00:00In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and he was in the beginning.
00:16God. From the beginning, he was with God; all things came into existence through him and without him.
00:24He started nothing that exists. He was life, and life was the light of men. The light shines in
00:33The darkness did not receive him. There was a man sent by God whose name was
00:41John. He came as a witness to testify concerning the light, so that all might believe through him.
00:48He was not the light, but a witness to the light. He who is the Word was the true light that illuminates.
00:57to every man who comes into this world. He was in the world. The world had been made by him and without him.
01:05However, the world did not recognize him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all those who
01:14He received it and granted them the power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name, who did not
01:22They were born of blood, not of the desire of the flesh, nor by the will of man, but they were born of God.
01:30And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We have seen his glory, glory that was in him.
01:38He is the only begotten Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. John the Baptist bore witness to this.
01:45He who cried out to me, this is the one I meant when I said, 'He who comes after me has precedence over me.'
01:52because it existed before me. From his fullness we have all received grace upon grace, because the
02:00The law was given through Moses, while grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one can deceive God.
02:09has never seen. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, is the one who has revealed it.
02:15Throughout Advent we have been talking about this religious feast, this feast that today the
02:36The world needs to reclaim what is part of its essence, drawing from it everything that today the
02:44The world has thus adapted as part of a celebration that no longer has a religious meaning, but rather
02:51Rather, it is gradually becoming a more commercial, human-driven celebration. The birth
02:59Brothers and sisters, Jesus Christ, a little over two thousand years ago, divided history in two. That is why we speak today.
03:06Before Christ and after Christ. From this event, a historical event,
03:14All of humanity begins a new cycle, a new reality. That is why we
03:23We understand that we are living in this new reality that we call the end times, as will be
03:29frequently mentioned, particularly by the evangelist Saint John in some of his writings.
03:36We are living in these last times, and these last times are for us the reason for our
03:44celebration. We celebrate a historical event that has significance, that has an impact on life
03:52of humanity. The question today would be, what impact did this have on humanity, this thing that transformed history?
04:01of the world? Does it have an impact on my life? Because this is what defines what I am celebrating.
04:11When we celebrate a party that's important to us, I'll say our birthday,
04:17It's an important celebration; we're celebrating that I'm in the world, that thanks to God I have life.
04:21I have friends and I invite them over, then I take care of them and throw a big party because it's my party.
04:27It's the festival where I'm celebrating my birthday, or those who celebrate their saint's day in other places.
04:35Anyway, it's a celebration that's very personal to me. So, I organize the party and the gifts.
04:42and everything that these kinds of celebrations entail at any given time. But let's imagine that I am not
04:51I'm not invited to the party, but rather to the party of someone I don't know. Someone comes up to me and says,
04:58Hey, look, Pito Pérez's party is on. And who's Pito Pérez? Well, he's a friend of mine whose birthday it is today.
05:04Well then, let's go to the party. Am I celebrating something? No. I'm going to a lunch or a dinner.
05:13There's going to be a party, there's going to be drinking, there's going to be dancing, whatever else is going to happen at that party.
05:18And I go and enjoy the party, but sometimes, I don't know if it's happened to you, I think especially when you're young
05:26We're more involved in these kinds of topics, but maybe it's happened to one of us that you go to the party
05:32And you didn't even meet the birthday boy. Because you don't know him, I mean, you don't know who he is among,
05:41especially for a big party, for example a 15th birthday and all that kind of thing,
05:45Well, we've identified the 15-year-old, right? But who knows who her parents and everyone else are?
05:50We went there, we just crashed the party, right? We arrived there at the party.
05:57And we enjoyed it. But it has no significance for me; I'm not celebrating anything at all.
06:04The beautiful thing about the holidays is when I celebrate something that has a reference to my own life.
06:13The first Christians understood this festival as something personal.
06:19This feast is already a late feast within the church, probably at the beginning of the 4th century,
06:25At the end of the 3rd century, it was established as a liturgical feast, as a feast for the whole church.
06:30The birth of the Lord. With this they were going to complete the Passover of Christ with the birth.
06:37So, that's where this whole story began. This story of salvation begins with the birth of the Lord.
06:45And so this festival was created because it was related to Easter.
06:49And Easter has meaning in relation to my conversion, my participation in the life of Christ.
06:57And to understand this, which might help us, well, we're already on the 25th,
07:05We're here now, the party was probably last night with friends, relatives, and so on.
07:11And today we might also have some other meetings with our families, etc.
07:17Today is also a holiday.
07:19But it has to be a religious holiday.
07:21What am I really celebrating?
07:23What does the church celebrate?
07:28To understand it, today we have listened to this text from the prologue of Saint John.
07:34An eminently theological text that presents us with a series of realities
07:39which we are sometimes not very aware of.
07:42I would like to begin by reading a small part of this text in which I would like to emphasize
07:48because I believe that this is what largely gives us the meaning of what we are celebrating in the church today.
07:56If you would like to go to chapter 1 of the Gospel of John, in this prologue,
08:05And I'm going to read verses 12 and 13.
08:20I'm going to read from chapter 10 to have the entire passage complete.
08:25The Word was in the world, and though God made the world through him,
08:31Those who are of the world did not recognize him.
08:36He came to his own world, but his own people did not receive him.
08:41He's speaking here, he's giving us a reference of what he's seen.
08:47Jesus came and there was rejection.
08:49His own people, the people of the world, therefore, rejected everything he had created.
08:55He did not accept Jesus.
08:57There was a rejection.
08:59But look how interesting it is.
09:02Verse 12, that's why I was going to read from verse 12.
09:05But who are those who did receive him and believe in him?
09:10Us, right?
09:11Christians.
09:13They are the ones we have received and believed in.
09:19It says that to those who received him and believed in him, he granted the privilege of becoming children of God.
09:29So, the first thing the evangelist is understanding,
09:33that this event, that is, that the word of God became incarnate,
09:39who has lived among us,
09:41The first thought that comes to mind is that this situation makes us children of God.
09:49In other words, the first element we would have to understand in this celebration of the birth
09:55We are children of God, we who have believed.
09:59And look at what it says on the 13th.
10:01And they are children of God, not by nature or human desires,
10:07but because God has begotten them.
10:11Consider the great mystery that the first community understood.
10:16We cannot separate this celebration from Easter.
10:20Because it is during Easter that all of this that we just heard takes place,
10:25It is where Jesus, through his death and resurrection,
10:29makes us children of God.
10:34This is what we are celebrating.
10:36This is what the church understood.
10:38This is what I was celebrating.
10:40We are celebrating that we are children in the Son.
10:47It seems to me, unless you have a better opinion,
10:51This is something worth celebrating.
10:52It's just that, notice how we don't give ourselves much time for meditation,
11:00Because today, our world is running
11:02and we're always rushing around and in a hurry
11:05And we have a lot of work to do at home and in the office
11:08And well, everywhere, I mean, this multiplies.
11:12But if you were to take a moment to think,
11:16What does it mean for me to be a child of God?
11:22And this happens because Jesus becomes incarnate.
11:27And he comes among us and shares my human nature.
11:34He who had no human nature,
11:36You will recall a text we have already read a lot from Philippians,
11:39in chapter 2, where it says,
11:42He who was of human nature stripped himself of his privileges.
11:47and became flesh, became one like us.
11:53It has flesh like ours.
11:57And so he made us children of God.
12:00Sometimes one might wonder,
12:04So what does all this party have to do with it?
12:08And what's all this about?
12:12It makes sense if what I'm celebrating is that I'm a child of God.
12:17That's what I'm celebrating.
12:20And this should naturally lead me to thanksgiving.
12:23How often do we dedicate time
12:29in our celebration on the 24th, the 25th,
12:33to tell the Lord,
12:35Thank you for making me a child of God
12:37And that's why we're having this big party today.
12:41Thank you, Lord.
12:42Thank you because now, thanks to your birth,
12:46I am also a child of God.
12:48But all these biblical elements,
12:53all these elements that for the first community
12:56were extremely important,
12:59We have been losing them.
13:01Christmas, with all its economic power,
13:05because it has led to this really
13:06a commercial-type party.
13:10The important thing is to buy, buy, buy.
13:12the little gift and not the little gift,
13:13and the party, and the wine and not the wine,
13:15and the turkey and not the turkey,
13:16and the leg, and the tamale,
13:18And you say, let's see, let's see, let's see,
13:20Alright.
13:22Whenever we're going to have a party,
13:23We did get agitated, didn't we?
13:25On our birthday,
13:27Well, we also want to know if the wine...
13:29And if we're going for tamales or whatever...
13:30It's true.
13:32But isn't it true that while you're preparing
13:36Are you thinking about your party?
13:41On what day are you going to say,
13:43Today I turn 40, 30, 20, 10 years old.
13:47TRUE?
13:47The children were very happy,
13:49and they're going to break the piñata,
13:50and they're going to invite their friends,
13:52because it's his birthday.
13:57Today we lose sight
13:59the profound meaning of our celebration,
14:03what is
14:04that we have been made
14:07children of God,
14:08those who received it,
14:10Those who believed in Him,
14:12And this is an important fact,
14:14those who received it
14:15and they believed in Him,
14:17What is happening in our world today?
14:19Why do we have such a pagan Christmas?
14:22Because those who celebrate it
14:24They no longer believe in Him.
14:27The celebration is no longer connected
14:30with the celebration of Easter.
14:33She is no longer connected
14:34with the conversion.
14:36This party is already here
14:37It has no impact on my life.
14:40and then,
14:41What am I celebrating?
14:43Well, Japanese Christmas,
14:46little pine tree,
14:48little tree,
14:50a little,
14:52little gift,
14:53and behind this,
14:56that?
14:58Nothing.
15:00Yeah?
15:01See another text
15:02which we have already seen
15:03and that complements this
15:05in Galatians.
15:06Says,
15:27I'm going to read
15:27the verses
15:29from 6 to 7.
15:32Galatians 4,
15:33We read it recently,
15:37We read from the 4th,
15:38Now we're going to read
15:38the 6th and the 7th,
15:40they say,
15:42And because we are already children,
15:44Hey?
15:44Do you notice?
15:45I mean,
15:46the apostle
15:47understand,
15:48It feels like it,
15:49He is speaking in the first person,
15:50Yeah?
15:51And he's talking
15:51of this community
15:52to which it addresses
15:53your letter.
15:55That is to say,
15:55to those who already feel
15:56children of God,
15:58to those who were not begotten
15:59nor from the meat
16:00nor of the blood,
16:00but by the will of God,
16:02because they believed in Him,
16:03for having accepted it.
16:04Well,
16:05These are the ones who already feel
16:07and they know themselves to be children of God,
16:08says.
16:10And because we are children of God,
16:12God sent the Spirit
16:13of his Son
16:15to our hearts
16:16and the Spirit cries out
16:17Abba.
16:19I mean,
16:20already the Holy Spirit
16:21He confirms,
16:23It makes me feel
16:24that I am a child of God,
16:25But not only that,
16:27Look at verse 7.
16:28Therefore,
16:30You are no longer a slave,
16:31but a son of God.
16:33And most importantly,
16:34in the end,
16:35and because he was his son,
16:37It is God's will
16:38that you may also be
16:39his heir.
16:46Imagine
16:46that you,
16:49I don't know anymore,
16:50because I also live
16:51just like you
16:52In this fast-paced world,
16:54I'm minding my own business.
16:54And you all do your own thing,
16:56I don't know if they have
16:57these dates,
16:57because before there had been
16:58the raffles.
17:04Well,
17:04Do you remember?
17:04when we did
17:05Christmas raffles?
17:05Just between us,
17:06TRUE?
17:07That always on the 25th
17:08it was raffled
17:09some car
17:10or something like that.
17:13But let's go
17:13a little bigger,
17:15not a car.
17:16Imagine
17:16that they warn them
17:18that were taken out
17:1930 million pesos.
17:21Would you do
17:26or not a party?
17:28A huge party,
17:29I mean, a party.
17:31With 30 million pesos
17:33Now I can
17:33make a lady
17:34Party, right?
17:35I'll even bring myself to do it
17:36the annoying kid.
17:37I mean,
17:37And what for?
17:38To liven things up
17:39the party.
17:40How much does it cost?
17:41Come here
17:42and throw me here
17:43a good party.
17:44It isn't true?
17:46What are you celebrating?
17:48That you are rich.
17:51No?
17:52And would you walk?
17:54I am rich.
17:56No?
17:57Yes of course,
17:57how to terrify.
18:01Well.
18:03You didn't earn it
18:0330 million pesos.
18:06You earned your place in heaven.
18:09Nothing else.
18:12Without doing anything.
18:14You didn't even buy a ticket.
18:15And you earned your place in heaven.
18:20That
18:21That's what we are
18:22celebrating.
18:24That Jesus
18:25is embodied,
18:28is born among us
18:29And with that,
18:31That's precisely why,
18:33to those who believe,
18:35to those who are not
18:36flesh-begotten
18:37nor of blood,
18:39but by the will of God,
18:41Well,
18:41to those
18:41he made them
18:43heirs.
18:46Siblings,
18:48This is worth it.
18:49This is worth it
18:50to do a
18:50amazing party
18:51and be happy
18:53and cheerful.
18:54Think about this.
18:58That's why
18:59It was a super party.
19:00It's the party
19:01of joy.
19:02Very similar
19:04to the party
19:05Easter.
19:07That's why,
19:08I don't know if you
19:08have heard
19:09many times
19:10upon exiting,
19:11I tell them,
19:12happy Easter
19:13Christmas.
19:14It's about passing
19:15from the darkness
19:16in the light,
19:18is to pass
19:19of being a slave
19:20to freedom
19:21son
19:23of God
19:23and automatically,
19:26Since I am a son,
19:27says,
19:27And why are you a son?
19:28And the Holy Spirit
19:31He confirms it.
19:32because now
19:32the Holy Spirit
19:33says he's coming
19:34to your heart
19:34and cries out
19:35dad.
19:36You say,
19:36Oh,
19:36jole,
19:37God is my dad,
19:39Yeah,
19:39And what's your dad like?
19:41You now have access
19:42to the inheritance
19:44and the inheritance
19:46which is called
19:47darling.
19:53But this
19:54It's not visible,
19:56We didn't reach it
19:57to understand.
19:58The party
19:58has remained
19:59in the commercial part.
20:01The little pine tree
20:02and all this
20:04It's really cool
20:05and very pretty
20:05And that's great!
20:07Do you remember?
20:07I told them
20:07throughout Advent?
20:09Excellent
20:09Let's do it.
20:12But it has to have
20:13a Christian sense,
20:14It has to have
20:15a religious sense
20:16and even more,
20:18siblings,
20:19It has to have
20:20an impact
20:21in my life.
20:22And how does it have an impact?
20:25It's impactful because
20:25when I become
20:28in son,
20:28I'm talking
20:29of a conversion.
20:31There is a change,
20:32There is an Easter.
20:34Stop being a slave
20:36And now I am
20:37a free person
20:38in Christ.
20:40And I'm celebrating
20:41this.
20:42Do you notice how now
20:43I can start it
20:44to refer to?
20:45Not only
20:46to an event
20:47historical,
20:48but an event
20:49that this story
20:50It comes and makes an impact
20:53in my life.
20:54If it doesn't have an impact
20:56in my life,
20:57so,
20:58What am I celebrating?
21:01Let's imagine,
21:02For example,
21:03to treat
21:04also
21:04put a little bit
21:05in context
21:06some of these ideas.
21:07September 15th
21:10that we celebrate
21:12independence
21:15from Mexico.
21:16and you,
21:18What are you celebrating?
21:23Really
21:24Are we freer?
21:28The situation
21:29from Mexico
21:31prior to independence
21:34now it's better
21:37for you.
21:42Who knows?
21:42For someone else?
21:44But I think,
21:45For example,
21:46yesterday when I was
21:46preparing the homily,
21:48thought
21:48independence
21:50from Mexico.
21:51What did he bring
21:53for the Tarahumara people?
21:55What are they celebrating?
21:56the Tarahumara
21:57September 15th?
22:00I'm going to tell you
22:00that they celebrate
22:01nothing.
22:03They're the same.
22:04of washing up
22:04that as they were
22:06before independence.
22:09What are they celebrating?
22:10all those people
22:11that is
22:11on the belts
22:12of misery
22:13of our communities?
22:15What are they celebrating?
22:16September 15th?
22:18I'm going to tell you
22:19who celebrates.
22:19He's not celebrating anything.
22:21It has nothing
22:21Something to celebrate.
22:26It has no impact.
22:29Clear,
22:29They can go to the parade
22:30and they can go and have sex
22:31his bulk
22:33and all that
22:34you want.
22:35But they are not.
22:36celebrating nothing
22:37because it doesn't have
22:39nothing to do with it
22:39with them.
22:40For them
22:41Nothing happened
22:43because they are
22:44equally screwed
22:45that as they were
22:46before independence.
22:49I'll bring it
22:51now to Christianity.
22:55Your life
22:55she is shocked
22:59for the event
23:00of Christ,
23:01Therefore
23:02that He did,
23:03because of this birth
23:04that turned you
23:05in son.
23:06Really
23:06Do you believe it?

32:32It's the same event
32:33is my union
32:35with Christ
32:36The light arrived
32:38to our heart
32:39Juan
32:42Chapter 9
32:43verse 5
32:44while I am
32:46in this world
32:47I am the light
32:49and then
32:51when you
32:51Did you accept Jesus Christ?
32:53when you
32:54you entered this
32:55conversion process
32:56then
32:57your criteria
32:58they began to change
33:00and then
33:03as Saint Paul says
33:04in his letter
33:05to the Philippians
33:05in chapter 3
33:07verse 8
33:07what before
33:08You thought it was okay, Dad?
33:10Well, now it's not anymore.
33:11Does it seem so much to you?
33:12where before

33:14now they no longer seem like them to you
33:15so beautiful
33:17those amusements
33:18things that before
33:19you didn't value it
33:20now you value them
33:21tremendously
33:22I know a lot of people
33:24I'm thinking right now
33:25in particular
33:26in two families
33:27where
33:28well, for the husband
33:30football was
33:32the best
33:34TRUE?
33:35It's more
33:36I'm not going to say the absolute maximum
33:37That was all
33:37I had all the season tickets
33:42and wherever the team went
33:43There he went.
33:45What was happening?
33:48in that family?
33:50if you
33:51mind
33:52is centered
33:54in a team
33:55soccer
33:55So you're going to put it on
33:57all the attention
33:58to this team
34:00Of course it was known
34:01all the coaches
34:02all games
34:03all players
34:05it was not lost
34:06a single match
34:07Saturday
34:08Well, it was for football
34:09and then there was
34:11that repeat
34:12and watch during the week
34:13the games
34:13from the other teams
34:14so they were competing
34:16to see if they would win
34:17if they lost
34:18Because it's passion.
34:19of football
34:20their children
34:22well
34:23fine, thanks
34:25especially the girls
34:26TRUE?
34:28the wife
34:29well too
34:30sideways
34:31and this family
34:33which I'm thinking about right now
34:34this person
34:36he began to approach
34:37to the church
34:37began to know
34:39to Jesus
34:40he started to take
34:41classes
34:42it began to form
34:44and one day
34:44He accepted
34:45staff
34:46of Jesus Christ
34:47in his life
34:47today football
34:50has disappeared
34:51practically
34:52from his house
34:53today
34:54has a life
34:55familiar
34:56lives with his children
34:58their children
34:59that
34:59some
35:00They play football
35:00others practice
35:01another thing
35:02but now
35:03there is a unit
35:05their children
35:06They are happy
35:07because they recovered
35:08to his dad
35:09the wife
35:10recovered
35:11to her husband
35:12and all of life
35:15familiar
35:15it transformed
35:16because of their criteria
35:18change
35:18God gave him light
35:20and he said
35:20let's see
35:21What is more important?
35:23A football match?
35:25Or your wife?
35:27What is more important?

35:39And so we have
35:41to the industrial
35:42which also
35:42stop paying
35:43a bargain
35:45Because, well, that's it.
35:46as it says
35:47the law
35:48That's what
35:48what needs to be paid
35:50and takes cover
35:51under the law
35:51an unjust law
35:54a law that
35:55Who can live?
35:56with 980 pesos
35:57per week?
36:00when we have
36:01public transport
36:02that costs
36:0310 and 12 pesos
36:05TRUE?
36:06and people who have
36:07what to take
36:07one of our
36:08workers
36:09at school
36:09has to take
36:103 trucks
36:11to get there
36:13because
36:14They gave him
36:15a little house
36:16from Infonavit
36:16there
36:17where it turns
36:18the air
36:20very far away
36:22has to take
36:25a truck
36:25that brings it closer
36:26to the center
36:27then another
36:27that it happens
36:28to the center
36:28and then another
36:29from the center
36:29so that he will leave it
36:30very close to the school

36:32gets involved
36:3336 pesos
36:35outward
36:36and 36 pesos

36:46I mean
36:48in transport

36:59would have
37:00exclusively

37:11what is this?
37:13But that's what it says
37:14the law
37:14the industrialist

37:31it's right
37:33I can
37:33eating at a restaurant
37:36But he needs to eat well.
37:38he and his children
37:39and has to dress
37:42to their children too
37:43probably
37:43He's not going to dress them
37:44in a store
37:45very expensive
37:47and so very pompous
37:48to which I could
37:49have access
37:50man
37:51but that they don't have
37:52some pants
37:53all holes
37:54Well
37:54That's no longer a problem
37:55because now
37:56That's the fashion.
37:56I don't know
37:58how do they pay
37:59an amount
38:00and the more holes
38:01this
38:01more costs
38:03that is to say
38:04What's wrong with them?
38:05Well
38:05when the industrial
38:10receives the light
38:11of God
38:12then he starts to see
38:13that your employee
38:15because he is his brother
38:17because it turns out
38:18that too
38:19He is the son of God
38:20just like him
38:21and then it begins
38:23to see a change
38:24in our society
38:26and then society
38:28celebrate
38:29Christmas
38:31and that industrialist
38:32that transforms
38:34Now he's having a party
38:36Christmas
38:36in your company
38:37which makes sense
38:39because he's celebrating
38:40the day God
38:42came into his life
38:42And when he came into her life
38:44also arrived
38:45to your company
38:46to your organization
38:49Christmas
38:50begins to have
38:51a sense
38:53truly Christian
38:54the arrival
38:58of Jesus
38:59for all the children
39:00those of us who have
39:01accepted
39:02well now
39:03We are certain
39:05How are we going to live?
39:06eternally
39:06because with Jesus
39:07It opened
39:08for those who believe
39:09in it
39:10It opened
39:11eternal life
39:12Jesus
39:13in the passage
39:14in which it is located
39:15with Martha and Mary
39:16the death of Lazarus
39:18in chapter 11
39:19of San Juan
39:19in verse 25
39:2226 says
39:23I am
39:25the resurrection
39:27and life
39:27whoever believes in me
39:29even though he has died
39:30will live
39:32Do you believe this?
39:36to those who believe
39:37What problem
39:42there may be
39:43that you die
39:44If that's the case
39:46We ordered our bread
39:47says Pablo
39:49for me
39:50If I had a choice
39:51or I was already leaving
39:52so what
39:53Well, I'll go to heaven.
39:54where there is no more suffering
39:57where everything is peace
39:58where everything is joy
39:59not a single eye saw
40:00nor did he hear
40:01nor can he come
40:02to the mind of man
40:03what God has
40:03prepared for him
40:04So why
40:05Am I going to live in anguish?
40:06Why should I live?
40:08depressed
40:09thinking
40:09Oh, and death
40:10and the disease
40:11and not

40:47And that's why
40:48There is peace within us

43:24They didn't have

43:27lives
43:28Men's
43:29and think
43:32not only

43:38their wars
43:39of

43:50and after sultan
43:51this that he did
43:53change
43:54the world
