00:00This week from the Word of God
00:04At that time, the shepherds hurried to Bethlehem and found Mary, Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger.
00:21After seeing him, they told what they had been told about that child, and all who heard them were amazed.
00:32Mary, for her part, treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
00:39The shepherds returned to their fields, praising and glorifying God for all they had seen and heard, just as it had been announced to them.
00:56When the eight days were completed, they circumcised the child and named him Jesus, the same name that the angel had spoken before the child was conceived.
01:09A great party that we celebrate today.
01:18And this celebration, as I told you at the beginning, is not exactly for the New Year, but what we celebrate is the feast of Divine Motherhood.
01:30This festival has not always been in this place, that is, it has not always been celebrated on January 1st.
01:41but it has been moving through different periods of the Church to different times of the celebration within the year.
01:50It was not until Paul VI, with Maria Liscultus, that Marian worship was reorganized,
02:00And then he will place Our Blessed Mother at the beginning of the year as a sign,
02:08as a sign to show us who she is within the Church.
02:13Maria is like a beacon of light.
02:19If we read above all the theology of John,
02:23We will find how Mary appears illuminating the entire path of God's people.
02:29From that woman Eve, to whom it is promised that the Savior will come through a woman,
02:38until the Apocalypse, where this woman appears in the sky, surrounded by stars, her head with two stars,
02:47And this woman is none other than the Blessed Virgin Mary, who illuminates our entire path.
02:55That is why, throughout the history of the Church, it has been given different names,
03:04ways of calling it, and perhaps one that would be very appropriate today would be Stella Maris, the star of the sea.
03:15And that's because, especially in other times, when people sailed at sea,
03:20Today people still navigate, but now they use more than just the compass.
03:25but instruments controlled by satellites are used.
03:30But when all this technology didn't exist, not even the compass,
03:34They were heading, the sailors, using a very bright star.
03:38that they used as a point of reference,
03:42And so they could steer the ship with greater certainty.
03:47In the darkness appears this starfish that guides our lives.
03:56And today I would like us to focus our attention, our lives,
04:03our gaze on this Stella Maris, on this starfish,
04:09Because she is the one who can take us, lead us, guide us to safe harbor.
04:14And for that to happen, something needs to happen within us.
04:20which must first happen through Jesus,
04:25But ordinarily it should be through Jesus,
04:29but it can also be through her,
04:32the personal encounter with Jesus.
04:34Pope John Paul II, of blessed memory, also said,
04:42He once said, when all the leaders of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal were present,
04:48I was telling them,
04:49It is essential that modern man have an open-eyed encounter
04:56and a beating heart with the resurrected one.
05:00An encounter with open eyes and a beating heart with the resurrected Jesus.
05:07And so, throughout the history of our people, the people of God,
05:15We see how, as time goes by, our relationship with the Lord deteriorates.
05:23even that of all of us.
05:26Our interactions with the world erode our relationship with Him.
05:30And it is necessary that we have this encounter with Him continually,
05:36especially when we find ourselves in the state of the Church
05:40before the Second Vatican Council, 1962,
05:44and we could still extend it a little further to the beginning of the last century,
05:51where we lived in a traditionalist church.
05:54People came to Mass to celebrate in Latin,
05:58something that very few people knew,
06:00And if they knew, they only knew the answers.
06:04From what I can see, it seems to me that nobody here,
06:09Or perhaps someone still had to celebrate in Latin
06:13with the altar against the back and the priest celebrating with his back turned.
06:19It seems most of them are younger than me.
06:23So, it's possible that they didn't experience this time of year.
06:28The Vatican Council, through its various encyclicals,
06:34but mainly from the Sacrosantum Concilium,
06:37That is the name of this encyclical, this document,
06:40where it is changed and put in Spanish or in the vernacular language,
06:45and it is changed to give it, therefore, a much fuller meaning,
06:50especially in the sense of dinner.
06:53That is why the altar now looks more like a table.
06:56It's a sacrifice, but it's also dinner.
07:00This traditionalist church, therefore, needed to be aired out.
07:04Saint John XXIII will say, he will say,
07:08open the doors and windows of the church
07:11so that the fresh air of the Spirit may circulate through it again.
07:16And so Saint John Paul II invited everyone to have this encounter,
07:22so that Jesus would cease to be merely a painting,
07:25a pointless celebration,
07:28a series of rituals that did not lead us to the vast majority of the people,
07:33to holiness.
07:34We still suffer from some of this today,
07:38And that's why today I would also like to introduce you to
07:40the encounter with the Virgin Mary.
07:44Today we have seen in today's Gospel
07:46how the shepherds met Jesus and Mary.
07:53And if we read the Gospel of Matthew,
07:56we will find, in a different theology,
07:59We are going to find the meeting of the Three Wise Men
08:02or of these wise men from the East,
08:03We call them the Three Wise Men.
08:06We'll see a little bit of this at the Epiphany festival.
08:12These men who came from the East
08:14They also have an encounter with Jesus and Mary.
08:18And this encounter will transform the lives of the shepherds.
08:23and it will transform the lives of these men from the East.
08:27It is an encounter of open eyes and beating heart
08:31where some discover their king and others the king of the world.
08:38A meeting where they experience a profound spiritual experience.
08:43It is an encounter that unites the mystery of Jesus and the mystery of Mary.
08:51That is why we have read today, as a second reading,
08:55This letter to the Galatians in chapter 4,
08:57in verse 4 and following,
08:59where it tells us that God sent his son
09:03through a woman born under the law
09:06to rescue all of us who lived under the law.
09:10And thus it becomes clear that there is an inseparable union
09:15between the mystery of Jesus and the mystery of Mary.
09:21When we separate the mysteries,
09:24then we enter, or can easily enter, into confusion.
09:29In the Middle Ages, especially in the Late Middle Ages,
09:32we would already find this confusion.
09:35We would see how the iconography, that is,
09:37the paintings that we see in many old churches,
09:42They present us with images of Mary
09:44and on the other hand images of Jesus,
09:46but especially those of Mary
09:48They no longer represent that village woman,
09:53to that poor woman from Nazareth,
09:56that woman who is the mother of the Messiah,
09:59but they introduce us to the great queen,
10:02which it is, certainly it is.
10:03That is why in the Rosary we speak of the coronation.
10:07But we have to unite her with the King,
10:13Because if not, then we don't know anymore.
10:15neither who Mary is, nor who Jesus is.
10:18That's why it's a mystery that we can't unravel.
10:23And this means that if I truly encounter Jesus,
10:26I'm going to go to Maria, I have to.
10:31Because otherwise, I wouldn't be able to understand who she is.
10:35And on the other hand, if I meet Jesus,
10:39It will inevitably lead me to Maria,
10:41And if I meet Mary, she will lead me to Jesus.
10:44because I cannot separate.
10:45It's a complete mystery.
10:47It is the mystery of the incarnation.
10:48It's one of those things that we don't clearly understand.
10:53but that Sacred Scripture helps us to shed light on.
10:58That's why I sometimes tell them a little,
11:00They're joking,
11:01But something like that will most likely happen.
11:07I tell you that the Protestant,
11:09the separated brothers,
11:10our evangelical brothers,
11:12They're going to die twice.
11:14Once they are going to die,
11:18Well, I don't know, about anything.
11:19They get sick with X thing,
11:22They crash, they have an accident,
11:24a stick falls on their heads,
11:25I don't know, anything.
11:26and they die.
11:29And well, in general,
11:31most or many of the separated brothers as well
11:34They lead an impeccable Christian life.
11:37Then they'll get to heaven too.
11:40But when they enter heaven,
11:42They're going to die again.
11:45They're going to have a heart attack when they see Maria.
11:49surrounded by angels,
11:51together with our Lord Jesus Christ,
11:54and say to our Lord,
11:55Say hello to your queen.
11:57They're going to have a heart attack.
11:59They're going to die again.
12:05This sometimes tells us about how his theology
12:08and how his study of Christ,
12:11especially in what are called sects,
12:13They don't really study Jesus.
12:16Because if they studied it,
12:19They would have to reach Maria.
12:23Because, otherwise,
12:25Who is Jesus' mother?
12:28Who is it?
12:36Well, that's perfectly clear, isn't it?
12:38Gospel of Matthew,
12:40Gospel of Luke.
12:43There it is.
12:45I can't get it out of there.
12:49It is a fundamental part of the mystery.
12:52That would lead us to other topics,
12:55not only in the area of motherhood,
12:57which is what we celebrate today,
12:59but what all this implies
13:01for the church, motherhood.
13:05And that's why, imagine they went too far
13:07four centuries,
13:09up to 431,
13:11at the Council of Ephesus,
13:13There was a huge argument.
13:15what Jesus was,
13:17true God, true man,
13:19how a man is God,
13:22In short, all these kinds of topics.
13:24And this, obviously,
13:25because it caused confusion
13:26And Arius said, right?
13:28And other heretics said,
13:30No, it's not the Theotokos.
13:33In other words, she is not the mother of God.
13:36because God does not have,
13:37she can't have a mother,
13:38because it is eternal,
13:40is uncreated.
13:42And of course, all this creates confusion.
13:44TRUE?
13:45And then they would say,
13:46It is not the Theotokos,
13:47His name is Cristotocos,
13:49that is to say,
13:50She is the mother of Christ.
13:52And what is Christ?
13:53Who is Christ?
13:55Finally, the council goes ahead,
13:58above all,
13:59with some brilliant ideas
14:00of Saint Irenaeus,
14:02He's going to say the following,
14:04Jesus,
14:06Maria,
14:06She is the mother of God
14:08as to his incarnation.
14:11God is eternal,
14:15but in his incarnation
14:18has a mother,
14:20because I cannot separate
14:22bye
14:23of Christ,
14:24because Christ is true God.
14:27And that's how it's defined
14:28at the Council of Ephesus,
14:30that Jesus is true God
14:31and true man,
14:32and the festival is instituted
14:34which we celebrate today,
14:35where they are recorded
14:37the two mysteries,
14:39Therefore,
14:40How important!
14:41my brothers,
14:43especially when perhaps
14:44we have not been able to
14:45to have a meeting
14:46with deep Christ,
14:48that we could also
14:50to have it with our
14:51Holy Mother.
14:53Luis María Grignon said
14:54de Montfort,
14:55the shortest path,
14:57listen,
14:59the shortest path
15:00and safer
15:02to reach God,
15:05to reach God,
15:07It's Maria.
15:10A person who has
15:12a deep relationship
15:14with her,
15:15in which Mary
15:16it's not simply
15:17a small square,
15:18an image,
15:20but it is truly
15:21a mother,
15:22a friend,
15:23a colleague
15:24on the way,
15:26a teacher,
15:27Mother and Teacher,
15:29will appoint her
15:29Paul VI
15:30in the end
15:31of the Second Vatican Council,
15:33Mother and Teacher,
15:35mother and teacher,
15:38who does
15:39this meeting
15:41with her,
15:42will ensure
15:43their path
15:44of holiness,
15:46She's going to go
15:47driving
15:47through
15:48of
15:49the road,
15:51Wake,
15:52Maris,
15:53And that's because
15:55she,
15:55my brothers,
15:56It is the model
15:57of faith,
15:59of hope
16:00and of charity,
16:03And that's why
16:04Saint John Paul II
16:07puts
16:08to our
16:09Most Holy Mother
16:11as a model
16:12at the beginning
16:13of the year,
16:15so that?
16:16So that we
16:17Let's imitate her,
16:19and so that she
16:20guide us
16:21in the middle
16:21from this darkness
16:23especially
16:24today
16:24in the world
16:25modern
16:26it becomes dense
16:27and it is done
16:28dangerous,
16:29so that we
16:30Let's hold hands
16:31at the beginning
16:31of this year
16:32and let's walk
16:33with her.
16:35Maria is going
16:36to teach
16:37along
16:37of this year
16:38if you like,
16:40if you interact
16:41with her,
16:42He's going to teach you
16:43to have faith.
16:45I was telling him
16:46recently
16:47to some friends,
16:49nobody knows
16:50the dimension
16:50of his faith
16:51until it has
16:52a crisis.
16:54The day
16:55that loses
16:55the work,
16:56the day
16:57that loses
16:57a son,
16:58to the wife,
17:00to the father,
17:01the day
17:01into which we enter
17:02in a crisis
17:03deep,
17:04then we can
17:05dimension
17:06our faith.
17:08That's where
17:09you know
17:09how much
17:10Do you believe in God?
17:13Most Holy Mary
17:14It is the model
17:16of faith.
17:17Maria has
17:18continuously
17:19that jump
17:19into arms
17:20of God
17:20and believe
17:21and wait.
17:24When Joseph
17:25does not understand
17:25the mystery,
17:27she has
17:27what to believe.
17:29You have to believe
17:31that God
17:31He's going to help her.
17:34the va
17:34to take out
17:35of that
17:36problem
17:36in which
17:37she doesn't
17:38put in.
17:41Us,
17:42I was telling you today
17:42at first
17:43of the mass,
17:44we face
17:45in 2021
17:46complicated.
17:48It's not going to be
17:50easy
17:50this year
17:51neither.
17:52They're ending again
17:53to close ourselves off
17:53the churches.
17:55Sample
17:55that COVID
17:56has resumed
17:57force.
17:59In Spain,
18:00in France,
18:01in Italy,
18:02it is spoken
18:02of the new ones
18:03waves
18:04of the disease,
18:06we are told
18:07of a resurgence
18:08different
18:09in England.
18:11And if that weren't enough
18:12the whole issue
18:13from COVID,
18:14well this year
18:15we will have
18:15the elections
18:16larger
18:17of our history,
18:18where we will have
18:19what to decide
18:20the path
18:20that we will continue.
18:22And suddenly
18:23I find myself
18:24with people
18:24in which the night
18:26it becomes deep
18:27and believes that's not the case
18:28We have a way out now.
18:29for those who believe
18:31in God,
18:32for the one who has
18:33faith,
18:34There is always a way out,
18:36There is always a way
18:37for those
18:38who have faith.
18:40And when we
18:41We see Mary
18:41and when we
18:43we held hands
18:44to Mary,
18:45She's going to lead us
18:46along
18:47of this year
18:48with faith
18:48and we're doing well
18:50to help
18:51to wait
18:52a hope
18:54which is not
18:55a hope
18:56passive.
18:56Saint Paul says
18:58which is a hope
19:00active.
19:02This year
19:02We have to wait
19:04a change,
19:05but a change
19:06that requires
19:06of all of us.
19:08It requires
19:09that we use
19:10our face mask
19:11if we are
19:11less than a
19:1350 of the people,
19:14that if we go out
19:15of the house
19:16Let's take it,
19:17that we sanitize ourselves,
19:19that we don't get together
19:20a lot
19:20on the topic
19:21parties
19:22and all this,
19:23that we be careful
19:24and we can expect
19:26a change
19:27Because there is hope.
19:29active
19:30and God
19:30in that hope
19:31act.
19:34We have hope
19:35active,
19:36we want a better
19:36Mexico,
19:37We want a Mexico
19:38with more progress,
19:40with better health,
19:41with more jobs,
19:43a Mexico
19:44where there is
19:44less violence,
19:46more peace
19:47in families,
19:48better laws.
19:50We have to leave
19:51to vote
19:51in July.
19:53A hope
19:54active,
19:55We expect changes,
19:57the changes
19:58God makes them
19:59through us
20:00and Mary
20:01It teaches us
20:02to wait
20:03actively
20:04when
20:05it is lost
20:06the child
20:07in the temple,
20:08Well, Maria
20:09could have said
20:09Well, God
20:10I fixed it
20:10how has he fixed
20:11other things,
20:12Let's go, José.
20:13Let's go back home,
20:14later
20:15Jesus will come
20:16or perhaps
20:17that's where it begins
20:18their mission,
20:19No,
20:20it was still
20:21a little boy.
20:23Let's go find him.
20:24three days
20:25looking for it,
20:26but looking for it
20:28with peace,
20:29with joy,
20:31with a hope
20:32active,
20:32God is going to help us.
20:33to help
20:34to find it.
20:37And Mary
20:38It is the model
20:38of charity.
20:41Maria
20:41it is presented
20:42like the model
20:44of the service.
20:45and if we want
20:47truly
20:48change
20:48our society,
20:50if we want
20:50truly
20:51identify ourselves
20:52as Christians,
20:54We have to learn
20:55of Mary
20:55the service,
20:57however
20:58of being

23:55about abortion,
23:56about the
23:57homosexuality,
23:58about life,
24:00about so many topics
24:01which are
24:02well

25:22I would like to finish
25:23this moment
25:25for reflection
25:25with you
25:26with the prayer
25:27oldest
25:28that is in the Church
25:29after the Lord's Prayer.
25:31The Lord's Prayer
25:32He showed it to us
25:33our lord
25:34Christ.
25:35But the second
25:36oldest prayer
25:37which probably
25:39was written
25:39before the year
25:40200,
25:41it is estimated
25:42that around
25:42of the year
25:44180
25:44has been written.
25:47It is a prayer
25:48directed
25:48to Our
25:49Most Holy Mother
25:50that most
25:51of us
25:51we know.
25:53I want
25:54invite them
25:54to say it
25:56today
25:56and that we say it
25:57continuously.
25:59You will realize
25:59account that always
26:00after communion
26:01I tell her
26:01because we have to
26:03entrust us
26:04her,
26:05above all
26:05in these times
26:06difficult,
26:07when darkness
26:08seems
26:09well
26:10fill
26:12to all of our
26:12humanity,
26:14Maria
26:14Stella Maris
26:15it is presented
26:16like that
26:17benchmark
26:18so as not to
26:19get lost.
26:20So,
26:21without getting up
26:22Where are they?
26:23I invite you
26:24if you like
26:25close your eyes
26:26so that they can say it
