Brothers and sisters, Jesus reminds us that the law should not be limited by a long series of precepts or rules, but should be assumed from within, as an expression of gratitude for all that has been received from God. Let us pray.
We want to allow ourselves to be found and touched by the Word of God
• That the Church does not focus on external normative compliance, but seeks to awaken deep attitudes and the docility of heart as a fruit of the free love we receive from God.
We want to allow ourselves to be found and touched by the Word of God
• That we be aware of how oblivion, invisibility, exclusion, offense, insult, contempt, disqualification… are little by little killing the brother.
• We want to allow ourselves to be found and touched by the Word of God
• That we not lack references: men and women capable of living in a key of celebration, welcome, listening, solidarity, commitment, inclusion, respect, peace…
• We want to allow ourselves to be found and touched by the Word of God
• That we listen with our hearts to the word of Jesus who tells us that sincerity and trust are possible, that dignity is not lost and that honesty is a seed of the Kingdom.
We want to allow ourselves to be found and touched by the Word of God
• May all of us celebrating this Eucharist seek the novelty that inspires us, the treasure that delights us, the encounter with God that gives meaning and fullness to our life.
We want to allow ourselves to be found and touched by the Word of God
Good Father Mother, may we rediscover the value of words and gestures in our personal, social, and also ecclesial life, because only in this way will we be seed and leaven of a fraternal and peaceful humanity.
