00:00This week, from the Word of God.
00:11At that time, the apostles gathered again with Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught.
00:21Then He said to them, come with me to a secluded place and rest a while.
00:28Because so many people were coming and going, they didn't even have time to eat.
00:36Jesus and his apostles went in a boat to a secluded and quiet place.
00:44People saw them leave and recognized them.
00:47Then, from all the villages, they ran overland to that place and got ahead of them.
00:54When Jesus landed, he saw a large crowd waiting for him and he had compassion on them,
01:04because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.
01:10We now return to the Gospel of Mark, which we left off last week,
01:22sending his disciples to preach.
01:26You will remember that he sent them out two by two to go and deliver the good news.
01:32Last week we remembered the commitment of each one of us.
01:37We were saying, to feel like owners, to feel like proprietors of this good news,
01:44which we are now entrusted to share.
01:48We were saying that those who feel like owners truly understand the importance and the commitment.
01:56and they are capable of carrying out the work.
02:00It was, therefore, an invitation for each of us to assume this responsibility.
02:06that the Lord gives us to spread his message.
02:09The evangelist introduces a theological inclusion there; that is, he includes, ending, let's say, in this way,
02:22While the apostles are preaching, the evangelist then inserts an inclusion.
02:31It includes the death, the martyrdom of John the Baptist.
02:35The liturgist removes it, that is, the liturgist, in order to give it, well, to make a continuous text,
02:46It removes the martyrdom of the Baptist and tells us from the return of the apostles.
02:52That's why today we're skipping all those verses and going straight to verse 30.
02:59so that the narrative of the arrival of the apostles may continue.
03:05As the monitor already hinted, they arrive, they are, therefore, excited
03:13of what has happened during this time, there with his preaching,
03:20And, well, people find out and they're already there and a lot of people start to gather.
03:30Some want him to heal them, others want to talk to the master,
03:35Others, each with their own needs, as is still the case to this day.
03:40The evangelist says, and so many people came to them that they did not even have time to eat.
03:50So then Jesus says to them, let's go to the other side of the lake,
03:54Let's take a little break, and then they get in the boat and leave.
04:01But the people, well, I think they went to a place, well, not so far away, right?
04:05The Sea of Galilee, then, is called that, right? Because it really is a sea.
04:09So they went there to some place more or less close to the villages.
04:14who were usually around the lake, saw them and caught up with them.
04:21And when they arrived, everyone was already there, waiting to see the teacher.
04:28Again, let's continue with what Jesus, then, tried to avoid a little so that he could rest.
04:34and he encounters this crowd.
04:37This provides an opportunity to see another important element that the Lord will emphasize.
04:46There is no particular time for evangelization.
04:51All time is a time to evangelize.
04:55That is why Saint Paul, when he writes at the end of his life that he has fully understood this lesson,
05:03He writes to Timothy, his apostle, the second, to Timothy, in chapter 4, the first verses,
05:11He says, I urge you, I recommend that you read it, right?
05:18Paul's text to Timothy there has tremendous power, because it is a vehemence with which he asks him to please,
05:31For the sake of charity, do not stop preaching, and do it in season and out of season, with or without opportunity.
05:38And this, then, is due to what we were already saying last week, right?
05:43So, all of us who have received this message have a great obligation to continue spreading it, right?
05:53In other words, only the one who receives it can give it away, and if they don't give it away, well, the next generation will have it, they won't have it anymore.
06:04Today we have a very limited gospel, we have a very curtailed evangelization,
06:10because it was based solely, then, on what we came to hear at mass,
06:19So, really, half an hour, forty minutes, an hour, whatever you like, is very little.
06:28Furthermore, if we consider that the Eucharistic part also constitutes an important part of the Mass,
06:34the penitential part, etc., because what is really dedicated to the word of God is little.
06:40And with this, then, it is not enough for our lives to function,
06:46particularly now, in this world where there is no longer censorship,
06:52where anything can be published, where any type of language is allowed, etc.
06:59And this, therefore, obviously puts the next generation in serious danger, at serious risk.
07:05I see in the young men who are going to get married, people of 25, 27 years old,
07:16I see that the creed is no longer understood, that the vast majority don't even come to mass.
07:22They do not go to confession, they do not take communion.
07:24They still maintain some traditions, such as getting married in a church,
07:30which is often more about the dress and the styling, right?
07:37That there are many flowers and many candles and all this fuss that is done within marriage,
07:47that really to receive a sacrament.
07:51In fact, some directly say, no, Father, well, we want it for the party.
07:55And because the bride's mother insists, right?
07:58The traditions of our ancestors.
08:01But there is no longer a gospel, there is no longer a relationship with God.
08:06I mentioned it in one of the homilies, didn't I?
08:09Cardinal Sara's tremendous book, it's gotten dark, hasn't it?
08:17The day is far spent, says the title in English, right?
08:21The day is over.
08:23In other words, it tells us about all this that is fading away in the church.
08:29We are entering a period of darkness, of night.
08:32because the previous generation, which is still part of ours,
08:37Well, he hasn't done his job.
08:41He did not evangelize the next generation.
08:45Yesterday I was talking with the people from Renovación, with the leaders,
08:49Where did the new generations of preachers go?
08:54Today we hear nothing from the great preachers anywhere
08:59as they existed at that time within the Renewal.
09:02What happened?
09:03We got stuck.
09:06And the world today is truly a dangerous world.
09:10It's a very difficult world.
09:13There is tremendous opposition to the Gospel, to its values,
09:16at all levels and in all areas.
09:19Hence what I was saying last week,
09:22of the importance of each one truly taking on this commitment.
09:27And I have already outlined this, but now in an objective way,
09:34This can be seen reflected in today's Gospel.
09:37that in order to be evangelized they basically need two things.
09:43One, love of God and love of neighbor.
09:50And these two will give us a third, which is availability.
09:59Nobody has time these days.
10:02Either none of us have time, that's the truth.
10:04We live in a world of racing, of rushing,
10:08of the thousands of tasks, and well, nobody has time.
10:13I tell you, there is no time for prayer.
10:15We need to make time.
10:19Today we have to make time for everything.
10:22In other words, if you want to go on vacation, you have to make time.
10:26If you want to visit a friend, you have to make time.
10:30In other words, for the things that interest us,
10:33We need to make time, give ourselves time.
10:36The same applies to prayer as to evangelization.
10:40If we don't take this time, parents, to talk to our children about the Gospel,
10:48if we continue to entrust him to the parish catechist
10:53that he may evangelize his children,
10:56if you continue to trust that the Legionary schools
11:00and from Opus Dei, whichever one you want,
11:03They are going to evangelize their children,
11:05They are completely wrong.
11:07We will continue to fail at this.
11:14Do they help?
11:16Yeah.
11:17As I tell the parents at the school, there in Arjé.
11:22We help.
11:24We are looking to cooperate with you.
11:28But the responsibility is yours.
11:31My responsibility as a school
11:33It's about making them good students.
11:35that they have, therefore, the capabilities to be able to move forward,
11:41to face the next exams at university, anyway.
11:45But it is up to you to make them Christians.
11:51Because Christianity is a life.
11:53Certainly, if that kind of life isn't lived at school, then it's not going to be very cooperative either.
12:00But I see him at the same school.
12:03Who are the boys who are progressing in their spiritual life?
12:06Well, those who have a family that supports them from home,
12:10who have a dad who dedicates time to them, a mom who dedicates time to them,
12:14Also, not only to review their tasks, but also to review their growth.
12:21Where the Christian life is not a book, a little book,
12:26but rather a lifestyle that we have absorbed directly from Holy Scripture.
12:32And that becomes clear from the moment we sit down to eat,
12:36from the moment we start walking to school,
12:39since we left on our trip,
12:41since we've been watching television, etc.
12:43It is a lifestyle that permeates all areas of our existence.
12:51Because that is what it means to be a Christian, it is to be like Christ, it is to seek to be like Christ.
12:57And for this we need to give ourselves time.
13:01Otherwise, it doesn't work.
13:04We need to be available both on and off the clock.
13:08with or without opportunity.
13:10In the book of Acts of the Apostles,
13:14We also find a passage that supports this same idea.
13:20Paul, Peter, is called to go to another city
13:25because a Roman captain wants to speak with him.
13:30He says an angel spoke to him.
13:34And Pedro, who surely, like all of us,
13:37I had many things to do,
13:39Well, he took the time and went with them, right?
13:43Acts chapter 10.
13:44Virtually the entire chapter,
13:46but from the 19th onwards,
13:48It begins with a mystical experience that Peter has,
13:53that makes him know, makes him understand,
13:55that pagans are also subjects of the Gospel.
14:00So, he was preparing all of this.
14:03By the time these servants arrived,
14:06These men were sent by this Roman captain, Cornelius,
14:10So he decided to go home.
14:13And this is what we must do too, brothers.
14:17We need to decide to cooperate,
14:21We need to give ourselves time,
14:24We must fulfill our commitment,
14:27And so, this time needs to be allocated for everything.
14:32Failure to do so leads to society
14:38to the situation we have today,
14:41a world without God.
14:43And the world without God lives in sin,
14:46He is driven by his own passions,
14:49He is led by the hand by television,
14:52the internet, video games, and all that,
14:54and it pulls them, it pulls us, it pulls us,
14:59And that's why it destroys marriages.
15:01And that's why it destroys families.
15:03And that is why it destroys society itself.
15:07As I have mentioned to you on many occasions,
15:11Where do you think all the evildoers came from?
15:14Are they walking around armed with machine guns and pistols?
15:19Didn't they import them from there?
15:21directly from Venus, from Mars?
15:24No, one day they were sitting
15:29on a catechism bench.
15:31Most likely, the majority
15:33have been baptized,
15:35but they were not evangelized.
15:39And then sin drew them in,
15:42He convinced them that having money
15:44He was a cool guy,
15:46that being able to have sex and other things
15:48It would make them extremely happy.
15:50And they took that path,
15:52the path of destruction,
15:54They destroyed their families,
15:56Drug addicts, alcoholics, etc.
15:58The Holy Scriptures are very clear on that.
16:05Two passages that would come to support
16:06what I've been telling you.
16:08One, very clear,
16:11Paul to the Romans,
16:13from chapter 6, verse 23,
16:16The wages of sin is death.
16:19In other words, we believe that our actions
16:23They will have no effect on life.
16:27We were wrong.
16:28Everything has consequences,
16:30good and bad.
16:33Today we are paying
16:34bad decisions
16:36that other governments have taken.
16:39Bad decisions
16:40that perhaps we have had.
16:42Our sins
16:44They will always be the product
16:46from a bad decision.
16:49I decided to listen to my body,
16:51I decided to listen to the television,
16:54I decided to listen to my friends,
16:55instead of listening to God.
16:58It's a bad decision.
17:00And it will always result in
17:02destruction and death.
17:05Saint Paul,
17:07in his letter to the Galatians,
17:08in chapter 6,
17:10from verse 7 onwards,
17:12says,
17:14Don't fool yourself.
17:16No one mocks God.
17:19If you sow in the flesh,
17:22You will reap death and destruction.
17:26If you sow in the Spirit,
17:27You will reap happiness and eternal life.
17:31Let no one be deceived.
17:32Everything has consequences.
17:35The decisions the Jews made
17:37with regard to Jesus
17:39had consequences.
17:44Love, brothers,
17:46That's what drives us,
17:47what compels
17:48Let's give ourselves time for this.
17:51It is love for one's brothers,
17:54the one who at a certain moment says,
17:56It can't be that this person
17:57I'm going to end up throwing
17:59to lose their marriage,
18:01his life,
18:02to their children.
18:02We need to help him.
18:05for love,
18:06because you love him
18:07to your friend,
18:08to your cousin,
18:09to your brother,
18:10to your dad.
18:11You can't leave him.
18:12without gospel,
18:14because sooner or later
18:16will experience
18:17the consequences
18:17of not having God
18:20deeply anchored
18:21in his life.
18:25Jesus,
18:26like most saints,
18:29suffers
18:29for sinners.
18:34He suffers because they refuse to listen.
18:37She suffers because they don't want her to.
18:38accept the message
18:40of the good news.
18:41because they don't open
18:43to the love of God,
18:46because they don't want to know
18:47this wonderful life
18:48that God has created
18:49for us
18:50and suffers.
18:55In the Gospel
18:56of Saint Luke
18:58presents us with
19:00this text
19:03very tremendous,
19:05TRUE?
19:05of Jesus,
19:08Luke 19:41
19:10where Jesus
19:11cries
19:12through Jerusalem.
19:17Jesus
19:18She started to cry
19:20and said
19:23Jerusalem,
19:26Jerusalem,
19:28How many times
19:29I wanted to wrap you up
19:30like a hen
19:32welcomes the chicks
19:34under his wings?
19:35But never
19:36You gave me a chance.
19:40Jesus weeps
19:41and we should
19:45everyone started crying
19:46also
19:47and we should
19:50to keep moving forward
19:52and to do
19:52our maximum
19:54effort
19:55so that less
19:57people
19:58get to know
19:59corruption,
20:01get to know
20:01the deterioration
20:02that brings
20:03sin
20:03to life
20:04of a person.
20:05is ours
20:07responsibility.
20:09Who else
20:10He's going to do it
20:11if you don't
20:12you as dad,
20:14if you don't
20:15as a friend,
20:16if you don't
20:17as a family member
20:18of that
20:18not even to mass
20:19is he/she coming?
20:20Who's going to do it?
20:22Wait
20:22to destroy
20:24your life?
20:24Or well,
20:27than in the best
20:27of the cases
20:28go with the
20:30Protestants
20:31who evangelized him,
20:33who spoke to him
20:34of what you
20:34You didn't speak to him,
20:36because you didn't talk to him
20:37never of Jesus Christ,
20:38of his good news,
20:40of his love,
20:41of abundant life
20:42that I had for him,
20:44of all that God
20:45had done
20:46in your life.
20:46we don't have
20:52no one else
20:53more than you,
20:56But for that
20:57you need
20:58really
20:59love
20:59to the person.
21:02This lack
21:03of love
21:03is what today
21:05we see,
21:06lack of love
21:07of the father
21:08for the son,
21:09of the son
21:09by the father,
21:10of the brothers
21:11each other,
21:12of the same
21:13husbands,
21:14we live a life
21:15simply
21:16mechanics,
21:19we live under
21:19the same roof,
21:21but not down
21:22the same love,
21:24We don't love each other
21:25all
21:26with the same love
21:27And that's why
21:29the gospel
21:30It's not progressing.
21:33Jesus
21:34for love
21:35came to us,
21:36for love
21:37to you
21:37and me,
21:39not only
21:40He left his heaven,
21:42its amenities,
21:44He gave up his life,
21:46He handed it over
21:48all for you
21:49and also
21:52throughout
21:52those people
21:53that it doesn't
21:53knows,
21:54that throws
21:55to lose
21:55his life
21:56and it is a
21:57waste
21:58for them
21:59the sacrifice
21:59of Christ
22:00because never
22:01they will have
22:02life
22:02that He
22:03He brought them.
22:03It's for love,
22:10It's for love,
22:12that's why
22:13says Pablo
22:14Letter
22:15to the Romans
22:15Chapter 5
22:16verse 8
22:17God
22:18showed
22:19his love
22:19sending
22:20to his Son
22:21to save us,
22:22when we were
22:23sinners,
22:25when not
22:25we deserved
22:26nothing,
22:26because I had
22:27that come
22:27for us
22:28and yet
22:30came,
22:30because
22:31I have to go
22:32to rescue
22:32to my brother,
22:33to my friend,
22:34to my dad?
22:35Well,
22:35Well, He already lived.
22:36his life
22:37And if you want
22:37to continue living it
22:38So,
22:39oh well.
22:39May He be,
22:40No,
22:41That's why today
22:42It makes us
22:43know
22:44this text,
22:47the first reading
22:48about the shepherds
22:49from Israel
22:50and puts us
22:52the Psalm
22:5323,
22:54the good
22:55pastor,
22:56the dad
22:56good
22:57pastor,
22:57carrying
22:58to his Son
22:59to the Church,
23:00carrying
23:00to his Son
23:01to the Gospel,
23:02who drives it,
23:03That's the
23:04good
23:04pastor,
23:06the dad
23:07well, it gives
23:07all to the Son
23:08and he wears it
23:10to ruin,
23:13the good
23:13father
23:14discipline him,
23:16corrects it
23:16and he wears it
23:18along the way
23:18of the truth,
23:20He wears it
23:20to the Lord
23:21Jesus,
23:22the good
23:22father,
23:23the good
23:24pastor.
23:27In a way
23:28today
23:29very
23:29particular
23:30they align
23:31are
23:31two readings
23:33and the Psalm
23:34to invite us
23:35to take
23:36this commitment
23:38of being
23:38good
23:39pastors
23:39for love.
23:42A text
23:43well known
23:44of all of us,
23:45John 3,
23:4516,
23:47He loved so much
23:47God to the world
23:48that delivered
23:48to his Son,
23:50paraphrased
23:50in the text
23:51Roman 5
23:52which I read first.
23:53term
23:56inviting them
23:57as usual
23:58I do it
23:59my brothers
24:00that
24:01Let's go in
24:03to this,
24:05that
24:05truly
24:06we feel
24:07committed.
24:09The lack
24:10of evangelization
24:11means
24:13clearly
24:15a fault
24:16of love
24:17bye bye.
24:18Jesus says

24:22of San Juan
24:22Chapter 14

24:24if truly

24:29my commandments
24:30and the
24:32that guarantees
24:34that their mission
24:36not outside
24:37a failure
24:38everyone else
24:39commandments
24:40They're fine.

24:42commandment
24:43that gave them
24:44the order
24:44that gave them
24:45them
24:45is the one that
24:46guarantees
24:47that his
24:48sacrifice
24:49redeemer
24:49I wasn't going
24:50to stay
24:50in a
