00:00:00Welcome back brothers and sisters, continuing our catechesis, we now intend to help you
00:00:09To you, parents and godparents, so that you may know how to use the Bible in your personal prayer
00:00:15and draw from it all the content for our lives. We will insist that the disciple
00:00:21You must not only listen to the Master's voice, but also apply it, and for that you need to
00:00:27to penetrate the heart. That is why meditation, which is at the center, is fundamental.
00:00:34of the Master's instruction. The divine lesson is, in other words, the word that
00:00:40One prays. It is through this exercise that one manages to merge with the soul in order to then move on.
00:00:47to life. In this session we will see what the steps are to make the word of God a reality.
00:00:52It becomes life. Likewise, an example of how it operates within us.

00:02:29Dear brothers, welcome back to this preparatory course on Sacred Scripture.
00:02:35We're going to finish today with a very important chapter,
00:02:39which refers to our preparation, to our formation in the Word of God,
00:02:45and to use this as a resource for our prayer.
00:02:49And indeed, from our baptism, we must remember that we are called to be disciples of Christ,
00:02:56That is, followers of the Master.
00:02:59We, the Christians of today, the Christians of the 21st century,
00:03:04We are responsible for ensuring that the Gospel continues to be spread throughout the world.
00:03:08But can we give what we don't have?
00:03:12Definitely not.
00:03:14We clearly recognize that adage that says, no one can give what they do not have.
00:03:19That is why the Master chose twelve to teach them everything about the new life.
00:03:27These are the ones we call his disciples.
00:03:30They would therefore be the ones in charge of bringing this new, this novelty,
00:03:36This news that Jesus was preparing for all of us.
00:03:40Without them, this wouldn't have grown, it wouldn't have developed.
00:03:45Each one of us, now, is one of these disciples.
00:03:51Jesus trained these first twelve with the idea that they could be the ones to carry the message of salvation to others.
00:03:58They saw him work, they heard his words, then he trained them little by little
00:04:03so that they would acquire not only theoretical knowledge,
00:04:07but especially a practical knowledge of all the teachings that He wanted us to know as well.
00:04:15Now, the important thing for the disciple is that we can, when we have the instruction of the Master,
00:04:26We have to listen to him.
00:04:27The disciple must learn and live what he has learned, for the Gospel is above all a way of life.
00:04:35Therefore, Jesus will praise his mother, as we see in chapter 11 of the Gospel of Saint Luke,
00:04:44verses 27 and 28, where you will remember that woman who stood up and said to him,
00:04:50Blessed is the breast that fed you and the womb that gave you birth.
00:04:55And Jesus answers, rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and live it,
00:05:03Because, well, giving birth to a child or breastfeeding a child isn't really that difficult.
00:05:11Women in general can do it.
00:05:14The problem isn't this; the problem is in listening and doing what God asks of us.
00:05:21in living, in putting this word into practice.
00:05:24And for this reason Jesus praises his Blessed Mother, who is the perfect model of the disciple.
00:05:31He is the one who hears the word of God and seeks to live what he hears.
00:05:37Studying Sacred Scripture is of little use to us if we do not put it into practice.
00:05:43So says the apostle James.
00:05:45I want you to open your Bible to the letter of the apostle James,
00:05:48In chapter 1, verse 23, it says the following.
00:05:55Therefore, put the word into practice, and do not merely listen to it;
00:06:00deceiving yourselves, for whoever hears the word and does not keep it will be deceived.
00:06:05He resembles a man who gazes at his reflection in a mirror.
00:06:09And after looking at each other, they quickly forget what they looked like.
00:06:15Now, you can realize the importance of not only listening.
00:06:21Many people go to mass.
00:06:24We have heard the word of God a great deal.
00:06:27Each week when we go to mass we hear three readings.
00:06:31We have heard it.
00:06:32But how much of this word do we really know?
00:06:36How much of this word do we put into practice?
00:06:40The important thing is not only to listen, but to put into practice the word that we hear.
00:06:47That is why throughout the history of the church,
00:06:50This has been seeking the way in which the word of God becomes life for each one of us.
00:06:56To do this, we must distinguish two fundamental activities of a disciple.
00:07:03First, meditation, which we can also call divine lesson, we'll look at it right now,
00:07:09and the study of the word.
00:07:11These are two fundamental activities through which the word of God penetrates our lives
00:07:19and it gradually shifts towards personal life.
00:07:24Because if we don't assimilate it, then life doesn't happen.
00:07:29Imagine, let me give you an example, perhaps a somewhat funny one,
00:07:34But imagine we eat a hamburger, we eat it, it tastes delicious, it delights us,
00:07:43We eat it, but we don't digest it because we have some stomach problem.
00:07:48What's going to happen to that hamburger?
00:07:51That hamburger, well, we're going to have to throw it up, right?
00:07:54Because it is not assimilated, and if it is not assimilated, it has to leave the body.
00:07:59However, if that hamburger is assimilated, it will turn into hair.
00:08:03It will turn into nails, it will turn into cells that will sustain the life of our body.
00:08:10Exactly the same thing happens with Holy Scripture.
00:08:12It has to become a part of us so that little by little this life moves towards everyday life.
00:08:20towards our normal lives and then be governed by Holy Scripture.
00:08:26To think as God thinks, to act as God acts, to speak these words that God has placed in our hearts.
00:08:33Let's begin by saying that we're going to talk first about the divine lesson, if that's alright with you.
00:08:42And let's begin by saying that the divine lesson can also be called prayerful reading of the word,
00:08:49Well, it's a reading that takes place within the prayer,
00:08:53whose fundamental objective is that the word of God takes root in the heart and becomes life.
00:08:59So that in our daily lives, the word of God may guide all aspects of our lives in a certain way,
00:09:09Listen to this, spontaneously.
00:09:11When the word has been assimilated into our heart, it emerges naturally.
00:09:17We don't have to be thinking about it, it's become part of our lives, like so many things in our lives.
00:09:22that we have learned and react, we respond naturally.
00:09:27While in prayer, the word of God mysteriously adheres to the soul.
00:09:33And from there, it naturally drives the will.
00:09:39And this is how we begin to act in a Christian manner.
00:09:44See how important that is?
00:09:46In other words, the Christian life is not an act,
00:09:49It's not something we do on Sunday when we go to mass.
00:09:52or in some other particular activities that have to do with the church.
00:09:57No.
00:09:58When the word of God has become life in us,
00:10:01We began to act in a Christian manner.
00:10:05We began to act guided by this word
00:10:07that the Holy Spirit places in our hearts
00:10:11And from there, a new life develops.
00:10:14That's why a Christian is a different person.
00:10:18because he thinks, speaks, and acts in a special way.
00:10:24because he is driven by the word of God that dwells in his heart.
00:10:29We have to put it in, we have to put it in there.
00:10:32so that the Holy Spirit can then work with her
00:10:36and at the precise moment make use of what we in our prayer
00:10:41We already put it in.
00:10:43To achieve this penetration of the word
00:10:47The divine lesson has been structured in four simple steps
00:10:52that with daily exercise
00:10:54They become an instrument for the development of Christian life.
00:10:59And what are these steps?
00:11:01Very simple.
00:11:03These four steps are
00:11:04first
00:11:05the lesson or the reading of the word
00:11:09A second moment within this prayer session with the word of God
00:11:16It is called meditatio or meditation
00:11:20A third moment is the oratio
00:11:24which we would also know as prayer
00:11:28And finally we have the action
00:11:30which is the action
00:11:32or the purpose that emerges from what we have read
00:11:35Four steps
00:11:37which we will see are simple
00:11:38and that all of us can now
00:11:41From now on, start developing.
00:11:44Let's talk first then about the lesson
00:11:46The lesson consists of careful reading
00:11:50Careful reading
00:11:54Many times we read and we're not paying attention
00:11:57We are thinking about the children
00:12:00We are thinking about work
00:12:01We're thinking about I don't know what things
00:12:03And we don't read carefully.
00:12:06And that means we miss a lot of details.
00:12:09Therefore, the lesson essentially consists of
00:12:14in a careful reading of the word of God
00:12:18That's where we'll find out about the places
00:12:22the moments
00:12:23You have to use the scores
00:12:26in order to truly penetrate
00:12:30at least in this first part
00:12:32which is the surface part
00:12:33to read correctly
00:12:35a careful reading
00:12:36Once we have done a careful reading
00:12:40Now let's meditate
00:12:41And then we enter the second stage
00:12:44which we call meditation
00:12:46which now consists of meditating
00:12:48what you read
00:12:50So now this
00:12:52which used to be letter
00:12:53transforms into words
00:12:55and actions in our soul
00:12:57It is relevant at this time
00:13:02to take the floor for us
00:13:05is to allow the word
00:13:08now take shape within us
00:13:10in such a way that
00:13:12when we meditate
00:13:15we can at that moment
00:13:17to give it meaning
00:13:19what we are
00:13:20to what we are reading
00:13:22We need to extract now
00:13:25the thought of the Holy Spirit
00:13:27We close our eyes
00:13:30and we began to allow
00:13:31let God begin to recreate
00:13:34all this within us
00:13:35The prayer
00:13:37immediately
00:13:38It is an action
00:13:39what the Spirit does
00:13:41in our hearts
00:13:42He comes to our aid
00:13:45and communicates with us
00:13:47impregnating now
00:13:48in the soul
00:13:49feelings and resolutions
00:13:51that only He knows
00:13:53and that emerge
00:13:54from what we have read
00:13:55and finally
00:13:57the action
00:13:58which refers
00:13:59to the purposes
00:14:01that emerge
00:14:01of our meditation
00:14:03It's about practical things.
00:14:05that we feel
00:14:07that God tells us
00:14:08what should we do
00:14:08or change
00:14:09And this is what appears
00:14:11currently clear
00:14:12in our mind
00:14:13and in our hearts
00:14:14It is important to say
00:14:17that this is not all
00:14:19what the Spirit does
00:14:20well, most of it
00:14:22remains hidden
00:14:24in our heart
00:14:25and only He knows
00:14:26at what point
00:14:27will be used
00:14:28this material
00:14:29that we have read
00:14:30and that we have meditated
00:14:32It would seem as if already
00:14:34Well, this is what we read
00:14:37that's all
00:14:37and not
00:14:38You must remember
00:14:40that the word of God
00:14:41It is God himself
00:14:42so that God
00:14:44work in us
00:14:45things that we
00:14:46we don't know
00:14:47His word is taking effect
00:14:49mysteriously
00:14:50in the soul
00:14:51and these actions
00:14:53of God in the soul
00:14:54through his word
00:14:56at a certain moment
00:14:58they will emerge
00:14:59we didn't even meditate on them
00:15:00suddenly
00:15:02we are surprised
00:15:03saying things
00:15:04thinking things
00:15:05speaking in such a way
00:15:07that one immediately
00:15:08I would reflect
00:15:10and I would say
00:15:11This is what I've already read
00:15:12But I read that.
00:15:13a few months ago
00:15:15but this word
00:15:16It was what I needed today.
00:15:18It comes quickly
00:15:19to our mind
00:15:20and to our heart
00:15:21God when we
00:15:23we read his word
00:15:24does wonderful things
00:15:26because we are
00:15:27entering into its mystery
00:15:29in the mystery
00:15:30of the word
00:15:32of God
00:15:32and well
00:15:33well now
00:15:34how to make it
00:15:36we already know
00:15:37what is
00:15:37and well
00:15:38Let's see
00:15:39some steps
00:15:40which I hope
00:15:41that they may be
00:15:41very useful
00:15:42so that you
00:15:43you can
00:15:44perform properly
00:15:45first
00:15:46we have to look
00:15:48a place
00:15:48wherever you can
00:15:50being alone
00:15:51at least
00:15:51for half an hour
00:15:53a meditation
00:15:54less than half an hour
00:15:55ordinarily
00:15:56will not leave
00:15:57many elements
00:15:59positive
00:15:59in the soul
00:16:00need
00:16:01at least
00:16:02half an hour
00:16:02God
00:16:03It needs time
00:16:05to work on the soul
00:16:06because the soul
00:16:07is human
00:16:08and then
00:16:08is restricted
00:16:10through many barriers
00:16:11that we need
00:16:12little by little
00:16:13remove
00:16:14of our life
00:16:15find a place
00:16:16preferably
00:16:18where there is no
00:16:19Too much light
00:16:20This bothers us
00:16:22and it doesn't allow us
00:16:23enter into intimacy
00:16:24however
00:16:25There must be
00:16:26enough light
00:16:27to read
00:16:28Because you're going to read
00:16:29your word
00:16:30You are going to read the word
00:16:31of God
00:16:31then you need
00:16:32that there is a little
00:16:33light
00:16:33immediately
00:16:35You must select
00:16:36the topic
00:16:37about which
00:16:38you must meditate
00:16:39could be
00:16:40obedience
00:16:42could be
00:16:43mercy
00:16:44you can meditate
00:16:45passion
00:16:46you can choose
00:16:48some topic
00:16:48in which you want
00:16:49particularly
00:16:50meditate
00:16:51or
00:16:52you can take
00:16:53the holy scripture
00:16:54and meditate on it
00:16:55in a way
00:16:56consecutive
00:16:57for that
00:16:58It is important
00:16:59choose
00:17:00a reading
00:17:01appropriate
00:17:02ordinarily
00:17:04I propose to you
00:17:05two readings
00:17:06which I think
00:17:07which are
00:17:07very important
00:17:09to perform
00:17:10at the beginning
00:17:11of our training
00:17:12the first
00:17:14I would be
00:17:14the gospel
00:17:15of Saint Luke
00:17:16It is a
00:17:17It is a gospel
00:17:19long
00:17:20but it is the one that
00:17:21It is written
00:17:22more for us
00:17:23because it is written
00:17:25first
00:17:25by a doctor
00:17:26who was pagan
00:17:27I didn't know
00:17:28customs
00:17:29from Israel
00:17:29and then
00:17:30He had to find out.
00:17:31He had to prepare
00:17:33and it has a feather
00:17:34well, from a man
00:17:36lawyer
00:17:36then it is
00:17:37very affordable
00:17:38It's easy
00:17:39of interpreting
00:17:41to assimilate
00:17:42and the second
00:17:43reading
00:17:44which I think
00:17:44which is very important
00:17:46It's the letter
00:17:47to the Ephesians
00:17:48You can start
00:17:50with anyone
00:17:51of the two
00:17:51in particular
00:17:53perhaps I would suggest
00:17:55start with
00:17:55Saint Luke
00:17:56but you could
00:17:57begin
00:17:58with the letter
00:17:59of wood
00:17:59to the Ephesians
00:18:00then once
00:18:02selected
00:18:02the topic
00:18:03now
00:18:04what attitude
00:18:05you want to get
00:18:06about what I would like
00:18:09work
00:18:10herein
00:18:11in this meditation
00:18:12what defect
00:18:14would you like
00:18:15change
00:18:15what appearance
00:18:17of life
00:18:17of Jesus
00:18:18would you like
00:18:19contemplate
00:18:20come on
00:18:21let's see
00:18:21For example
00:18:22if you took
00:18:23the gospel
00:18:24Lucas
00:18:24what appearance
00:18:25of life
00:18:26of Jesus
00:18:26would you like
00:18:27contemplate
00:18:28probably
00:18:29would you like
00:18:30take for example
00:18:31the passage
00:18:32of the son
00:18:33prodigal
00:18:34and reflect
00:18:35in your own
00:18:36life back
00:18:37to the father
00:18:37or reflect
00:18:39the end
00:18:40of this chapter
00:18:41where the brother
00:18:42then decide
00:18:43Well, he has decided
00:18:44in principle
00:18:45never accept again
00:18:46to the brother
00:18:47pride
00:18:48envy
00:18:48in the end
00:18:49all these elements
00:18:50could be
00:18:51content there
00:18:52immediately
00:18:54Now we must invoke
00:18:55the Holy Spirit
00:18:57so that it may enlighten you
00:18:58This is what there are
00:19:00already many prayers
00:19:01high schools
00:19:02for this
00:19:02for this moment
00:19:04are
00:19:05prayers
00:19:06that have used
00:19:07different saints
00:19:08teachers of prayer
00:19:09and that you can find
00:19:11in many little books
00:19:12prayer
00:19:13on the internet
00:19:14in the end
00:19:14It is important
00:19:16above all
00:19:16in your first experiences
00:19:18when you don't have
00:19:19extensive experience
00:19:20in the spiritual life
00:19:21and in the lesson
00:19:23that you get
00:19:24some little book
00:19:25wherever they come from
00:19:26some sentences
00:19:27above all
00:19:28to invoke
00:19:28assistance
00:19:29and the light
00:19:30of the Holy Spirit
00:19:31so you can
00:19:32This will help you
00:19:33and you can open
00:19:34with greater ease
00:19:35your heart
00:19:36and now
00:19:37well
00:19:38read it
00:19:40attentive
00:19:40we were saying
00:19:41from the text
00:19:42look for the text
00:19:43that this text
00:19:45It doesn't have to be very long
00:19:46because otherwise we get lost
00:19:47There are so many things
00:19:49It must be
00:19:49a text
00:19:50that it is not too long
00:19:51but neither
00:19:52be too short
00:19:54but at the same time
00:19:55Well, I'll tell you a lot.
00:19:56And this is only
00:19:58with practice
00:19:59You'll do it gradually.
00:20:00at first
00:20:01you'll realize
00:20:02which one do you choose
00:20:02very long pieces
00:20:04of writing
00:20:04where
00:20:05after a long
00:20:07from a long read
00:20:08because you find a
00:20:09something that really
00:20:10It catches your attention
00:20:12the further you advance
00:20:15Well, you see.
00:20:16that are still small pieces
00:20:17sometimes half a verse
00:20:19I would give you enough
00:20:20material for all
00:20:21your meditation
00:20:22at first
00:20:23It won't be like that.
00:20:24but
00:20:25start reading
00:20:27select more or less
00:20:28the section
00:20:31ordinarily
00:20:32I tell them
00:20:32It begins with what is called
00:20:34a pericope
00:20:35that is to say
00:20:35in your Bible
00:20:37You'll see they're coming
00:20:37securities
00:20:38generally
00:20:40a title
00:20:40from among a title
00:20:41and another
00:20:42would be a
00:20:42a pericope
00:20:43that is to say
00:20:43It's a topic
00:20:45complete
00:20:46more or less
00:20:47It depends on the
00:20:48different editions
00:20:50as they define
00:20:51the pericopes
00:20:52but that
00:20:53for right now
00:20:53for a start
00:20:54for you it could be
00:20:55a way of reading
00:20:57I'm going to read
00:20:57between a part
00:20:58and another
00:20:59and then
00:21:00That's going to give me
00:21:00sufficient material
00:21:01so that I can
00:21:02find a topic
00:21:03that catches my attention
00:21:05It's already working there.
00:21:06the Holy Spirit
00:21:07now
00:21:08following the method
00:21:10of Saint Ignatius of Loyola
00:21:11which is the one I used
00:21:12for many years
00:21:14since I met him
00:21:15in the seminar
00:21:15draw the representation
00:21:18about what you are meditating on
00:21:19in your imagination
00:21:21Imagine, for example
00:21:23taking this topic
00:21:25that right now
00:21:26I was telling you
00:21:27of the prodigal son
00:21:27so now
00:21:29you start to imagine
00:21:31Well, however you want.
00:21:32imagine
00:21:33to the father
00:21:34of this boy
00:21:35this boy
00:21:36Can you imagine it?
00:21:36Well, I don't know.
00:21:37there at his house
00:21:38what was his house like?
00:21:39and then you imagine it
00:21:40by telling him
00:21:41to his dad
00:21:42that's already leaving
00:21:42and then you imagine it
00:21:44going along the road
00:21:45and arriving in some cities
00:21:46and misbehaving
00:21:48and then you imagine it
00:21:49how things start going badly for him
00:21:50when all this problem arises
00:21:52because he ran out of money
00:21:53And you start to think
00:21:54and you start to create
00:21:56Let me tell you
00:21:58as well as a movie
00:21:59in your head
00:22:00you start to imagine
00:22:02everything that's happening
00:22:03No?
00:22:04It even deals with
00:22:05I tell them
00:22:05when I teach this course
00:22:06in the parish
00:22:07It even deals with
00:22:09even to smelling
00:22:10the field
00:22:13What does the countryside smell like?
00:22:14What does a tavern smell like?
00:22:16of those where
00:22:17the son
00:22:18because he ended up wasting it
00:22:19your money
00:22:20then being with the pigs
00:22:22what would they smell like
00:22:24those pigsties
00:22:25And that's where they threw them.
00:22:27those apples
00:22:28and those carob pods
00:22:29that well, not even
00:22:31They let him eat
00:22:32also uses
00:22:35the meaning
00:22:35of
00:22:36the sense of smell
00:22:37and tries
00:22:38remember
00:22:38Remember that our head
00:22:40can recreate
00:22:41practically everything
00:22:42we see with our eyes
00:22:45of the mind
00:22:46we smell
00:22:47with the
00:22:48senses
00:22:49of the mind
00:22:50we hear
00:22:51with the ears
00:22:51of the mind
00:22:52treats
00:22:53to recreate
00:22:54as much as you can
00:22:55this
00:22:56this moment
00:22:57and then
00:22:59Try now
00:23:00to see
00:23:00who are the characters
00:23:02who are on the scene
00:23:03For example
00:23:05You read the whole chapter
00:23:08but
00:23:08God makes you
00:23:10go to the scene
00:23:12where they are in the tavern
00:23:13with this boy
00:23:15there
00:23:16You smell
00:23:17the aroma
00:23:18characteristic
00:23:19from the taverns
00:23:20that smell
00:23:20alcohol
00:23:21and lots of them
00:23:22of essences
00:23:23and of things
00:23:24that there
00:23:24in the taverns
00:23:25TRUE
00:23:25people
00:23:26that there
00:23:27the waitresses
00:23:28what was that atmosphere like?
00:23:29Yeah
00:23:30and who are there
00:23:32how many people
00:23:33Where is the boy?
00:23:34What are you doing?
00:23:35and then
00:23:36immediately
00:23:38try to see
00:23:38what does it do
00:23:40each one of them
00:23:41that says
00:23:42let it run
00:23:43your imagination
00:23:44there the Holy Spirit
00:23:46is working
00:23:47then try
00:23:49to investigate
00:23:50in your mind
00:23:51Why do they do that?
00:23:52ask yourself
00:23:53Why are they doing that?
00:23:55Why the waitress
00:23:56Take this
00:23:56Why the boy
00:23:57He's playing there
00:23:58let it not be the dice
00:23:59Why are you asking?
00:24:00more beer
00:24:01or wine
00:24:02or whatever
00:24:03then
00:24:05identifies
00:24:06if you are
00:24:06in the scene
00:24:07if you are part of it
00:24:08from that scene
00:24:10probably
00:24:12You are the boy
00:24:13And you see yourself there
00:24:14or maybe
00:24:16You are the waiter
00:24:17or maybe
00:24:18You are one of the diners
00:24:20who is next to him
00:24:21or maybe
00:24:22you're not
00:24:23probably
00:24:23you are simply
00:24:24as if you're watching

00:24:26And you are
00:24:27nothing else
00:24:28seeing
00:24:28You're not in the scene
00:24:29But try to see
00:24:30Let the Holy Spirit
00:24:33act
00:24:34You see why it's important
00:24:36that he has enough time
00:24:37There are situations
00:24:39at this moment
00:24:40it can lead us
00:24:41not half an hour

00:31:28Okay, let's go now.
00:31:29let's see
00:31:30the second element
00:31:32that makes possible
00:31:33that the word
00:31:34of God
00:31:34transforms us
00:31:36and be useful
00:31:37for our entire lives
00:31:39we were saying
00:31:40which were
00:31:40two activities
00:31:41so that the word
00:31:43of God
00:31:43to be done
00:31:44an experience
00:31:46Viva
00:31:46and it may be
00:31:47not only
00:31:48lived
00:31:49but used
00:31:50in our life
00:31:51relationship
00:31:51with the others
00:31:52as it tells us
00:31:53Saint Paul
00:31:54in his letter
00:31:55to Timothy
00:31:56in his second
00:31:56Letter to Timothy
00:31:57I would like you to take
00:31:59Your Bible again
00:32:00Let's see
00:32:01Second Timothy
00:32:02Chapter 3
00:32:03in verse 16
00:32:06the text says
00:32:07as follows
00:32:08all writing
00:32:10has been inspired
00:32:12For God's sake
00:32:12and it's useful
00:32:13to teach
00:32:14to persuade
00:32:16to correct
00:32:17to educate
00:32:18in righteousness
00:32:19so that
00:32:20the man of God
00:32:21be perfect
00:32:22and be prepared
00:32:23to do
00:32:24the good
00:32:25that is to say
00:32:26the word
00:32:27of God
00:32:28not only
00:32:28It is used for
00:32:29enrich ourselves
00:32:30internally
00:32:31and so that
00:32:32our life
00:32:32as we have seen
00:32:34through the
00:32:34of meditation
00:32:36through
00:32:36of the lesson
00:32:37divine
00:32:37can transform
00:32:39our heart
00:32:39but that I can
00:32:41also be an instrument
00:32:43so that we
00:32:44Let's correct it
00:32:44Let's instruct
00:32:45so that it may be
00:32:46an instrument
00:32:47of grace
00:32:48for the others
00:32:49and so
00:32:50for that
00:32:51it is necessary
00:32:52that we
00:32:53not only
00:32:54let's have
00:32:55that moment
00:32:56particular
00:32:57prayer
00:32:58with the word
00:32:59the word
00:32:59praying
00:33:00but let's go
00:33:01also
00:33:02to the study
00:33:03we see then
00:33:05the importance
00:33:06to study
00:33:07the holy scripture
00:33:09the ideal
00:33:10This study
00:33:11Let's do it
00:33:12formally
00:33:12in a school
00:33:14biblical
00:33:15Ideally,
00:33:16well, look
00:33:17in the parish
00:33:18the Bible school
00:33:19goddess
00:33:19or in some parishes
00:33:21Where are we going?
00:33:21installing
00:33:22the Bible school
00:33:24biblical spiritual
00:33:27Saint John
00:33:27that we have founded
00:33:28also
00:33:29and that soon
00:33:30we're going to have
00:33:30here too
00:33:31online
00:33:32but
00:33:33if it can't be done
00:33:34if it is not provided
00:33:36You're not here right now
00:33:36in possibility
00:33:38to do it
00:33:38It is important
00:33:40that you have
00:33:41a study
00:33:42biblical
00:33:43that you
00:33:44go
00:33:44learning
00:33:45to study
00:33:47the Bible
00:33:47and not
00:33:48depend
00:33:49nothing else
00:33:49from a school
00:33:50which is ideal
00:33:51however
00:33:52for the principles
00:33:53for the fundamentals
00:33:54we can begin
00:33:55just us
00:33:56because everyone
00:33:58must
00:33:59arrest
00:33:59one moment
00:34:00study
00:34:01that
00:34:01Well, generally
00:34:03It must be
00:34:04no less
00:34:0510 minutes
00:34:06then
00:34:08study
00:34:09we will try to go
00:34:10in depth
00:34:11about some passage
00:34:12our study
00:34:15intends
00:34:16really
00:34:17really
00:34:17that we
00:34:18we can
00:34:18well go
00:34:19to the depths
00:34:21and so
00:34:21first
00:34:22learn the quote
00:34:24from memory
00:34:25in a way
00:34:27that we can
00:34:27use later
00:34:29both in our lesson
00:34:30as in the treatment
00:34:31daily
00:34:32with the others
00:34:32just like right now
00:34:33He told us
00:34:34Saint Paul
00:34:34that is to say
00:34:35if I
00:34:36I know myself
00:34:37the appointment
00:34:38well, at the time
00:34:39that I am going to
00:34:40do my lesson
00:34:41Well, I'll take it.
00:34:42directly
00:34:42from there
00:34:43quickly
00:34:44the reference
00:34:45in my bible
00:34:45or what is more
00:34:47important
00:34:48when I'm with
00:34:49a friend
00:34:50with a sibling
00:34:51and I need
00:34:51make a comment
00:34:53or do I need to do it
00:34:54a correction
00:34:54or an instruction
00:34:55then immediately
00:34:57I can take
00:34:58the holy scripture
00:35:00and refer to it
00:35:01or bring it now
00:35:03in my head
00:35:03and then say
00:35:05remember
00:35:06that the salary
00:35:07of sin
00:35:07It is death
00:35:08That's what it says
00:35:08clearly
00:35:09the apostle Saint Paul
00:35:10your letter
00:35:11to the Romans
00:35:11Chapter 6
00:35:12verse 23
00:35:14This to people
00:35:15He is surprised
00:35:16and the word
00:35:18of God
00:35:18as we have
00:35:19come seeing
00:35:19has an impact
00:35:20particular
00:35:21in the heart
00:35:22and in the soul
00:35:23of people
00:35:24that's why
00:35:25It is important
00:35:27our dialogue
00:35:28It is important
00:35:29are important
00:35:30our words
00:35:31but when
00:35:32our words
00:35:33we use
00:35:33the word of God
00:35:34These have
00:35:35an impact
00:35:36a lot more
00:35:37important
00:35:38at the same time
00:35:40it also intends
00:35:41that we understand
00:35:42in greater depth
00:35:44the appointment
00:35:45as we saw it
00:35:46in our session
00:35:47former
00:35:47there we saw
00:35:48how could we
00:35:48to move forward
00:35:49increasingly
00:35:50That's why it's good
00:35:52to make one
00:35:53Bible
00:35:54study
00:35:55that has
00:35:56sufficient notes
00:35:57in order to be able to
00:35:58grasp
00:35:58the meaning
00:35:59from what we read
00:36:00It is also
00:36:02well useful
00:36:02to have some
00:36:03biblical commentary
00:36:05And this is important.
00:36:07Let it be a comment
00:36:09biblical
00:36:09Catholic
00:36:10because
00:36:11our brothers
00:36:13separated
00:36:14They take us
00:36:14already a lot
00:36:15path
00:36:15in the study
00:36:17from the Bible
00:36:18since they
00:36:19since they don't have
00:36:20sacraments
00:36:20and they don't have
00:36:21other elements
00:36:22that enrich
00:36:23our faith
00:36:24of our faith
00:36:25Catholic
00:36:25they have put
00:36:26Pay close attention
00:36:27in going deeper
00:36:29in the sacred
00:36:30writing
00:36:30and have built
00:36:31many comments
00:36:33many of them
00:36:34very good
00:36:34however
00:36:35in order to use
00:36:37one of these
00:36:37comments
00:36:38we need to have
00:36:39already a study
00:36:40at least
00:36:41preliminary
00:36:42fundamental
00:36:42so that we
00:36:44we can discern
00:36:45the meaning
00:36:46in which it is said
00:36:47certain things
00:36:47because it remembers
00:36:49than the Bibles
00:36:50They are the same
00:36:51Well
00:36:52almost the same
00:36:53They don't have
00:36:54seven books
00:36:54however
00:36:56well even
00:36:57in the books
00:36:58that are equal
00:36:59the important thing
00:37:00is
00:37:00how
00:37:01we interpret
00:37:02how
00:37:04we interpret
00:37:05if we
00:37:06we don't have
00:37:07a comment
00:37:08Catholic
00:37:09well maybe
00:37:10in the text
00:37:11of frames
00:37:12three
00:37:12the verses
00:37:13of thirty-one
00:37:14to thirty-five
00:37:15where it says that
00:37:16The brothers were there
00:37:18of Jesus
00:37:18well we could
00:37:20we think
00:37:21and the comment
00:37:22could
00:37:22emphasize there
00:37:23the topic
00:37:24that Jesus
00:37:25those brothers
00:37:26of Jesus
00:37:26because they are children
00:37:27also of the Virgin
00:37:28Maria
00:37:29which is
00:37:29completely
00:37:30mistake
00:37:30So it's important
00:37:32I would like to show you
00:37:33some
00:37:34that you could have
00:37:36For example
00:37:36a bible
00:37:40what is
00:37:42well
00:37:43very important
00:37:44well it is
00:37:46within our study
00:37:47is
00:37:48This is the Bible
00:37:49what is
00:37:49the Jerusalem Bible
00:37:51It is one of the most
00:37:52recognized
00:37:54especially
00:37:55because of the comments
00:37:56that has
00:37:56has a lot
00:37:58comments
00:37:59And it's a bible
00:38:00which we call
00:38:01a bible
00:38:01highly exegetical
00:38:03it reproduces
00:38:04the text
00:38:04very
00:38:05with a translation
00:38:07very very
00:38:07approached
00:38:08to the originals
00:38:10from the Greek
00:38:10as from Hebrew
00:38:11in the translation
00:38:13He doesn't do much interpretation.
00:38:14It doesn't suit her
00:38:15to common language
00:38:17but does a translation
00:38:18a lot more
00:38:20criticism
00:38:20These are
00:38:22the Bibles
00:38:23study
00:38:23because they allow us to go
00:38:24and get closer
00:38:25more to the text
00:38:26we who do not
00:38:28We know Greek
00:38:29that we don't know
00:38:30Latin
00:38:30that we don't know
00:38:32Hebrew
00:38:32Well, this Bible
00:38:34It gives us the opportunity
00:38:35to go
00:38:36the closest
00:38:37to the language
00:38:39original
00:38:39stuff
00:38:40which is different
00:38:41in the Bible
00:38:43that normally
00:38:43we use
00:38:45what is
00:38:46the bible of America
00:38:47What is the Bible?
00:38:47which I recommend
00:38:48And that's the one I use
00:38:49generally
00:38:50for my preaching
00:38:51in it too
00:38:52we're going to find
00:38:53many comments
00:38:54but it doesn't have
00:38:56doesn't come near
00:38:57so much
00:38:57in his writing
00:38:59to the texts
00:39:00originals
00:39:01so
00:39:01to conduct a study
00:39:03because we would need
00:39:05preferably
00:39:06the Jerusalem Bible
00:39:07obviously
00:39:08Well, this Bible
00:39:09well it is
00:39:10more expensive
00:39:11that this
00:39:12TRUE
00:39:13because this Bible
00:39:15well
00:39:15is
00:39:16some more
00:39:17for
00:39:18the study
00:39:19of the people
00:39:20to preach
00:39:20And this is already a bible
00:39:22which has much greater
00:39:23depth
00:39:24so
00:39:25if it is
00:39:26It's different.
00:39:26its price
00:39:27but
00:39:27if one is going to enter
00:39:29to the study
00:39:30It's always good
00:39:31to have a Bible
00:39:32reference
00:39:33like the Bible
00:39:34from Jerusalem
00:39:35There are some
00:39:37comments
00:39:37there is one
00:39:39very good
00:39:40What is this?
00:39:41What is the comment?
00:39:43international biblical
00:39:45This one is edited
00:39:47by divine word
00:39:48It's a comment
00:39:50Catholic
00:39:51very good
00:39:53obviously
00:39:54as already
00:39:55the size
00:39:56from the comment
00:39:56He tells you so
00:39:57well
00:39:58it's not
00:39:59economic
00:40:00TRUE
00:40:00however
00:40:01who is going to study
00:40:03and that he wants
00:40:03truly
00:40:04deepen
00:40:05in the sacred
00:40:05writing
00:40:06because it needs
00:40:07a book
00:40:08like this
00:40:09in which we will be able to
00:40:10find
00:40:11the reference
00:40:12to each passage
00:40:13with an extension
00:40:14and in depth
00:40:15from the experts
00:40:16in the Bible
00:40:17for those who know
00:40:20English
00:40:20There is a comment
00:40:22which is very important
00:40:24within our church
00:40:25What is this?
00:40:26is called
00:40:27the new
00:40:28biblical commentary

00:41:09that is made
00:41:11in fascicles
00:41:12what it does
00:41:13that is more economical
00:41:15the same paper
00:41:16It's cheaper
00:41:17and well then
00:41:19For example
00:41:19This is a comment
00:41:21only
00:41:21from the first letter
00:41:23to the Corinthians
00:41:24Here's another one
00:41:25what is
00:41:27the letter to the Romans
00:41:28It's also a comment
00:41:30biblical
00:41:31and this
00:41:31Well, it's quite a collection.
00:41:33which presents us
00:41:35along
00:41:36from his entire collection
00:41:37only
00:41:38well
00:41:39each fascicle
00:41:41where we're going to have
00:41:42for the entire Bible
00:41:43a comment
00:41:45This does
00:41:46that you need
00:41:47practically
00:41:47a bookseller
00:41:48to have them
00:41:49very good
00:41:50this
00:41:50is called
00:41:52the new testament
00:41:53and its message
00:41:54from the publishing house
00:41:54Herder
00:41:55which also
00:41:56It is very important
00:41:57all this
00:41:58It is important
00:41:59for our study
00:42:00I also take this opportunity
00:42:02because it is very important
00:42:04also for the study
00:42:05he
00:42:06catechism
00:42:08of the Catholic Church
00:42:09this book
00:42:11It is very important
00:42:12because in him
00:42:13The entire doctrine is there
00:42:14and it's full
00:42:16also of dates
00:42:17It's full
00:42:18of elements
00:42:19of the different
00:42:21documents
00:42:21of the church
00:42:22and this when
00:42:23we are
00:42:24going deeper
00:42:25in a text
00:42:26of the sacred scripture
00:42:27It is important
00:42:28see how he translated it
00:42:29the church too
00:42:30and what references
00:42:31we can find
00:42:32in it
00:42:32in the catechism
00:42:34of the Catholic Church
00:42:35So all this
00:42:37are
00:42:38all of these are
00:42:40precisely
00:42:41the instruments
00:42:42that we use
00:42:44so that we can
00:42:45carry out
00:42:46our training
00:42:48with all this
00:42:51TRUE
00:42:51that I was just introducing to you
00:42:53It's like what's done
00:42:55what we know
00:42:56as a Bible study
00:42:58in which
00:42:58we delve deeper
00:42:59in the sense
00:43:00of the passage
00:43:01and its application
00:43:02to our life
00:43:03we can
00:43:04interpret
00:43:05and this makes it easier
00:43:07that fits
00:43:08more to our life
00:43:09well in the study
00:43:11of the word
00:43:11of God
00:43:12we will achieve
00:43:13land
00:43:14that is to say
00:43:15we're going to
00:43:16try to put
00:43:18in context
00:43:19in our own
00:43:20context
00:43:21what is it that
00:43:22Jesus tells us
00:43:24Let us remember
00:43:25that Jesus
00:43:25It's the same
00:43:26from yesterday
00:43:26today
00:43:27and always
00:43:28and that his word
00:43:29therefore
00:43:30That's right
00:43:31she is always alive
00:43:32and it is current
00:43:33but to make it
00:43:34obviously
00:43:35need
00:43:36certain tools
00:43:37like those that
00:43:38We have just introduced you
00:43:39at the moment
00:43:40Let's go to a small
00:43:42example
00:43:43that we can
00:43:43illustrate
00:43:44What is it about?
00:43:45and the results
00:43:46from this
00:43:46for that
00:43:48Let's see
00:43:49the appointment
00:43:49Lucas
00:43:50Chapter 10
00:43:51verse 39
00:43:53the text says
00:43:54It's a small
00:43:55verse
00:43:56Just look at that
00:43:57the amount
00:43:58information
00:43:59that we can take
00:44:00of a single
00:44:01verse
00:44:01here
00:44:02I'm not going to study
00:44:03many verses
00:44:04certainly
00:44:05this that we are going
00:44:06to do right now
00:44:07It's an exercise
00:44:08done
00:44:08in depth
00:44:10which is difficult
00:44:11at a certain moment
00:44:12when one starts
00:44:13your Bible study
00:44:14the ability to do it
00:44:15but so you can see
00:44:16what we can get
00:44:18and deduce
00:44:18of this text
00:44:19Marta had
00:44:21a sister
00:44:23named Maria
00:44:24that sitting
00:44:25at the feet of the Lord
00:44:26I listened to his words
00:44:28we are in the context
00:44:29that Jesus
00:44:30has gone to visit
00:44:32to the sisters
00:44:32of Lazarus
00:44:33Marten
00:44:34and Mary
00:44:35and verse 39
00:44:36He tells us
00:44:37like Mary
00:44:38I was sitting
00:44:40at the feet
00:44:41from the teacher
00:44:42if we
00:44:45We see it
00:44:45superficially
00:44:46we think
00:44:47which would not have
00:44:48much to contribute
00:44:49She is sitting
00:44:50and well
00:44:51Alright
00:44:51excellent
00:44:52that you are seeing
00:44:52to the teacher
00:44:53however
00:44:54a study
00:44:55detailed
00:44:56presents us with
00:44:57the opportunity
00:44:58to find
00:44:59a meaning
00:45:00for our life
00:45:00for that
00:45:02I'm going to take
00:45:03a study
00:45:04made
00:45:04by a teacher
00:45:05of our school
00:45:06there in the parish
00:45:07from the school
00:45:07biblical spiritual
00:45:08Saint John
00:45:09that this was
00:45:10one of their tasks
00:45:11he already
00:45:12more advanced
00:45:13in his study
00:45:14has done
00:45:15this exegesis
00:45:18this study
00:45:18about this verse
00:45:20and that goes
00:45:22to be able to help
00:45:23to understand
00:45:24how can we
00:45:25advance
00:45:25in the word
00:45:26of God
00:45:26and well
00:45:27Let's begin by saying
00:45:29to sit down
00:45:30at the feet
00:45:30of Jesus
00:45:31to listen
00:45:32his word
00:45:32is one of the
00:45:33metaphors
00:45:34that better
00:45:35describe
00:45:35to the disciple
00:45:36who are
00:45:38those disciples
00:45:39What are we talking about?
00:45:39talking
00:45:40Well
00:45:41because in Mark
00:45:42in the chapter
00:45:433
00:45:44the verses
00:45:44of the 31st
00:45:45to 35
00:45:46he tells us
00:45:47who are those
00:45:48that they feel
00:45:49around
00:45:49if you go
00:45:50to your Bible
00:45:51and you check
00:45:52this chapter
00:45:533
00:45:53and these verses
00:45:54You'll see
00:45:55that the disciples
00:45:56of Jesus
00:45:56They were sitting
00:45:58a corro
00:45:58that is to say
00:45:59They were sitting
00:46:00next to him
00:46:01Those are the disciples
00:46:02the disciple
00:46:04is the one who sits
00:46:05to listen
00:46:06to Mr.
00:46:07that is to say
00:46:08in this text
00:46:09that I just named you
00:46:11from Mark 3
00:46:12They are not
00:46:13the relatives
00:46:14who come looking for him
00:46:15because these who arrive
00:46:16to look for it
00:46:17They're looking for him.
00:46:19not because they want to
00:46:20listen to it
00:46:20those who want
00:46:21listen to it
00:46:21They were already there
00:46:22Those are the disciples
00:46:24these that go
00:46:26to look for it
00:46:26Well, they're going to look for him.
00:46:28because it has
00:46:29a behavior
00:46:30strange in the family
00:46:31if you read
00:46:33a little before
00:46:33of this text
00:46:34in Mark 3
00:46:3621
00:46:36you'll find
00:46:38that this part
00:46:39of the family
00:46:40of Jesus
00:46:41believed that Jesus
00:46:42I was like I was
00:46:43of itself
00:46:43TRUE?
00:46:45so
00:46:45the disciples
00:46:47They are not part of it
00:46:48of that family
00:46:49nor
00:46:50They are the teachers
00:46:52of the law
00:46:53who have come
00:46:54of Jerusalem
00:46:55And what do they think?
00:46:55who is possessed
00:46:56as mentioned
00:46:58verse 22
00:46:59her new family
00:47:01this family
00:47:02which tells us
00:47:04in the chapter
00:47:053 Saint Mark
00:47:06It is about
00:47:07of a new family
00:47:09It is about
00:47:10of the new town
00:47:11of the town
00:47:12that is born
00:47:13of preaching
00:47:13of Christ
00:47:14Those are
00:47:15his disciples
00:47:16are the ones who
00:47:17They sit down
00:47:18at his feet
00:47:18and they accept it
00:47:19as Messiah
00:47:20They accept it
00:47:22like God
00:47:22whoever doesn't sit
00:47:24at the feet
00:47:24of Jesus
00:47:25endangers
00:47:26your identity
00:47:27of disciple
00:47:27by not listening
00:47:29to the Lord
00:47:29if you're already going
00:47:31outlining this
00:47:33You'll realize
00:47:34about what
00:47:35this text
00:47:36that we read
00:47:37of
00:47:38where is
00:47:39Maria
00:47:40sitting
00:47:41at the feet
00:47:42from the teacher
00:47:42It already lets us see
00:47:44that she
00:47:45It is a
00:47:45disciple
00:47:46She is a disciple
00:47:49if we go
00:47:50in depth
00:47:51we'll see
00:47:51that according
00:47:52the gospels
00:47:53synoptic
00:47:53the notes
00:47:54final
00:47:55of the disciple
00:47:56of Jesus
00:47:57There are three
00:47:58that we're going to see
00:47:59reflected
00:48:00clearly
00:48:00in the text
00:48:01that we were studying
00:48:02of Mary
00:48:03according to
00:48:05the synoptic
00:48:07these three
00:48:08characteristics
00:48:08are
00:48:09first
00:48:09follow Jesus
00:48:11to listen to it
00:48:12to witness
00:48:13of their actions
00:48:14learn about their project
00:48:16and acquire
00:48:17their feelings
00:48:19That's the first one
00:48:20characteristic note
00:48:21a second
00:48:22characteristic note
00:48:24It is the break
00:48:25with the family
00:48:26for the kingdom
00:48:27of God
00:48:28I mean
00:48:29we have to break
00:48:30yet
00:48:31to be a disciple
00:48:32means
00:48:33leave
00:48:33leave it all behind
00:48:34to follow it
00:48:35him
00:48:36as clearly
00:48:37we can see it
00:48:38in the advertisement
00:48:39to the fishermen
00:48:40to Peter
00:48:40to his brothers
00:48:42to his friends
00:48:43so
00:48:44they joined in
00:48:45to become
00:48:46disciples of Jesus
00:48:47and the third
00:48:49characteristic note
00:48:51of the disciples
00:48:51of Jesus
00:48:52is the
00:48:52roaming
00:48:54and this itinerancy
00:48:57that is attached
00:48:57with the persecution
00:48:58and poverty
00:49:00which are their own
00:49:01of the mission
00:49:02of the prophet
00:49:03of God
00:49:03three notes
00:49:04characteristics
00:49:05that stand out
00:49:07that a person
00:49:08really
00:49:09it's a
00:49:10disciple
00:49:11of Jesus
00:49:11in the story
00:49:13Lucas
00:49:14Marten
00:49:14represents
00:49:15to the Christians
00:49:16come from Judaism
00:49:17tied
00:49:19to a compliance
00:49:20of the Mosaic law
00:49:21and of the traditions
00:49:22beans
00:49:23Maria, on the other hand
00:49:24represents
00:49:25to the Christians
00:49:26that they are Jewish
00:49:27or not
00:49:28represents
00:49:28to the Christians
00:49:30that from the novelty
00:49:31of Jesus Christ
00:49:32and of the kingdom
00:49:33they interpret
00:49:34the Mosaic law
00:49:35they care
00:49:37hear
00:49:37to the Messiah
00:49:38that fulfills
00:49:39at will
00:49:40of God
00:49:40revealed
00:49:41in the old
00:49:42alliance
00:49:42by Moses
00:49:43Marten
00:49:44owner
00:49:45of the house
00:49:46is busy
00:49:48with full service
00:49:49that requires
00:49:50good hospitality
00:49:51two verbs
00:49:53are
00:49:54closely related
00:49:55and they are important
00:49:56There are two verbs
00:49:57that portray
00:49:58the spirit
00:49:58that dominates
00:49:59in Marta
00:50:00she's restless
00:50:02that is to say
00:50:03She's worried
00:50:03she's busy
00:50:04and walk
00:50:05distressed
00:50:07or walk like this
00:50:08disturbed
00:50:09She's annoyed.
00:50:10Maria
00:50:12instead
00:50:12escape
00:50:13to logic
00:50:14of things
00:50:15and accepts
00:50:16logic
00:50:16of God
00:50:17she
00:50:18time is given
00:50:19to sit
00:50:20at the feet
00:50:20of Jesus
00:50:21and listen
00:50:22to the son
00:50:23beloved
00:50:23of the father
00:50:24while
00:50:25Marten
00:50:26he strives
00:50:26for feeding
00:50:27to the teacher
00:50:28with a
00:50:29activity
00:50:29febrile
00:50:30Maria
00:50:31he strives
00:50:32for food
00:50:33from the teacher
00:50:33sitting
00:50:34at his feet
00:50:35Maria
00:50:36sits down
00:50:37at the feet
00:50:37of his lord
00:50:38to listen
00:50:39his word
00:50:40that
00:50:42that depth
00:50:43In this, brothers
00:50:44we could
00:50:46we say
00:50:47And that's where
00:50:47enter
00:50:48when you are
00:50:49studying
00:50:50then
00:50:51Are you closing now?
00:50:51your bible
00:50:52and you say
00:50:53and I will not be
00:50:55one of these
00:50:56disciples
00:50:56I really give myself
00:50:58this time
00:50:59to listen
00:51:00to the teacher
00:51:00I have time
00:51:02to open
00:51:03my bible
00:51:03and put me
00:51:04to read
00:51:05and listen
00:51:06and put me
00:51:07in attention
00:51:08to the teacher
00:51:10that is
00:51:10talking
00:51:11when I go
00:51:12to mass
00:51:12the priest
00:51:15when he's going to read
00:51:15the gospel
00:51:16Well, it tells us
00:51:18reading of the saint
00:51:19gospel
00:51:20according to Saint Matthew
00:51:22according to some
00:51:22of the evangelists
00:51:23and at that moment
00:51:26really I
00:51:27I capture
00:51:28that I'm going to listen to
00:51:29to the teacher
00:51:30I pay that attention
00:51:32feel
00:51:33part
00:51:33of this instruction
00:51:35or my mind
00:51:37It's like the
00:51:37from marta
00:51:38He works and works
00:51:40I have to do this
00:51:41I have to go back
00:51:41to the other
00:51:42I left this
00:51:43in the fire
00:51:44I have to go to this appointment
00:51:45in the end
00:51:46where is my mind
00:51:48This reveals to us
00:51:51really
00:51:52as disciples
00:51:53That is why the disciple
00:51:55sits down
00:51:58like Mary
00:51:58wants to hear
00:52:00to his lord
00:52:01wants to hear
00:52:02to his teacher
00:52:03in Greek
00:52:05That's great!
00:52:06It's not easy.
00:52:08I tell you this
00:52:08It's already done.
00:52:08by a student
00:52:09a little more advanced
00:52:10but in Greek
00:52:12the verbs
00:52:12hear
00:52:13which in Greek
00:52:14I would be
00:52:15water
00:52:15is related
00:52:18with the verb
00:52:18obey
00:52:19which is called
00:52:21Ipacuo
00:52:22that is to say
00:52:23have
00:52:24the same root
00:52:25water
00:52:26what is
00:52:28hear
00:52:28and ipacu
00:52:30what is
00:52:31obey
00:52:32hypacus
00:52:34the same root
00:52:35share
00:52:37this element
00:52:38radical
00:52:39hence
00:52:41many times
00:52:42in the Bible
00:52:42hear
00:52:43means
00:52:44simply
00:52:45obey
00:52:46all other
00:52:49provision
00:52:50that it is not
00:52:50hear
00:52:51all other
00:52:53activity
00:52:54that it is not
00:52:54feel
00:52:55at the feet
00:52:56from the teacher
00:52:57it becomes
00:52:58secondary
00:53:00the disciple
00:53:02listen
00:53:04to the teacher
00:53:05so that I can
00:53:06in that listening
00:53:07take it
00:53:08to obedience
00:53:09hear
00:53:10and obey
00:53:10we saw then
00:53:11They are two elements
00:53:13that are
00:53:13completely
00:53:14related
00:53:15marten
00:53:16He has not sat down
00:53:17at the feet
00:53:17from the teacher
00:53:18only
00:53:19to listen to it
00:53:20but because
00:53:21It is decided
00:53:22to put into practice
00:53:23what the teacher
00:53:24tell him
00:53:25This leads us to
00:53:26that
00:53:27noun
00:53:28of the disciple
00:53:29the important thing
00:53:30of the disciple
00:53:31then
00:53:32hear
00:53:33and obey
00:53:34hear
00:53:35and obey
00:53:36to the father
00:53:36talking
00:53:37through
00:53:38of Jesus
00:53:39his verb
00:53:40This makes it so that
00:53:42upon hearing
00:53:43sincerely
00:53:44the sacred
00:53:45writing
00:53:46this becomes
00:53:47first
00:53:48in a
00:53:50to be with Jesus
00:53:51like a
00:53:52vocation
00:53:53like something
00:53:55that he
00:53:55it reveals
00:53:56if you like
00:53:57deepen
00:53:58on this
00:53:59you can see
00:54:00the texts
00:54:01of frames
00:54:013 13
00:54:02which is where
00:54:04Jesus calls
00:54:05to his disciples
00:54:06and also
00:54:07the text
00:54:07of facts
00:54:084 13
00:54:08I don't stop
00:54:10to consult them
00:54:11because they are only
00:54:12references
00:54:13that I want to leave you
00:54:14to avoid expanding
00:54:15too much
00:54:16this topic
00:54:17since we have seen
00:54:18practically
00:54:18two topics
00:54:19in it
00:54:20a second element
00:54:21which leads us
00:54:22that to a
00:54:23decision
00:54:24to continue
00:54:25behind him
00:54:26a person
00:54:28that studies
00:54:29the word
00:54:30which deepens it
00:54:32that extracts
00:54:33her
00:54:33knowledge
00:54:35and what God
00:54:36it reveals
00:54:37it has to take us
00:54:39definitely
00:54:40to a decision
00:54:41of following Jesus
00:54:42in my entire life
00:54:44I don't know
00:54:45to someone
00:54:45that it has been put
00:54:46to listen
00:54:48to the teacher
00:54:49that it has been put
00:54:49to study
00:54:51the word
00:54:52of God
00:54:52with a heart
00:54:54open
00:54:54to the Holy Spirit
00:54:55And I want to do
00:54:56This entry
00:54:57open to the Holy Spirit
00:54:59because there are people
00:55:00that only
00:55:00the study
00:55:01to be a good
00:55:02critical
00:55:03and to have
00:55:03more knowledge
00:55:04in the head
00:55:05No, that won't work.
00:55:06It needs to be studied
00:55:08for spiritual life
00:55:09I don't know
00:55:09to no one
00:55:10that he/she has studied
00:55:11with this heart
00:55:12open
00:55:13to Mr.
00:55:13in his word
00:55:14and has not decided
00:55:15follow him
00:55:16is
00:55:17This is a
00:55:18invitation
00:55:19to receive
00:55:21the training
00:55:21as they indicate
00:55:23different passages
00:55:24I'll give you some
00:55:25for your reference
00:55:26if you'd like to have
00:55:27note
00:55:28for example

00:55:30Matthew 8:19
00:55:33Luke 5:11
00:55:36all are
00:55:37they are
00:55:38passages
00:55:38where we see
00:55:39as
00:55:39the word
00:55:40of God
00:55:41it becomes
00:55:42by invitation

00:55:43on the other hand
00:55:45the word
00:55:46of God

00:55:48on a road
00:55:49that is to say
00:55:50in a style
00:55:51life
00:55:51as they did
00:55:52the first
