to suffer it
04:38And God is silent
04:44And God is silent.
04:48That means that
04:52that we have to wait
04:55waits in silence
04:59and wait
05:00You're probably going through a difficult time.
05:04where you have cried out to God like Jesus in the garden
05:07for your family
05:09some business
05:11and there is only silence
05:15You have to integrate yourself into the silence of God
05:18and in that silence of God
05:20you will find peace
05:21how Jesus found her
05:23in order to face
05:25the silence of God
05:28God's silence is terrible
05:30It's terrible.
05:31I have some students who spend years in that silence.
05:35after having had very intimate conversations with him
05:39suddenly god
05:42He falls silent
05:44and invites us to enter also in silence
05:48to his silence
05:49and wait
05:50with peace
05:52knowing that their silence is also a sign of love
05:56Because God is love.
05:59He can do nothing but love.
06:01I invite you then, my dear brother
06:04to live these three days in silence
06:06today
06:06silence to listen
06:09We need it today
06:10listen to the father and the mother
06:12and above all, listen to God
06:13in writing
06:15but we must also
06:18learn to listen to their silence
06:20when God is silent
06:22when the storm gets big
06:24when the waves overwhelm us
06:28And one cries out desperately to God
06:31And God is silent
06:34how he fell when Jesus
06:37He yelled at her three times
06:38and three times he said
06:42Okay, sir.
06:43As you say
06:47silently
06:50wait
06:51See you tomorrow to continue
06:54silently
06:56blessings
06:58So
06:59and
07:13Thanks for watching the video.
