00:00This week from the Word of God
00:30But at the same time it is full of elements that, without being completely descriptive
00:35And taking into account what other evangelists tell us, we can delve deeper into them.
00:42As it would be impossible to go into all the details
00:46I would just like us to focus our attention on the fact that all the evangelists mention.
00:53The Spirit led Jesus into the desert
00:57The most interesting thing about the text we read today
01:01It seems as if it's something Jesus has to do within his ministry
01:06It literally says taken or forced
01:11The word that literally expresses this in Greek is egvalei, to expel
01:20In the same way that a mother leads a child by the hand
01:24Or perhaps some party without asking for their consent
01:28This would be a rough idea
01:30To better understand this
01:33Which seems rather brief in Marcos
01:37We would have to go back to the journey of the people of Israel through the desert
01:41The book of Exodus tells us in chapter 13, verses 17 to 18
01:48That God made them go the long way that will eventually end at the Red Sea
01:54Did he send them to their deaths?
01:56No
01:57They went there for three things essentially
02:01One
02:02To learn how to fight against your enemies
02:06Two
02:07So that they would not be tempted to return to the meat pots of Egypt.
02:12And three, finally
02:14So that in this experience God might show his power to the people
02:18And thus lead them to the promised land
02:21All of this would transform them into new men and women.
02:26Tested and witnesses of the power of God
02:31That they are already purified of any aspiration
02:35That he would relate them to his former life in Egypt
02:38This is precisely the impetus that Jesus receives to go to the desert.
02:46The Spirit leads him into the desert for the same purpose.
02:51It will be, above all, a training session.
02:55As it was for these men and women who were leaving Egypt
03:00It is training for their journey to the promised land
03:05In the case of Jesus, we would be talking about the redemption of humanity.
03:10We therefore see a positive proposal
03:13Jesus will understand it that way
03:16And that's because undergoing training without a purpose is problematic.
03:21It makes it lose all its meaning and motivation.
03:24For Jesus, salvation is worth everything.
03:28And he goes to the desert to prepare himself to fulfill this mission that the Father has entrusted to him.
03:34We too must embrace our Lent in this way.
03:39As a preparation not only for the test
03:42But especially towards the end of it
03:47To be able to continue like Jesus on our path but towards holiness
03:52If we do it this way and properly
03:58We will be able to arrive like Him, renewed.
04:01Ready to walk
04:02Walking towards truth and towards love
04:06No matter what Jesus might do to stop him
04:13However, to do this we must follow the steps that Jesus took
04:19And learn to walk with Him through the desert
04:22And thus train ourselves as the apostle Saint Paul says
04:26To be able to learn to use the weapons of the Spirit
04:30Which he clearly mentions in chapter 6, verse 10 of his letter to the Ephesians
04:36And the fact is, no one will be able to emerge victorious if they don't know how to use them properly.
04:41Especially like Jesus
04:43The sword of the Spirit
04:45That is, the word of God
04:47We can see how Jesus, especially in the Synoptic Gospels,
04:51Marcos in this sense
04:55She ignores all these temptations and doesn't mention them.
04:58He simply mentions that he was tempted.
05:00But everything the devil does
05:05He does it through the word of God
05:10In other words, he is going to tempt Jesus
05:13Through what God has allowed him
05:18Ordinarily make man
05:20And he does it in a very despicable way
05:22Because He does it through the word of God
05:26Lent is therefore a time
05:29From exercising
05:31Not only in reading
05:32But rather in the deeper understanding of the word of God
05:36Learn to use correctly this sword that God has given us
05:40Getting used to it
05:42And that it becomes a part of our lives
05:45With her
05:46If our heart takes deep root
05:49We will always pull through
05:51And we will be safe
05:53On our way
05:54Towards salvation
05:55Towards holiness
05:56On the other hand
05:58It is a path of renunciation.
06:00That is, training
06:02In austerity
06:03This Satan came to make him all kinds of proposals
06:07However
06:09Jesus has fasted for a long period
06:12That will help you delve deeper
06:14For man does not live by bread alone.
06:18Of flattery
06:20Or to be able
06:21Man lives
06:23First of all
06:24From the word that comes from God
06:27This instructs us
06:29In total dependence
06:31Of mercy
06:33And from the providence of God
06:34Hence Jesus' instruction
06:37That is contained
06:39In the Gospel of Matthew
06:41You probably remember her
06:42Matthew 6:25, 34
06:44Which speaks precisely
06:46To depend on God
06:47It depends on Him
06:49Trust in Him
06:50And everything else
06:51This text ends
06:53From Matthew
06:54And everything else
06:55It will come to you as a bonus.
06:56On the other hand
06:58On the other hand
06:59God makes him understand
07:00On this path
07:01That his life will be hard
07:03Above all
07:05How was it for the people
07:07In his life
07:08Towards the promised land
07:09It will be then
07:10A path
07:11That
07:12It's difficult.
07:14And that also
07:15No returns accepted
07:16This is also valid
07:19For us
07:19Well, like Jesus
07:21He tells us
07:21In Matthew
07:22In Luke
07:23Luke 9:62
07:24The one who takes up the plow
07:26And look back
07:28He is not worthy of me
07:29Finally
07:31Finally
07:33From this experience
07:34Jesus
07:35As the people of God
07:36He realizes
07:38That on their way
07:39I don't know
07:40It will not be released
07:41From the persecution
07:42From Satan
07:43That is an insidious
07:45Until the end
07:46Marcos
07:47No
07:48Not even Marcos
07:49Not even Matthew
07:49They say so.
07:50But it's clearly
07:52In Luke 4:13
07:53And the devil
07:54He retired
07:54Searching
07:55A better opportunity
07:57And it's coming with you
07:58Also looking
07:59That new opportunity
08:01Continuously
08:02Hence
08:04This training
08:05It is not limited
08:06To the conquest
08:07From the promised land
08:08Well
08:09For Israel
08:11As for Jesus
08:12This was only
08:14Well, a scale
08:15On their journey
08:16To freedom
08:17It was a stopover
08:19On their journey
08:20Towards possession
08:21Definitive of the kingdom
08:22And it's the same
08:23For us
08:24The path
08:26It will extend
08:27Beyond
08:28From Easter
08:28In a way
08:30That Lent
08:31It's not just
08:32This period
08:3340 days
08:34But we will have
08:36That you live continuously
08:37Wearing
08:38What in it
08:39We have learned
08:41In order to win
08:42The temptations
08:43Rest assured
08:45Siblings
08:46Never
08:47We're going to be short
08:47Remember that Jesus says
08:49John 15:20
08:50They persecuted me
08:52To you
08:53They're going to be pursued.
08:55The coach
08:57Well, it will be
08:57The spirit
08:58As in Jesus
09:00That inhabits
09:01In us
09:01And it must be
09:04The one who drives us
09:05It will take us
09:06As we were saying
09:07At first
09:08To the desert
09:09Holding hands
09:10Let it be
09:12The one who us
09:12Enter
09:13During Lent
09:14For with your help
09:15Let's exercise
09:16Throughout
09:17And leave
09:18In the end
09:19Men and women
09:20New
09:21Ready
09:22To continue
09:23Our path
09:23Towards life
09:24Perfect
09:25Well, the Lord
09:26I will accompany you
09:28Join us
09:29And we can
09:30Live an experience
09:32During Lent
09:33May it not end
09:34During Lent
09:35But let it be
09:36A training session

09:38I became
