00:00At that time, Jesus said to his disciples,
00:05You are the salt of the earth.
00:09If salt loses its taste, what can be used to restore its flavor?
00:15It's no longer useful and is thrown out onto the street for people to walk all over.
00:21You are the light of the world.
00:24A city built on top of a mountain cannot be hidden.
00:28And when a candle is lit, it is not hidden under a pot,
00:33but it is placed on a lampstand to give light to all in the house.
00:39Likewise, let your light shine before men.
00:42so that, seeing the good works you do,
00:47Give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
00:51This week, from the Word of God,
00:53We started last week
00:56This beautiful chapter, chapter 5 of Matthew.
01:02We'll be touring it in the coming weeks.
01:06We still have many left, right?
01:08We quickly started on the topic of Lent as well.
01:12But we've already started reviewing what the core is, right?
01:16The center of the Christian life, which, as we know, is a synthesis
01:25which the evangelist Matthew compiled, collecting many of Jesus's teachings
01:31that we would find in the other synoptic texts, elsewhere, in other contexts.
01:37But he meant to say, well,
01:39What is the Christian life all about?
01:41And he proposed it in chapters 5, 6 and 7.
01:46So if we apply our life and our attention
01:50Regarding these chapters, we will surely be able to make great progress.
01:54in our Christian life.
01:57Last week we read the first part,
02:01which are the Beatitudes,
02:03where he speaks to us of a new vision in the life of the human being.
02:09Well, who are the blessed ones?
02:11We usually think that they are the ones who do not suffer.
02:14And yet Jesus says no, that it is they who suffer.
02:18We generally think that, well, those who are doing well,
02:22Well, those are the cool ones, right?
02:24Those who do not suffer hardships, those who are not persecuted.
02:28And yet, Jesus says it's the other way around, to those who persecute.
02:32So, the rich are the ones who are doing well.
02:35Jesus says, no, it's the poor.
02:36So, the idea begins by changing the criteria.
02:41for our evaluation in our life.
02:44Because ordinarily, then, we are easily led astray
02:48by the current of the world
02:50And we call good what is bad and bad what is good.
02:54As the prophet Isaiah said long ago, right?
02:57So, the important thing is to start this change of mindset.
03:01After this first section of the Beatitudes,
03:10Chapter 5 begins, starting from verse 13,
03:13There is a small section which consists of these four verses
03:16that we just read, from verse 13 to verse 16.
03:20It basically has three parts.
03:23A part that tells us, you are the salt of the earth.
03:28I spoke about it in another of our homilies; you have it there.
03:32Yes, it would be good if they gave all this a quick once-over.
03:37all this topics from chapter 5.
03:39Put it there in your, get involved in active evangelization
03:42And go down there, go all the way to the bottom of the podcasts,
03:47when they get there for the homily of the week,
03:50go all the way down, all the way down, all the way down, all the way down,
03:52And that's almost where the podcasts end,
03:55There you will find where you can select
03:57and then select by appointment.
04:02Put the Gospel of Matthew there
04:04and then he's going to tell them the chapter
04:07And put on chapter 5 and tell her everything, right?
04:11Then all their homilies will come out.
04:13that have to do with chapter 5.
04:16It is an extremely important chapter.
04:19Numbers 5, 6, and 7 are all there.
04:22So, it's very important
04:23because if we manage to understand clearly
04:26Jesus' message in these chapters,
04:29brothers, for our life,
04:31we're going to have immense clarity
04:33in what is the Christian life.
04:37The first part is,
04:39You are the salt of the earth.
04:41Salt is for making things,
04:43especially over time,
04:44don't spoil.
04:46There were no refrigerators,
04:48then they would grab the fish,
04:50because they couldn't eat all the fish
04:51that was caught,
04:53then they added salt,
04:54They salted it and then ate it, right?
04:56They removed the salt and ate it.
04:57So it doesn't get spoiled.
05:00You are the salt of the earth,
05:02We are in charge
05:03that our world will ruin us.
05:07That would be the general idea.
05:09in this first view,
05:11in this first part.
05:13The second part has to do with light,
05:15a very important topic,
05:17especially in the Gospel of Saint John.
05:20Matthew doesn't touch on it in depth,
05:23However,
05:24This section leaves us with this section
05:26where it says,
05:27You are the light of the world.
05:29And here we have to go a little bit
05:33entering the dynamic
05:34What are we talking about now?
05:36with a post-Easter community,
05:39where the Holy Spirit has already come
05:42And then we have to explain
05:43this saying of Jesus,
05:46If you are the light of the world,
05:48but from a post-Easter perspective.
05:52In other words, if we don't do this,
05:54Well, we're not going to understand exactly.
05:55What could these people have understood?
05:57Surely,
05:59if these were exactly
06:00the words of Jesus,
06:01They must not have had any left.
06:03exactly clear
06:04What was it about?
06:06or at least in depth.
06:07Because remember that
06:08Holy Scripture
06:10It goes deeper.
06:11The more we read it,
06:13Well, we can go further in,
06:14Deeper,
06:15and especially to the extent
06:16in which we have a spiritual life
06:18much deeper,
06:19the Holy Spirit,
06:21We'll talk about this in a moment.
06:22the Holy Spirit
06:23It gradually illuminates with greater clarity.
06:26each of the passages.
06:28You are the light of the world.
06:31The light, he says,
06:33It's not put under a table,
06:36or it is covered with a pot.
06:38It's useless.
06:39The light must be turned on
06:41in a high place
06:42so that it may give light.
06:45The next part
06:47It has to do with
06:49This light is now available
06:52that convert
06:53not only in lighting,
06:56but it has to be converted
06:57Under construction.
06:59Three distinct elements.
07:00You are the salt
07:02that prevents them from being ruined
07:03things,
07:04I mean,
07:04that society
07:05It doesn't spoil.
07:08You are the light
07:09of the world
07:10that illuminates,
07:11They must illuminate
07:12the criteria
07:13of our communities,
07:15of our society,
07:18which is good
07:19and that it's bad.
07:20Not what I say
07:21Dr. Kurzban Bimbask,
07:22the best psychologist
07:23of the world,
07:24or the best sociologist
07:25of the world,
07:26but what it says
07:28God in his word.
07:30That's where the lighting is.
07:32We have
07:32that illuminate
07:34This topic too,
07:35I already tried it
07:36in one of the homilies
07:38when we saw
07:39this text
07:40from Matthew 5,
07:4313, 16.
07:45I would like to leave
07:46to the last part.
07:48If they have there
07:49their Bibles,
07:49I would like you to
07:51we reread this
07:52to go in a little bit
07:53in the context.
07:55Let's go to the Gospel
07:57Matthew's
07:58in chapter 5
08:00and verse 16
08:02which is the last
08:03verse
08:03of this pericope
08:05says
08:07Let your light shine
08:08in front of men
08:10so that
08:11upon seeing
08:12his good works
08:13upon seeing
08:17his good works
08:18give glory
08:19to the Father
08:19that is
08:21in the heavens.
08:22So
08:23then the light
08:24It has two elements
08:26important.
08:27glow up
08:29to society
08:30We are the suppliers
08:32of the criteria
08:33really,
08:34We are the suppliers
08:35of the road
08:36towards happiness
08:37and towards peace,
08:38but at the same time
08:40our life
08:41It has to have
08:42a look
08:43very particular
08:44in such a way
08:47that only
08:48just seeing each other
08:49one,
08:50Let's illuminate
08:51two,
08:54our works
08:55give glory
08:56bye bye.
08:58Let's talk
08:58of the first part.
09:01Our life
09:01siblings
09:02Jesus says
09:03has to illuminate
09:04and this lighting
09:07It is done
09:07through
09:08of our own
09:09person,
09:10not only
09:11of our words
09:12and of the criteria
09:13that we
09:14we could have
09:15when at a meeting
09:17business
09:17we propose
09:18the Christian path,
09:20when our
09:20conversations
09:21with the family
09:22we promote
09:23the Christian life,
09:24I mean,
09:25the criteria,
09:26the path
09:26to take
09:27within our
09:28family,
09:29the path
09:29to take
09:30inside
09:31of our
09:31company,
09:32the path
09:33to take
09:33inside
09:34of our
09:34nation,
09:35It would have to be
09:36proposed
09:37for us.
09:38That's the proposal
09:39really
09:40that is born
09:41of the light
09:42that God
09:42has put
09:43in our
09:43hearts.
09:44but not only
09:47it is through
09:47from this,
09:48but through
09:49of our
09:50own life,
09:52in such a way
09:53that our
09:54life,
09:54when people
09:55He sees her,
09:56illuminates,
09:58when people
09:59go
10:00what we are like,
10:01how we treat each other,
10:03how we react,
10:04how we manage
10:05our businesses,
10:06how we manage
10:07our families,
10:08when they see
10:09our works,
10:11We illuminate.
10:11And that's why
10:13says that
10:13the Christian,
10:15that's why
10:16he tells us
10:16that the Christian
10:18has to
10:19put on
10:20at the top,
10:22Yeah?
10:23People
10:24has to
10:24see you,
10:26today people
10:27doesn't see
10:28to the Christians
10:29and then
10:30doesn't know
10:31which path
10:32take our
10:33life,
10:33It does not illuminate
10:34nothing,
10:34It does not illuminate
10:35to no one,
10:37we have to
10:37excel
10:38and as I have
10:39said others
10:40times,
10:40when one
10:41one is
10:41really
10:42Christian,
10:44Well, it's difficult.
10:45that people
10:45I didn't notice,
10:47as a saying goes
10:48that I have mentioned to them
10:49a lot,
10:50that shocked me
10:51a lot and has stayed
10:52as part
10:52of my life
10:53and I preach it
10:54often,
10:55the father said
10:56left,
10:57whoever has it
10:58He can't hide it,
11:00It's going to show.
11:02I mean,
11:02the one who is truly
11:03Christian,
11:03People are going to realize
11:05who is a Christian,
11:06his way of being,
11:07her way of dressing,
11:08their way of treating
11:09to the others,
11:09their way of carrying
11:10their marriage,
11:11their way of treating
11:12to the children,
11:13of treating the parents,
11:15People say,
11:16this person
11:16It's different,
11:19It's noticeable.
11:21if you remember,
11:21does,
11:23not the exercises
11:23from last year,
11:24but those of the year
11:25ancestor,
11:26who was talking about frogs,
11:27Do you remember?
11:28which is as if we were,
11:30if the gospel
11:31or evangelization
11:32would convert us,
11:33it was taking us
11:34to become
11:35in frogs,
11:36And I say,
11:37It would be very difficult.
11:38or practically impossible
11:40that someone didn't notice
11:42that here in the middle
11:42There is a frog,
11:44I mean,
11:44a person
11:45which is
11:46green
11:47and that has palm groves
11:49And you say,
11:50No,
11:50That's a frog.
11:51But it looks human.
11:52or looks like a frog,
11:53what is it?
11:53It's a human frog,
11:56I don't think it would happen
11:57unnoticed,
11:58it isn't true?
11:59it would be noticeable
11:59and this
12:01That's what it does
12:03that people
12:04Give glory to God
12:06because it says,
12:07You saw
12:08They get along so well
12:08that couple,
12:09Blessed be God
12:10that there is this type
12:11of couples,
12:12They get along so well
12:13This family,
12:13Blessed be God,
12:15You saw
12:15She handles it well.
12:17your company,
12:18You see?
12:18You look great,
12:19You see?
12:20seeing
12:22his good works,
12:25good works
12:26that have to do with
12:27also with the topic
12:28of charity,
12:31when people
12:31go
12:32how we love each other
12:34said
12:34Saint Justin,
12:36said
12:36see
12:37how much they love each other,
12:41see
12:41how much they love each other,
12:43I mean,
12:44is the sign
12:45characteristic
12:47from a Christian,
12:49the form
12:49in which we love each other
12:51and this
12:52has to get
12:54aloft,
12:55we have to
12:56make others
12:57realize,
12:59our life
12:59It has to be
13:00that light
13:01that illuminates,
13:02that guides,
13:03that accompanies
13:04to the communities,
13:06if today we have
13:07well
13:07communities
13:09that they keep throwing away
13:10for the mountain
13:11And we have so much
13:11insecurity
13:12and so many problems,
13:13because it is precisely
13:14because life
13:16of the Christian
13:16because it doesn't illuminate
13:18a lot,
13:19we are not
13:20illuminating
13:21properly
13:22to our society,
13:23nor with criteria
13:25We feel sorry for them,
13:28we don't want
13:28that they make us
13:29bullying,
13:31we don't want
13:31Let them criticize us
13:32or even
13:33at some point
13:34they can take us out
13:35of our groups
13:36social
13:37or even
13:38of our
13:38companies
13:39for having
13:40criteria
13:41that don't go
13:41OK
13:42to the criteria
13:42of the company
13:43and we have
13:45fear,
13:45We are afraid
13:46and then
13:47What do we do?
13:48we get in
13:49below
13:49from the table
13:50we put
13:51our light
13:52inside
13:53from a pot
13:54and it no longer shines
13:55and then
13:56because we are
13:57like the others
13:58at least
13:59That's how they see us
14:00and the only time
14:03in which we leave
14:03because in the light
14:04Well, this is it.
14:05in the church
14:05but here in the church
14:06we don't need
14:07that they bear witness
14:07siblings
14:08here all of us who come
14:10because it is supposed to
14:11that we know
14:11that we are
14:12and that we are
14:12doing here
14:13the matter
14:14It's out there
14:15the beginning
14:17of evangelization
14:18It is born from testimony
14:20of a life
14:21straight
14:22lived
14:22according to the gospel
14:24There will be some
14:26that they have
14:26charisma
14:27of preaching
14:27There will be some
14:29that are
14:29a bit better
14:30prepared
14:30because they have studied
14:31some more
14:32from the Bible
14:33in the end
14:34for different reasons
14:35God may call
14:36to someone
14:37to do
14:38a testimony
14:40because it's clearer
14:41more open
14:41but not all
14:43we are called
14:44to do that
14:44Sometimes people
14:46feels bad
14:46Oh, it's just that I
14:47I feel sorry for you.
14:47I can't
14:48What am I going to do?
14:49Well
14:50with your life
14:51your good works
14:54they testify
14:55Who are you?
14:56that you are
14:57when people
15:01He sees you
15:01how you act
15:03how you interact
15:05with your classmates
15:05from school
15:06with your classmates
15:07work
15:08your neighbors
15:10See how they treat
15:11how they are treated
15:11the spouses
15:12how to treat
15:13the family
15:14all that
15:16to the people
15:17the question
15:18a lot more
15:20the question
15:21when situations
15:22They are like in this case
15:23difficult
15:24we live today
15:25a situation
15:26in our world
15:27complicated
15:28difficult
15:29and the people
15:31He sees that the Christian
15:32despite
15:32that the situation
15:34It's difficult.
15:35smile
15:36yet
15:38She always has hope.
15:39because we
15:41we believe
15:41and we trust
15:42truly
15:43in a God
15:43that is pending
15:45of us
15:45We will read it
15:47a little further on
15:48in chapter 6
15:49when he
15:50when we read
15:51the final part
15:52where
15:53invites us
15:54the Lord
15:54well, not being there
15:55worried
15:56What are we going to eat?
15:57or what we'll leave with
15:58to dress
15:59says if God
16:00feeds
16:01to the birds
16:02no
16:03that are not
16:03harvesting
16:04nor do they sow
16:05Are you worthless?
16:06more than a bird
16:07It's not going to give you
16:07to eat you
16:08or a flower
16:09that in the morning
16:10grows
16:10and in the afternoon
16:11It's already drying
16:12And she's beautiful.
16:13nor Solomon
16:14She dressed like this
16:14you think
16:16that you're worth less
16:16that
16:17Trust in the Lord
16:19and in that word
16:20in that light
16:21No way.
16:22in our heart
16:23then we
16:24in the middle
16:25of the crisis
16:26we are
16:27with peace
16:28That doesn't mean
16:29sit down
16:30Let's see what happens
16:31the bird
16:32doesn't just stand there watching
16:33Let's see if it falls for him
16:33a bunch of grapes
16:34there in their nest
16:35He leaves every morning
16:38as we say
16:40no to persecution
16:40the chop
16:41over there
16:43of a little garden
16:44in the little garden
16:45and of place
16:45instead
16:46and in a place
16:47eats a little worm
16:48and in another
16:48eats one
16:48a little seed
16:50And so it goes
16:50all day
16:51and God
16:52in the end
16:53makes her tummy
16:54is full
16:55Well
16:57we do it
16:58the same
16:59We're not worried
17:01us
17:01we occupy
17:02That's what people say.
17:05He sees it
17:05people
17:08that loses
17:09a
17:09a relative
17:10who dies
17:13someone close
17:15how it reacts
17:17a person
17:18who has God
17:18in his life
17:19and how does it react?
17:21a person
17:21who does not have God
17:22in his life
17:22I think that's it
17:24on some occasion
17:25I told them something
17:26that
17:27for me too
17:28have been
17:28those great lessons
17:29of God
17:30in my life

17:32of teaching
17:33there
17:34in three paths
17:35they touched me
17:37two experiences
17:39very close
17:40one of the other
17:40of death

20:01I don't know what disease
20:02I would be

20:04But there's the place
20:06where the wake was being held

20:08There was peace

20:13It was quiet
20:14how are you
20:16not very well
20:16well then
20:17finally rested
20:19in the end
20:19about three or four
20:21weeks later
20:22This person died
20:24that he had cancer
20:25in another colony
20:26this person
20:28like gaba
20:28I tell them
20:29every week
20:30I led a life
20:31of grace
20:31the woman always
20:32I had the rosary there
20:34I mean
20:34It was a family
20:35truly Christian
20:37I mean
20:37was applied
20:38to life
20:39devotee
20:40the other
20:41family
20:42nothing to do with it
20:44I went every week
20:46to celebrate the word
20:47to that community
20:49and never attended
20:51neither she
20:52nor the husband
20:53nor the children
20:53nobody
20:54when I arrive
20:56as
20:57The car couldn't get in.
20:59in the colony
20:59that at that time
21:00this
21:01It didn't have pavement yet.
21:03then I had to leave
21:05the car
21:06in which I moved
21:06about two blocks
21:08from where I was
21:09this person's house
21:10I hadn't gotten off
21:12of the car
21:13screams could already be heard
21:14some screams
21:15I mean, one thing
21:16It was crazy
21:17There is the people's house
21:18a crazy thing
21:20shouting
21:21cries
21:22Why did you take her, sir?
21:25and well
21:25Forget what I can tell you
21:27So I tried to calm down
21:28a bit
21:29while they were being made
21:30the funeral
21:30TRUE?
21:31but people
21:32resentful towards God
21:33because it had been taken
21:35a lady
21:35Well, he's already 70 years old.
21:36I mean, well, now too.
21:37And then I understood
21:41the action of God
21:42in the heart
21:43of man
21:44that is, the family
21:45this one that I had
21:46God in your heart
21:48I had peace
21:49I was happy
21:50I knew where I was going
21:52the wife
21:52the husband
21:54sorry
21:54calm
21:55the other
21:56despair
21:58the crying
21:59the testimony
22:00of one
22:01and from another
22:02completely
22:03different
22:04I would almost say
22:07diametrically
22:08different
22:09an action
22:13and another
22:15that are
22:16celebrating
22:17or are living
22:18the same situation
22:19death
22:20of the wife
22:21death
22:22of the husband
22:23one has
22:25despair
22:26the other
22:27has peace
22:27And that's what
22:29we see
22:30we don't see hearts
22:32we see the actions
22:33I think people
22:36I would say I wouldn't want to
22:37If that's what being a Christian is.
22:38no, not me
22:40If this is what it means to be a Christian
22:42I would like
22:42that when it happened to me
22:44a situation
22:44so serious
22:45such as loss
22:46of a loved one
22:47at an early age
22:48what is this
22:49I could have
22:50the peace that he has
22:51that widow
22:52I wish I had
22:54that serenity
22:55and then
22:59that's when
22:59it develops
23:00this process
23:01of evangelization
23:02through
23:03of our
23:04works
23:05seeing
23:06his works
23:07says the Lord
23:07seeing
23:09what you
23:10do
23:10how they behave
23:12how they dress
23:12how they live
23:13how they speak
23:15all this
23:15That's what it gives
23:16testimony
23:17real
23:17of what is
23:18passing
23:19in our hearts
23:20And that's why
23:22here
23:22I pull back a little
23:24the topic
23:24of the Spirit
23:25the Holy Spirit
23:27that is presented to us
23:28particularly
23:29in San Juan
23:30like light
23:31and like water
23:32and in Luke
23:35like fire
23:36all of them
23:38They have the characteristic
23:40to illuminate
23:40Why don't we turn on the lights?
23:43siblings?
23:45We don't illuminate
23:46because
23:47the Holy Spirit
23:48in us
23:49It does not illuminate
23:51because our life
23:52spiritual
23:53It's dry
23:54because we have
23:56little prayer
23:57because we have
23:59short fast
24:00because we confess
24:02bit
24:03because we don't have
24:05a relationship
24:05nearby
24:06I would be
24:07and deep
24:08with the Lord
24:09and then
24:12our life
24:13it consumes
24:15And that's why
24:17I'd like
24:17to wrap things up
24:19our reflection
24:20view a text
24:22which is also
24:23in the Gospel
24:24Matthew's
24:26It's in the chapter
24:2725
24:28and with that
24:30opens what will be
24:31the chapter
24:32Matthew has two chapters
24:34who talk about the topic
24:35of the end of the world
24:36which is the 24th
24:38and the 25th
24:39and with this parable
24:41Open the chapter
24:4325
24:44says
24:45happens
24:47with the kingdom
24:48from the heavens
24:48what with those
24:49ten virgins
24:50that came out
24:51with their lamps
24:52to the meeting
24:53of the husband
24:54five of them
24:56They were foolish
24:56and five prudent ones
24:58the foolish ones
24:59when taking the lamps
25:01none were provided
25:02of oil
25:02while the prudent
25:04They brought supplies
25:05of oil
25:06along with the lamp
25:08like the husband
25:09it was taking
25:09They got sleepy.
25:10and they fell asleep
25:11at midnight
25:13A scream was heard
25:13The husband is arriving.
25:15go out to meet him
25:16all the virgins
25:18They woke up
25:19and they prepared
25:19their lamps
25:20the foolish ones
25:21they said
25:22to the prudent
25:23lend us
25:24of its oil
25:24that our lamps
25:26They are turning off
25:27the prudent ones
25:30they responded
25:31since we don't have
25:32enough
25:33for us
25:33And for you
25:34It's better if they go
25:35to the sellers
25:36and buy it
25:37while they were going to buy it
25:40The husband arrived
25:41those who were prepared
25:43They went in with him
25:44to weddings
25:44and the door closed
25:46later
25:47They also arrived
25:48the other virgins
25:49saying
25:49Sir
25:50Sir
25:50open us
25:51But he replied
25:53I assure you
25:54I don't know them
25:56that's why
25:57be prepared
25:58because they don't know
25:59the day
26:00nor the time
26:01I tell them
26:01This is
26:02within the
26:03eschatological discourse
26:05of Saint Matthew
26:06But it works for us.
26:07very good
26:07to illuminate
26:08this topic
26:10of the light
26:10within us
26:12the Holy Spirit
26:14consume
26:15so to speak
26:15somehow
26:16consume
26:17grace
26:19we can say
26:20that oil
26:21It's like
26:22grace
26:23that we
26:24we received
26:24when we pray
26:25when we confess
26:27when we take communion
26:28all that is
26:29like oil
26:31that is
26:32maintaining
26:33turned on
26:33the lamp
26:35the more
26:37we fight
26:38against sin
26:39that lamp
26:40it is being consumed
26:41It consumes oil.
26:42is always
26:43consuming oil
26:44while the lamp
26:45shines
26:46everyone
26:46realizes
26:47You have good ideas.
26:48good thoughts
26:49you can illuminate
26:50to your family
26:51to your son
26:51to your father
26:52always is
26:53There is light
26:53of God
26:54operating on your heart
26:55but it is
26:56consuming oil
26:58It is consuming oil
26:59and there comes a moment
27:02where it ends
27:04the oil
27:04We've seen it here
27:06sometimes
27:07our lamps
27:08They are lamps
27:09of oil
27:09and surely
27:10on some occasion
27:11have realized
27:12that one of them
27:13It turns off
27:14because?
27:15because they didn't put
27:15They forgot
27:17to the ministers
27:17put oil on them
27:18It turns off
27:20oh well
27:23we here
27:24then afterwards
27:24for the next mass
27:25They already put it on
27:25oh well
27:26for that mass
27:27He already left
27:28Well
27:30that's exactly it
27:31what happens
27:32in our lives
27:32siblings
27:33Why aren't we turning on the lights?
27:36Why don't we do
27:37Works that illuminate?
27:38Why don't we have
27:39criteria that shed light?
27:40because our lamps
27:42they are fading away
27:43They gradually consume the oil.
27:45it is being consumed
27:46it is being consumed
27:47it is being consumed
27:47until the moment arrives
27:49where there is no more oil
27:52and it's going to turn off
27:54and then
27:55What are left?
27:56only human criteria
27:58How do you think?
28:00because you think without light
28:01The light no longer shines
28:03your mind
28:03It no longer illuminates
28:04your heart
28:05It no longer illuminates
28:06your criteria
28:07It no longer illuminates
28:08nothing
28:09and then
28:10your life
28:10starts walking
28:12in the dark
28:13of our world
28:14and you are a person
28:15so
28:16who lives in darkness
28:17like everyone else
28:18who do not confess
28:20They do not take communion
28:20They don't pray or anything.
28:21and its criteria
28:22are exactly
28:23the same
28:24in one case
28:25a woman
28:27that has its lamp
28:28turned on
28:28her husband
28:30He is dying
28:30is consuming
28:32lots of oil
28:33because it has to
28:35to live a situation
28:37truly
28:38exhausting
28:39It needs a lot of light.
28:40He needs a lot of peace.
28:42to avoid despair
28:43to know that
28:44It is a disease
28:46that has no remedy
28:47and that he is going to die
28:48her husband
28:49and remain at peace
28:51is consuming
28:52the oil
28:53is consuming
28:54is consuming
28:55but
28:56It is feeding
28:58He's pouring oil on it
28:59every week
29:00confesses
29:00communion
29:01pray the rosary
29:02every day
29:03maintains a relationship
29:04with God
29:05through his word
29:06She is a woman of God
29:07She is a woman of faith
29:08She is a woman
29:09that he's throwing
29:09continuously
29:10She is a prudent woman
29:11that is feeding
29:15continuously
29:16your oil cruet
29:17the light
29:18There it is
29:19The husband died
29:21Too bad
29:22How sad.
29:24how difficult
29:25But there is the light
29:27There are the criteria
29:29of the gospel
29:30that word is there
29:31that says
29:31I will resurrect him
29:32that word that says
29:33I took it with me
29:34to heaven
29:35that peace that God
29:36generates in the heart
29:37etc.
29:37The light is there
29:39And people see it
29:41You can't help but see it
29:43you can't not say
29:45There's something here
29:46and you may not see it
29:47she has been
29:48for my life
29:49and surely
29:50for many others
29:51that lamp
29:52that shines in the sky
29:53that went up
29:54of a candlestick
29:57and from there
29:58It illuminated my life
29:59to tell me
30:00if that's true
30:01that's how it pulls
30:02me at that time
30:03because he hadn't lost
30:04nothing at all
30:05but
30:05when you see a person
30:07That's what you say
30:07because?
30:11Why is that?
30:13And when you see the other one
30:15with a dry lamp
30:17an empty lamp
30:18when you need peace
30:20when you need it again
30:22criteria for acceptance
30:24an irreversible situation
30:26I had cancer
30:27The wife was going to die
30:28They both knew
30:29that they were both going to die
30:30It's not that suddenly
30:32He was run over
30:32that sometimes
30:33It's a little more difficult
30:34when death
30:35It is sudden
30:36without expecting it
30:37No
30:37here both
30:39They had diseases
30:40terminals
30:42that is to say
30:42I already knew
30:43that he was going to die
30:43and the other person
30:44I also knew
30:44that he was going to die
30:45a reaction
30:46with peace
30:47calmly
30:48with joy
30:48illuminates
30:49to your entire community
30:51including me
30:52and the other
30:53It doesn't illuminate anything
30:54He tells us
30:55of the same criteria
30:57from the same despair
30:58that everyone has
30:59who doesn't know
31:00where is your relative going?
31:01who has no faith
31:02in the resurrection
31:03and that has no peace
31:05because it doesn't have oil
31:06your oil cruet
31:07and at that moment brothers
31:10Believe me
31:11You can't put oil on it.
31:13I would like one
31:18TRUE?
31:18But I can't put my faith in him.
31:20I can't
31:21I can't tell you
31:23that he pray
31:24because he doesn't even want to pray
31:25he can't even pray
31:26I mean
31:27I can't give it oil
31:29And that's why
31:30they burst into tears
31:31and despair
31:32And that's why
31:33They sometimes drift apart
31:34much more of God
31:35because I can't do that
31:37that's why
31:38this parable
31:39although it is
31:40in another context
31:41It works very well for us
31:43to illustrate
31:44Give us a little
31:46of its oil
31:46we cannot
31:49go ahead
31:51And what happened?
31:55well when they arrived
31:57They had already closed
31:58the door
31:59and says
32:01And that's where the crying will come from.
32:02and despair
32:04then the
32:06I think the invitation
32:07of this week
32:08my brothers
32:08on the topic
32:09which we are discussing today
32:11is to maintain
32:12a strong relationship
32:13with God
32:14in such a way
32:15that our oil cruet
32:16the light
32:17that light
32:19comes from God
32:20It is the one that illuminates
32:21my heart
32:22that's where they come from
32:23all my feelings
32:24for charity
32:25that's where they come from
32:25all my criteria
32:27to manage my life
32:28my businesses
32:28my courtship
32:29my marriage
32:30The light is coming
32:31so that always
32:32go walking
32:33on the line
32:34of our Lord
32:35Keep your light
32:39turned on
32:40and not only
32:42Your life will be beautiful.
32:43but also
32:44you will illuminate
32:45to your entire community
32:47you will illuminate
32:48to your family
32:49to your children
32:50to your husband
32:51to your wife
32:52to your parents
32:53because of the light of God
32:54is always
32:56acting
32:57the Holy Spirit
32:58is always alive
32:59is illuminating
33:00there is the flame
33:01lit
33:02Today we have
33:03electric light
33:04TRUE?
33:05but over time
33:06this had
33:07much significance
33:08for us
33:09so they are
33:10more like decorations
33:11No?
33:11the lamps
33:12in time
33:14of Jesus
33:15It was the light
33:16There was no other way
33:18to watch at night
33:18more than with a lamp
33:20so
33:22that's where it comes from
33:23the idea
33:23to say
33:24OK
33:24the light
33:25the light is coming
33:27of the Spirit
33:28from that fire
33:29It's turned on there.
33:30There's fire
33:31in that lamp
33:32And why is there fire?
33:34because there is oil
33:35Is the oil running out?
33:38The fire is out
33:41the same thing happens
33:43in our lives
33:44The fun is over
33:46The fire is out
33:48And if the fire went out
33:50There is no light anymore
33:51There is no light anymore
33:54your life now
33:55walk again
33:56in the dark
33:58and brothers
33:59walking in the dark
34:00It's the worst
34:02decision
34:03that we can take
34:04It's the worst decision
34:06that we can take
34:07and so we give
34:09Today to the Lord
34:10that helps us
34:11to understand
34:12these ideas
34:13that the Lord
34:14today tells us
34:15You are the light
34:16of the world
34:17and the light goes out
34:19above
34:19so that it may shine
34:20and that light
34:22be so strong
34:23and so penetrating
34:25that not only
34:26shine a light on others
34:28but through
34:29her
34:29may be able to people
34:31give glory to God
34:32through my own life
34:34Let us ask the Lord
34:36that we can
34:37establish
34:39or restore
34:40There are people who had
34:40a life
34:41very full of God
34:42TRUE
34:43who prayed
34:43and all
34:43but due to situations
34:45TRUE
34:45from when we grew up
34:47We entered the faculty
34:49to high school
34:50We started working
34:52and so we grabbed
34:53stampede
34:54we let go to mass
34:56to the holy hours
34:57We no longer go to confession
34:58and then well
34:59well maybe
35:00we are returning
35:01a little bit like mass
35:01but our life
35:02It's dry
35:03you come here
35:05So you come to mass
35:07Well, they kick you out.
35:08a little squirt, buddy
35:08for Tuesday
35:09There is no more oil
35:10if you don't take communion
35:14for Tuesday
35:14There is no more oil
35:15It's more
35:16probably
35:16for Monday
35:16in the afternoon
35:17that they shut you down
35:19Lie to him there
35:20all the lies
35:20to the other
35:20no, well, that's it
35:23It turned off
35:24if you didn't have
35:27a lot of problems
35:27probably
35:28It lasts you through the night
35:29And if you were
35:30at your house
35:30calmly
35:31for Tuesday
35:32And then it was over
35:33there's no need to come
35:36Sunday at mass
35:37to fill
35:39with the
35:39with the Eucharist
35:40and it will be consumed
35:43on the day
35:43but at night
35:44You spend about half an hour
35:4620 minutes of prayer
35:47And look
35:50I was about to say the prayer
35:52but
35:52It's that these ideas
35:53that's how I am
35:54when one
35:55the
35:55puts it into practice
35:58you can start to understand
35:59some things
36:00For example
36:00that don't happen
36:02in reality
36:02in reality
36:06We will always have
36:07a wick
36:09We will always have
36:10a little wick
36:12of a diameter
36:13always
36:13and it will always give
36:15that light
36:17It will never change.
36:18always the same
36:18but in the Christian life
36:20as this is only
36:21an example
36:21It doesn't happen like that.
36:22in the Christian life
36:24to the extent
36:25where you add oil
36:26so
36:28the wick grows
36:29and then
36:32first you have it
36:335 millimeters
36:34if he keeps praying
36:35it's going to grow
36:36of 6
36:36and then to 7
36:38and then to 8
36:39And then you'll have
36:41a cape
36:41of this size
36:42imagine
36:43a candle
36:44that has
36:45a wick
36:462 inches
36:48imagine
36:50the light
36:51that radiates
36:52because it is a living being
36:57It is the Holy Spirit
36:58This is dead
36:59They are inanimate things
37:01but the spirit does not
37:02and our life is not
37:03so
37:04if we move this
37:05to our life
37:06and we do the exercise
37:07with this same example
37:09we say
37:09very good
37:10there is no oil
37:11It turns off
37:12spot
37:12OK
37:13But I'm keeping him there
37:14the little oil
37:15TRUE
37:16there, then, a little one
37:17TRUE
37:17like when one
37:18one was
37:18student
37:19No
37:20Put in 10 pesos
37:21well right now
37:21not enough
37:22not at all
37:22with 10 pesos
37:23gasoline
37:23oh well
37:25in my time
37:2510 pesos
37:26It was wool
37:27because it cost
37:2880 cents
37:28the liter
37:29imagine
37:31that cost
37:3280 cents
37:33the liter
37:33of the red
37:3490
37:36the green one
37:38and when they took out
37:39the 100
37:40which were 100 octane
37:42one day I bought
37:44of that
37:44I couldn't pay
37:45my car
37:45as if it were
37:47diesel
37:47it got stuck
37:48I couldn't pay
37:48until it
37:50The gasoline ran out.
37:51good
37:52that I threw
37:52a little
37:53because it cost
37:53one peso
37:54but
37:56in this
37:58in this example
37:59The more you add
38:00more it grows
38:01But if you have it
38:02So
38:02well you add it
38:0350 pesos
38:05to your car
38:05No way, man.
