Primera carta de Sant Pau als cristians de Corint (1Co 13, 1-8a)
Germans: Interesseuvos més pels dons millors. Però ara us indicaré un camí incomparablement més gran.
Si jo parlés els llenguatges dels homes i dels àngels però no estimés, seria com una esquella sorollosa. Si tingués el do de profecia i sabés tots els misteris amagats de Déu, si tingués tanta fe que fos capaç de moure les muntanyes, però no estimés, no seria res.
Si repartís tots els meus béns als pobres i tingués així un motiu de glòria, però no estimés, de res no em serviria.
L’amor és pacient, és bondadós; l’amor no té enveja, no és altiu ni orgullós, no és groller ni interessat, no s’irrita ni es venja; no s’alegra de de la mentida, sinó que troba el goig en la veritat. Tot ho excusa, tot ho creu, tot ho espera, tot ho suporta.
L’amor no passarà mai. Paraula de Déu
SALM 63
Tot jo tinc set de tu,
per tu es desviu el meu cor
en terra eixuta, sense aigua.
L’amor que em tens
és millor que la vida,
per això els meus llavis et lloaran.
Tota la vida jo et beneiré
i alçaré les mans
invocant el teu nom;
saciat del bo i millor,
et lloaré amb el goig als llavis.
Quan des del llit et recordo,
passo les nits pensant en tu,
perquè has estat la meva ajuda.
La meva ànima està unida a tu, em sosté la teva mà.
LECTURA DE L’EVANGELI
Lectura de l’evangeli segons sant Joan (Jn 15, 9-12)
En aquell temps, Jesús digué als seus deixebles: “ Tal com el Pare m’estima, * també jo us estimo a vosaltres. Manteniu-vos en el meu amor. Si guardeu els meus manaments, us mantindreu en el meu amor, tal com jo guardo els manaments del meu Pare i em mantinc en el seu amor.
»Us he dit tot això perquè la meva joia sigui també la vostra, i la vostra joia sigui completa. Aquest és el meu manament: que us estimeu els uns als altres tal com jo us he estimat.”
Paraula del Senyor.
HOMILIA
No es fàcil parlar de nosaltres mateixos i menys quan avui just celebrem que fa 10 anys que en un butifarrasound a la mítica plaça lluis companmys de sant feliu de llobregat va sorgir la guspira que ens ha mantingut units durant tot aquets temps. Aquí cal donar les gracies tant a l’Helena coma l’Oriol, que sempre han estat al nostre costat i, en certa manera, ens han servit d’imatge i reflex del que cal en una parella per seguir endavant.
Els principis van ser tortuosos i es que hi havia molta passió però molts dubtes.
Amb el temps vam aprendre a acceptar-nos l’un a l’altre, a entendre que ja no érem un de sol i que havíem d’apendre a fer les coses en comú.
Descobrir el que a cada un ens agradava, en pensar el que el/la faria feliç si li regalava, si ho compartia amb ell/ella.
Un anell o unes arracades amb forma de N - un sopar romàntic al DAPS - una samarreta o’neil molona, una escapada a un parc de Barcelona, una trobada de Taizè a Roma…. i sempre una data al cap: “el dia 13”, no sols el 13 de Maig, quan celebrem, com avui, un any més junts, sinó el 13 de Novembre ( quan celebrem els mitjos anys) o qualsevol dia 13 per celebrar un mes més l’un al costat de l’altre.
I que hem après al llarg d’aquets 10 anys? A estimar, i estimar no es fàcil, com es diu en la primera lectura : “L’amor és pacient, és bondadós; l’amor no té enveja, no és altiu ni orgullós, 5 no és groller ni interessat, no s’irrita ni es venja; 6 no s’alegra de de la mentida, sinó que troba el goig en la veritat. 7 Tot ho excusa, tot ho creu, tot ho espera, tot ho suporta. 8 L’amor no passarà mai.”
Quina gran veritat, quan vam escollir aquesta lectura es sobretot per com descriu l’amor, ja que no es fàcil de descriure…. l’amor es un regal especial, un record d’unes vacances perduts a la Provença, al bell mig d’una illa, perduts en un racó d’Escocia o en la immensitat de Roma o Istambul, un sopar romàntic, una escapada a un parc de Barcelona,...
Després va venir una segona etapa, la de decidir d’anar a viure junts, ara ja no valia el estar juntets unes horetes, uns dies quan marxàvem de vacances, ara anava de veritat, aguantar-nos l’un a l’altre 24 hores...seriem capaços… i novament, prova superada, en especial gràcies al Seny i la Rauxa ( els nostres gats) i al “savoir faire” de cada un que, a la seva manera, entén, compren i perdona a l’altre ( un per ser del barça, l’altre per ser de l’espanyol).
I es que no es fàcil estimar ja que, tot i que en l’envangeli ens en dona una pista : “ Aquest és el meu manament: que us estimeu els uns als altres tal com jo us he estimat.”
Com saber com Jesús va estimar? Nosaltres ho intentem cada dia, a la nostra manera, amb les nostres virtuts i els nostres defectes i esperem, poder compartir molts anys més a partir d’avui, en el que comencem aquesta nova etapa l’un al costat de l’altre. I es que quina prova pot ser més difícil que la que vam viure fa poc,el “ Tu a Roma i jo a Sant Just”, desprès d’això vam sortir-ne encara més enfortits….
Perquè si preguntem als aquí presents, no podeu imaginar al Manuel sense la Núria o a la Núria sense el Manuel, i això crec que es lo important, que en ves de ser 2 ens diferents, hem aconseguit, en la mesura de lo possible,ser un de sol.
I tinguem present aquesta dada… el primer cop que vam anar a Roma el 2012… un any desprès decidíem anar a viure junts…. el segon cop que vam anar a Roma 2016… un any desprès ens casàvem… que passarà el tercer cop que anem a Roma…. de moment anem a Hawai i Kauai ....
Que Jesús acompanyi aquests joves esposos en l'apassionant camí de créixer en l' amor.
Que Déu us beneeixi!
(Homilia inspirada en les paraules dels esposos )

1 Corinthians 13:1-8 (NIV)
13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
Psalm 63
A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.
1 You, God, are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
where there is no water.
earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
where there is no water.
2 I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.
3 Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
4 I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.
5 I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
and beheld your power and your glory.
3 Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
4 I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.
5 I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
6 On my bed I remember you;
I think of you through the watches of the night.
7 Because you are my help,
I sing in the shadow of your wings.
8 I cling to you;
your right hand upholds me.
I think of you through the watches of the night.
7 Because you are my help,
I sing in the shadow of your wings.
8 I cling to you;
your right hand upholds me.
9 Those who want to kill me will be destroyed;
they will go down to the depths of the earth.
10 They will be given over to the sword
and become food for jackals.
they will go down to the depths of the earth.
10 They will be given over to the sword

11 But the king will rejoice in God;
all who swear by God will glory in him,
while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
all who swear by God will glory in him,
while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
John 15, 9-13
9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
HOMILIA
It
is not easy to talk ourselves especially when we celebrate today than
just 10 years ago in the legendary Plaza Lluis butifarrasound companmys
of Sant Feliu de Llobregat came the spark that has kept us together
during these last time. Here
it is necessary to thank both Helena coma Oriol, who have always been
on our side, and somehow we have helped the image and reflection to be a
partner to move forward.
The principles were crooked and he had a lot of passion but many doubts.
Eventually
we learn to accept ourselves to each other, to understand that you were
not a single one and we had to learn to do things together.
Discover what we each liked to think what / would make you happy if you give, if shared with him / her.
Earrings
or a ring-shaped N - a romantic dinner DAPS - shirts Molon O'Neil, a
trip to a park in Barcelona, a Taizé meeting in Rome .... and
provided a date after "the 13th," not only the 13th of May, when we
celebrate as today, a year together, but on 13 November (when we
celebrate the mid year) or 13th to hold a the month next to each other.
And we have learned during these last 10 years? In love, and love is not easy, as stated in the first reading: "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy, it is not arrogant or proud or rude 5 is concerned, not irritated or revenge; 6 not merely lies, but rejoices in the truth. 7 Even as an excuse, but it believes, expects everything, everything supports. 8 Love never ends. "
What a great truth when we chose this reading as described above for love, because it is not easy to describe .... Love
is a special gift, a reminder of lost vacation in Provence, in the
middle of an island, lost in a corner of Scotland or the immensity of
Rome or Istanbul, a romantic dinner, a trip to a park in Barcelona ...
Then
came the second stage of the decide to live together, no longer be
worth the hours, cooking juntets a few days when holidays were leaving
now was true, hold us to each other 24 ... and hours ... we would be
able to again test passed, especially thanks to the rapture and Sanity
(our cat) and "savoir faire" of each of which in its own way,
understand, buy and forgive the other (to be a Barça, the other being
Spanish).
And
it is not easy to estimate because, although the envangeli gives us a
clue: "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved
you."
How do you know how Jesus loved? We
try to do every day in our own way, our strengths and our flaws and we
hope to share many more years from now in which we begin this new phase
with one another. And
is that what evidence may be more difficult than what we experienced
recently, the "You and I in Rome in Sant Just" After that we go out ...
even stronger.
Because
if we ask here today, you can not imagine Manuel without Nuria or Nuria
without Manuel, and I think that is the important, which go be two us
different, we have succeeded to the extent of the possible, be one.
And bear in mind this fact ... the first time we went to Rome in 2012 ... one year later we decided to live together .... The second time we went to Rome in 2016 ... a year after we married ... that will let the third time in Rome .... currently we Kauai and Hawaii ....
Jesus accompanies these young spouses the exciting way to grow in love.
May God bless you!
(Homily inspired by the words of the spouses)
