00:00Reading cards, coffee grounds, or palms are not things that are given to people.
00:07These activities are, or rather, superstition, invented by people who find in them their modus vivendi.
00:17at the expense of superstitious and faithless people, who visit them in order to find a remedy for their ills
00:25And so they are exploited by them. Or, they are people who have been involved in the occult.
00:33and that they actually receive certain powers from the devil to turn people away from the faith and thus from God.
00:42to these superstitious Christians.
00:45The word of God is clear on this concept, for even in the Old Testament the Lord tells us
00:52God has willed that our whole life, therefore, depends on Him, that the future be built with His help
01:21And through the work of man, may man live by faith.
01:27However, man always seeks to have security in everything he does
01:31and to know what he does not know, which has led him to seek knowledge apart from God his Lord.
01:39The passage about the temptations of Jesus shows us how far the devil is capable of going.
01:46provided that he is served, then, he says to the Son of God himself
01:51I will give you all these riches of the world if you bow down and worship me.
01:57We must distance ourselves from all these people, because either they are liars who only seek to take financial advantage of us, or they are simply liars who only seek to profit from us.
02:06or they truly help us, but at the cost of our lives, our health, our loved ones,
02:15For the devil respects nothing and no one, not even our own salvation.
02:23This is what we call the lands of Satan, and we must live far away from them.
02:30When you go to a witch doctor, healer, fortune teller, card reader or palm reader,
02:38What you are doing is fracturing your faith and giving Satan the opportunity to work directly on you.
02:47and not only through temptation.
02:50As you can see, it is not something that occurs in a man nor is it something desired by God.
02:56Christians must trust in the Lord and seek His will in love, in His word, and in faith.
03:04The Catechism of the Church tells us
03:07These practices are even more reprehensible when they are accompanied by an intention
03:37to harm another. Whether or not they resort to the intervention of demons.
03:43Wearing amulets is also reprehensible, says the Catechism.
03:48Spiritism often involves divination or magical practices.
03:55For all these reasons, the Church warns the faithful to beware of him.
04:00The use of so-called traditional medicines does not legitimize the invocation of evil powers.
04:09nor the exploitation of the credulity of others.
04:13Be careful with all of this, as it can seriously damage your soul and even your body.
04:23Leave the future in God's hands.
04:25Live your present with joy, knowing that God our Lord walks with you,
04:30Walk with us all, and may the loving mantle of Mary Most Holy always cover us.
04:36No matter how dark the road may seem, faith will always serve as our guide.
