00:00How are you, dear brothers and sisters?
00:03It's great to see you all again!
00:04These capsules of Getting to Know for
00:06Love. We're trying to
00:07answer all these questions
00:10that reach us here
00:11Active Evangelization. They are
00:13doubts that some brothers
00:15They have on important topics
00:17of the life of faith. Today we
00:19A question comes in from...
00:22It comes to us from Tegucigalpa,
00:30Honduras. It's Mario who tells us
00:33He writes from Tegucigalpa and tells us
00:37He speaks, he asks us about the
00:40Virgin Mary. With that, then.
00:41Let's complete a little bit
00:43some of the experiences and
00:46what we have already discussed about the
00:48Most Holy Virgin Mary. Us
00:50says our brother Mario,
00:52Father, there is something that is not clear.
00:55for me, and I would like it for me.
00:57I'll clarify. I have some doubts.
01:00about the Blessed Virgin Mary
01:02And the first one is the Virgin Mary
01:06He died and rose again. On the other hand,
01:11The Sacred Heart touches on that topic
01:13Writing.
01:20My dear Mario, two questions. Well,
01:42a question and to know where we can
01:47Find this topic. I reply.
01:52I'll briefly answer your questions. I'll begin.
01:54Answering your last question and
01:57I will attend to the first one later.
02:00Indeed, Sacred Scripture does not
02:04It directly addresses the topic of
02:06neither the resurrection of Mary nor her assumption
02:09to the heavens. This, in essence, is due
02:12that, particularly for the first
02:15community, when they are written
02:17gospels, all attention is
02:20It focuses on Jesus. Furthermore, as it clarifies
02:23Saint John in his epilogue, not everything that
02:26What Jesus did or said is written
02:29much less what happened after the
02:32Resurrection of Christ. We must always
02:34take into account that understanding the
02:38history, both of Christ and of the
02:40church, and in particular of the Virgin
02:42Maria, they deepen with the passage of time
02:45Time. That's what we call it today.
02:48tradition, and that is transmitted in a
02:52oral, and only later will it occur
02:55in writing. This does not only refer to the
02:59revelation of the New Testament, since
03:02The Jews have not only left us the
03:04Bible or Tanaka, but a series of
03:07data that explain their holy books and that
03:10They were not integrated into their holy books.
03:14Therefore, we accept that there is no
03:16nothing written about death or the
03:19Mary's Assumption into Heaven as
03:21The church professes and confesses it.
03:24Everything we know about the end of life
03:26of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we know it because
03:28oral or written traditions after
03:32the times of the New Testament, which
03:34they reach us today through
03:36various writings. These traditions
03:39respond to the way in which the peoples of
03:42Ancient times presented their traditions,
03:45their values, stories, which they possessed
03:48a high degree of truthfulness, which is not
03:51prevented their intentions from not coinciding
03:54with our criteria for saving or
03:56to convey historical truth.
04:00Some of these traditions are
04:01considered by the church as part of
04:04the revelation made by God to his people,
04:06so we stopped talking about
04:09traditions (plural) to talk about
04:12unique and singular tradition
04:16Now, as Christians who want
04:20to understand or deepen our faith,
04:23we can sometimes lend
04:26more attention to some data that are not
04:29fundamental ones and we neglect others that
04:32Yes, they are. When we talk about Maria,
04:35We generally focus on what
04:38She did it here on earth and the
04:41We have a kind of model, but that's
04:44what she did, and especially the dogma
04:48It invites us to think about what God did
04:51in it. The Assumption into Heaven is not the
04:55crowning achievement of the efforts, work and
04:58Mary's struggles. They are love, compassion, the
05:03mercy and the greatness of God
05:06embodied in his most sublime creation.
05:09If Mary was united by the Father to Christ
05:12before the conception of Jesus and her
05:16She walked beside her Son and stood firm
05:19at the foot of the cross and remained attentive to
05:22the coming of the Holy Spirit in
05:24Pentecost, the church believes that God in
05:28His infinite mercy wanted to unite her
05:31fully to the mother of his Son in the
05:34the same place where Christ already was, in the
05:37heaven, as queen, lady, and mother. If God
05:42He wanted Maria to be there where
05:44Christ was during his pilgrimage in
05:47the earth, also wanted Mary
05:50would be there where his Son is now
05:53reigning in heaven. God does not
05:57Things are incomplete. If there is anyone who
06:01bring things to perfection and
06:03Fullness is God. And if God willed that
06:06Mary was with her Son in his
06:09I pass through life and history, too
06:13He wanted Mary to be with his Son
06:16in the glory that is due him as
06:19God's only Son. It is true that the
06:23The Bible does not speak of the Assumption of
06:25Mary, but the church professes in its faith
06:29in the Assumption, not because of what Mary
06:32could deserve, if not for the infinite
06:36the greatness of God that always leads to
06:38His work is fulfilled in his creatures, and so
06:42The Father wanted to associate Mary with life,
06:45history, passion, death of Christ, but
06:49She also wanted to associate it with her triumph and her
06:53glory, as was fitting, not to the
06:57not the greatness of Mary, but the love of a
07:01son by his mother. And if the son of
07:04That mother is infinite and perfect, her
07:08Love for one's mother must also be
07:09Perfect and infinite. Once again, it is not
07:14Mary, whose greatness we acknowledge.
07:17When we speak of her Assumption, it is of
07:20God, whom we acknowledge as always
07:22He gives generously to those who submit.
07:25fully to His will, to His love and to
07:29his call.
07:32Therefore, we must ensure, as he did
07:35Pope Pius XII in the bull Municifentisimus
07:39Deus, with which he declares the dogma of
07:42Assumption of Mary, which once finished
07:45her earthly life, the Blessed Virgin
07:48Mary was taken body and soul to
07:51darling.
07:53I hope, my brother, that this has been helpful to you.
07:56helped your faith, and although, as it
07:59We said, it's not in the Bible, it's part of
08:02of what we as Catholics
08:05We must believe, since it has been
08:07declared dogmatically by the
08:10Church as something necessary for
08:13our faith.
08:14And well, that's all for today's topic.
08:16that our brother has proposed to us
08:19Mario, and we look forward to seeing you at our
08:21Next capsule. I always invite you to
