00:00How are you? That's great! I'm so glad you're following us every day. Well then.
00:27As we saw in our previous catechesis, Jesus offers us life in abundance, and for this he is
00:34It is necessary to unite ourselves to him through the Eucharist; in this catechesis we will see the importance of the
00:40reconciliation in order to be able to become intimate with him, and well, given that we are weak people who
00:48We do what we don't want, offending God and our brothers. Jesus has left us the
00:54Sacrament of reconciliation to heal the wounds that these offenses leave in our hearts
01:00And the thing is, sin is not just a stain as we generally think, but a real
01:08A disease that can lead to death is a mysterious action within us that damages us.
01:15Our happiness, sin, by separating us from God, steals our happiness and makes us experience the
01:23Effects of death: loneliness, sadness, anguish, frustration, etc.; sin irretrievably
01:33It leads to death; all the prohibitions of God's law seek to prevent man from experiencing this.
01:41God, who is the only one with the power to forgive sins, has also given this power to death.
01:50Christ gave it to his apostles, and his apostles gave it to the bishops, who are his
01:56successors and us, as the Gospel of John says, to understand the reality of sin and the
02:04The process followed to restore friendship with God and return to communion with him. Jesus established the
02:10The parable we know as the prodigal son. In this parable we see clearly how man
02:17He abandons and rejects God's love and prefers to live according to his own criteria and as God is.
02:25always eagerly awaiting his return, not to reprimand or punish him, but to fill him with his
02:33blessings and taking him back home; we can understand in this parable the process of returning
02:41to the father whom we must now follow in our process of reconciliation in this parable
02:49We see how the boy, by distancing himself from his father, experiences the consequences of his actions and ends up
02:55By eating the food of pigs, animals considered disgusting by Jews, Christians sin.
03:03He abandons God to live according to his passions and experiences the consequences of sin in this
03:10This situation leads the boy to return to his father, and he becomes aware of his actions and their consequences.
03:17This is what in reconciliation is called an examination of conscience, which allows us to discover our
03:26From there, mistakes begin the return with a repentant heart; the encounter with the Father...
03:33It speaks of the feast of the Eucharist in which the loving embrace with God is given again; we are in
03:40This, of course, implies making decisions to never go back to eating pig food again.
03:47That is, true repentance. From this parable we can discover the five conditions
03:54To make a good reconciliation, there is an examination of conscience, sorrow for having sinned, and a purpose of
04:02Amendment or change decides the sins to the confessor and fulfill our penance, the latter of course
04:10It will act on us like medicine, helping us not to repeat our mistakes. We must remember that not everyone...
04:18Sins are all the same, as Saint John says in his first letter; some lead to death.
04:25We call mortals those that we do with full knowledge and full consent and that contain
04:33serious matter, but there are others that do not contain some of these conditions and we then call them
04:39Venial sins, however, all sins hurt us and others; we must avoid them and in due course.
04:46Also confess them, brother, God is a God of mercy, as we saw in the passage about the Son
04:53prodigal and always ready to forgive, as long as there is sincere repentance, the words of
05:01Confessor, I absolve you of all your sins. Go in peace and sin no more. Truly leave your heart.
05:09in peace and enables us for full communion with Christ no matter how great your sin
05:16God's mercy will always be greater; there are people who don't approach Him because they say they have sinned.
05:23Where sin abounded, grace abounds. If you haven't experienced peace in your heart for a while, do you?
05:31If you lack an inner life and live like the prodigal son eating the garbage of the world, I invite you to
05:38seek a priest who can help you return to a life of abundance and restore your relationship with
