In the passage we just read, the disciples were surprised to find that the upper room had already been made ready for them to celebrate the Passover. We are invited to discover here an image of our own hearts, chosen and set aside by the Lord as a place of encounter with him. First, however, we must respond to the Lord\u2019s initiative by preparing our hearts through concrete acts of love, forgiveness and self-giving so that he may come and dwell within us.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>By asking for our cooperation he reminds us that true love \u2014 like the Passion itself \u2014 is not the result of chance, but a conscious and free decision to give of oneself. Let us ask the Lord today to teach us how prepare for his presence and so be able to welcome him, and those around us, into our hearts.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I extend a warm welcome to the English-speaking pilgrims and visitors taking part in today\u2019s Audience, especially those coming from South Africa, Vietnam, Canada and the United States of America. During summer, a time normally set aside for holidays and recreation, let us not neglect the Lord\u2019s invitation to prepare our hearts by activiely participating in the Eucharistic sacrifice and by generous acts of charity.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>God bless you!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>BAM<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was the message that Pope Leo XIV addressed to those present during the weekly audience every Wednesday: \u201cA very valuable verb in Christian life is to prepare.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":758,"featured_media":79697,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27,214],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/5j27JmZn06o","video_descarga":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bncudienza0608eng.mp4","international_url":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bncudienza0608eng.mp4","type":"bn","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79696"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/758"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79696"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79696\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":79700,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79696\/revisions\/79700"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
