today, we are going to tackle a new
00:19
theme in relation to the Heart of Jesus,
00:21
a fairly vast theme.
00:24
Listen carefully to the title:
00:26
The Heart of Jesus,
00:28
place of our beatitude.
00:31
Of our eternal bliss.
00:32
I understand, I do not say only
00:34
of our beatitude here below
00:36
to rest on the heart of Jesus, to
00:38
receive his consolations,
00:40
but really as a place
00:42
where we will live our eternity
00:45
in beatitude.
00:47
That is very mysterious,
00:49
and to begin with,
00:50
I would first like to
00:52
make a comment
00:53
or any other explanation.
00:56
Make two quotes
00:57
from two great men of the Church.
01:01
First of all, the theologian
01:03
Romano Guardini, who
01:05
died in 1968,
01:10
who wrote a book
01:10
called Lord
01:13
Romano Guardini.
01:14
It’s a name that sounds Italian,
01:15
but it was actually German.
01:18
This is what he writes.
01:21
It affects our eternal life.
01:24
The Heart of Jesus will be the space
01:27
which will contain everything.
01:32
Everything will be transparency,
01:34
light.
01:38
Love as a
01:39
permanent state of creation.
01:43
Identity inside
01:46
and out.
01:49
This is what the sky will be.
01:53
In fact, it is well said
01:54
that the Heart of Jesus
01:55
will be this space of Our Beatitude.
01:59
He identifies it with heaven.
02:03
It’s mysterious.
02:07
It was an extraordinary intuition.
02:12
Here too, it touches on transparency.
02:14
Light.
02:15
There will be more opacity.
02:19
And love as a permanent
02:20
state of creation, that is to say,
02:22
only love will remain.
02:25
The extraordinary
02:26
beauty of the new creation,
02:27
which cannot even be imagined,
02:30
is in fact the expression of the radiance,
02:33
the resplendence of love, of charity.
02:36
The identity of the interior
02:38
and the exterior
02:39
there will be no more conflicts
02:41
as Saint Paul says between the interior man,
02:45
the old man and the new man,
02:47
Or between the spirit and the flesh, let’s say.
02:51
This is what the sky will be.
02:54
Now
02:55
I would like to quote John Paul II.
02:58
Here is what he writes to us
02:59
exactly the same, the same theme
03:02
The heart of Christ
03:06
is the vital space of the blessed,
03:09
the place where they remain in the love from
03:12
which they derive an eternal
03:15
and limitless joy .
03:17
The infinite thirst for love, a mysterious thirst
03:21
that God placed in the human heart
03:25
and satisfied in the
03:27
divine heart of Christ.
03:30
So, here too, John Paul II
03:32
speaks of a vital space.
03:33
It’s almost like a place, so it’s not
03:34
a geographic place in the earthly sense.
03:37
But it is still a place,
03:38
a spiritual place.
03:40
“The Heart of Jesus will be the space …”
03:42
forgiveness “the heart of Christ
03:44
is the vital space
03:47
of the blessed,
03:49
the place where they dwell in love,
03:53
with eternal joy, without limit,
03:57
and thirst for everything human heart
04:01
feels.
04:02
the thirst of love,
04:03
an infinite thirst,
04:04
says John Paul II, will be completely filled
04:06
in the divine heart of Christ.
04:08
so where’s the mystery?
04:11
so there is a possible identification
04:13
between heaven and heart Jesus.
04:15
And to put it more precisely,
04:16
between the Heart of Jesus
04:19
and the Jerusalem of heaven,
04:22
place of our beatitude.
04:26
So, you see that we have entered
04:27
a new theme
04:29
and following these two quotes,
04:31
we will approach the theme
04:34
of high priest which is Jesus,
04:36
according to what the Epistle to the Hebrews expresses.
04:39
We will explore the heart of the high priest
04:41
in a scriptural way.
