00:00This week, from the Word of God.
00:30I obey my Father's commandments and remain in his love.
00:34I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.
00:42This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
00:49No one has greater love for his friends than this, to lay down his life for them.
00:53Friends, you are my friends if you do what I tell you.
01:01I no longer call them servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business.
01:06I call you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have heard from my Father.
01:14You are not the ones who elected me.
01:18I am the one who has chosen them and appointed them to go and bear fruit.
01:23And may its fruit remain, so that the Father may grant you whatever you ask in my name.
01:31This is what I am sending you.
01:33Love one another.
01:36We are now nearing the end of our Easter season.
01:50This Thursday, God willing, the Ascension of the Lord will take place in Rome.
01:55The 40 days will have passed since the Resurrection of the Lord.
01:59However, here in our episcopal conference, here in Mexico, it is moved to Sunday.
02:08because Thursday would not be a holiday.
02:11We would have to go to work, and so it is such an important day that the episcopal conference asked that it be moved to Sunday.
02:20But it would be this Thursday, actually this would be the last Sunday within this initial Easter period,
02:27We say that the Easter season is still going on.
02:31It will last until Pentecost, which will be from this coming Sunday to the following one.
02:38So, what progress have we made during this whole process?
02:44We have already gone through Lent and almost all of Easter.
02:51The idea, then, has been, at least, what I have proposed to you during this time.
02:58If you remember correctly, it has been related to or focused on the topic of getting to know the Lord better through his word.
03:07Throughout Lent and also during Easter, I have been selecting from the texts we have read,
03:16some elements that refer to the impact of the word of God on our lives.
03:24A word that is not for study, but a word of life.
03:31Today, our commentator very aptly told us that history—that is, we are not reading an epic fact—
03:43We are not simply reading about something that happened in another time, but rather a remembrance.
03:50It is to re-enter into this living word of God.
03:54And this should lead us to make some changes, as we've been saying, especially during Easter time.
04:03which is the time in which we bear witness to this man, God resurrected among us.
04:12Today he focuses, in a very particular way, on the topic of friendship.
04:20Jesus says, "I no longer call you servants, but I call you friends."
04:29And see how interesting and also how important this topic of friendship is.
04:37Today we see very superficial, fragile friendships.
04:43We see how, I don't know, it seems to me that previously our friendships were, well, much, very long.
04:55I, for example, meet up with my high school classmates at least once or twice a year,
05:02And now I'm talking about times that are almost antediluvian, aren't they?
05:07In other words, a series of bonds were formed that were maintained and led us to true friendship.
05:18And how is this friendship developing, brothers?
05:22Why do we have fragile friendships today, or why do we fail to achieve deep friendships?
05:30It seems to me that some of these causes are because we don't have an open and honest relationship with the person.
05:46In other words, many times we are friends with the person who can help us pass the exam, for example, at the level of the kids,
05:54either because he's the one who brings the best lunch or because he's the one who can buy us a soft drink or things like that during break time.
06:08We can extend this later, if you like, we could extend it, well, up to the topic of adults,
06:15where, then, we have friends, but behind all this there is not an open, full, complete, deep friendship,
06:29Because friendship implies intimacy, deep and intimate knowledge.
06:37The vast majority of marriages fail today for this reason.
06:47Because the boys don't know each other, they marry a stranger.
06:53I think I've mentioned before that it's quite common,
06:57Imagine, I worked 32 years in the court,
07:00It is quite common to hear or see this expression written in the testimony presented by those who are separating.
07:12I didn't know him, they changed him for me.
07:19She wasn't the person I married.
07:24So one might ask, how is this possible?
07:26How can you tell me you don't know him?
07:32Even, you see, in relationships of more than two years, two or three years,
07:39And they say, I don't know him.
07:44Looking at how the boys' relationship is developing today.
07:51We see that today, for example, young people go out a lot with other young people.
07:56When they are at home, they spend their time watching television or playing video games.
08:09or worse of all, of everything, being glued to your cell phone.
08:15There are even commercials, there are major campaigns about this,
08:22because we see tremendous depersonalization.
08:26I've received some images like this promoting that this shouldn't be done.
08:32Where the couple is, they can be seen embracing,
08:35In other words, you can see their back; from this side, they are looking at the person.
08:40And the person who is hugging him, well, isn't really hugging him.
08:43He has his cell phone here, and here he is looking at his cell phone.
08:46while the other person is giving them a hug.
08:50And like many other things, we see them in parks,
08:53We see them in houses, we see them everywhere.
08:57Today, cell phones, all our mobile phones,
09:00They have a tremendous impact on a person's knowledge.
09:06And then we get to know each other very superficially,
09:09In other words, I like it, it attracts me, I have a great time,
09:13and we had a lot of fun at the parties,
09:16But how well did you really know that person?
09:26Sometimes, very little.
09:30And obviously, in marriage, well, absolutely.
09:35You're going to get to know yourself deeply,
09:38because now you live with that person.
09:40And that person is now, as they always are.
09:47Generally, when we are on a conquest mission,
09:50or in this more friendly way, without any courtship,
09:55Well, we always put cream on the tacos, as we say, right?
09:59In other words, we give it our all, we bring out our best selves, our best side.
10:04But in marriage it's not like that, it doesn't work that way.
10:10You arrive angry, you arrive angry.
10:12And since you already have the confidence to be yourself,
10:17It turns out that this "you" is not the same "you" who met the other person.
10:22And then he says, oh, Carlitos,
10:24And I'm going to live with this person for the rest of my life.
10:29No, God forbid.
10:34The same thing happens with God.
10:38The same thing happens to us with our relationship with God.
10:43The Bible, sadly, but this is a reality.
10:51In the seminary, in general, it is a study book.
10:58And I also say it like this, half-heartedly,
11:01Because if we ask some priests what a chiasmus is,
11:05What is a theological inclusion?
11:07or what is a biblical metaphor,
11:09Yes, well, who knows if I'll guess right.
11:13But the word of God, the Bible,
11:18"He is a person," said Saint Jerome,
11:22to be ignorant of Holy Scripture,
11:24It is to be ignorant of God, it is to be ignorant of Jesus Christ.
11:29How much, my brothers,
11:31during, then, this year that we are currently living through,
11:38how much have we truly progressed?
11:42in our friendship with the Lord?
11:47Do we know him?
11:47Do we know him better?
11:54Has my trust in Him grown during these,
12:00Well, we've been working for almost 80 days now,
12:04Or that I've been working with this community?
12:09Has our trust in Him grown?
12:12What would we be willing to do for this friend?
12:21The couple were probably only friends for a short time.
12:31before they were dating,
12:33but during courtship
12:36They have to become best friends,
12:41and that friendship of best friends
12:44It has to remain for a lifetime.
12:48Now, I must be married.
12:53with my best friend (male or female).
12:59With her or with him I can be transparent.
13:03I have no secrets.
13:07I can lend you my cell phone, my tablet.
13:12I am transparent.
13:16He knows me inside and out.
13:20He knows who I am and what I am.
13:25He knows my flaws, obviously.
13:27Get to know my virtues too.
13:31Sometimes we only show the virtues.
13:37and the defects.
13:40We ironed them a little.
13:42And the person sometimes says,
13:44It's because he has a terrible temper.
13:46We've always had it, brothers.
13:48But of course, when you arrive with your girlfriend or boyfriend,
13:52Oh yes, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
13:54And then everyone goes home
13:55and then you argue with your brother,
13:57The sister, the father, and so on, right?
13:59But when you get married,
14:01You're going to have a falling out with your husband or wife.
14:04That's always been your character.
14:07There are no surprises.
14:08There shouldn't be any surprises.
14:09with best friends.
14:11And you can see it.
14:12They probably have some good friends
14:17to those they call my best friend.
14:20But how transparent are you with him?
14:25How far would you be willing to go for him?
14:31And when I refer to something,
14:33It's not like the Lord says today, is it?
14:36If we read the previous verse
14:38of the one I'm mentioning right now,
14:41which is verse 15,
14:44Verse 13 says that
14:46There is no greater love
14:48than to give one's life for a friend.
14:52Well,
14:53I don't think so in general
14:57We'll have to touch you like this, literally,
14:59As the kids say,
15:01to give one's life for a friend.
15:02No, but to do serious things.
15:06I'll give you an example.
15:08Would you be willing?
15:12Check this out.
15:14Would you be willing to sell your car?
15:17to help a friend
15:20Are you in a hurry?
15:22Something we need, huh?
15:28We need the car to get around,
15:30to transport us,
15:32for everything.
15:33Would you sell your car?
15:35to give him all the money
15:38and not tell him,
15:39and well,
15:40And you pay me for it,
15:41When are you going to pay me?
15:41No, no, no.
15:42Here it is.
15:46To give one's life.
15:48I'm giving it to you.
15:49No, I'll pay you.
15:50Okay, so if you can, you can pay me.
15:52And if not,
15:53well no.
15:54I'm giving it to you.
15:55Because right now you need it.
15:59You don't have to sign any papers for me.
16:03Because?
16:04Because I trust you.
16:06The paper they sign in many churches,
16:11I'm doing it now too.
16:13due to other characteristics,
16:15but the paper they sign here
16:16when they get married
16:17It's not good enough for an umbrella.
16:20It's useless.
16:21It has no legal value,
16:24It has no value whatsoever.
16:29His word is what matters.
16:31given before God.
16:36And I promise to be faithful to you
16:38and love you
16:39and respect you
16:41every day of my life.
16:44I, Ernesto,
16:45I accept you.
16:47I accept you
16:48in front of a community.
16:50Certainly,
16:51when we're doing this in private,
16:53We need some witnesses.
16:55But we wouldn't even need that.
16:59Because?
17:01Because I trust you.
17:03I trust that you are telling me the truth.
17:06What would you be willing to do for that person then?
17:14The issue of transparency.
17:20Well, it's important, isn't it?
17:23And it's a choice.
17:25The friend,
17:26I think they are among the few things we choose,
17:29it isn't true?
17:29I choose my friends
17:32and from among them I choose one
17:36or to some
17:38with whom I would like
17:40deepen the friendship
17:43until we reach
17:45to marriage.
17:47That's why too
17:51in conversations
17:52they say
17:53No, it's just that he turned out to be a big drinker.
17:57You got it in a box of cornflakes
17:59or where did you get it?
18:00in a raffle.
18:02What do you mean, it came out?
18:03No, it doesn't come out.
18:08That's what you chose.
18:11Maybe you chose wrong.
18:14without knowing,
18:15without knowledge.
18:18It's a choice.
18:19Friendship
18:20It's a choice.
18:21That is why it says in verse 16
18:23I chose them
18:26to all of you.
18:28All of us who are here
18:29We have been chosen by God.
18:32Don't think you chose.
18:35He chose you.
18:38And that's wonderful
18:40that God,
18:41being God,
18:42has noticed us
18:44yet
18:45and that He does know us
18:48from top to bottom.
18:50Saint Paul says
18:53in his letter to the Corinthians
18:55in chapter 13
18:58in verse 12
19:00says
19:00that right now
19:01We know God
19:03imperfectly
19:05But He
19:09He knows you
19:11what are you like
19:13grumpy
19:15envious
19:18etc.
19:19He knows your qualities
19:20and knows your strengths
19:22And that's why
19:24I love it
19:26I love
19:26Psalm 103
19:27because it says
19:30who knows
19:30what mud
19:31we are made
19:32and that's why
19:33He doesn't treat us like this.
19:33as we deserve
19:34because he knows
19:37what we are made of.
19:42You know
19:43what is it made of
19:44your husband
19:45your wife
19:46Do you know him?
19:48to your son
19:49to your father
19:51Do you know him?
19:52truly
19:53today friendships
19:57says
19:58It's because my dad
19:59He's my friend
19:59the friend
20:00It's not the one that gives you
20:01all
20:01the friend
20:03It's the one that helps you
20:04the one who holds you
20:06the one that drives you
20:08but not the one that gives you
20:09all
20:09a bad friend
20:13I wouldn't give it to him
20:15to a friend
20:16a good friend
20:17I wouldn't give it to him
20:17to a friend
20:17something that
20:18that would hurt him
20:19That's why, yes.
20:24as parents
20:25and as children
20:26we have to be
20:27friends
20:28along these lines
20:29of love
20:30of a love
20:31that leaves
20:32perfecting
20:33And what for?
20:36He chose us
20:37verse 16 says
20:39so that we can go
20:42and let us bear fruit
20:44We already talked about it.
20:45last week
20:46of these fruits
20:48Look then
20:52how important
20:53is
20:53the topic
20:54of love
20:55inside
20:56above all
20:57of theology
20:58of San Juan
20:59on the line
21:01that he
21:02is recognized
21:03like the apostle
21:04beloved
21:04he knows
21:06that the relationship
21:06with Jesus
21:07It has to be
21:08of this kind
21:09It has to be
21:11of friendship
21:12It has to be
21:13of knowledge
21:14It has to be
21:15depth
21:16And that's why
21:19I'd like
21:20see with you
21:21in this part
21:22end
21:23of our
21:24reflection
21:25the text
21:28end
21:29of
21:30from Juan
21:31in the chapter
21:32sorry
21:33in chapter 15
21:35in chapter 15
21:40we're going to find
21:41a dialogue
21:42from
21:43of
21:44Let me see
21:47here
21:47sorry
21:48Chapter 15
21:48I said no
21:49It's chapter 21
21:50forgive me
21:51It's the end
21:52It's the second ending
21:54of San Juan
21:54we're going to find
21:56there is a dialogue
21:57very interesting
21:58between
22:00Peter
22:02and Jesus
22:03from
22:04from verse 15
22:06in this text
22:09like Juan does
22:10in many of his texts
22:12seeks
22:14identify
22:16one word
22:18that it may have
22:19the same meaning
22:20For example
22:21in chapter 6
22:23eat
22:24in Greek
22:26may have
22:27two meanings
22:28a
22:29it is said
22:30trogon
22:31what is
22:32the proper word
22:34to swallow
22:35to swallow
22:36chew
22:37is called
22:38in Greek
22:39one would say
22:40trogon
22:40and it translates
22:41eat
22:42but also
22:44eat
22:45in Greek
22:47is
22:47fagen
22:48is another verb
22:49It is also
22:52eat
22:53but this eating
22:54could be
22:55like when we say
22:56I'm going to eat
22:56this woman
22:57with kisses
22:58that is to say
22:59It's a sense
23:00metaphorical
23:02Juan
23:04wanted to
23:05that there would be no more
23:06doubts
23:07in the meaning
23:08of the words
23:09of Jesus
23:10that's why
23:11when it says
23:12what to eat
23:13its meat
23:14and drink
23:14his blood
23:15does not use
23:16the word
23:17trogon
23:17use the word
23:19fagen
23:20forgive me
23:21the other way around
23:22does not use the word
23:23fagen
23:23so that it is not misinterpreted
23:25which is metaphorically
23:26how they use it
23:27the Protestants
23:28that they believe
23:30that eating
23:31a
23:31a cookie
23:32or a small bread roll
23:33with a little
23:34of
23:34came
23:36of grape
23:36well then
23:37That's all
23:38they ate
23:39the body
23:39and the blood
23:40not because
23:41That's not the case
23:41You have to eat it
23:43chew it
23:44swallow it
23:45that's why
23:47use the verb
23:47trogon
23:48and then
23:49starting from verse
23:51Chapter 6, page 54
23:53change the verb
23:54comes using
23:56the verb
23:56fagen
23:57And now he's going to change it
23:58by the verb
23:58trogon
23:59well, same
24:01does in this chapter
24:0223
24:02to indicate
24:04the important thing
24:05What is friendship?
24:07that he wants
24:08have with you
24:09in this verse
24:15in these verses
24:16Jesus asks him
24:19to Peter
24:20Peter
24:22do you love me
24:24And Pedro answers.
24:28yes sir
24:28you know
24:30that I love you
24:30however
24:33the word
24:34love
24:35in Greek
24:36may have
24:36two verbs
24:37one
24:39is the verb
24:40agape
24:40and another
24:43is the verb
24:44edge
24:46They are two verbs
24:47both
24:48they mean

29:57we know that
29:58Peter
29:58He gave his life
30:01through Jesus
30:02my brothers
30:06This is what
30:08God wants
30:08do with us
30:10wants you to
30:13Be authentic
30:14in front of him
30:15and that you learn
30:16to be authentic
30:17in your life
30:18with your friends
30:19that you learn
30:20what does it mean
30:21friendship
30:23with God
30:24because from there
30:25you're going to learn
30:26What is friendship?
30:27with all the people
30:28with whom you live
30:29And that will change.
30:31or changes
30:32our society
30:33change the concept
30:36of friendship
30:37It changes everything.
30:39I don't call them anymore
30:41servants
30:42I call them friends
30:44because?
30:45because I have been
30:45transparent
30:47with you
30:47I have told them
30:49everything he told me
30:50to me the Father
30:51You already know.
30:52I haven't had
30:53secrets
30:54for you
30:55I have been
30:56completely
30:56transparent
30:58I am his friend
30:59And I am his friend.
31:02that I am willing
31:04He did
31:05literal
31:05to give my life
31:07for you
31:08which
31:08finally did
31:10I think it's an issue
31:14that is worthwhile
31:15reflect
31:16from the perspective
31:18biblical
31:19and not so many
31:21currents
31:22philosophical
31:22that don't lead us
31:26to delve deeper
31:26in what
31:27In fact
31:28contains
31:29friendship
31:30and where to
31:32directs us
31:32when our relationship
31:35with God
31:35siblings
31:36It's not about friendship.
31:38this book
31:40It doesn't work
31:40not at all
31:41because if I
31:43I don't know
31:44him
31:44And I'm not interested.
31:45meet him
31:46and delve deeper
31:48and listen
31:49what he tells me
31:50sometimes good things
31:51and sometimes
31:53not so good
31:54if you don't help me
31:56to discover me
31:57really
31:58to myself
31:59as what I am
32:00so
32:02What a farce!
32:03We live in the world
32:04siblings?
32:05What a farce!
32:07we live in our
32:08society
32:08when we want
32:10in front of others
32:11be
32:11what actually
32:12Aren't we?
32:14and have friends
32:16fragile
32:17that
32:18in the first
32:19change
32:20as soon as they start
32:21to get to know
32:22in depth
32:23they realize
32:24about what
32:25there have been
32:26first of all
32:27masks
32:28and hypocrisy
32:29in your life
32:29I invite you

32:41It's our friendship
32:42with Christ
32:42and on the other hand
32:44this
32:46if really
32:47He's calling us
32:48to have friends
32:49every time
32:50deeper
32:52taking into account
32:53take into account
32:54simply
32:55these five verses
32:57from verse 13
32:59of this chapter 15

33:03that there is a choice
33:05They see that there is a commitment.
33:07You'll see that there's transparency.
33:10There are three elements
33:11fundamentals
33:12that friendship demands
33:14true
33:15that the Lord
