00:30We Christians are under the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary, in the mantle of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
00:39And now I have been asked to speak about Our Lady of the Rosary.
00:47We didn't have it before as the Holy Rosary.
00:52They were reciting psalms. They were reciting psalms. They said it was to be like the monks, who recited the psalms.
01:04The psalms are meant to be sung. And the psalms, the reality of the psalms, is the reality of the people.
01:14That is, there are psalms that speak of praise, there are psalms that speak of petition, there are psalms where man is downcast,
01:29where it says at this moment we have neither princes, nor kings, nor priests.
01:34When there was such sadness.
01:39So, but the Holy Scriptures, the psalms, were not accessible to everyone.
01:46And they wanted a prayer that would be for everyone.
01:52And since ancient times, women who were martyred by the Romans were given a crown.
02:01In fact, rosary means crown of roses.
02:05And they would put that crown of roses on them to go and offer themselves.
02:11And afterwards, after the martyrdom, they would collect those crowns of roses as a very important testimony.
02:22And that's where the rosary comes from.
02:24But they recited Hail Marys.
02:26And there were 150 Hail Marys.
02:29Just like the psalms, which are 150.
02:33And then, of course, we have the story of Saint Dominic of Guzman.
02:38That he was the one who received in 1208 what the Blessed Virgin told him.
02:45After an intense day of prayer and penance.
02:50Well, obviously she is the patron saint of the Dominicans.
02:54The victory at Lepanto is attributed to the prayer of the Holy Rosary.
03:00The naval victory of Lepanto.
03:02And so, on many occasions, we have met, there in the Basilica of Guadalupe, in Mexico City.
03:11There's a mast up there.
03:14And those who went there carried that mast on their shoulders.
03:22Thanking the Virgin of Guadalupe and the prayer of the Holy Rosary for the fact that they were closed.
03:31There on Mount Carmel, there is also a similar experience.
03:36Where there was a star.
03:38And there she is called Estela Maris.
03:40The starfish.
03:44Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
03:47And there are many such moments in Cuba as well.
03:52Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre, likewise.
03:56Which was a very, very similar story.
03:59And at many times, the Blessed Virgin, through the Holy Rosary.
04:03It wasn't until later, with Saint Pius V, that he officially instituted it as the Rosary.
04:11Then, John Paul II instituted, or rather, added the Luminous Mysteries.
04:19And for us, the life of the Church continues, contemplating the life of Christ.
04:29But also, through the Blessed Virgin Mary.
04:33There's an image I really like.
04:37And, in fact, I have used that image on many occasions.
04:41Perhaps you have seen it.
04:43Where the face of Christ is.
04:45And so, a silhouette of the profile of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
04:54And for us, it is feeling sheltered, under the protection of the Blessed Virgin.
04:59Here in Monterrey, we are a very Marian city.
05:03Up in the hills, right?
05:07The Cerro de la Silla, the M, that we have here.
05:11And as for the churches, the Cathedral, which is Our Lady of Monterrey.
05:16Which is to the east, to the west, the Immaculate Conception, the Basilica.
05:20To the south, then, is the Basilica of Guadalupe.
05:25And to the north, Our Lady of the Oak.
05:29Apart from the parishes that have this name, there is the Church of the Rosary, which is in the Roma neighborhood.
05:36In Villa de Juárez, the Parish of the Rosary.
05:38And in some parts, apart from chapels and people, right?
05:44That the rosary is prayed daily in the parishes, and even more so in the homes.
05:51Father Galván, now Bishop of Torreón, although he will soon be Bishop Emeritus.
05:56When he was a parish priest there at the Basilica of Guadalupe,
06:00He instituted the Perpetual Rosary.
06:04And then Father Santiago Cavazos continued and put out a list, a sheet of paper,
06:09and people signed up, much like what are now chapels of perpetual adoration,
06:13as we have in Santa Gracia, or also in Santa Catarina Mártir,
06:18or in some other parishes where people sign up,
06:21I pray the Rosary at such and such a time.
06:23And so on until all 24 hours of the day, 365 days of the year, are filled.
06:31Therefore, for us, contemplating the Blessed Virgin of the Rosary,
06:38because she is the Mother of God.
06:41And that's why the Rosary, because there are so many people, right?
06:44Whether she simply prays her Rosary, or does her calculations,
06:50If you don't have a really, really beautiful rosary, well, you can just use your fingers, right?
06:55He takes a moment to pray.
07:00People who dedicate themselves, among their apostolate, to speaking about the Blessed Virgin Mary.
07:06And that's why, in the Church it is said that, that is,
07:13The Rosary prayer is a simple prayer, but at the same time very profound.
07:20That's why simplicity and depth are what give us this place.
07:24It doesn't mean simplicity as something,
07:28No, well, if it's simple I won't do it.
07:31No, this is about the heart.
07:34Look, it's striking how, uh, the holy fathers, the popes,
07:41They immediately turn to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
07:46John Paul II, do you remember,
07:48John Paul II had the letter M for Mary on his papal coat of arms, right?
07:55And all bishops have a star, something,
08:02that speaks of, a sign that speaks of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
08:06Here in Monterrey, some bishops display the silhouette of the Virgin Mary.
08:11who is in the seminary, yes?
08:13And they still include it there, in vocational promotion,
08:19With your help, I will become a priest.
08:22At the vocational center, for many years,
08:28The Serra Club, which some of you may remember,
08:32I used to give them away, and a few days ago they took me to be blessed.
08:35some tiny plastic rosaries,
08:39And they made thousands, to promote, through the recitation of the Holy Rosary,
08:45prayer for the priestly vocations we so desperately need.
08:50And you, therefore, have asked a lot of the Blessed Virgin,
08:55through the recitation of the Holy Rosary,
08:58due to the increase in priestly vocations,
09:01missionaries, nuns, and of course to the Christian life,
09:05which is each one of you,
09:08and that we all form the Church.
09:10Therefore, if battles were won through the Holy Rosary,
09:16Through the Holy Rosary we can win battles,
09:20Interiors, of course.
09:23Thus, depth depends on the openness of our hearts.
09:30Because prayer, then, is not about who knows the most,
09:34or the one who knows less, no.
09:35No, it's about opening ourselves up.
09:40What is prayer?
09:41But to place ourselves before God.
09:43When the priest is about to celebrate the Eucharist,
09:46He prepares himself, and in the end gives thanks for having celebrated such a great mystery of God.
09:53because the whole mystery that we celebrate in the Rosary,
09:57It is the life of our Lord Jesus Christ.
09:59And that is why depth speaks of the Gospel mystery,
10:07what each moment is.
10:09That is why they spoke of the mysteries of joy,
10:13the glorious mysteries,
10:15the painful mysteries,
10:17and then the luminous mysteries.
10:20Now that I mentioned Father Ernesto,
10:22from there in Argentina,
10:24It is the place where all the devotions are located,
10:28or most of the invocations,
10:31in Nazareth,
10:32there in Jerusalem,
10:34in Nazareth,
10:35where the Annunciation took place,
10:38in the Basilica of the Annunciation,
10:39It also has many,
10:42lots of images
10:44of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
10:46Of course, they are not all of them,
10:48It would be endless,
10:50but without a doubt,
10:51and then Father Roberto Figueroa,
10:54He will tell them about the Blessed Virgin of Guadalupe,
10:58which is the image of Mary,
11:00the invocation of Mary,
11:02most revered throughout the world.
11:04Although we have the Virgin of Lourdes,
11:07So there,
11:08to Bernadette,
11:09also in Fatima,
11:12to the shepherd children,
11:14such as praying the Holy Rosary,
11:16It's something very,
11:17but very special.
11:18And for us,
11:21center your life on Christ,
11:24Well, the thing is,
11:26because it leads us to the mystery of Christ.
11:30That's why,
11:31the Virgin Mary,
11:33It is the precious vessel of grace.
11:38That's why,
11:38the Virgin Mary,
11:39It is the gateway to heaven.
11:42That's why,
11:43the Virgin Mary,
11:44It is the health of the sick.
11:46And around there,
11:47all the litanies,
11:50such as compliments to the Blessed Virgin Mary,
11:53Or we could talk about beatitudes,
11:56although she has always been blessed,
12:00And we'll see it in December.
12:01when we see,
12:02God willing,
12:03The Immaculate Conception.
12:06and through it,
12:09We deepen our understanding of Christ's love.
12:12And it is Mary's love,
12:15through the Blessed Virgin of the Rosary,
12:18which invites us to contemplate the beauty of Christ.
12:21Sometimes,
12:25We say the prayer,
12:27very mortified,
12:29due to family situations,
12:31very worried,
12:33But if we contemplate Christ,
12:37our hearts open,
12:38our faith,
12:40Oh,
12:42He expects everything from God.
12:44we cannot keep subtracting the Rosary,
12:48thinking about so many things,
12:51and at the same time,
12:53pending the devices,
12:55as we are today,
12:57there in the parish,
12:59on Sunday,
13:00The phone rang,
13:01And a lady replied,
13:03and he spoke very loudly,
13:04And I decided to keep quiet.
13:05Well,
13:08I say to the person,
13:08Well,
13:09I know there are emergencies,
13:11but,
13:12Well, this...
13:13It'll only take a moment,
13:14to be alone with God.
13:17And so,
13:18As you can see, nowadays,
13:20There is technology,
13:22us,
13:22Well, the children,
13:23However you want,
13:24They are born with it,
13:26us,
13:26Well, we're just getting started.
13:28in these electronic matters,
13:30But what is the language of today?
13:33Many of us,
13:34we received,
13:34or did you receive,
13:36invitation to this conference,
13:39or more than a conference,
13:40this sharing,
13:42via WhatsApp,
13:44or via Facebook,
13:45or another situation,
13:47TRUE?
13:48So,
13:49We have to learn to live together,
13:51with these means,
13:53but that they bring us closer,
13:55to Christ,
13:56And of course,
13:57the Blessed Virgin Mary.
13:59Pope Leo XIII,
14:00Rosario declared,
14:02as an instrument,
14:03says,
14:03spiritual and effective,
14:05Yeah?

14:07in the face of society's ills,
14:10And how much good it does,
14:12These words make us,
14:15that's why,

15:22and there,
15:22to one side,
15:22There is a rosary,
15:24or there is an image,
15:25of the Virgin Mary,
15:27or some holy card,
15:29Cuquita,
15:30She was a lady,

16:00that once,
16:01a lady,
16:03this,
16:04Well then,
16:04very old,
16:06her matter,
16:07It was that the bones,
16:08They were coming out,
16:09just like that, out of nowhere,
16:11like you,
16:11they need to know,
16:13many other cases,
16:15But it was so painful,
16:17and she,
16:17with a peace,
16:19I was saying,
16:19that,
16:21that,
16:23He offered it,
16:24for priestly vocations,
16:27and by the priests,
16:29And so,
16:29Do they remember the Monsignor?
16:31very holy,
16:31he,
16:33this,
16:34well,
16:35I thanked him,
16:36and it drove her,
16:37to continue offering,
16:40to our Lord,
16:41through the hands of Mary,
16:43well,
16:44their pains,
16:45and prayer,
16:46the Holy Rosary,
16:48also,
16:49on one occasion,
16:50our former rector,
16:51from the Monterrey Seminary,
16:54now,
16:55Bishop of La Palma, California,
16:56Monsignor Miguel Ángel Alba Díaz,
16:59He told us,
16:59Father Miguel,
17:00that,
17:01There was a nun,
17:05who had no sight,
17:06He was blind,
17:09and she,
17:09I was telling him,
17:10that,
17:10she,
17:11wove,
17:12she,
17:13It has unraveled,
17:14dose,
17:14and so,
17:15because,
17:16their condition becomes much more acute,
17:17touch,
17:19And he said,
17:21that each time,
17:21that made a drawn thread,
17:23a job,
17:24She prayed the Rosary,
17:26and it was a job,
17:27If one with eyesight,
17:29Well,
17:29He doesn't have that much anymore,
17:30Well,
17:31this,
17:33well,
17:34to do that,
17:34well,
17:35It's very difficult,
17:37But she,
17:38with his hands,
17:40And with that view,
17:42that God has given him,
17:43in his hands,
17:46prayed,
17:46through the Holy Rosary,
17:47when I did,
17:49those liturgical vestments,
17:51because, as he said,
17:52which was for priests,
17:54to be in front,
17:55the best presented,
17:57before God,
17:58and one occasion,
18:00she,
18:00He told Father Miguel,
18:03Look,
18:04that last night,
18:04I dreamt it,
18:06and Father Miguel,
18:07well,
18:08let's see,
18:08But as I imagined,
18:09Yeah,
18:10Yeah,
18:11Yeah,
18:11if you have no sight,
18:14Father Miguel,
18:15well,
18:16his arms,
18:17always the dawn,
18:18I believe that to date,
18:19Father Miguel,
18:21se la,
18:21I used it,
18:22So far,
18:23Yeah?
18:24And when he gave communion,
18:28says,
18:28the thing is,
18:28You give me communion,
18:30And when you give communion,
18:32I touch his arms,
18:35And what I dreamed was,
18:37touch,
18:39of his forearm,
18:41That was it,
18:42And that's why,
18:42He taught it to you,
18:45and Father Miguel,
18:46he told her,
18:47well,
18:47pray for me,
18:49And she told him,
18:50That's where he told her,
18:52This situation,
18:54how through the Holy Rosary,
18:56she asked,
18:58and kept asking,
18:59by the priests,
19:01So,
19:03John Paul II,
19:04I mentioned,
19:06You remember,
19:06that the Rosary,
19:08had accompanied him,
19:09at many times,
19:10with joy,
19:11and of tribulation,
19:12Yeah?
19:13Of course,
19:14when the attack happened,
19:16well,
19:16that the Virgin Mary,
19:17well,
19:18He saved his life,
19:20but,
19:21Pope Francis,
19:22You remember,
19:23when Pope Francis,
19:25He had the choice,
19:27who was elected Pope,
19:30after,
19:30that is to say,
19:32pray for me,
19:33and,
19:34He lowered his head,
19:36and of,
19:36in fact,
19:37today,
19:38It is Saint Francis' Day,
19:40of Assisi,
19:41It is a call,
19:42well,
19:43for all of us,
19:44to continue,
19:46well,
19:46that teaching,
19:48of the poor,
19:49of Assisi,
19:49Of course,
19:52our brothers,
19:53Franciscans,
19:54But many people,
19:55very devout,
19:56from San Francisco,
19:58and,
19:58the world's need,
20:00upon seeing,
20:00to Pope Francis,
20:02in that testimony,
20:04of that simplicity,
20:06first,
20:06what the Pope did,
20:08was,
20:09after,
20:09going out onto the balcony,
20:11took,
20:12a bouquet,
20:13of flowers,
20:14and it was directly,
20:15with the Blessed Virgin,
20:17to offer,
20:18through his ministry,
20:21And wherever he went,
20:24He asked the young people,
20:25in Brazil,
20:27that they pray for him,
20:28when,
20:28he told them,
20:29make a mess,
20:31and,
20:31and the Pope,
20:33As you can see, it's quite easygoing.
20:34with this joy,
20:38of,
20:38of Francis,
20:40that has flooded,
20:41the whole world,
20:42Of course,
20:43People say,
20:44Where does this man get this from?
20:46that peace,
20:48And so there,
20:50San Francisco,
20:51Well, it's an instrument,
20:52of peace,
20:54Our Lord Archbishop,
20:55Don Rogelio,
20:57he asked,
20:57How are we, sir?
20:59Can't you see me?
21:00to all,
21:02with that peace,
21:04with that prayer,
21:06that he owes us,
21:07to help everyone,
21:08It should motivate us,
21:10to reach,
21:11something very important,
21:13that's why,
21:14the Vatican Council,
21:15second,
21:16in Lumen Gentium,
21:17It deals with the,
21:18admirable presence,
21:20of the Mother of God,
21:22in the mystery,
21:23of Christ,
21:23and of the church,
21:26so,
21:27the Blessed Virgin Mary,
21:29what is it,
21:30mother of the church,
21:33the mother,
21:33mother of the church,
21:34and our mother,
21:35that at the foot of the cross,
21:38He left us,
21:39our lord,
21:40that's why,
21:41many,
21:42this,
21:43in other countries,
21:44For example,
21:44The Spanish,
21:46this,
21:47we were,
21:48before going to church,
21:50from Lourdes,
21:51we stayed,
21:52in San Sebastián,
21:54and a person,
21:55a lady,
21:56Hence,
21:56from the hotel,
21:57said,
21:58Where are they from?
21:59from Mexico,
22:00from Mexico,
22:01she,
22:02I thought we were,
22:03from Mexico City,
22:06says,
22:06Our Lady of Guadalupe,
22:07was,
22:08but very excited,
22:11And I said to him,
22:12Well, what a day!
22:14that a few years ago,
22:15Well, that was the situation,
22:17very difficult,
22:18in Spain,
22:19Thank God,
22:20I'm feeling better now.
22:21says,
22:22We can't go ourselves.
22:24And I said to him,
22:24well, like,
22:25if they are not a country,
22:27poor,
22:28the thing is,
22:29We can't go.
22:30but if,
22:31with that,
22:33Oh,
22:34said,
22:34Mexico,
22:34His face lit up,
22:37thinking of the Blessed Virgin of Guadalupe,
22:39so,
22:40the Virgin Mary,
22:42that's why,
22:43the Vatican Council,
22:44as he speaks,
22:45of the admirable presence,
22:46of the Mother of God,
22:48in the mystery of Christ,
22:50because,
22:52We know that the Lord is God,
22:55that the Son of God,
22:56He has been sent for our salvation,
23:01and that the Holy Spirit,
23:02for our sanctification,
23:06a,
23:07I can't say element,
23:08but the presence,
23:09of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
23:12It's such a big mystery,
23:14also for the Church,
23:15because she is,
23:18someone very special,
23:21for all of us,
23:22He just said,
23:23Pope Francis,
23:25in Colombia,
23:26that,
23:27You heard it,
23:29that,
23:29the face in Latin America,
23:30the face of faith,
23:31in Latin America,
23:32has a woman's face,
23:36And of course,
23:38this,
23:38thinking,
23:39in the Blessed Virgin Mary,
23:40and in our homes,
23:43The gentlemen too,
23:44TRUE?
23:46But in the homes,
23:48those who teach us to pray,
23:50Well, they're the mothers,
23:51or the catechists,
23:54We all remember,
23:55to our catechist,
23:57even though we are already old,
24:00We all remember,
24:00the moment,
24:02of the meeting,
24:02with Jesus,
24:03and the Eucharist,
24:04although,
24:08Yeah,
24:09there was someone,
24:10that,
24:10that I cannot receive,
24:12the Eucharist,
24:14but if spiritually,
24:16the strength of God,
24:18that sprout,
24:19of the sacraments,
24:21and devotion,
24:21to the Most Holy Mother of God,
24:24which is something,
24:25very important,
24:26like you,
24:28I mean,
24:28There are some images,
24:30where,
24:31I remember,
24:32Father Ernesto,
24:33that there is a Christ,
24:35where the Blessed Virgin Mary is,
24:37Or I think it's the Cross of Chonsa,
24:40also,
24:42And for us,
24:43is,
24:44devotion,
24:44something,
24:45very important,
24:47where it leads us,
24:48the Holy Rosary,
24:50that,
24:50to come from Christ,
24:51and invites us to contemplate,
24:53to Mary,
24:54in the face of Christ,
24:56because,
24:58It is him,
24:59who gives us his grace,
25:00is,
25:03through Christ,
25:03centrality,
25:04of our faith,
25:06but,
25:06which allows,
25:07that through,
25:08of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
25:10well,
25:11let's find,
25:11the face of Christ,
25:15there is no,
25:16coincidences,
25:17there is,
25:18There are no coincidences,
25:19every year,
25:22It's my turn to go.
25:23as a member,
25:23of the,
25:24of the,
25:24committee,
25:25who organizes the pilgrimage,
25:27of the archdiocese,
25:28from Monterrey,
25:29to the Basilica of Guadalupe,
25:31on the pilgrimage,
25:33And I said to him,
25:33to the Archbishop,
25:36well,
25:36As you can see, one has to ask for permission.
25:37well,
25:38to go to different places,

25:42and he's going to Barcelona,
25:44to see a niece,
25:45along with my sister,
25:46and my brother-in-law,
25:49Let's see,
25:50to my niece,
25:51And I said to him,
25:52Sir,
25:52well,
25:52I won't be able to be there.
25:54this year,
25:55in Mexico City,
25:56in the Basilica of Guadalupe,
25:57said,
25:58look,
25:58Don't worry,
25:59If you don't go,
25:59The Basilica is not falling down,
26:01no problem,
26:03this,
26:04me too,
26:05Well,
26:05And it happened to me,
26:06I believe,
26:06with the due,
26:08this,
26:09this,
26:11with all due respect,
26:12TRUE,
26:13What happened to me was what happened to Saint Philip of Jesus,
26:15TRUE,
26:15No,
26:15No,
26:15I'm not from San Felipe either.
26:17no way,
26:18but,
26:18the waters carried him elsewhere,
26:21Yeah,
26:21He was coming to Mexico,
26:22to be ordained a priest,
26:24so,
26:25we were going,
26:27in the United States,
26:28to fly to Houston,
26:30and it was closed,
26:31You remember,
26:32he,
26:32he,
26:32Houston airport,
26:34It was closed,
26:35and they send us,
26:37Mexico City,
26:38And you can't get to Monterrey all at once,
26:40it can't be done,
26:41Well,
26:42so,
26:43during the flight,
26:44the pilot says,
26:45that is going to land in Macalem,
26:47because,
26:47Mexico City airport,
26:49It has flooded,
26:50You remember,
26:52so,
26:52when the airport flooded,
26:54We stayed there in Macalem,
26:56And I said,
26:56Listen,
26:56I live here three or four times,
26:58I can't get off,
27:00I'm staying here in Macalem,
27:01My cousin was already there,

27:05for dinner,
27:06and so much else,
27:07and not,
27:09It has to fly direct,
27:10to Mexico City,
27:12I arrived around three in the morning,

27:17in the midst of chaos there,
27:18out of so many people,
27:19who had been there for many hours,
27:21stranded,

27:37And what's up with you?
27:38I want to celebrate Mass here.
27:43at six o'clock,
27:46And then one identifies oneself,
27:48and all,
27:50And it was as if the Virgin Mary told me,
27:51You didn't come on August 12th,
27:53as every year,
27:56And that day,
27:57I entered the seminary,
27:58August 12th,

28:12wherever,
28:14It leads us,
28:16to Christ,
28:17the Eucharistic mystery,
28:20and the next day,
28:22in San Juan de los Lagos,
28:25the Virgin Mary,
28:26is always present,
28:27in our lives,
28:28and shows us the face of Christ,
28:30It also offers us,
28:31an ordinary opportunity,
28:33says,
28:35ordinary opportunity,
28:36and fruitful,
28:39even if you say,
28:40We are going to pray in Rosario.
28:41and in the parish,
28:43the Mystic Rose group,
28:45they used to get together,
28:46the ladies,
28:48to pray in their homes,
28:50me too,
28:52Sorry for saying "I,"
28:54Every time I go to a parish,

29:12then,
29:14the,
29:14faith for us,
29:15is,
29:16that God is coming,
29:18even us,
29:20God is coming,
29:21with us,
29:23and in that faith,
29:24who is Jesus,
29:25that arrives,
29:26to touch each other,
29:28through the Virgin Mary,
29:30and the Mystic Rose group,
29:32well,
29:33what are they doing,
29:33out here,
29:34Come to the parish,
29:38We can go,
29:39of course,
29:40And right now,
29:41It's already a group,
29:41already very old,
29:44each of you,
29:46will have experiences,
29:47who gather in houses,
29:48And it's very beautiful,
29:50But experience,
29:51of faith,
29:52He speaks to us,
29:53of a communion,
29:56and the church,
29:56It is communion,
29:58the church,
29:59It is communion,
30:00he cannot say,
30:01my rosary,
30:03Yeah,
30:03my devotion,
30:05No,
30:06It is our devotion,
30:08That's why we say,
30:09Maria,
30:09Mother of Grace,
30:10Mother of Mercy,
30:11She is our Mother,
30:12She is the Mother of Communion,
30:15that's why,
30:16She was there,
30:17together with the disciples,
30:19over there,
30:20persevering,
30:21in prayer,
30:23and it is,
30:24very fertile,
30:25even if it's just a prayer,
30:26simple,
30:28but it is very,
30:28very fertile,
30:29It is spiritual,
30:31and pedagogical,
30:32so that,
30:33for personal contemplation,
30:35and training,
30:37of God's people,
30:38and the new evangelization,
30:40You remember,
30:41in,
30:42Santo Domingo,
30:43when,
30:44There is the church,
30:48and there are conferences,
30:49episcopalians,
30:51of,
30:51by continent,
30:52TRUE,
30:53the Selam,
30:54when,
30:54here in Puebla,
30:55There was a conference,
30:56or in Santo Domingo,
30:58when it was in Puebla,
30:59It was the Marian year,
31:00even,
31:01the one from '87,
31:02the Marian year,
31:05that year,
31:05I arrived in Puebla,
31:07because we live,
31:08I lived with that step,
31:09for a while,
31:09there in Puebla,
31:10all,
31:11We are from here,
31:12from Monterrey,
31:14And I remember,
31:14that I arrived at the cathedral,
31:17And there were many people outside,
31:19but a lot,
31:20and the bishop,
31:21celebrating mass,
31:23to close,
31:24the Marian year,
31:26so,
31:28How can we form the Puebla of God?
31:33in faith,
31:35through Mary,
31:37all moments,
31:39the Rosary itself,
31:41just from the images,
31:43of each of the mysteries,
31:45now Pope John Paul II,
31:46he put,
31:47the luminous mysteries,
31:48who also spoke,
31:50from different times,
31:51of the life of the Lord,
31:52It is possible to evangelize,
31:57What did the Virgin do?
31:59here with us?
32:00What the Spanish could not do,
32:02she,
32:03with their mere presence,
32:07And that's why he invites us,
32:08to the life of contemplation,
32:11since in it,
32:11we contemplate the mystery,
32:13of our Lord Jesus Christ,
32:14and of the church,
32:16the nun,
32:17the religious,
32:19the seminarians,
32:20in parish communities,
32:23in the houses,
32:25People always pray,
32:27with great devotion,
32:28of the Holy Rosary,
32:30and that devotion,
32:32For us it is,
32:34to have faith,
32:37very very strong,
32:39and tell the Virgin,
32:40that here we are,
32:42That's why he invites us,
32:43to have more faith,
32:45to pray,
32:47for a very important reason,
32:48for our families,
32:51and for peace,
32:53so necessary today,
32:55we cannot conceive,
32:57a person,
32:59who wants to do harm,
33:01to the others,
33:04But if we have to ask,
33:05Much God,
33:06for peace,
33:06Of course,
33:07by the rulers,
33:09and for all of us,
33:11He also invites us,
33:12in this meeting,
33:13with Christ,
33:14to live,
33:15to live a commitment,
33:16concrete,
33:18to live,
33:19for peace,
33:21in the month of October,
33:23It's the month,
33:24del Rosario,
33:27There is a group of young people,
33:28here in Monterrey,
33:29Well,
33:29They're already here,
33:30larger,
33:31but if,
33:31I am a chaplain,
33:32at UDEM,
33:33And there at UDEM,
33:35this,
33:37There are the kids,
33:38who wear their shirts,
33:39I pray the Rosary,
33:41and they even made videos,
33:43They once made a video,
33:44from a t-shirt,
33:46and a guy put it on her,
33:48and another,
33:49and another,
33:49until we have them all,
33:51the recitation of the Holy Rosary,
33:52And indeed,
33:53in young people,
33:54kind of curious,
33:55because,
33:56Well, almost always,
33:57Who prays the Rosary?
33:58Well, the ladies,
34:00but also the children,
34:04It's very beautiful,
34:05you surely,
34:06have heard,
34:07when a child,
34:10pray the Holy Rosary,
34:12even to the whole world,
34:13He falls silent,
34:15because it's very nice,
34:18because it is a pure prayer,
34:20of a child,
34:23and above all,
34:24when it comes to young people,
34:26It's very important,
34:29although we,
34:30we pray,
34:31Well, when there are situations,
34:33extreme,
34:35since it must be,
34:37continuous,
34:39the church speaks,
34:41as if it were a breath,
34:44in sports,
34:46Well, breathing,
34:47It is very important,
34:50when one goes,
34:50with the doctor,
34:51Well, he checks the signs.
34:53And you see how it is,
34:54There are surely doctors here,
34:56and the ladies,
34:57and the gentlemen,
34:58They know everything,
34:59of suffering,
35:00and symptoms,
35:01and all that,
35:03that our breathing,
35:04Okay,
35:05when my dad,
35:08I was very ill,
35:09health,
35:11arrive,
35:12to the emergency room,
35:13and he was completely distraught,
35:16and Dad arrives,
35:19wait a moment,
35:20my grandmother,
35:21at peace,
35:21rest,
35:21she was very devolta,
35:22from San Francisco,
35:22and of Our Lady of the Rosary,
35:26my mom,
35:27nightly,
35:28nightly,
35:30just like you,
35:31pray the Holy Rosary,
35:33your little glass of water,
35:35and pray the Holy Rosary,
35:36and falls asleep,
35:37dad,
35:42this,
35:44There came a moment,
35:45in what,
35:46the doctors,
35:47They had said that,
35:48who are already saying goodbye,
35:49We were there in therapy,
35:50Here are my sisters,
35:51and this way,
35:54And let everyone come near there,
35:56And so everyone was in therapy,
35:59And I told my mom,
36:00Dad isn't leaving right now,
36:01And having said that,
36:05He left,
36:08all,
36:09like a board,
36:11sorry,
36:12For example,
36:13and little by little,
36:17Let's move!
36:18to walk,
36:20again,
36:22And they said,
36:23your dad,
36:24She's not going to have a normal life.
36:25He won't be able to eat anymore.
36:27what you eat,
36:28I rest on Wednesdays.
36:33because going to the cinema is cheaper,
36:35this,
36:40and,
36:42one night,
36:42My mom prepared me,
36:43because his son, the father,
36:45Well, forget it.
36:45No,
36:47this,
36:49well, one meat,
36:50And so delicious,
36:52And those times when you're like this,
36:53and you feel a gaze,
36:55and I turned around,
36:57Do you want it, Dad?
36:58just a little bit,
37:00No?
37:00I've done everything for him,
37:01but without a doubt,
37:05in the family,
37:07Well, prayer,
37:09It has been very important,
37:11very, very important,
37:14and it is,
37:16in the family,
37:17It's a very important meeting,
37:19That's why when,
37:20They give them the talks,
37:21parents and godparents,
37:22of the sacraments,
37:24because we are told,
37:25of the great commitment,
37:27that we acquired,
37:30And that's why,
37:31He invites us,
37:32to unite more,
37:33as a family,

39:52newcomer,
39:53to Saint Alphonsus Liguori,

39:58because,
39:59He is a saint,
40:02who wrote,
40:03the glories of Mary,
40:06And it's a very sweet book,
40:08in the contemplation of Mary,
40:12although from Mary,
40:13As it says,
40:14As it says,
40:16Saint Bernard of Clairvaux,
40:18Thank you very much,
40:20pass through Mary's hands,

40:28through the hands of Mary,
40:29And it's Maria,
40:31We contemplate Mary,
40:32like a shining face,
40:34like the sun,
40:36There is a song,
40:37from the Géster community,
40:38who speaks precisely,
40:40of,
40:41of such a great mystery,
40:43that is in between,
40:44the moon and the sun,
40:46and it is,
40:47Maria,
40:48full of grace,
40:50that receives,
40:51on behalf of God,
40:52our lord,
40:53that light,
40:54that radiates,
40:56to each one,
40:57of us,

40:59We contemplate Mary,
41:01contemplation,
41:02has in Mary,
41:03his model,
41:04the face of his son,
41:05It belongs to him,
41:06in a special way,
41:08since from her,
41:09in her blessed womb,
41:11has been formed,
41:12and has taken from her,
41:13human likeness,
41:14that evokes,
41:15a spiritual intimacy,
41:16Maria's features,
41:21that's why,
41:23when,
41:23We are told,
41:24of a deep love,
41:26the church,
41:27It speaks of a deep and tender love,
41:28because,
41:29is,
41:29from the womb,
41:32where,
41:33is being conceived,
41:34where,
41:34the child,
41:35It's growing,
41:36well,
41:37It's a tender love,
41:38and also,
41:39through the rosary,
41:40can,
41:40like Mary,
41:42keep,
41:42all things,
41:43and meditate on them,
41:44in our hearts,
41:46And that's why,
41:47It makes us sing,

42:33go to Christ,
42:35and does not turn to Mary,
42:36It's like,
