00:00Hello, how are you? Welcome to the tenth session of the subject Formation of
00:19Preachers. We are now in the final stretch of our course. In this session we conclude with
00:27the study of the apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, concluding with chapter 5. In the
00:35In the previous session, I paused my study of the overall planning of the topic to see
00:42with you new ways to organize the message, such as testimonials, numbering of
00:50Ideas or steps, the sequence of messages, and the biblical theme. Now I will close the study of
00:59the overall planning of the topic, sharing with you what we call the landing strip.
01:07What does this technique involve? Let me explain. The runway is the way to conclude
01:16Your preaching. It's the final destination you'll give to the topic you're sharing. Now
01:25Okay, so which runway are we going to land on? Where are we going to direct the preaching work?
01:32The hardest part of a sermon is the first and last few minutes. A good
01:42The key to success is having strong initial motivation. The preacher knows what he wants and how to motivate.
01:51to others to achieve it. During this course you have learned techniques and tools that will help you
02:00will undoubtedly lead to a successful landing. However, the preacher, like a pilot
02:09With his ship, he must be clear about where he is going to direct his message, that is, towards his runway.
02:18Landing. A pilot knows their destination from the moment they take off. And although it can happen that
02:28Even if the flight plan has to be modified due to circumstances beyond the pilot's control, the passengers will eventually arrive.
02:37to its destination. In the same way, the preacher, the pilot of his preaching, must take it to its destination.
02:48Finally. But how will you decide which runway to take your audience to?
03:00Basically, I propose four main landing strips. The first of these is the relationship of the
03:10Man with God. Deep in his heart, humanity yearns for a voice to speak to them of God.
03:20as a power in their favor, as a light for their path and a balm for their wounds. Hence its importance
03:29to present him as a father who loves us, as a son who becomes one with us, and as a Holy Spirit
03:38that fills us with everything we need. In this relationship between man and God, you must manifest a
03:47A God who is near, a God close to us who loves us to the extreme. We must not leave the audience.
03:56with the image of a God who is distant, because we are not worthy of him, or of a God
04:05punisher or avenger, but the God of love who takes away our condition as creatures and
04:12becomes his children. The second landing strip is the relationship of man with himself and also with his
04:24neighbor. For various reasons, human beings are dissatisfied with themselves. Emphasis must be placed on
04:34at least the following concepts. The first of these is realism, that is, inviting one to have a certain perspective.
04:43I face life with a clean slate, free from idealism and pessimism. This is my life, this is my story, a gift from the Lord.
04:54For me. I must learn to live today, here and now. The second concept is forgiveness. Forgiving God, because
05:07We blame ourselves for many of our problems, but we must forgive ourselves and our neighbors, even our enemies.
05:15to free ourselves. The next step is to transcend. To transcend is the ability to see beyond our reality.
05:27It is to glimpse, even in the shadows that surround us, the loving presence of God who with his providence
05:34And in a mysterious way, it is guiding our story to a happy ending.
05:43Now, let's look at man's relationship with his neighbor.
05:48In the Gospel according to Saint Matthew, in chapter 22, verses 37 to 40, we find the instruction
05:58Jesus's words on this subject. Let's pay attention. The word of God says.
06:06Jesus said to him,
06:09Love the Lord your God with all your heart,
06:13with all your soul and with all your mind.
06:17This is the most important one
06:19and the first of the commandments.
06:21But there is a second one,
06:24similar to this,
06:26says,
06:28Love your neighbor as yourself.
06:32These two commandments
06:33They base the entire law on it.
06:35and the prophets.
06:39Some concepts
06:41that can support this relationship
06:43of man with his neighbor
06:44are
06:45Tolerance.
06:48Sometimes,
06:50human relations
06:51They are difficult
06:53because everyone seeks to impose their ideas,
06:56which leads to conflict.
06:58Tolerance
06:59It's that stopcock.
07:01that moderates the flow of ideas
07:04and channels them
07:05properly.
07:08Dialogue.
07:10When men
07:11We tried to reach an agreement
07:13without listening to others,
07:15the relationships
07:16They begin to block.
07:19The dialogue
07:20This leads us to understand
07:21to our interlocutors
07:23and to get to know each other better
07:25their stance.
07:28Understanding.
07:30Having the ability
07:32to understand
07:32to the other person
07:34It leads us to compassion,
07:37to tolerate
07:37with greater peace of mind
07:39the general situation
07:40that it be presented
07:41due to their particular situation.
07:45acceptance.
07:46Acceptance.
07:48By understanding
07:49the reasons
07:50for which the conduct
07:52of a person
07:53act
07:54In a certain way,
07:56we can understand it
07:58and in this way
07:59accept it
08:00just as it is.
08:02Forgiveness.
08:05Forgiveness
08:06must be present
08:07in every human being.
08:10We must remember
08:11that perfect
08:12It's divine,
08:14It's something that comes
08:15of God.
08:17Us
08:17we will be able to improve,
08:20but life
08:20It's a cluster
08:21of errors
08:22and successes
08:23and when someone
08:24He is wrong.
08:26especially with you,
08:27We must forgive.
08:28Reconciliation.
08:33Certainly,
08:34when the person
08:35has the ability
08:36to forgive,
08:37the process
08:38of reconciliation
08:39It happens sooner.
08:42The problem
08:42It's that many people
08:44They have a very strong tradition
08:46the phrase
08:47If I forgive you,
08:49But I haven't forgotten.
08:51That's not forgiveness.
08:52In this case,
08:55the process
08:56of reconciliation
08:57It never happens
08:58full,
08:59since always
09:00will be present
09:01in the relationship
09:02he
09:03I haven't forgotten.
09:06For reconciliation
09:08it happens,
09:08it is necessary
09:09leave behind
09:10everything that happened
09:11without the
09:12I haven't forgotten.
09:15Only in this way
09:16there will be
09:17a true
09:17reconciliation
09:18and of course
09:20a true
09:21act of forgiveness
09:23towards whom
09:23has offended you.
09:26Next,
09:28I will continue sharing
09:29with you
09:30more concepts
09:31that take us
09:32to the relationship
09:33with one's neighbor
09:34and that can help us
09:36to our relationships
09:37with the others
09:38be more bearable.
09:51Thank you!
09:52Thank you!
09:53Thank you!
09:54Thank you!
09:56Thank you!
