00:30Hello dear brothers and sisters! Welcome back to the Active Evangelization virtual classroom.
00:39We are progressing in our course on Pauline writings, and are almost at the end of it.
00:46We are analyzing the spirituality of Saint Paul.
00:48And in this session, in this class, we are going to talk about a very important topic for our lives, which is the topic of prayer.
00:58If you follow us here at Active Evangelization, you've probably already heard this topic in different forms.
01:06If you have already taken the Fundamental Evangelization course, I dedicate several chapters to discussing this topic.
01:13In short, the kerygma is a topic especially important to me, as it is fundamental, just as it is for Paul.
01:20If you haven't had the opportunity to see these topics, these texts, then I invite you to review them.
01:29They will surely be of great use in your life.
01:32And well, one of the elements that we could not do without when studying Pauline spirituality is undoubtedly the subject of prayer.
01:42I found a very interesting article in the theological journal Theologisch Seinseskrift, in its issue 35 of 1979.
01:53This article was written by Oscar Kuhlmann and is entitled La prière selon les epitres pauliniens.
02:03That is, it is the prayer as it appears in the Pauline epistles.
02:10And well, a summary of this can be found in the link that is appearing on the screen right now and it is also in the description of this class.
02:23This is a true work of art.
02:27Another great article can also be found, but this one is also for those who know French; you can find it at the link that's appearing right now.
02:36and which we also have in the description of this video.
02:41With these two texts as a frame of reference, we carried out our study on prayer in the spirituality of Saint Paul.
02:50The practice of prayer in Saint Paul would definitely mark Christian spirituality, as it takes up a vision proposed by Jesus.
03:03And he, being Jewish, makes that complete turnaround to go from prayer that was only in the temple and only following the Torah
03:14to a prayer where one opens oneself to the action of the Holy Spirit.
03:20What could we or what could we learn from someone who doesn't pray?
03:26It would be like trying to learn to swim with someone who has never been in the water.
03:31Reading the various letters of Saint Paul, we cannot doubt that the apostle was a man of prayer.
03:39a man who plunged into the depths of love, the love of God in prayer
03:44And it was precisely from there that he obtained the wisdom, strength, and courage to carry out the work that he finally accomplished in favor of Christ and his church.
03:55We can find in the Pauline letters, which are full of prayer formulas,
04:02which may seem simply conventional to us.
04:06However, they are indicative of the profound life of prayer that this man lived,
04:12because of the intense relationship he had with God, which made him keep Him present at all times.
04:17In all these formulas we find liturgical elements that are so vivid and spiritual
04:25which are still found in our liturgical prayer texts today.
04:29On the other hand, there are prayers in languages,
04:34prayers in which he invokes God as father,
04:38with the loving term of a child,
04:40Abá, papá.
04:42Prayers in which he asks for the Lord to come.
04:45These are all prayers that emerge naturally from the apostle as he writes,
04:53because surely the spirit of prayer lived in his heart.
04:58And as happens with us in areas where we are very familiar
05:03and that are expressions that emerge naturally within us,
05:09to the point where we don't even realize what we're saying,
05:13when we say, oh my, or blessed be God,
05:18or praised be the Most Holy Sacrament.
05:21In short, these are expressions that are constantly moving within us.
05:26and that at a certain moment, they simply express themselves.
05:31Something like that probably happened in the texts,
05:34because we see them as part of the text, as part of its indication,
05:40and not only as a request to ask for or use these texts that he proposes,
05:45which have ultimately been assigned to that function, especially in the liturgical area,
05:51but that emerged from him in a natural way.
05:54In fact, this is the basis of the Jesuit method.
05:59which seeks to familiarize us with certain prayer formulas,
06:04that we say them even internally while we sleep,
06:07or when we are busy with our ordinary tasks.
06:10The Jesycasse prayer, which we generally know as the prayer of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
06:16It's something that happens repeatedly,
06:19Lord Jesus, Son of God, have mercy on me.
06:22The Jesuits, the desert men,
06:25They used to say this 5, 10, 15 thousand times a day.
06:29This obviously gets into your heart.
06:31and there comes a point when it reproduces it naturally,
06:36without us realizing it.
06:38His letters also abound with hymns and songs inspired by the Holy Spirit,
06:46that some of them, or many of them,
06:49Paul gathers them directly from the praying community,
06:52He collects them from the communities and puts them in his letters.
06:57For example, the one we find in the letter to the Colossians,
07:00in chapter 3, verse 16,
07:05and that I would like to see with you.
07:06If you want, we can go to the text.
07:08that the word of Christ dwells in you richly.
07:14Instruct and admonish one another in all wisdom,
07:18singing to God from the heart and with gratitude,
07:20psalms, hymns, and inspired songs.
07:24So, here we see the apostle giving instructions,
07:28but taking up some pieces of songs that were surely already being sung in Christian communities.
07:36It is through these that we realize,
07:39that the members of the church already expressed their recognition of the Lord as the true God and creator of everything.
07:50Prayers that are actually catechesis,
07:54but given its beauty and content,
07:57Over time they gradually became songs,
08:00so that when the community sang, they could express more than just what words say,
08:06as happens in the psalms.
08:08This is something God has done in the people,
08:13from the Old Testament to the present day.
08:17These songs are developing in the village,
08:21These expressions end up being true catechesis
08:25or that stem from catechesis and lead us to live these experiences with the Lord.
08:31In his letters, the apostle allows us to get an idea of the dialogue he has with his Father in secret,
08:41according to the desire that Jesus expresses in the Gospel of Matthew.
08:45You'll remember that I said,
08:46When you pray to your Father, pray in secret.
08:49It is about praise and thanksgiving.
08:53In these prayers we can notice how the prayer of Saint Paul
08:57It is not just a communal prayer,
08:59but expresses his continued concern for the communities and for his brothers.
09:06Examples of these are passages from the letters to Philemon, Timothy, and the Thessalonians,
09:13where we can read things like this.
09:16I want you to come with me.
09:17First Thessalonians, in chapter 3, verses 9 to 10.
09:22What thanksgiving can we offer to God for you,
09:25for all the joy with which we rejoice before our God because of you,
09:31as we pray earnestly night and day,
09:35that we may see his face and complete what is lacking in his faith?
09:40Look at this prayer, brothers.
09:44In her we can see a true person of prayer,
09:47a man who doesn't pray so that people will see him,
09:50but to intercede powerfully for those he loves.
09:54In his prayer he gives thanks to God, and he does this continuously, day and night.
10:02How good it would be for the pastors and leaders of our church,
10:07Take this example and dedicate yourself to it,
10:10If it cannot be done day and night, as the apostle says here,
10:13Yes, very frequently and consistently,
10:17and dedicate themselves to praying for those whom the Lord has entrusted to them,
10:21as Saint Paul did for his communities.
10:24The detail in this sentence is wonderful.
10:28It gives direction to all of us who are in charge of a community,
10:33because it shows us that giving thanks is not enough,
10:36but in prayer he asks that the work of salvation be completed
10:41which He has begun, as He does in the letter to the Colossians,
10:45in which he asks that they come to the full knowledge of God's will.
10:51In this text from Colossians we find a wonderful example of this desire of the apostle.
11:00Let us then turn to this text from Colossians 1:9.
11:04The text says,
11:05For this reason, we too, from the day we found out,
11:11We have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with knowledge.
11:17of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,
11:22so that they may be worthy of the Lord,
11:27pleasing Him in everything,
11:30bearing fruit in every good work
11:32and growing in the knowledge of God,
11:36strengthened with all power according to the might of his glory
11:41to obtain all perseverance and patience,
11:44with joy, giving thanks to the Father who has empowered us
11:48to share the heritage of the saints in the light.
11:53Brothers, this prayer would give us enough material
11:58for a full day of retreat.
12:00Paul is a precious prayer from an apostle
12:06who is genuinely concerned with encouraging his community.
12:13In this sentence, then, we notice again
12:16that Paul's prayer is constant,
12:20But above all, it is the reason for his prayer
12:23the work of evangelization,
12:26although undertaken by him,
12:27She knows that only God can bring it to completion.
12:32He asks for the conversion of his listeners,
12:35that the conversion of those to whom he writes,
12:38may it be real and may we be strengthened by the Spirit
12:41may persevere.
12:43A truly tremendous, wonderful prayer,
12:49full of elements about which
12:51We would need to delve deeper,
12:53especially those of us who have been asked
12:56that we lead a community.
12:59We can imagine, my dear brothers,
13:01after this text,
13:04to a man lying prostrate on the ground,
13:06praying insistently.
13:10Then a man of prayer
13:11who understands that without her he can do nothing,
13:15Neither he, nor those whom he has evangelized.
13:19We need to prostrate ourselves more,
13:22to bring us down,
13:24supplicate.
13:26Our prayers have been made today
13:28so simple,
13:31so vain,
13:32only the repetition of texts
13:34that sometimes seemed to be taken
13:36from I don't know where,
13:38even the Lord's Prayer,
13:40without emotion,
13:41without knowing what we are saying,
13:43without addressing the Father,
13:44only sentences,
13:47because they lack depth and meaning.
13:51We need to recover
13:52And seeing these texts of Paul,
13:55We definitely cannot doubt
13:57that are in them
13:59a spirit that leads him
14:01to a deep prayer
14:04and particular
14:05that unites him completely with God.
14:09It requires particular attention
14:11Paul's text
14:12in his letter to the Ephesians
14:13that I have prayed so many times
14:16before starting a course
14:17to ask the Lord
14:19that the community
14:19can open your heart
14:21and the Holy Spirit
14:23I will inform them in front of everyone
14:24the experience of God
14:26to which it alludes
14:28the apostle in this text.
14:30Let's go to Ephesians chapter 3
14:33in verse 18-19.
14:36I'm going to take verse 14
14:38nothing more to introduce
14:39the reference.
14:40He says, so I bend my knees
14:43before the Father.
14:44From there again
14:46we see the posture
14:47which is important
14:49for the apostle.
14:50In other words, I bend my knees
14:52before the Father.
14:53He gets down on his knees
14:54to pray
14:55and I'm going to skip
14:57the following verses
14:59to go directly
15:00to verses 18 and 19
15:03which is the one I would like
15:05to discuss with you.
15:07He says, so that they will be able
15:09to understand
15:09with all the saints
15:11What is the width?
15:13the length,
15:15the height
15:15and the depth
15:17and to know
15:18the love of Christ
15:19that exceeds
15:21knowledge
15:22so that they are full
15:24up to the measure
15:25of all fullness
15:27of God our Lord.
15:29When Paul speaks here
15:32to know love
15:34of Christ
15:34He's talking
15:36of a knowledge
15:37internal,
15:38mystical
15:38that only the Spirit
15:40can find out
15:41And we ask ourselves
15:43How can he talk?
15:45from this
15:46What if I didn't know him?
15:48Obviously
15:48who knows him.
15:50Certainly
15:51that everything that
15:52It is written
15:53in his letters
15:55has already been
15:56an experience
15:57in it,
15:58experience
15:59that necessarily
16:00has happened
16:01as a product
16:02of his continuous
16:03relationship
16:03with God
16:04in prayer.
16:05Right from the start
16:07as we were saying
16:08right now,
16:09I get on my knees
16:10before the Father
16:11and gold
16:13for you,
16:14gold for you
16:15may have
16:16This experience,
16:17so that they can
16:18know
16:19love
16:20of God.
16:21How many of us
16:23we do this
16:24in our prayers?
16:25We took this text
16:26only as a text
16:28excellent,
16:29It was said at one time,
16:30Saint Paul said it,
16:32but not,
16:32the word of God
16:33It is lively and effective.
16:35The word of God
16:36It's for us.
16:37The word of God
16:38It's for us
16:40Let's take it
16:41and let's make it our own.
16:42In such a way
16:43that we owe,
16:44above all
16:45If we are leaders,
16:47We must pray
16:48for them.
16:50If you are a parent
16:51of family,
16:52You are a leader
16:52community
16:53and you should
16:54to pray
16:55so that your children
16:56can arrive
16:57to have this knowledge
16:58of God's love,
16:59this knowledge
17:00intimate and profound,
17:02because this is
17:03precisely
17:04the one who is going to be
17:05of them
17:05great men
17:07and great Christians.
17:09We need to get started
17:10on their knees
17:11and pray to the Father,
17:12pray that they may
17:13have
17:14knowledge
17:15internal
17:16of God,
17:17as I was saying
17:18Saint Ignatius of Loyola,
17:19know
17:20and like
17:21internally
17:22to the Lord.
17:23And this
17:24You have to ask him for it.
17:26You have to ask him for it.
17:27unceasingly,
17:28As the apostle Paul says,
17:30I bend my knees
17:31before the Father
17:32from whom it takes its name
17:33whole family
17:34in the sky
17:35and on earth,
17:36so that by virtue
17:37of its glorious wealth
17:38grant them
17:39inner strength,
17:41etc
17:41This prayer
17:42in all
17:43my Bibles
17:44They are marked,
17:46commented.
17:47It's something
17:48that I'm looking for
17:49do continuously
17:50because
17:51from there
17:52proceeds
17:53holiness,
17:55spiritual life
17:56that I hope
17:57from my community
17:58and that God
18:00expect precisely
18:01her,
18:02But it won't be
18:02possible if we
18:04we do not intervene
18:05for our families
18:06and we do not intervene
18:07also
18:08for our
18:09community.
18:10Another element
18:12that arises
18:14of the letters
18:15of the apostle Paul
18:16It is reciprocity
18:18in prayer.
18:19This makes sense.
18:20if we understand
18:21that when we pray
18:22we went in
18:23in one dimension
18:24spiritual
18:24mysterious
18:25that not only
18:26tells us
18:27with God
18:28but
18:28with everyone
18:30those who are
18:30in God
18:31in a way
18:32that when we pray
18:33by
18:34and with the people
18:35who prays
18:36we are entering
18:37in a communion
18:38of spirits
18:39through prayer.
18:40That's why
18:41the apostle
18:42always
18:42He asks them
18:43to the communities
18:44how can we
18:45see
18:46in the letter
18:47to the Thessalonians
18:48in the letter
18:49to the Colossians
18:49and in so many more.
18:51The invisible bond
18:53established
18:53through prayer
18:54between him
18:55and the communities
18:56must create
18:57a current
18:58in both senses
19:00in a way
19:01that the prayer
19:01of intercession
19:02it enables us
19:04this communion
19:05spiritual
19:06that reaches us
19:08special thanks
19:10This is fundamentally
19:12the prayer
19:12of the church
19:13And this is something
19:14that spirituality
19:16from Paul
19:16emphasizes in all
19:17his letters
19:18where each
19:19community
19:20ask for special thanks
19:22for him
19:22and for them
19:23how much do we owe
19:25we learn
19:26that we have
19:27responsibility
19:28about the communities
19:29the importance
19:31of this reciprocity
19:33in the prayer
19:34but
19:34how are they going to pray
19:36if nobody
19:37has taught them
19:38if hardly
19:39They see us
19:40pray
19:41if actually
19:42the leaders
19:43of the church
19:43We are not
19:44men and women
19:45prayer
19:46how can we
19:48ask the community
19:49that he pray
19:50and even more
19:51how can we
19:52ask
19:53to the community
19:54that he pray
19:55for us
19:56that there is that
19:57exchange
19:58Thank you
20:00I'd like
20:01review with you
20:02this text
20:03from the first letter
20:04to the Thessalonians
20:05always be cheerful
20:08pray
20:09constantly
20:10Give thanks
20:12bye
20:13throughout
20:13Well, this is what
20:15God desires in Christ
20:15Jesus
20:16of all of you
20:18pray
20:19continuously
20:21I mean
20:22the apostle
20:23insists
20:25to their communities
20:26that they pray
20:27that they pray
20:28so that they may be
20:29clothed in grace
20:30power
20:30with joy
20:31peace
20:32but also
20:33pray
20:34for them
20:35in the letter
20:35to the Romans
20:36For example
20:36says
20:37and pray
20:38so that I
20:38I can go see them
20:39I mean
20:40when the apostle
20:41writes
20:41has not gone
20:42still
20:43scent
20:44and asks them
20:45pray
20:45so that God
20:46open the paths
20:47and I can go
20:49to see them
20:49so
20:50we see
20:50this reciprocity
20:52in the prayer
20:53Paul prays
20:54through their communities
20:55their communities
20:56pray
20:57by him
20:58on the other hand
21:00the prayer
21:01transcends
21:01the horizon
21:02of the churches
21:03I mean
21:04the churches
21:05go
21:06I mean
21:07It's something
21:09where
21:10We all prayed
21:11by all
21:12We pray for the Pope
21:13We pray for the bishops
21:14We pray for the people
21:16that is having problems
21:17of persecution
21:18in Syria
21:18and elsewhere
21:19there is a communion
21:21of spirits
21:22in the prayer
21:23another important element
21:24in spirituality
21:26Paulina
21:26is the one it refers to
21:28to prayer
21:29but in the sense
21:30that this prayer
21:32transcends
21:33to the church
21:33we can see
21:35as in Romans
21:3610.1
21:37He asks that everyone
21:38the Jews
21:39be saved
21:40nevertheless
21:41which are
21:42his pursuers
21:44on the other hand
21:46in First Timothy
21:482.1
21:49as you're seeing it
21:50right now on your screen
21:51invites people to pray
21:53by all men
21:54particularly
21:55by the rulers
21:57and those who have
21:58in your hands
21:59the power to govern
22:00regardless
22:01that these be
22:02pagan people
22:03that is to say
22:04on the one hand
22:05we see that prayer is being offered
22:06by the persecutors
22:08as Jesus already did
22:09I hadn't said it
22:10and on the other hand
22:12He is asked to pray
22:13by the rulers
22:14although they
22:15do not be Christians
22:16that is to say
22:17the prayer
22:18transcends
22:19to the church
22:20not only
22:20He asks them to pray
22:21by him
22:22not only
22:23that they pray
22:23because of the needs
22:24of the church
22:24but pray
22:26also
22:26by the persecutors
22:28through this town
22:29that has to be saved
22:31by the brothers
22:33which are
22:34rulers
22:36which can be
22:37well completely
22:38other people
22:38to our faith
22:40to our religion
22:41we see then
22:42to a focused man
22:43who knows
22:44that God
22:45construction site
22:46everything in everything
22:47and that without him
22:49There's nothing we can do.
22:51that the prayer
22:52is effective
22:53and that God
22:54through
22:55of his prayer
22:56and all of them
22:56the communities
22:57will achieve
22:58major advances
22:59in the conversion
23:00of people
23:01as well as a coexistence
23:03more peaceful
23:04and loving
23:05if we
23:06we ask for our
23:07rulers
23:08siblings
23:08continuously
23:09surely
23:10that there will be
23:11much better
23:12rulers
23:13I am convinced
23:14that we don't have
23:15sometimes
23:15in our
23:18Latin Church
23:19we don't have
23:20good rulers
23:21because it's missing
23:22prayer
23:23for them
23:24We do not pray
23:25enough
23:26Well
23:26in fact
23:27the Christian
23:28Today we can say
23:29who does not pray
23:30or very little
23:32dedicates very little
23:33time for prayer
23:34And if we don't pray
23:36by our rulers
23:37by those
23:38who guide us
23:39well
23:40the power
23:41selfishness
23:42pride
23:43envy
23:44they are closing
23:46as it says
23:46clearly
23:47the Lord
23:47the heart
23:48and people
23:49that even
23:50has left
23:50from the rows
23:51of a community
23:53Christian
23:53practicing
23:54praying
23:55little by little
23:56the power
23:57He dries them
23:58and end up being
23:59equally or more pagan
24:01than others
24:02that surround them
24:03I mean
24:04the importance
24:05of the prayer
24:05by the rulers
24:06It is extremely important
24:08Saint Paul
24:11in his prayer
24:12echoes
24:14to the invitation
24:14of Christ
24:15to pray
24:16by the enemies
24:17and to do it
24:18always
24:19at all times
24:20another topic
24:23important
24:24in San Pablo
24:25that's the topic
24:27of the prayer
24:29which it must be
24:30persevering
24:32This has been
24:34as I already mentioned
24:35a little bit of this
24:36and as usual
24:37to say in Mexico
24:38the coconut
24:39that is to say
24:40the part
24:41more complicated
24:42of all history
24:44of the church
24:45the people
24:46of God
24:47no prays
24:48no prays
24:50enough
24:51no prays
24:52with intensity
24:53no prays
24:54in depth
24:55and this
24:56is the root
24:57as I understand it
24:59of all evils
25:01in our community
25:02and in our church
25:03people
25:05begin
25:06Yeah
25:06He's going on a retreat.
25:07begins his initiation
25:09Christian
25:10But they are few.
25:11those who continue
25:12begin
25:14the truth
25:15That doesn't worry him.
25:17to our enemy
25:18the demon
25:19He is worried
25:21to a person
25:21when the Christian
25:23It has been decided
25:24to persevere
25:25in the prayer
25:25when
25:27nevertheless
25:28laziness
25:29and all the obstacles
25:30that I can put
25:32the enemy
25:33It's decided
25:34to persevere
25:36the apostle
25:37the apostle knows
25:38that the great obstacle
25:40what will stop
25:41walking
25:42of a Christian
25:44It will always be
25:45the prayer
25:47negligence
25:49and laziness
25:50I mean
25:51These are
25:52the elements
25:53that hinder
25:54growth
25:55because they obstruct
25:56the prayer
25:57and if the prayer
25:58it is obstructed
25:59and it stops
25:59it stops
26:00the life of a Christian
26:02And that's why
26:03urges us
26:04continuously
26:05to persevere
26:07in the prayer
26:08It would suffice to see
26:09the letter
26:10to the Colossians
26:114.2
26:12persevere
26:13in the prayer
26:13First Thessalonians
26:155.17
26:16pray continually
26:18I mean
26:19There is a persistence
26:21continues
26:21of the apostle
26:22because he knows
26:23that this is fundamental
26:24in order to grow
26:25in the spirit
26:26The same thing happens
26:28in San Pablo
26:29the life of a Christian
26:31It must be
26:32a life of prayer
26:34and so
26:35take advantage
26:36the night
26:37to give thanks
26:38as presented
26:39in Colossians
26:40to intercede
26:42by the brothers
26:43as presented
26:44in Ephesians
26:45what time
26:46Let us pray
26:47siblings
26:47People always
26:48He says there's no time.
26:49Of course there's no time
26:51time
26:52It needs to be manufactured
26:53we need to remove
26:54things
26:55entertainment
26:57rest
26:58in order to be able to pray
26:59if we don't do this
27:02we will never have
27:03a life of prayer
27:04however
27:05we must be
27:06always vigilant
27:08so that this perseverance
27:09do not become
27:11in a routine
27:12that would fall
27:13under the warning
27:14of Jesus
27:14to become
27:16only
27:16say our prayer
27:18only
27:19in a monologue
27:20a monologue
27:21meaningless
27:22believing
27:23as he says
27:24in Matthew 6
27:25because of talking too much
27:26We will be heard
27:28persevere
27:30but from the heart
27:32from the heart
27:34siblings
27:35the prayer
27:37It's a fight
27:39It's a struggle
27:40how would he tell us?
27:41in Apostle
27:41in his letter
27:43to the Romans
27:43where he tells us
27:45of the need
27:46to strive
27:48the devil knows
27:50that this is the point
27:51neuralgic
27:52of the spiritual life
27:53and that without it
27:54progress is impossible
27:56on the Christian path
27:57Therefore
27:58seeks
27:59all media
28:00that finds
28:01within your reach
28:02to separate us
28:04of the prayer
28:05attentive
28:06There are people
28:08that begins
28:08very good
28:09his Christian path
28:10but that
28:12collapses
28:13when
28:14stop praying
28:16some of them
28:17for this exercise
28:18of the prayer
28:19They are, for example
28:20purity
28:21of disposition
28:23in which
28:24must be excluded
28:25all unhealthy
28:27intention
28:27as mentioned
28:29in his letter
28:30to Timothy
28:30we can see the text
28:32in 1 Timothy
28:342.8
28:35says the apostle
28:36men
28:37pray
28:38everywhere
28:39raising
28:40skyward
28:41some hands
28:42pious
28:42without anger
28:44no arguments
28:45we see
28:47a purity
28:48in the prayer
28:50hands
28:52clean
28:52and the heart
28:53pure
28:53up
28:54towards the Lord
28:55another element
28:56fundamental
28:57always present
28:58in spirituality
28:59of Saint Paul
29:00It's obviously
29:01joy
29:02their testimony
29:03It's the letter
29:04to the Philippians
29:05a letter
29:05truly
29:06awesome
29:08beautiful
29:09I think that's largely true.
29:10for the great
29:11love that I had
29:13the apostle
29:13to this community
29:14in it
29:15in the chapter
29:16first
29:17verse 4
29:18says the apostle
29:20always praying
29:21in all my prayers
29:23with joy
29:24I mean
29:24whenever he prays
29:25Well, that's not true.
29:26There are times when he prays
29:27sadly
29:28has prayed
29:30because he has seen
29:31to the community
29:31that
29:33gives off
29:34of life
29:37Christian
29:37but with
29:38Philippians
29:39if they remember
29:39when we talk
29:40from the letter
29:40to the Philippians
29:41the context
29:42from the letter
29:43to the Philippians
29:44it's not
29:45like that of the Galatians
29:46TRUE
29:46or in the letter
29:48to the Corinthians
29:48where several times
29:49what does he say
29:50or I'll have to go
29:51with you
29:51with a stick
29:53the letter
29:54to the Philippians
29:55It has a context
29:55different
29:56It is a community
29:57that he loves
29:58a lot
29:58a community
29:59that has helped him
30:00even
30:01economically
30:02It is a community
30:04truly
30:05very important
30:06for the apostle
30:06as I believe that
30:07They all were
30:08but in this
30:09perhaps unlike
30:11from other sentences
30:11that we might find
30:13in the letters
30:14already mentioned
30:14because it stands out here
30:16the topic
30:16of joy
30:18This is derived from
30:19the prayer
30:20of praise
30:21this prayer
30:23is always cheerful
30:24and seeks to weigh
30:25all the wonders
30:26of God
30:26in itself
30:27and its action
30:28in us
30:29in this sense
30:30we could say
30:32that spirituality
30:33Paulina
30:33it is distinguished
30:34because it is a prayer
30:35Hallelujah
30:37because it's always there
30:38praising God
30:39and giving thanks
30:40for everything received
30:42the prayer
30:43Hallelujah
30:44It is a sentence
30:45where it is weighed
30:46bye
30:47so it is
30:48for the good
30:48for the holy
30:49because of its beauty
30:50It is the prayer
30:51from someone
30:53that finds
30:55in God
30:56the most beautiful
30:57the most beautiful
30:58the most perfect
30:59obviously
31:00which is what
31:02where it starts
31:04this prayer
31:05We need to have it now
31:08a deep understanding
31:11That's why today
31:12in the church
31:13Well, we have
31:14little prayer
31:15Hallelujah
31:16and the one we have
31:17which would then
31:18a sentence
31:20that truly
31:21It would have to be done
31:21with a different spirit
31:22For example
31:23as we sing
31:24Hallelujah
31:25at mass
31:26or as we sing
31:27the song
31:28of glory
31:28at mass
31:29or as we sing
31:31the song
31:31of the saint
31:33at mass
31:34sometimes
31:34They sound like songs
31:36funerals
31:36far from expressing
31:39joy
31:40of the Christian
31:40Holy are you
31:43Sir
31:43god of the universe
31:44but
31:45you have to
31:46grasp
31:47in your heart
31:48what does it mean
31:49that God
31:50be the god
31:50of the universe
31:51Glory to God
31:53in the sky
31:54and on earth
31:54Peace to men
31:55of goodwill
31:56we praise you
31:57We bless you
31:58We adore you
31:59We glorify you
32:00Thank you
32:01Sir
32:02God, King of Heaven
32:03How different!
32:05to prayer
32:06prayed
32:07where only
32:08Glory to God
32:10in the sky
32:10and on earth
32:11Peace to men
32:12of goodwill
32:13we praise you
32:14We bless you
32:15We adore you
32:16imagine
32:18someone who could sing
32:19a song
32:20that perhaps
32:21we sing
32:22many of us
32:23of our songs
32:23Mexicans
32:24the song of the dove
32:26the one with the cucurru cuckoo
32:27pigeon
32:27TRUE?
32:28Imagine singing
32:29one of our
32:30charros
32:30that song
32:32cucurru cucú
32:33cucurru cucú
32:35cucurru cucú
32:36pigeon
32:37cucurru sang
32:38I mean
32:40Who would be interested?
32:41That song?
32:43No
32:43when the charro
32:44sings
32:45cucurru cucú
32:46pigeon
32:47Oh Carlitos
32:49I mean
32:50really
32:51is putting
32:53the feeling
32:54imagine
32:57a lover
32:58singing to him
32:59to his girlfriend
33:00to his sweetheart
33:02songs
33:03simply
33:04recitations
33:05without any
33:05feeling
33:06No
33:07I wouldn't know
33:09I would have no love
33:10the prayer
33:12Hallelujah
33:13born of love
33:15to know
33:17love
33:17of God
33:18And that's why
33:19all that
33:20talk later
33:20in our class
33:22former
33:22about the Holy Spirit
33:23precedes the prayer
33:24if the Holy Spirit
33:26It is not operating
33:27in life
33:28of the Christian
33:29hardly
33:30we will be able to
33:31praise God
33:32our praise
33:33that simply remains
33:34like a prayer
33:35how little
33:36or nothing
33:37indicates
33:38that nothing
33:39or little
33:39communicates
33:40that
33:41whom we
33:42today we are
33:43directing
33:44the prayer
33:46Hallelujah
33:46born
33:47of love
33:48bye
33:48and this
33:49proceeds
33:50always
33:51of the action
33:51of the Spirit
33:52and here
33:53there is a circle
33:56vicious
33:56that we have to
33:57convert it
33:58in a circle
33:58virtuous
33:59We do not pray
34:00Less Spirit
34:02Less Spirit
34:04Less prayer
34:05and so
34:06until we met
34:07dry
34:08completely
34:09dead
34:10while
34:11when it's the other way around
34:12descends
34:13the Spirit descends
34:14to my heart
34:14me too
34:15with that strength
34:16I begin to pray
34:17and so?
34:18makes the Spirit
34:19strengthen
34:20and so
34:21we are making progress
34:22and then our prayer
34:23It's gradually taking over
34:25a feature
34:26a lot more
34:27Hallelujah
34:27much more pleasant
34:29obviously
34:30to our Lord
34:31good
34:33another element
34:34which I think
34:35important to highlight
34:36is that the prayer
34:37from Paul
34:38It is a sentence
34:39charismatic
34:40in which
34:41includes
34:42the gift of tongues
34:43By this he means
34:45to a gift from God
34:46that is accessible
34:48only those
34:49that in a species
34:50of ecstasy
34:51they feel
34:52flooded
34:53through the Spirit
34:54in a way
34:55special
34:56I am convinced
34:58about what
34:59this phenomenon
35:00It gives us the background
35:01of what Paul says
35:02in Romans 8
35:03about prayer
35:04Let's look at this text
35:06verse 26
35:08of this chapter 8
35:10says
35:10the same way
35:12the Spirit
35:13It also comes
35:14in help
35:15of our weakness
35:16because we
35:17we don't know how to ask
35:18as appropriate
35:19and the Spirit itself
35:21intercede for us
35:23with moans
35:24indescribable
35:26wailing
35:27indescribable
35:28gift of tongues
35:30a way of praying
35:31unintelligible
35:33a way of praying
35:34where
35:35the Spirit
35:37now
35:37inside
35:37of the person
35:38Pablo
35:40dedica
35:41It's so important
35:42or was it that important
35:43in the first
35:44communities
35:44this phenomenon
35:45charismatic
35:46that dedicates
35:48a space
35:49important
35:50in its first
35:51letter to the Corinthians
35:52in the chapters
35:5312
35:54until the 14th
35:56where it speaks
35:57of the charisms
35:58this 12th
36:00it is presented
36:01under two forms
36:02it is presented
36:04like the
36:04glossolalia
36:05where
36:06only the Spirit
36:07understands
36:07what is said
36:08but it can be expressed
36:11also as the
36:12xenoglossia
36:14where
36:15the person
36:19speaks a language
36:21than the others
36:22they know
36:24I mean
36:24can speak
36:25language
36:26of the others
36:27as happens
36:29in fact
36:30of the apostles
36:32Let's read this text
36:33It says in verse 5
36:35They resided in Jerusalem
36:36pious men
36:37come from all
36:38the nations
36:39that is under heaven
36:40when it occurs
36:41that noise
36:42people
36:42gathered
36:43and it was filled
36:44of astonishment
36:45because each one
36:46I heard them talking
36:47in their own language
36:48astonished
36:50and admired
36:50they said
36:51perhaps
36:52These are not them
36:52Galileans
36:53all these
36:54that they are talking
36:54well, like
36:56each
36:56of us
36:57We heard them
36:58in our own
36:58native language
37:00This is known
37:01like the gift
37:02of languages
37:03but in his expression
37:04of xenoglossia
37:06that is to say
37:07I speak
37:08a language
37:08that I don't know
37:10and with which
37:11I can evangelize
37:12to people
37:14the other
37:15is called
37:15glossolalia
37:16what is
37:17a way
37:19of expression
37:19of the spirit
37:20that only
37:21It builds me up.
37:22me
37:23so
37:25was
37:25frequently
37:26in the first
37:27communities
37:27hence
37:28has to put
37:29an alert
37:29to the Corinthians
37:30if you don't have it
37:31as the element
37:32central part of the sentence
37:33and of his spiritual life
37:35however
37:36we noticed
37:37as in chapter
37:3814
37:39Well, speak.
37:40of this xenoglossia
37:41and considers it
37:43as a way
37:44prayer
37:45very spiritual
37:46Let's see
37:471 Corinthians
37:48Chapter 14
37:50therefore
37:51if anyone
37:52speaks in tongues
37:53that asks for the gift
37:54of interpreting them
37:55because if I pray
37:57in languages
37:58my spirit prays
37:59but my mind
38:00It remains fruitless.
38:01so
38:02to do
38:03I will pray
38:04with the spirit
38:05But I will pray
38:06also
38:07with the mind
38:08so
38:08really
38:10It's something
38:11that
38:12it's good
38:14and it's useful
38:15and Paul
38:16says he speaks
38:17even that he speaks
38:18more than all
38:19the others
38:20but it has to be
38:21also useful
38:22to the others
38:23when used
38:24this expression
38:27of the spirit
38:27within a
38:29community
38:29so
38:31certainly
38:32is considered
38:33as a way
38:34prayer
38:34for the spirit
38:36now
38:36although the mind
38:37be eliminated
38:39as he comments
38:40also in Roman
38:418 26
38:42where it gives us
38:43the reason
38:44why
38:45need
38:45that the spirit
38:46pray for us
38:47This text says
38:49of Saint Paul
38:50in his letter
38:51to the Romans
38:51we are weak
38:53but the spirit
38:55comes to our aid
38:56we don't know
38:57what suits us
38:58ask
38:59but the spirit
39:00intercedes
39:01for us
39:02with moans
39:03inexpressible
39:04as we were saying
39:04It's been a moment
39:06and well
39:06Well, it's settled now.
39:07clear
39:08the intervention
39:09of the spirit
39:09in the prayer
39:10So
39:11having this
39:12as a backdrop
39:13we can now
39:14go in depth
39:15and talk about intimacy
39:17of God
39:17with the man
39:18action
39:19that is done
39:20particularly
39:21in our prayer
39:22on this topic
39:24we must recognize
39:25that we pray
39:25because the spirit
39:27pray in us
39:27and it is from
39:29this internalization
39:30of the spirit
39:31as we saw it
39:32right now
39:32in the text
39:33of Romans 8
39:34that we
39:35we can talk
39:36of intimacy
39:37of God
39:38in our heart
39:40because God
39:41or directly
39:42in us
39:43the text says
39:45and that one
39:46that scrutinizes
39:47the hearts
39:48knows which one
39:50the feeling
39:51of the spirit
39:51because he intercedes
39:53for the saints
39:54according
39:55at will
39:56of God
39:57God
39:59in his spirit
40:00that penetrates us
40:02he's coming in
40:04in our
40:05depth
40:06God
40:07through his spirit
40:08meet
40:09and penetrates
40:10the deepest
40:11of us
40:12and knows
40:12which is good
40:13for us
40:14now then
40:16as it says
40:17Kuhlman
40:17it is necessary
40:19to realize
40:21of the meaning
40:22that has
40:23the verb
40:23know
40:24in Pablo
40:25for him
40:27and as we have already
40:28mentioned many times
40:29to know in the Bible
40:30It is not knowledge
40:32philosophical
40:33It's not about knowing
40:35of an object
40:36with some distance
40:38that is to say
40:38eliminating
40:39all affectivity
40:40but on the contrary
40:42is to enter
40:43in relation
40:44with the
40:45implies
40:46on the one hand
40:47the act
40:48of the will
40:49That may be the case
40:51a synonym
40:52to love
40:52to approach
40:54to join
40:54to someone
40:55according to Pablo
40:56God
40:57has met
40:59beforehand
40:59to his people
41:00we can say
41:02that God
41:03has loved
41:04to his people
41:05the Lord
41:06know your own
41:08It says in second
41:09Timothy's
41:10Chapter 2
41:11verse 19
41:12the result
41:14of the fact
41:15that god
41:16has met us
41:17the thing is
41:18We know him
41:20and that we love him
41:21prayer
41:23and knowledge
41:24in the sense
41:26Pauline
41:26They are very close
41:28are identified
41:30the one
41:30with the other
41:31both
41:32have their origin
41:33in the initiative
41:34of God
41:34that enters
41:35in communion
41:36with us
41:36God
41:38He knows me
41:39intimately
41:40deeply
41:41and wants
41:42that I
41:43I know him
41:43deeply
41:45intimately
41:46this relationship
41:48of privacy
41:49that's what
41:49produces
41:50in us
41:51contemplation
41:52So
41:53the prayer
41:54it becomes
41:55in private
41:56of God
41:57with us
41:57and of us
41:59with God
41:59in the letter
42:01to the Galatians
42:02a beautiful passage
42:03that we found
42:04there
42:04It's in the chapter
42:054
42:06in verse 9
42:07in this passage
42:08we read
42:09now that they have
42:10known to God
42:11or better
42:12that he
42:13has met them
42:14again
42:15the topic
42:16know
42:17God knows us
42:18We know him
42:19we can see
42:22in this text
42:23as already
42:24We've said it.
42:25previously
42:26we can translate
42:27and say
42:28now that they have loved
42:29bye
42:30or rather
42:31that he
42:32has loved us
42:33there is one
42:34integration
42:36of love
42:36and this
42:38We can understand it
42:39well, all of us
42:40in our relationships
42:41personal
42:42to know and to love
42:43have
42:44a relationship
42:47inseparable
42:48I cannot love
42:50Saint Augustine said
42:51what I don't know
42:52and I cannot know
42:53but for love
42:54in private
42:56what truly
42:57It is important
42:58this knowledge
42:59love
43:00It is a work
43:01of the spirit
43:02coming
43:02of our help
43:03to enter
43:04in communion
43:05perfect
43:05and loving
43:06with God
43:06and therefore
43:08the apostle
43:09The chapter ends
43:108
43:10of Romans
43:11with this text
43:15marvelous
43:17Romans
43:188
43:1838
43:1939
43:20says the apostle
43:22because I am convinced
43:24that not even death
43:25nor life
43:27not even the angels
43:28nor principalities
43:30nor present it
43:31nor what is to come
43:33nor the powers
43:35nor the height
43:35nor the deep
43:37nor anything
43:39created
43:40may separate us
43:41of God's love
43:43which is in Christ
43:44Jesus
43:44our lord
43:45so
43:47This tells us
43:48of a hug
43:49deep
43:50and warm
43:51of God
43:51with the man
43:52that melts
43:54in love
43:55love
43:56and hug
43:57that nothing
43:59nor anyone
43:59will be able to
44:00never
44:01separate
44:02can
44:04now
44:05conclude
44:06our topic
44:07and see
44:09what place
44:10occupies
44:11in life
44:12of the apostle
44:13the practice
44:14of the prayer
44:15we have nothing left
44:17the slightest doubt
44:18that the prayer
44:19in San Pablo
44:20as it should be
44:22for us
44:22occupies
44:23the center
44:24of his life
44:25and the center
44:26attention
44:26for all
44:27their communities
44:28we see in Paul
44:30as it says
44:31Kuhlman
44:31that the prayer
44:32It's on one hand
44:33a human action
44:35we could say
44:36an art
44:37but at the same time
44:39It's a gift
44:40and a divine action
44:41without which
44:42It's impossible to get there
44:43to privacy
44:44with God
44:45privacy
44:46which is the one that
44:47finally
44:47will transform
44:48to the man
44:49and will convert it
44:51in a
44:51authentic
44:53son of god
44:54and well
44:55I want to conclude
44:56this topic
44:57in a few words
44:58that I liked
44:59a lot
44:59by Oscar Kuhlman
45:00in his article
45:02because I believe that
45:04gives us a clear
45:04reference
45:05a good conclusion
45:07for what we have
45:08come trying
45:08Oscar Kuhlman says
45:10we must open up
45:11to the Holy Spirit
45:13when we pray
45:13is the condition
45:15to be heard
45:16if in the sentence
45:18the Holy Spirit
45:19He's the one who speaks.
45:20us
45:21we will do
45:23in it
45:23the experience
45:24of God's love
45:25he takes
45:28the initiative
45:29to join
45:29us
45:30even
45:30in the middle
45:31of anguish
45:32well Pablo
45:34has made us
45:35participants
45:36of the answer
45:37that he has received
45:38to his prayer
45:40my grace
45:41that's enough for you
45:42that my strength
45:43it shows
45:44perfect
45:45in weakness
45:46And so we left
45:47this
45:48tremendous topic
45:49of the prayer
45:50fundamental
45:50if truly
45:51we want
45:52as Oscar Kuhlman says
45:53become
45:54authentic
45:55children of god
45:57if truly
45:58we want to become
45:59authentic
46:00children of god
