00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:17,000
What has happened to courtesy, respect, when they go before the infinite Savior as if they were going to a beach?
2
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:35,000
And then immediately after receiving Holy Communion, leaving the Lord without appropriate
3
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:42,040
thanksgiving, something they would not do if they had dessert in a neighbor's house,
4
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:50,680
immediately after they had eaten.
5
00:00:50,680 --> 00:01:00,000
You know, I believe that we're living in a world of broken hearts.
6
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Our hearts are broken.
7
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,880
The heart of Christ is broken.
8
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,480
The Immaculate Heart of Mary is pierced.
9
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,480
Our heart is broken.
10
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:26,980
Small pieces missing out of the side of every human heart.
11
00:01:26,980 --> 00:01:31,880
God kept that in heaven.
12
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:38,980
So we never in this world can love anyone with a whole heart.
13
00:01:38,980 --> 00:01:47,740
The sacred heart is broken because, pierced by our sins.
14
00:01:47,740 --> 00:01:55,640
The immaculate heart, because of her love of her divine son.
15
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,680
How are we going to solve these broken hearts?
16
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:08,340
I think what we have to do is to take our broken hearts to the
17
00:02:08,340 --> 00:02:20,900
Blessed Mother, and ask her to take our hearts in her own into the heart of Christ.
18
00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:29,940
Because Saint Paul says that we are working toward a day when Christ will be complete,
19
00:02:29,940 --> 00:02:37,520
when he will be the totus Christus, then let Mary deliver over our hearts to Christ and
20
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:54,160
And we will have the totus Christus, the whole Christ, the only love in the world.
21
00:02:54,160 --> 00:03:04,840
And finally, the hour.
22
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:12,280
In sacred scripture, God has his day.
23
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:19,440
The devil has his hour.
24
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:29,560
In the Gospel of St. John, the word hour is used seven times.
25
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:42,360
But in every single instance, it refers to evil, the sinfulness of men, the deceit of
26
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:53,480
the devil, so that at the end of the tragic hour of our blessed Lord, he can say to Judas,
27
00:03:53,480 --> 00:04:08,320
This is your hour, and all you can do is just turn out the lights of the world.
28
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:14,360
So the word hour refers always to evil.
29
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:23,160
The first time our Lord used the word hour was at the marriage feast of Cana.
30
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,600
And the Blessed Mother asked him to work a miracle.
31
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:34,840
Now the reason the wine gave out is because our Lord brought all of his disciples.
32
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:43,760
It was the first case of gate crashing in the history of Christianity.
33
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:50,560
And our blessed Lord said to his mother,
34
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,260
my hour has not yet come.
35
00:04:55,260 --> 00:05:00,100
My hour.
36
00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:05,440
Was she to have an hour?
37
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,280
What he's saying to her is,
38
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:13,480
my dear mother, are you asking me to proclaim my divinity?
39
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:21,480
before men as the Messiah and the Son of God, do you realize that the moment I do
40
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:31,440
that, your relationship to me changes? You will then no longer be my mother.
41
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:39,000
You'll be the mother of everyone that I will redeem. So I call you the beautiful
42
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:47,760
name of woman, the universal mother of the world.
43
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:58,300
The next time, the word, or another time, when our Lord used the word our, was at the
44
00:05:58,300 --> 00:06:01,520
Last Supper.
45
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:08,280
And here he refers to his mother.
46
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:10,120
He had already said, my hour.
47
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:20,280
Now he says, when the woman, in our English translation,
48
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:21,800
it is a woman.
49
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,520
No.
50
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,080
In the original Greek, it's the woman.
51
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,280
When the woman is in childbirth, she
52
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:41,760
suffers, because her hour has come.
53
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:49,400
But she rejoices when a child is born into the world.
54
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,440
In other words, and this is something
55
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,960
I had never thought about until I began preparing
56
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,640
this meditation for this Congress.
57
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:07,280
She has a holy hour.
58
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:13,280
Now, the Lord was then speaking about it.
59
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:19,280
Our Lord spoke about that hour on the cross,
60
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,280
when the woman brings forth a child.
61
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:30,280
Our blessed Lord looks down from the cross to his mother,
62
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:43,880
woman, there's your son, John. And to John, there's your mother. Mary at the foot of
63
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:52,960
the cross was the symbol of the church. Our Lord on the cross was the new Adam.
64
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,960
She was the New Eve, the night of the Last Supper.
65
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:03,600
Our blessed Lord spoke about the woman bringing forth children.
66
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:09,680
When her hour comes, now the hour had come.
67
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:15,780
And John stood for all of us that were ever born into the church.
68
00:08:15,780 --> 00:08:22,320
So the Holy Hour, in as much as it is related to our Lord,
69
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:30,320
refers to reconciliation, redemption, forgiveness.
70
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:35,320
The hour in relationship to the Blessed Mother
71
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,320
refers to the Church.
72
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,320
Akushma, birth.
73
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,320
Labor, a child.
74
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:50,320
Pain, joy.
75
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:59,320
In other words, evangelization, conversion, the growth of the Church.
76
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:11,320
The time has come, because we live in a demonic age, to take seriously this holy hour.
77
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:18,320
It's the only thing our blessed Lord ever asked us to do.
78
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,320
ever asked directly as disciples,
79
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:29,320
can you not stay awake one hour with me?
80
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:36,320
Who should make it?
81
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:44,320
Bishops.
82
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:55,320
in an apathetic world so that during that holy hour the blessed Lord will speak to them
83
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,320
as he spoke to Paul at Corinth.
84
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,320
Be courageous.
85
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,320
Be not silent.
86
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,320
Speak out.
87
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,320
I'm with you.
88
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:17,320
I have many in this city who are my friends.
89
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:22,320
Priests,
90
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:28,320
make the holy hour
91
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:35,320
that it may be a sacramental sign of our victimhood.
92
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,320
Would you have power on the pulpit?
93
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:43,320
Would you be able to console the sick?
94
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,320
Would you make converts?
95
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,320
And spend the hour with our Lord,
96
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,320
and when you mount the pulpit,
97
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,320
you'll shoot for a spark,
98
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,320
and the people will love you.
99
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:05,320
Applause
100
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:18,520
Sisters, you wonderful women who bear a visible sign of your union with Christ,
101
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:25,720
make the holy hour and understand how much the children in schools are
102
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,240
yearning for you to come back.
103
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:55,400
Married couples make the holy hour to make up for an abortion every 30 seconds and prove
104
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,400
that the Lord is the Lord of life and not of death.
105
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:13,400
All of you who are engaged in social work,
106
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:20,200
treating humanity in any form, make the holy hour.
107
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:34,400
Believe me, when you begin to see the invisible Christ behind that visible sign of bread,
108
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:44,560
you will soon begin to see in the poor and the naked the invisible Christ whom they represent.
109
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:50,680
That's the vision that makes Mother Teresa one of the leaders of the world in the love
110
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:51,680
of the poor.
111
00:12:51,680 --> 00:13:14,440
And you young people, young men and young women, do not believe that the joy of life
112
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:26,480
life consists in a titillation of the flesh, but see that love is sacrificial, and when
113
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:35,600
you make a holy hour, then you'll begin to understand that the real rock is Peter, and
114
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,240
and the gates of hell shall not prevail.
115
00:13:39,240 --> 00:14:02,920
Everyone, make the holy hour, and you will discover as you leave the divine presence
116
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:13,600
that as you move among people in the world they will say of you as the maid
117
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:29,480
said of Peter, you have been with Christ. And then at the end of a lifetime spent
118
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:36,560
in adoration of the Lord and in love of the Blessed Mother of the Blessed
119
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:48,640
Sacrament, when you come before the Lord, do you know what he'll say to you? He
120
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:56,960
will say, I heard my mother speak of you.
121
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:18,400
Through Mary, the Lord has made his salvation known.
122
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:27,760
With her, beg him to reveal his justice to the nations and to remember his kindness toward
123
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:34,760
the house of Israel.
124
00:16:40,140 --> 00:16:41,960
Rejoice,
125
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,160
O highly favoured daughter,
126
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,680
the Lord is with you.
127
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,880
Be with your church, Lord.
128
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,920
Fill her members
129
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,240
with the grace
130
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,720
and faith of Mary,
131
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:14,160
our mother. We pray to you Lord. Blessed are you among women. Reveal your justice in the
132
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:26,300
sight of the nations and grant them rebirth through Mary as your adopted children. We
133
00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:32,460
We pray to you, Lord.
134
00:17:32,460 --> 00:17:36,100
Do not fear, Mary.
135
00:17:36,100 --> 00:17:42,260
You have found favour with God.
136
00:17:42,260 --> 00:17:53,780
Send the Holy Spirit upon us to be the first to hope in Christ and respond faithfully to
137
00:17:53,780 --> 00:18:11,040
his call. We pray to you Lord. The Holy Spirit will come upon you. Overshadow with your power
138
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:23,060
our brothers and sisters who suffer in body or spirit. Strengthen those who bear the injustices
139
00:18:23,060 --> 00:18:26,380
of this world.
140
00:18:26,380 --> 00:18:32,460
We pray to you, Lord.
141
00:18:32,460 --> 00:18:43,340
The holy offspring to be born will be called Son of God.
142
00:18:43,340 --> 00:18:52,180
Enlighten every heart and conscience to treasure life from its inception.
143
00:18:52,180 --> 00:19:02,540
our sins against the dignity and life of any member of the human family.
144
00:19:02,540 --> 00:19:07,980
We pray to you, Lord.
145
00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:13,500
I am the maidservant of the Lord.
146
00:19:13,500 --> 00:19:19,500
Let it be done to me as you say.
147
00:19:19,500 --> 00:19:30,360
Make us faithful children of Mary, generous in accepting your gifts and in sharing them
148
00:19:30,360 --> 00:19:33,800
with every neighbour.
149
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:45,320
We pray to you, Lord.
150
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:54,680
We praise you, our God and Father, who have predestined us, through Christ Jesus, to be
151
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,860
your adopted children.
152
00:19:57,860 --> 00:20:06,380
With Mary, the mother of the new creation, let the nations of the earth put their hope
153
00:20:06,380 --> 00:20:13,660
in him and to praise your glory now and forever and ever.
154
00:20:13,660 --> 00:20:14,160
Amen.
155
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:25,500
Through him, with him, in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
156
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:29,660
all glory and honor is yours, almighty Father,
157
00:20:29,660 --> 00:20:31,140
forever and ever.
158
00:20:31,140 --> 00:20:31,640
Amen.
159
00:21:06,380 --> 00:21:30,380
Let us pray with confidence to the Father in the words our Savior gave us.
160
00:21:30,380 --> 00:21:41,380
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
161
00:21:41,380 --> 00:21:51,380
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
162
00:21:51,380 --> 00:21:56,380
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
163
00:21:56,380 --> 00:22:02,380
Deliver us, Lord, from every evil and grant us peace in our day.
164
00:22:02,380 --> 00:22:09,380
In your mercy, keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety
165
00:22:09,380 --> 00:22:17,380
as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
166
00:22:17,380 --> 00:22:22,380
For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and forever.
167
00:22:22,380 --> 00:22:27,380
Lord Jesus Christ, you said to your Apostles,
168
00:22:27,380 --> 00:22:29,380
I leave you peace.
169
00:22:29,380 --> 00:22:32,380
My peace I give you.
170
00:22:32,380 --> 00:22:38,380
Look not on our sins, but on the faith of your church,
171
00:22:38,380 --> 00:22:42,380
and grant us the peace and unity of your kingdom,
172
00:22:42,380 --> 00:22:46,380
where you live forever and ever.
173
00:22:46,380 --> 00:22:48,380
Amen.
174
00:22:48,380 --> 00:22:52,880
The peace of the Lord be with you always.
175
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,880
And also with you.
176
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:59,380
And on this blessed and most historic occasion,
177
00:22:59,380 --> 00:23:04,380
in the full spirit of joy of Christ and the love of Mary,
178
00:23:04,380 --> 00:23:09,880
may we exchange with each other a sign of friendship and peace.
179
00:23:48,380 --> 00:24:02,380
Have mercy on us, Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world.
180
00:24:02,380 --> 00:24:16,380
Have mercy on us, Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world.
181
00:24:16,380 --> 00:24:23,380
Thou must be our guide.
182
00:24:25,380 --> 00:24:31,380
When the clouds in the wind
183
00:24:31,380 --> 00:24:35,380
Have seen the moon
184
00:24:35,380 --> 00:24:40,380
And blessed the moon
185
00:24:40,380 --> 00:24:45,380
And the cloud restrained its way
186
00:24:45,380 --> 00:24:54,360
But we live from the Word, and let us live as one.
187
00:24:54,360 --> 00:25:00,340
Let us walk with faith in one another,
188
00:25:00,340 --> 00:25:08,320
but we live from the Word, and let us live as one.
189
00:25:15,380 --> 00:25:33,380
God, you take away the sins of the world.
190
00:25:33,380 --> 00:25:47,740
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world. Have mercy on us
191
00:25:47,740 --> 00:26:02,740
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world.
192
00:26:02,740 --> 00:26:09,740
Have mercy on us
193
00:26:34,740 --> 00:26:39,740
Land of God, you take away
194
00:26:39,740 --> 00:26:44,740
the sins of the world.
195
00:26:44,740 --> 00:26:48,740
I've lost me own heart.
196
00:26:48,740 --> 00:26:53,740
Land of God, you take away
197
00:26:53,740 --> 00:26:58,740
the sins of the world. Grant us peace
198
00:26:58,740 --> 00:27:05,740
This is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world. Grant us peace
199
00:27:28,740 --> 00:27:35,740
 happy are those who are called to his supper.
200
00:27:35,740 --> 00:27:43,740
Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.
201
00:28:58,740 --> 00:29:03,740

202
00:29:03,740 --> 00:29:08,740

206
00:29:23,740 --> 00:29:38,740
You satisfy the hungry heart, you heal the wounded knee.
207
00:29:38,740 --> 00:29:50,740
Come give to us, O Savior, the bread of life to eat.
208
00:29:50,740 --> 00:30:04,740
Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
209
00:30:04,740 --> 00:30:17,740
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
210
00:30:17,740 --> 00:30:22,740
Satisfy my lonely heart
211
00:30:22,740 --> 00:30:27,740
With the image of my beauty
212
00:30:27,740 --> 00:30:33,740
I'll give you my soul if you want
213
00:30:33,740 --> 00:30:39,740
The breath of my beauty
214
00:30:39,740 --> 00:30:49,780

to Thee we raise our song of praise,
