00:00We will now continue with some tools that I will recommend to enrich your preaching.
00:18and make your topic easier to understand.
00:23The idea this time is that you can delve deeper into the message you preach using these tools.
00:33The first of these is semantics.
00:38Semantics refers to everything that is linked to or pertains to the meaning of words.
00:47For this reason, semantics is also known as the part of linguistics that deals with the study of linguistic signs and their combinations.
01:00In delving deeper into the message, I suggest you focus on two points.
01:07One of them is etymology, that is, the root of the word.
01:13The other important point is the original language of the Bible, Greek or Hebrew.
01:29Remember that the content of the word of God in any of its Catholic versions is the same,
01:36but the translation may vary the words.
01:39Semantics will give your preaching more formality and at the same time elegance.
01:48But it will also allow you to be more precise when explaining certain words or expressions you use to your audience.
01:56Knowing the etymological meaning of words greatly enriches their meaning.
02:06For example, the word mercy is composed of the expressions miseri, cor and dare,
02:16which together mean giving one's heart to those in need.
02:21Regarding the original language of the Bible, it is very valuable to be able to refer to the original language in which it was written.
02:33because it adds value to the message and reveals details that cannot be translated,
02:40especially the nuances of verb tenses and moods.
02:44Okay, the second tool is antonyms.
02:51This technique is very interesting.
02:55It consists of presenting the audience with a contrast,
03:00contrasting what the text says, precisely to further emphasize its message.
03:07The culmination consists of opposing the opposite without allowing for middle ground.
03:23Thus, the conclusion of any example of antonyms will have a definitive result.
03:29The art of asking questions when using antonyms at the right moment is key.
03:49Sometimes, you have to ask the question that's on people's minds.
03:55Sometimes, a totally unexpected one, that surprises and attracts attention.
04:03For example, do you remember the scenario I once proposed to you about love between spouses?
04:10Well, going back to this example, you can lead the audience to a moment of hope in the following way.
04:20Taking the passage about the liberation of God's people from slavery in Egypt,
04:26You can ask the audience,
04:29Did the Egyptians enter the same sea as the Israelites?
04:34Or was it a different sea?
04:37No, right?
04:38So why did some emerge victorious, while others perished?
04:47The same experience led some to overcoming adversity, while for others it was their destruction.
04:56Then you state,
04:59All marriages go through the same sea of difficulties,
05:03But while some perish, others emerge victorious.
05:08The same situation helps some to grow, but it suffocates others.
05:17Is your marriage drowning?
05:20Well, today I'm going to tell you the secret so that, instead of drowning, they emerge victorious.
05:26happy and at peace, knowing that God has delivered them from perishing.
05:32Another very useful tool for deepening the message is wordplay.
05:40I don't know if you remember an example I mentioned in a previous session about a technique to attract the attention of a distracted audience,
05:50in which I told you that I like to use expressions such as,
05:56If you think that by accepting Jesus as Lord of your life, He will save you, you are wrong.
06:05And then you tell them, "He already saved you!"
06:07As you will see, a play on words leads the audience to the place you want them to be.
06:17because this technique will help you keep them attentive to your preaching.
06:22Another very useful tool is the management of contexts.
06:29Applying the context of a scenario you address in your preaching is very useful.
06:36because it will help you better explain to your audience the passage you are using for your topic.
06:43Thanks to context, you can transport the audience to the moment in history you want.
06:53because it allows you to analyze the customs, habits, etc., of the people of that time.
07:02And in this way, the audience can better understand the situation.
07:07For example, in the parable of the prodigal son, there are a number of elements that will enrich your preaching.
07:17if your topic lends itself to its use.
07:22To discuss elements of this biblical passage, such as being a swineherd, the tunic, the ring, the sandals, etc.
07:34placed in the context of the customs of that time,
07:38It will give the audience a clearer picture of the reason for the signs.
07:44They will be able to better understand the importance of each of these signs by knowing their meaning.
07:51And they will be able to delve into your topic, better understanding what is happening,
07:57For example, with the son who left home with his share of the inheritance.
08:04Another tool is to ask the text.
08:09In other words, look for the question that the audience would like to ask or that they hadn't thought of.
08:17For example, in the passage where Jesus walks on water,
08:23There is a moment when Peter goes towards him, but then he begins to sink.
08:29The question might be, when did Peter sink?
08:35Or why did it sink?
08:38And the answer is, right at the moment when he lost sight of Jesus.
08:45And that same answer leads you to say,
08:50So then, brothers, we must always be looking to Jesus.
08:54The next tool is visualization.
09:02This involves imagining and drawing the scene with all the details of the environment.
09:10Imagine the colors, smells, physical environment, but above all the psychological one.
09:17An example of this technique is the passage of Jonah.
09:23This story tells how Jonah is swallowed by a whale.
09:29If you take the audience to that moment,
09:33You can take them into the whale's jaws,
09:37to take them into that damp and perhaps unpleasant-smelling environment,
09:42where Jonah was for wanting to escape from God.
09:48Another way to visualize is through drawings.
09:53To narrate your Bible passage,
09:55You can draw the scene without many details,
09:59but highlighting the point you want to make.
10:01The next tool is dramatization.
10:08This consists of exaggerating natural elements.
10:12with a strength that goes beyond the normal.
10:17It is similar to the caricature technique
10:20in which the artist exaggerates a person's features.
10:25Dramatization is useful for representing figures from biblical passages,
10:33in order to highlight the main figure of said passage
10:37with its respective teaching.
10:40And finally, we have identification.
10:45This involves identifying the participants
10:49with some character from the writing,
10:53such as the prodigal son.
10:56With this technique or tool,
10:59You lead the audience to reflect
11:01How many times has he acted like the young man in the biblical quote?
11:06abandoned his father for the fleeting pleasures of money,
11:10greed, ambition, etc.
11:13And how God always seeks to meet with us
11:17and restore to us our dignity as his children out of love.
11:25Well, that concludes the session.
11:28But not before summarizing what we saw.
11:31In this session, we looked at the most important sources of information
11:38for the development of your preaching,
11:40which are
11:42The cosmological one, which refers to the idea that God is in the world he has created.
11:50The anthropological one, which encompasses the human organism,
11:55history, music, biographies, culture,
12:00the analysis of reality, etc.
12:05The Holy Scriptures, through which we can delve deeper into parables,
12:12miracles, characters, wars, questions, dialogues, prayers, places, etc.
12:21Tradition, which comprises all the truths that are not in Sacred Scripture,
12:30but they have been spread by word of mouth or in writing.
12:36The teaching authority of the Church,
12:38to whom the authentic interpretation of the word of God has been entrusted
12:43and that, moreover, enriches the church with documents made by people filled with the Holy Spirit.
12:54Next, we saw how to deepen the message using some techniques or tools,
13:01beginning with semantics,
13:03which leads us to two main branches,
13:07the etymology of the words and the original language of the Bible.
13:13The second technique or tool we looked at is antonyms,
13:19which help us to contrast the various elements of the biblical text
13:25to further emphasize their message.
13:29The next technique, wordplay,
13:33referring to using words or expressions to attract the audience's attention,
13:39like the example I suggested earlier.
13:41The context,
13:44through which we analyze everything related to the chosen biblical text,
13:51socioeconomic situations,
13:53theological situation,
13:55history,
13:56customs of the time,
13:57etc
13:59And finally,
14:01ask the text.
14:03This tool leads us to ask questions
14:06that might be of interest to the audience
14:08or that it hadn't occurred to them
14:10and that leads them to reflection.
14:15Well then,
14:16We have concluded today's session.
14:19I remember you
14:19that the evaluation of the next session
14:22It will be based on chapter 4
14:25from Evangelii Gaudium.
14:26Until then.
