00:00Among those who had come to Jerusalem to worship God at the Passover festival,
00:13There were some Greeks who approached Philip, from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him,
00:21Lord, we would like to see Jesus. Philip went to tell Andrew, and Andrew and Philip told him.
00:28They said to Jesus, and He answered, The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
00:36I assure you that unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies,
00:43It will produce much fruit. He who loves himself loses himself, he who hates himself in this
00:51The world is secured for eternal life. Whoever wants to serve me must follow me, so that where I am,
00:58My servant also be with me. The one who serves me will be honored by my Father. Now that I am afraid,
01:07I will say to my Father, 'Father, save me from this hour.' No, it is precisely for this hour that God has chosen me.
01:15I have come. Father, give glory to your name. Then a voice was heard saying, I have glorified it,
01:24and I will glorify him again. Among those who were present and heard that voice, some said that
01:32Some said it was thunder, others that an angel had spoken to him. But Jesus told them, "That voice has not come."
01:39not for me, but for you. The judgment of this world is coming. The prince of the kingdom will be cast out.
01:47This world. When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself. He said this indicating
01:55how he would die.
01:57Music
01:58As we draw to a close this last week of Lent, a time for reflection,
02:18Today, in connection with the first reading, I would like to address the theme of the covenant, so that by understanding
02:28By delving deeper into what this topic refers to, we can take advantage of it in a way
02:35for it is more perfect in these last days before the Lord's Passover.
02:40An alliance is a commitment made between two entities, two kingdoms, two people; it mediates between
02:55The two of them share a code, called the alliance code, which refers to a series
03:02of prescriptions, which give validity and guarantee to the alliance. This used to
03:09I've spoken about this topic before, but today I'd like to bring it up again.
03:14revisit it and give it a little more depth.
03:18This alliance was generally made between a strong kingdom or lord and a weak one, a kingdom
03:27that needed protection. It could be that the smaller kingdom, the weaker kingdom, asked
03:33to the strongest kingdom to make this alliance, or it could be that the largest, the strongest kingdom, sought
03:41to form the alliance in order to acquire more land and more privileges. Upon its formation
03:49The alliance was going to establish a series of rules that were usually set by the eldest.
03:56He said, well then, I'll defend you if your enemies come. You'll be under my protection.
04:05With your custody, you won't have to worry about a thing, and I'll always be attentive to all your needs.
04:12may arise in this kingdom. In return, you agree to pay me, let's say, this interest,
04:21This monthly amount. You're going to give me, then, a portion of your harvest, you're going to give me a
04:28part of your gold, etc. And those were the rules that were set, and then the two of them
04:34They signed the code. In ancient times, when this was done, it was usually signed in blood.
04:44with the blood of a sacrifice, which would generally be that of an animal. So,
04:51Once the pact was finished, the blood, which was the sign of life, was signed with blood.
04:57which could sometimes be from the same people, or it could be from a sacrifice. And so it remained
05:03The pact was sealed. If the people kept the pact, the smaller kingdom, then the larger kingdom, would follow.
05:11The older one was obligated to comply with his counterpart. So both were now obligated
05:17to fulfill what was written. It said there, in the case of war and in the case of siege,
05:23Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, we will send our troops and all. And then,
05:30You, on the other hand, will do the following: you will give us 50% of your harvests,
05:3520% of their gold, etc., etc., etc. Okay? Do we agree? Yes. We both sign.
05:42We'll put blood on it; this is a pact between us that must be honored. If it isn't honored,
05:49So, then, some clauses were added, which generally said, well, if you don't comply,
05:55Well, as we Mexicans would say, there are plenty of them. It would be said that the strongest kingdom, it would say,
06:02If you don't comply, then I'll leave you completely at the mercy of your enemies, okay? So,
06:09That was, that is the concept of the alliance, and obviously, this is the concept of the alliance
06:16that God signs with the people of Israel, under the same conditions. God, who is strong,
06:26He is the one who can rescue Israel, because, obviously, he is the one who sets the conditions.
06:31These conditions are what we know as the law, the law of God, which in short
06:42We have it under the Ten Commandments. However, over time in Israel, these ten
06:48The commandments eventually became 625 different rules, all of which are listed in
06:56The book of numbers. The people would have to follow these 625 rules, which included,
07:03For example, what Jesus mentions at some point, washing your hands up to your elbows
07:09When they return from the market, they must wash all the vessels and, in short, follow a series of prescriptions.
07:17that were given, that is, that God was giving to the people, many of them of a health nature.
07:24God, who seeks to protect his people, a people who live in the desert, therefore, has to put in place a series
07:30of sanitary regulations to prevent the town from dying out. Imagine, the town in full development,
07:39An epidemic like the Black Death, which ravaged Europe and killed almost half the population, is coming.
07:45throughout Europe. Imagine if something similar were to strike the people of Israel; they would disappear.
07:52of the face of the earth, right? So, those rules, which are health-related, were also given
07:58For God's sake, and they had to be respected because they were part of the code, okay? There would be higher rules,
08:04which would be those found in the Ten Commandments, and then different types of regulations
08:08for the different things they did. And God then says to him, well, if you fulfill
08:15With these rules, what can you expect from me? I'm going to read some excerpts from the chapter.
08:2228, which I ask you to please read at home afterwards, because this is still valid
08:29still for us.
08:44The Lord says.
08:49If you truly obey the Lord your God and put into practice all the commandments that I give you, then you will be well pleased.
08:55I command today, then the Lord will set you high above all peoples. Furthermore,
09:06Furthermore, all these blessings will come upon you and overtake you because you have obeyed the
09:12Lord your God. You will be blessed in the city and in the countryside; your children and your descendants will be blessed.
09:18crops, the offspring of your cows, your sheep, all your animals.
09:23Blessed will be your basket and the place where you knead the flour, and blessed will you be.
09:29in everything you do. And a series of blessings follow.
09:34Okay? This is still valid.
09:37The law is not abolished, says Jesus, who has not come to change anything, but to bring it to him.
09:42To the fullest. Okay?
09:44So, if God's people obey what is commanded, if they obey the Ten Commandments
09:53and the other miscellaneous parts of the law, for then God undertakes to do all this.
10:00Okay?
10:01But if not, then what will happen?
10:04Well, let's see what God says in verse 15 of this chapter 28.
10:12But if you do not obey the Lord your God, nor put into practice all his commandments and laws
10:18that I command you today, all these curses will come upon you and overtake you.
10:24You will be cursed in the city and in the countryside, your basket and the place will be cursed.
10:30Where you knead the flour, cursed will be your children and your crops, and the offspring of your cattle,
10:36of your sheep and all the animals, and you will be cursed in everything you do.
10:42And the list continues, all of chapter 28.
10:46Okay?
10:47So, there are very good things that God offers us and very bad consequences if we do not obey him.
10:57Okay?
10:58This is the alliance code.
11:02This is what has been agreed upon, what the people commit to living by, the law.
11:09However, what about the law, brothers?
11:15Well, the same thing happens as with our human laws.
11:20For the law to be enforced, for a person to comply with the law, one of two things must happen.
11:28The first, which would be ideal, is that I am convinced that this rule is good for me.
11:37If I discover in a rule, whether of God's law or of civil law, that it is good for me,
11:46I will lovingly fulfill it.
11:50I'm never going to skip it.
11:52Because?
11:53Because I see that this is good for me.
11:56But if, on the contrary, this rule, at this moment and under these circumstances,
12:03It's not good for me, so I'm not going to obey it.
12:07The boy tells his mother,
12:12My little girl, turn off the TV.
12:17What will the child think?
12:19This is not good, I want to keep watching TV.
12:22He fails to discover where the goodness of this law lies,
12:25of this rule that the mother is setting at that moment,
12:29And what is he going to do?
12:29Well, he's not going to fulfill it.
12:35Because he doesn't discover that it's good.
12:38So, what does it take to make it happen?
12:43Well then, we need a police officer.
12:45We need someone to keep an eye on things so that if the TV isn't turned off,
12:52Well, go and make him feel the consequences.
12:56Okay?
12:56If the police officer isn't there, then it won't work.
13:04Yeah?
13:05And then we think there are no consequences.
13:09That's right, isn't it?
13:10Ordinarily.
13:12Yeah?
13:12So what happens?
13:16We have to, or we convince ourselves that this rule is good.
13:22Or we need a police officer.
13:26And I'm going to tell you about a civilian experience.
13:29so you can see how it pulls like that.
13:34When we arrived at a traffic light
13:37And we see a red light, what does it mean?
13:41We need to stop, right?
13:45The rule says, stop,
13:47go to the right or to the left
13:49And if nobody comes, you can pass it on.
13:51Is that what the traffic law says?
13:53No, right?
13:54The rule says, you arrive at a traffic light,
13:58He sees the red light and stops.
14:01Yeah?
14:03However, what do we ordinarily do?
14:06Especially Mexicans.
14:07You arrive at 2 in the morning,
14:12your face turns red
14:15So what do you do?
14:18You turn to the right,
14:21You turn to the left,
14:23You see that nobody is coming.
14:25And you think,
14:26Why is this rule for turning on the traffic light at night?
14:29When there is nothing?
14:30This rule makes no sense at this time.
14:34At 2 in the morning, of course I stop
14:36and I don't even turn around to see where
14:38because a car is probably coming.
14:40But at this hour,
14:41at the moment,
14:42Under these circumstances,
14:44that law,
14:45Whoever posted it is wrong.
14:47TRUE?
14:50That's how you think.
14:52And then you turn around to see if there's a police officer.
14:55There is no police.
14:57What are you doing?
14:58What are you doing?
14:58You're skipping it.
15:03Very good.
15:04Under this mindset,
15:05some good friends,
15:07It's been quite a few years now,
15:10They went to live in Germany
15:11And they were returning too,
15:14around 2 a.m.
15:15They were returning from a party
15:16and it happened on an avenue,
15:22what my friend tells me,
15:23that it were so
15:24the House of the Americas,
15:26But there he came to a halt
15:29and then he proceeded
15:32as we normally do.
15:35He turned to the left,
15:37He turned to the right,
15:39nothing is coming,
15:41How absurd to put
15:42a red light
15:43at 2 in the morning
15:44when nobody happens.
15:45since he is not convinced
15:47This law is good.
15:48And there's no police officer.
15:50that he can see,
15:53Well, she spent it.
15:55Two weeks later,
15:56by mail,
15:57He received a fine.
15:59for 80 euros
16:00for having gone too far
16:02a red light
16:04at 2 in the morning.
16:05and it came with a photo
16:09from your plate
16:09of the car
16:11and a photo
16:13his
16:13driving the car
16:15in such a way
16:17that he cannot say
16:18It wasn't me.
16:20So he had to pay
16:21your 80 euros,
16:23that is to say,
16:24You jump
16:25a standard
16:27And even if you believe
16:28that is useless
16:29And even if you believe
16:30whatever you believe,
16:31the legislator says
16:32at this time
16:32a car can pass
16:33And you have to stop.
16:35And you have to wait
16:36until it turns green
16:37and for not waiting
16:384 minutes
16:39which is the average
16:40that lasts a high
16:41It cost him 80 euros.
16:47That's how we pull
16:48and the consequences
16:51appear.
16:55If it's placed there
16:57by the legislator
16:58well
16:59and don't turn off
17:01that traffic light at night
17:02This means that
17:03there may be
17:04the possibility
17:05that he/she comes
17:06a car
17:07and a collision occurs.
17:10So
17:10We must respect.
17:13Very good.
17:14The people of Israel
17:15and the Christian people
17:17They have a law
17:19that nobody respects.
17:23At least
17:24in all
17:25their demands.
17:27No?
17:28Because?
17:28Because we think
17:30this law
17:31not applicable
17:32for me.
17:34Or at least
17:35not applicable
17:36at the moment.
17:37Under these circumstances
17:38not applicable.
17:42One of the elements
17:44where
17:44we didn't reach
17:45let's see
17:46And that's why
17:46I use it a lot
17:47as an element
17:49to exemplify
17:50that's the topic
17:51of the sixth commandment.
17:53The Sixth Commandment
17:57in general
17:57because it would seem to us
17:59which is not applicable
18:01or that should
18:02of having
18:03some reform
18:04there.
18:05You shall not commit adultery.
18:07unless
18:07that it is
18:08your boyfriend.
18:10But it doesn't say that.
18:12Just like in the other one
18:13It doesn't say
18:14you won't go too far
18:15the high
18:15unless
18:16that they are
18:17two in the morning
18:18and no cars coming.
18:19It doesn't say that.
18:20and we don't see
18:21that this
18:22apply
18:23us.
18:24This is kind of
18:25it must be applied
18:26to other people
18:27or at another time
18:29and then
18:30as I was saying
18:31in his encyclical
18:32of the Splendor of Truth
18:34the Pope
18:34fondly remembered
18:36Holy Hour
18:37John Paul II
18:38we are building
18:39a moral
18:40of situation.
18:41That is to say
18:42There is a law
18:43there is a code
18:45but this code
18:46applies
18:47only
18:48if at this moment
18:50It suits me
18:50if at this moment
18:52I discover
18:53that law
18:54It's good.
18:54Well, I'm going to apply it.
18:56I'm going to live it
18:57I discover that it's good
18:58But if I don't discover
19:00which is good
19:01that it does not apply
19:02at the moment
19:02so
19:03I'll skip it
19:05And that's what he did.
19:07the people of Israel
19:08he skipped away
19:11all the rules
19:13you will not have
19:14other gods
19:15Well
19:15But I don't think so.
19:16that bothers him
19:17He's a little god
19:18secondary
19:18He's the real deal.
19:20He has his big temple
19:23there in Jerusalem
19:23But I'm left with...
19:25very far
19:25go to Jerusalem
19:26and instead
19:27Here are my neighbors
19:27Canaanites
19:28because they have
19:29this beautiful
19:30This beautiful
19:31effigy of Astarte
19:32Well, what can he do?
19:34to pass to God
19:34don't change
19:40the scales
19:41the law
19:42of justice
19:43But the thing is
19:45if I don't reduce it
19:46a little bit here
19:47gasoline
19:48and instead of giving you
19:49well, the liter
19:51complete
19:51I'll give you 900 milliliters
19:53I can't beat him
19:54well then
19:55at last
19:56how much is
19:57remove
19:58900
19:59100 milliliters
20:01You can't even tell.
20:02no more than it multiplies
20:06one for the thousands
20:07and thousands
20:08and thousands
20:09of liters
20:09that a gas station sells
20:10it seems that
20:16Everything will stay there
20:18but not
20:20It doesn't end there.
20:21Today we listened
20:23to the prophet
20:24Jeremiah
20:25prophet Jeremiah
20:26who is the prophet
20:27that precedes
20:28the destruction
20:29of Jerusalem
20:30When are they coming?
20:32the enemies
20:33of the town
20:34And they're going to do it.
20:35ointment

22:51when they are
22:53almost ready
22:54to invade
22:56about to invade
23:00Jerusalem
23:01God says
23:03What will I do?
23:06to this town
23:08I gave him my law
23:09I wrote it to her
23:12in stones
23:13so that it wouldn't be erased
23:14so that she would have it
23:17always present
23:18I told him
23:19We've reviewed it.
23:20many times
23:21of Euteronomy
23:22Chapter 6
23:24verses 4
23:25and following
23:26Show them to her

23:27when you are
23:30at your house
23:30and when you leave
23:32when you go to bed
23:34and when you get up
23:36put slips of paper
23:38and put them on
23:39there on the lintels
23:40of your
23:41from your house
23:41of the doors
23:42from your house
23:43always put them on
23:45right before your eyes
23:46and in all the Pharisees
23:47They used phylacteries
23:49which were little pieces of paper
23:50that were
23:51pulling all the time
23:52to enact the law
23:53before their eyes
23:54And he says, sir
23:59I'm not pulling
24:02these donkeys
24:05they threw
24:06for the mountain
24:07and now they're leaving
24:08to take
24:09the painter
24:10which are the consequences
24:13It's not that God
24:14he will send the enemies
24:15the enemies
24:16there they were
24:17and the pact said
24:20when you yell at me
24:22Well, I'm going to help you.
24:24I am going to bless
24:26your baskets
24:27because now we don't
24:28reach the wool
24:29people who earn
24:32good money
24:33and it's not enough
24:34and everyone
24:36always walk
24:36bankrupt
24:39says the gentleman
24:40I will bless
24:41your baskets
24:42and your flour
24:44will multiply
24:45and I will bless you
24:47with your children
24:48And today we have
24:49some who are not children
24:51but they are children
24:52What will I do?
25:03idea
25:04I know
25:04I'm going to put
25:07the law
25:08in their hearts
25:09I'm going to put them on.
25:12inside
25:12so that they
25:15from within
25:16from his heart
25:17from his soul
25:19can discover
25:21How good the law is!
25:22and that all the commandments
25:25even washing your hands
25:26They are good
25:27that with my law
25:28The only thing I want
25:30is to make them
25:31a good
25:32But since they don't see it
25:34because they are
25:34half-blind
25:35so
25:37I'm going to put them
25:38the law
25:38in the heart
25:39and then
25:45we had to wait
25:46that Jesus would come
25:48so that it would be possible
25:50put
25:50the law
25:51in the heart
25:52the whole gospel
25:55He tells us
25:56of this tragedy
25:57internal
25:57of man
25:58blindness
26:00to see
26:01that the law
26:02It's good.
26:02we have spoken
26:05many
26:05a long time
26:06in many
26:07of the
26:08of the homilies
26:09we have spoken
26:10of the blind
26:12who are the blind
26:14in the gospel
26:15those who don't
26:19come
26:20life
26:21those who do not have
26:22spiritual life
26:23TRUE
26:23those who don't reach
26:25Let's see the good stuff.
26:26and the bad
26:27those who lack
26:28conversion
26:29Chapter 9
26:31which we already discussed
26:32with great spaciousness
26:33in one of the homilies
26:35It makes us see
26:36this process
26:37lighting
26:38internal
26:39which we call
26:40conversion
26:40I mean
26:41the conversion
26:42my brothers
26:43It's time to start.
26:43to see clearly
26:45and distinguish
26:46the good
26:47of the bad
26:48and call
26:49the bad
26:50bad
26:51and to the good stuff
26:51Well
26:52but how
26:53our eyes
26:54they get confused
26:55so
26:56especially
26:57young people
26:58Well, see the good.
26:59as bad
27:00and the bad
27:01as good
27:01and then we grow
27:02And that's how we stayed.
27:04the gospel
27:06the light of Christ
27:08in the soul
27:08It allows you to see
27:09which is good
27:10as good
27:11and what is bad
27:12as bad
27:14so you don't get confused
27:15and then
27:17if God tells you
27:18Don't do this
27:19you say
27:19Oh
27:20No
27:20I'm not going to do this
27:21because this is
27:22bad
27:23It's not convenient for me.
27:24Yeah
27:26said Saint Thomas
27:27one of its maxims
27:28that we learned in Latin
27:31said
27:31appetite
27:32secuitur
27:34good
27:34In other words, your appetite
27:36It will always continue
27:37whatever appears
27:39before your senses
27:40Well
27:41then I need
27:44that something
27:45a lamp
27:46a light
27:47inside me
27:48I became enlightened
27:49and let me see
27:50what really
27:51it's good
27:52so that I realize
27:54that
27:54God's law
27:55It's great!
27:57all his commandments
27:58up to the sixth
28:00it's good
28:02but my eyes
28:05They don't see it
28:06so
28:07God
28:08I was going to send
28:09this light
28:10that
28:11translates in the gospel
28:13pass
28:14from the darkness
28:16in the light
28:17through
28:18the vision
28:18not of these eyes
28:20but of the eyes
28:21from the heart
28:22we have spoken
28:24when we have spoken
28:25of this blindness
28:26of the prototype
28:27already
28:28after the resurrection
28:29who is Paul
28:30and that exemplifies
28:32us
28:32Pablo
28:34a Jew
28:35perfect
28:36polite
28:37at the feet
28:37of Gamaliel
28:38a man
28:40that was known
28:41the law
28:41to the right
28:42and vice versa
28:43and walked
28:44killing Christians
28:46nevertheless
28:47that he said
28:48the commandment
28:50Thou shalt not kill
28:51except
28:53if they are Christians
28:54let's see
28:57Pablo
28:57Pablo
28:57Pablo
28:58Pablo
28:58Pablo
28:58Where does it say that?
29:03well no
29:04It doesn't say that
29:04but
29:05it settles
29:06No?
29:07I make the law
29:08in my opinion
29:10is found
29:13with Christ
29:14process
29:14initial
29:15of the lighting
29:17and you can see
29:19No
29:20stays
29:21the text says
29:23They can read it
29:24in chapter 9
29:25from the Acts of the Apostles
29:26stays
29:27blind
29:28he is blinded
29:30so that he understands
29:31who is blind
29:32I used to think I saw
29:34But the truth is
29:34He's blind.
29:35and then
29:37is coming
29:38Ananias
29:39and Ananias
29:42He's going to pray
29:43And we'll see
29:43what's happening
29:44I want us to go
29:45to read this text
29:46clearly
29:48Let's go to Facts
29:50in chapter 9
29:52I'm going to read
29:58from verse 17
30:00says
30:01Ananias
30:02went to the house
30:03where Saul was
30:04and upon entering
30:05He put his hands
30:06about him
30:07and he said
30:07Brother Saul
30:09the Lord Jesus
30:11the one who appeared to you
30:12on the way
30:13Where were you coming from?
30:14has sent me
30:15so that you may recover
30:16the view
30:16and stay
30:17full
30:19about what
30:20of the Holy Spirit
30:22says
30:24and at the moment
30:25when he arrived
30:27the Holy Spirit
30:28at the moment
30:29they fell
30:31of the eyes
30:32a species
30:33scales
30:34and recovered
30:35the view
30:36what was it
30:39caused
30:40that now
30:41Pablo may have
30:42the vision
30:44the Holy Spirit
30:48says the Lord
30:52I'm going to put
30:53in their hearts
30:54my law
30:56and what is
30:59the law
30:59of God
31:00Well
31:01because Jesus
31:02the summary
31:02in two commandments
31:04the 625
31:06sum it up
31:08in two
31:09You shall love the Lord
31:11your God
31:12with all your mind
31:13with all your might
31:15and with your whole being
31:17and the second
31:19You shall love your neighbor
31:21as yourself
31:22that in Jesus
31:23He still gives it
31:25a bonus
31:26according to chapter 15
31:29of San Juan
31:30in verse 12
31:31not only
31:32It's like yourself
31:34because
31:34there are some of us
31:35half masochists
31:36if I tried
31:39to my brothers
31:42how I treat myself
31:42me
31:43who knows
31:45How would they fare?
31:46above all
31:48in time
31:49of Lent
31:50because if I
31:53I squeeze myself too much
31:54Well, I'm not going to pressure him.
31:55to the other
31:56It wouldn't be fair.
31:58then he said
32:00Jesus
32:00Well
32:01Yeah
32:01as yourself
32:02in the sense
32:03because nobody
32:04He hates himself
32:05but it says
32:08come on
32:11let's see
32:12that they love each other
32:12as I loved them
32:15Oh Carlitos
32:17and then
32:19the basket
32:20She didn't put it on
32:21on the roof
32:21as I loved them
32:25Imagine, brothers
32:26we have to give
32:28life
32:28on the other
32:29charity
32:31first of all
32:32with the other
32:33before
32:36the law
32:38I was already there
32:38very difficult
32:39to comply
32:40because they were
32:42many
32:43the chapters
32:44that one had to live
32:45some
32:47complicated
32:49but with Christ
32:51this got
32:52worse
32:53if they hit you
32:55on one cheek
32:57I was saying before
32:58TRUE
32:59an eye for an eye
33:00tooth by tooth
33:02I mean
33:04you take me out
33:04an eye
33:05Let's see, with your permission.
33:06and
33:06Okay
33:07an eye for an eye
33:09Now what do I tell them?
33:11love your enemies
33:13And if someone hits you
33:15on one cheek
33:16put the other one on.
33:18Oh Carlitos
33:20Sir
33:20What a drag.
33:21with you
33:22we couldn't
33:23with the eye
33:24by eye
33:24because they were itching me
33:26an eye
33:26and wanted to cut him off
33:27even the tongue
33:28And now you tell me
33:30that he doesn't do anything to her
33:31which also
33:32put the other one on
33:33In other words, don't make a fuss.
33:34things got complicated
33:37TRUE
33:37That's why he said
33:42the Lord
33:42I'm going to put
33:44my alliance
33:45in his heart
33:46and what did he do?
33:48that he did
33:49to Pablo
33:49he sent
33:52the Holy Spirit
33:53TRUE
33:53we have read
33:56many times
33:57Romano's text
33:585.5
33:59God
34:02has sent
34:04his love
34:04to our hearts
34:06through the Holy Spirit
34:08What is the law?
34:09we were saying
34:10What is the law about?
34:12his?
34:14of love
34:15TRUE?
34:16And what did God do?
34:17with the Holy Spirit?
34:21He put it in his heart
34:23He asks me to love.
34:26but now
34:28Love gives me
34:29in the heart
34:30God pours out
34:32the Holy Spirit
34:33in my heart
34:34through the Holy Spirit
34:36and now
34:36the law is out
34:37or is inside
34:39is inside
34:41before
34:42I had to do
34:43an analysis
34:44and see
34:45This suits me
34:45It's not convenient for me.
34:46There are police
34:47There is no police
34:47then I decide
34:48if I fulfill it
34:49or I don't comply
34:50now
34:50like the law
34:51is inside
34:52so now
34:54the law of love
34:54He pushes me
34:56to do good
34:58to make love
34:59continuously
35:01love
35:02I see myself
35:05continuously
35:06pushed
35:06to love
35:07from within
35:09don't have
35:10that
35:10need for nobody
35:11convince me
35:12to love
35:13of serving my husband
35:14of serving my wife
35:15of serving my parents
35:17to obey my parents
35:18to obey the law
35:19I don't need
35:21a conviction
35:22external
35:23because naturally
35:25I get it
35:25I'm going to put
35:28my law
35:29in their hearts
35:31and then
35:35because we have
35:36this society
35:36torn to pieces
35:37here in our Mexico
35:38if we are pure
35:39Catholics
35:40baptized
35:40Sir
35:43again
35:43you failed
35:44first there was
35:45outside
35:45and it wouldn't pull
35:46then you put it on
35:48inside
35:48and neither
35:48pull
35:49You're wrong
35:53Sir
35:53No
35:54what happens
35:57the thing is
35:57the spirit
35:59holy
35:59It is a living being
36:01and the law
36:04it has to be
36:05animated
36:06by this living being
36:07And if you
36:09You don't feed it
36:09even if you have
36:11the law
36:12inside
36:12It doesn't work
36:14what's happening
36:16in our beloved
36:17Mexico
36:17my brothers
36:18and in the world
36:19in general
36:20But I live here.
36:21in Mexico
36:21And that's why
36:21I preach about you
36:22what's happening
36:24in Mexico?
36:25Well, that the Mexican
36:26does not pray
36:27no prays
36:28He doesn't have time
36:29bye
36:30He does not confess
36:31does not take communion
36:32He has no spiritual life
36:33although you have
36:35inner strength
36:37although the spirit
36:38Saint, he's already gone.
36:38spilled
36:39in your hearts
36:40although it should
36:41to get out of yourself
36:42to love
36:42to everyone
36:44It doesn't work for you
36:45It's not that there are
36:48God has failed
36:49but it repeats
36:51the same
36:52What was happening?
36:53in Israel
36:54We cast out God
36:57of our life
36:58we don't want
37:02this inner strength
37:03we don't want to love
37:06we don't want to pray
37:08we don't want
37:12to have a spiritual life
37:13we want to continue
37:15being part
37:16of this world
37:17who does not pray
37:18He does not confess
37:19does not take communion
37:20often
37:20He doesn't read the writing
37:22not applicable

37:24we keep hearing
37:25the same music
37:26always
37:27the same movies
37:28always
37:29the same shows
37:30always
37:31we still want to be

39:36It is the consequence
39:38of our absence
39:38of God
39:39the Holy Spirit
39:42that's it
39:43in us
39:44that's why
39:44can
39:45rebuild
39:45Mexico
39:46can
39:47rebuild
39:48the fabric
39:49social
39:49because it is not
39:51something that goes
39:51to come from outside
39:52It's something that already
39:53have
39:54nothing more there is
39:55to revitalize it
39:56to the extent
39:58in which we
39:59Let's begin
40:00to vitalize the Holy Spirit
40:01that is in our
40:02heart
40:03to that extent
40:04It's going to start
40:05to change
40:06all our
40:07society
40:07But if we continue
40:09like the Greeks
40:10who were pagans
40:11curious
40:13that they want
40:14nothing else
40:15See the Lord
40:15Well, it doesn't work.
40:18if you look closely
40:20Jesus
40:20instead of saying
40:21Let's see...
40:22No
40:22He gave them a catechism lesson.
40:24that he was arriving
40:25the moment
40:26which one must take
40:26decisions
40:27but people
40:31He still comes to mass
40:32to see the Lord
40:34curious people
40:37people who don't commit
40:39people who don't want
40:40make changes
40:41serious in their lives
40:42and organize your house
40:44and organize
40:45their environments
40:45so that God
40:46may have
40:47truly
40:48a space
40:48And what happens?
40:50Well, what today
40:52we live

43:41So we have to start
43:43to rebuild
43:44We have to start
43:47to deconstruct
43:49our life
43:50for a start
43:51to rebuild
43:52in it
43:53We don't have time.
43:56for God
43:57because everything is already
43:58is busy
43:59Imagine
44:04that they put you in
44:04to jail
44:05you would no longer have
44:09time
44:10not at all
44:10more than for
44:11pray
44:12that you had
44:16a disease
44:16that they prostrated you
44:17in bed
44:17you would no longer have
44:18another time
44:19more than for
44:19pray
44:21so
44:23if there was time
44:25no yes yes
44:25time if there is
44:26no more than you have it
44:26all busy
44:27in what you want
44:28for God
44:30there's no time
44:31And that's why
44:33as it says
44:34the song
44:35And that's why
44:37we are
44:37how are we
44:38And that's why
44:39We never made progress
44:41And it seems so
44:42that we enjoy
44:43by seeing things
44:44the other way around
44:45And it's not a song
44:48new
44:48I think that
