In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

My Lord and my God, I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me.

I ask your pardon

for my sins

and the grace to make this time of

prayer fruitful.

My immaculate

mother, St. Joseph, my father, and

Lord, my guardian

With your

permission, Lord Jesus Christ, truly present with us in the blessed sacre our conversation with

Jesus is a topic that was very dear to the heart of saint Jose Maria and he gave a celebrated homily in Spain in the late 60s, and it was

titled Passionately Loving the World. Already with the title, we perceive that we are called to

imitate Jesus in his love for humanity that began with the specific humanity

of his immediate family in Nazareth, his colleagues, when he worked as a carpenter, his friends. His contact with humanity exponentially

increased when he went public and gave his sermons and addressed those large crowds and worked

his miracles. We asked the question as we speak to Jesus, what do I do with this

grandiose topic or title, passionately love the world? What am I invited to do? How do I live out this challenge to love the world?

So this love for the world involves what our Holy Father says that we cannot be self-referential.
