00:00Well then, we continue brother, sister, with this series of our topics, our material from your family, my family, our family.
00:24In the previous section we saw the importance of family, its relevance, and how important it is to honor our parents.
00:35We saw that God does not forget all those little things that in the end turn out to be great displays of love that we return to our parents.
00:48And well, let's continue. So, we agreed that we are now a new family.
00:54And with that comes becoming independent from the families where we were born.
00:58But this does not mean that we will no longer see them and that we simply no longer depend on them.
01:06We need to feel free to make our own decisions.
01:10Of course, with our parents' advice, but we're the ones making the decisions.
01:15In marriage, we must practice a lot of marital dialogue and good communication in order to achieve harmonious relationships.
01:29We will avoid any situation where we have a misunderstanding with our in-laws, so that this can be an obstacle to harmony and happiness in our home.
01:40Both families of origin are equally important.
01:45We can't say, my family is better and yours, ellipsis.
01:54I believe that here we need to avoid making some comparisons, to make distinctions between families.
02:03Rather, we should recognize and rescue the positive aspects, the qualities, the virtues that each family has.
02:12And for that, more than anything, to build a good relationship between us and our in-laws.
02:18We need to get along with our in-laws so that we can truly create a warm, respectful environment where love exists.
02:28Look, Laura was just talking about those small, big decisions that you, today boyfriends, tomorrow husbands, are starting to make.
02:40On this path is the altar. You are preparing right now for that great event, right?, which is arriving at the altar.
02:46It is also possible that they are preparing some kind of reception to share there with their friends and family.
02:54And you are already starting to make those decisions.
02:58Laura was just talking about the great value of families, right?
03:04Today, for example, your sister is going to see your dress and the flowers for the church.
03:11And all this stuff involving preparing for your wedding, well, you listen to your mom's comments,
03:19You also hear your mother-in-law's comments, because I'm sure that if you invite her and take her along...
03:25So, you put all those comments together, why? So they can help you make the best decision.
03:34Likewise, I know you, brother, that you are preparing and perhaps working to make the savings that are needed.
03:43to carry out this marriage. And also listen to your dad's advice, who is telling you,
03:50Hey, son, this way, son, that way. Likewise, when you go to visit your girlfriend,
03:56Your father-in-law asks you, "Hey, how are you doing?" "Well, we're getting there." "And what are you doing?" "Well, I'm doing this."
04:02Hey, be careful with this, pay attention. Your father-in-law is involved too.
04:06Your father-in-law is also participating in those comments.
04:09And how do those comments help you? They help you form a good decision.
04:15A decision you must make in the company and hand in hand with your girlfriend today.
04:22Remember that, tomorrow your wife.
04:25We cannot ignore that great lesson we learned about honoring our parents.
04:31And listening to them is a way of honoring them, it's a way of acknowledging them.
04:37the great importance they have for us, their parents and my parents.
04:44Yes? That's why we need to start uniting those families.
04:49We need to start working so that we can be a very strong family.
04:53And we see it as Saint Paul tells us in his letter to the Ephesians.
04:59Ephesians chapter 6, verses 2-3.
05:03Honor your father and your mother.
05:06Such is the first commandment that carries with it a promise, namely,
05:10so that you may be happy and enjoy a long life on earth.
05:13Notice, he mentions again the honor, the importance of honoring our parents.
05:21And as I was saying just now, we are also showing that honor when we listen to them.
05:28The job of a father never ends.
05:31Dads are always present.
05:34Parents will always want what's best for each of us.
05:39They will always be on the lookout.
05:41Why? Because they want you to be happy.
05:44Because they want you to have a happy, loving, and stable marriage.
05:48That's why dads will always be present and involved.
05:53For example, nowadays.
05:55You can say, no, well, I'm going with my dad,
05:58Well, because we both support a football team.
06:02Tigres or Rayados or whoever.
06:04And we share and we go and perhaps we have this habit or tradition of years past.
06:11And you'll continue to have it.
06:12You don't have to stop having it.
06:15And you, sister, for example, say, no, well, I like going with my mom,
06:20Well, we go to H&B because we like to look for the right shapes.
06:25because we like to make lots of oatmeal cookies.
06:29So, you have that habit of doing it with your mom and you're going to keep doing it.
06:33And in those activities, in that day-to-day life we share with our parents,
06:39We are listening to you, we are listening to your way of thinking, your recommendation.
06:45Remember, this path that you are beginning to walk,
06:52It is a path that our parents have already walked, they have already started it.
06:57Therefore, having started it earlier, they already have experience.
07:02They already have expertise.
07:04And what is your wish?
07:06Share with us the experience they have.
07:10Share with us what they have learned, yes, from successes, but also from mistakes.
07:16And the comment that your dad is going to make to you, that your mom is going to make to you,
07:20It will always be with the aim of making things go well for you, in the best way possible.
07:27Because they will always want what's best for you, they will always want what's best for us.
07:31Now, what you are learning from them right now,
07:34Tomorrow, you will share it and pass it on to the children God gives you.
07:40So, it's an experience, it's a learning process that we're going to keep building on.
07:47Because tomorrow we will be using it all the time.
07:54And so we see it, which is referenced in the book of Proverbs,
07:58with the quote from chapter 6, verses 20 to 22.
08:03My son, keep your father's commandment, and do not forsake your mother's teaching.
08:11Bind them continually on your heart, tie them around your neck.
08:15When you walk, they will call for you. When you sleep, they will watch over you.
08:20And when you wake up, they will speak to you.
08:23Here, as Emilio was just saying, what a great source of pride,
08:27We should feel super proud of our parents,
08:29When we think back on all the countless situations we've experienced, right?
08:35Many, as we were discussing earlier, joys, sorrows,
08:38but they have always been with us,
08:41because they wanted to be a part of our lives,
08:47They will be our guides at all times.
08:50So, what can we do? I mean, how many things have we shared together?
08:55In other words, hobbies, preferences, tastes.
08:59I love talking to my mom; there has always been a lot of respect between us.
09:04Also, accompanying my dad, talking, the…
09:09Let them tell us their stories, the anecdotes they have.
09:13And from there we too create stories that we too will later tell.
09:18So, I think we need to recognize and value the great effort our parents have made.
09:25Since we were little, all the care we've received, the education, the respect,
09:31all the values they have taught us.
09:34I always tell my children that I'm not very good with technology.
09:39And right now there are times like that when I need something, oh, mom, I already told you.
09:43I mean, suddenly they make a kind of long face or something and they seem desperate.
09:47I tell them, hey, little one, remember how many times when you were little you asked me something
09:54And I had to answer you.
09:56Of course, now many times, in a mocking way, when I do something to them, they give me a long face or something.
10:01And then I'm going to start giving them the sermon, and they start saying, "Oh, yes, Mom, right?"
10:05As you taught us, I tell them, I taught them to speak, to walk, to eat,
10:10They were dropping their food, getting dressed, everything, right?
10:14So, that's how we gradually realize it, but many times we don't realize it until we become parents.
10:21And truly value everything from the simplest things that may seem insignificant to the greatest things.
10:28So, we need to be patient, just like they were with us when we were little.
10:34And so we will see it in Proverbs, chapter 17, verse 6.
10:42Grandchildren are a crown to the aged, and parents are the glory of their children.
10:50Perhaps our life today, for many of us, is already work-related,
10:59Well, he's presenting us with a series of successes in the professional field,
11:06a series of perhaps economic successes.
11:11And well, how wonderful, how wonderful that you are blessed in that way, right?
11:16But also this world of today, which fills us with many activities
11:25And we became social activists, because we didn't want to miss any social events.
11:32Yeah?
11:33And it's not wrong for us to go to social events.
11:35The point there is that we cannot afford, we cannot allow that absorption
11:44the world should take away the time we need to spend with our parents,
11:54to the care we must take with them, to the attention we must give them.
11:59Laura was just saying, right?, how much we mothers have learned from that, well, that's how much we've learned.
12:05We have learned everything: to walk, to talk, to eat.
12:10So, she dedicated a lot of time to us, children, babies, well,
12:15we could get through that moment when we were completely defenseless.
12:21Who took care of us? Our mom.
12:23And how much time, how many things, how many moments, how many situations did he dedicate to it?
12:29Mom gave up everything to have you, brother, to have you, sister.
12:38for taking care of you, for protecting you, for feeding you, for teaching you,
12:43for giving you all their love in each of those activities.
12:47So, for that reason, we cannot neglect that care and that gratitude.
12:54Remember, this is a very important premise.
12:59Love is repaid with love.
13:02Love is repaid with love.
13:04And we saw it in the first few dates we saw,
13:08God does not forget the good we do for our parents.
13:12He doesn't forget it.
13:14He doesn't forget it, why?
13:16Because he has it in his heart.
13:17Why does she hold it in her heart?
13:19Because they are expressions of our love for our parents.
13:24How many examples of love do you have in your heart that you received from your father or your mother?
13:30Try to remember.
13:32I assure you that your heart is overflowing from those moments, from those situations.
13:37How many happy moments have you spent with your dad watching your team win the championship?
13:42Now that we've had streaks where the teams here are winning.
13:47Didn't you enjoy them with him?
13:49You didn't live together, you didn't share that joy.
13:54So, that's in your heart.
13:57Share that.
13:58And that's why I was saying, love is repaid with love.
14:01Let's see what Mark tells us, chapter 7, verses 9 to 13.
14:08He also told them, "You cleverly violate God's commandment in order to keep your tradition."
14:14For Moses said, honor your father and your mother, and whoever speaks evil of his father or his mother, let him be put to death.
14:20But you say, if a man says to his father or mother, 'Anything of mine that you could benefit from,' it is Corban.
14:28In other words, an offering to God.
14:29You no longer allow him to do anything for his father or mother, thus nullifying the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down.
14:39And you do many things like these.
14:42See? That's what we were just talking about.
14:44We cannot let these world situations absorb us.
14:48It's very important to keep an eye on that.
14:50Yeah?
14:51Of the honor we owe to our parents.
14:53We have been repeating this word and we will continue to repeat it because we want to always keep it in mind.
15:00Yeah?
15:01Well, we invite you to continue with us in this next video.
15:08But before I say to you, honor your father and your mother.
15:12And the premise we were just mentioning.
15:15Love is repaid with love.
15:18Brothers, blessings.
15:19See you in a bit.
15:20We're back.
15:21We're back.
