¿Has perdido el rumbo en tu vida? ¡Descubre el verdadero sentido y la orientación que necesitas! Este taller de oración, inspirado por el Padre Ernesto María Caro, te guiará para establecer una comunicación profunda y personal con Dios.

En un mundo cada vez más autosuficiente y hedonista, hemos olvidado la importancia de comunicar nuestras ideas y sentimientos.

Imagina el desarrollo del lenguaje en un niño, desde los primeros balbuceos hasta frases completas. De manera similar, tu vida de oración puede madurar, pasando de una comunicación infantil a una relación adulta con Dios. La capacidad de comunicarte está en ti, pero requiere ejercicio y práctica diaria.

Este taller te proporcionará las herramientas y ejercicios necesarios para alimentar tu alma y nutrir tu conexión divina.

No te conformes con la inmediatez; construye una relación duradera con Dios, como la que se desarrolla en el noviazgo, profundizando en cada conversación y vivencia.

No se trata solo de asistir a una clase, sino de hacer tuyas las enseñanzas y aplicarlas a tu vida. La práctica constante de la oración transformará tu camino y te permitirá experimentar las grandiosas bendiciones de esta relación. ¡Empieza hoy a ejercitar tu músculo espiritual y redescubre el propósito de tu existencia!

00:00Hello, welcome to the prayer workshop designed by Father Ernesto Maria Caro.
00:07This workshop aims to teach you how to pray, and in it we will look at different types of prayer.
00:15which will be shared by myself and other brothers.
00:19We will share the how with you, just as our pastor, Father, shared it with us at the time.
00:28Expensive.
00:29But continuing to practice will depend on you.
00:34The topic we will see today is entitled, The meaning and orientation of man's life.
00:41Father Caro chose this first topic to start the workshop because he realizes that nowadays
00:49We live in a profane world,
00:52self-sufficient, desacralized and hedonistic, where the sense of communication has been lost,
00:59We talk and talk, but we don't communicate.
01:02The biggest problem is precisely that: we don't know how to communicate, and often we don't.
01:13correctly.
01:14We don't know how to communicate ideas or feelings, and this leads to isolation.
01:21For example, in a marriage, a lack of communication has truly serious consequences.
01:29Now, if we apply this to our relationship with God, well, it's not going to prosper.
01:37We don't understand that praying is communicating with God.
01:42It is about establishing a relationship that opens us up to the Lord or towards the Lord.
01:49We are used to praying, which, while not wrong, you shouldn't and we shouldn't stop at that first step.
01:59but to add to this, communicating in a personal way with God and maturing our way of praying.
02:09Think of the example of a child who starts to talk, and I remember this very well when my children started.
02:16to speak.
02:17First it was either "ma" or "pa," and you, as a mom, would guess what he wanted, although sometimes you couldn't.
02:26Then they moved on to the ma eche, which was a two-syllable word.
02:32Ah, so I could understand that he wanted to drink milk, until the moment he said,
02:40Mom, I want milk or I want to eat.
02:43So children progress from babbling "ma" and other syllables to saying a complete sentence.
02:53And you breathe, because you understand them better and you know what they want.
03:00In terms of prayer, this means moving from the prayer of a child to the prayer of an adult.
03:07adult.
03:08Haven't you ever suddenly said, "I don't know how to communicate with God"?
03:15Brother, the ability is there, like a child's ability to speak, but it needs to be practiced.
03:25to mature it.
03:26God wants to communicate with you fully and personally.
03:31Do you want the same thing?
03:33That's probably true, so we need to exercise.
03:37Therefore, although this workshop is short, the idea is to give you tools and exercises that can help you practice and
03:49mature your personal prayer with God.
03:52Remember, you'll see how here.
03:55Practice depends on you.
03:58It has happened to me that I have learned, for example, some cooking recipes, but since I didn't practice them in
04:05Their time, because I've already forgotten them.
04:08Don't let the same thing happen to you with prayer, because prayer cannot be separated from life.
04:15Christian, because without prayer it is impossible to be a Christian.
04:21To be a Christian, you need the Holy Spirit to operate in your life and work continually in it.
04:30This cannot be achieved if you do not feed it properly through prayer.
04:37Simply put, prayer is food for the soul.
04:42This, then, is one way of explaining it, because prayer, brother, is a mystery.
04:48And when you pray, the Holy Spirit that dwells in you is fed, thus enabling that relationship with God.
04:58That communication where the Holy Spirit, in a mysterious way, acts and that relationship is produced.
05:08However, since this does not happen immediately, many give up without waiting to see the results of this.
05:17relationship and missing out on the great blessing that prayer brings.
05:24We are used to immediacy, to the microwave heating something up in 20 or 30 seconds.
05:32And definitely, in prayer, this doesn't work that way.
05:37For example, to get to marriage, we first meet a girl or a boy who catches our attention.
05:45That's how those of us who are married today started.
05:48That gives you the opportunity to start a relationship and begin to talk and communicate.
05:56First, very simple things, perhaps even superficial, such as where you study, what you do, what you like, etc.
06:05It's about entering into a casual relationship where you initially want her to give you her phone number, you start to
06:16send him messages.
06:17Then come the dates, they go for a drink, for dinner, and little by little you see that the dialogue
06:26and the relationship keeps growing.
06:29Suddenly, you don't realize that you've already spent an hour, an hour and a half in continuous dialogue.
06:37You need that dialogue more and more, to the point that you become boyfriend and girlfriend.
06:43Then, you begin to communicate feelings, the hug, the kiss.
06:50A much more perfect, much deeper communication begins, and it lasts over time.
06:59Thus, on a spiritual level, your relationship does not remain in the time of prayer, but now that relationship
07:07It is part of your life and continues in it.
07:12But definitely, this won't happen if you don't practice, if you don't communicate.
07:19To continue with the topic, take into account something important.
07:24What we are sharing is not a class.
07:27We are used to passing subjects, to going to listen to the teacher, to studying to pass,
07:35But few will truly learn.
07:41Learning means doing something, doing your own thing.
07:46The point is to take what you learn and put it into practice.
07:52In this workshop we will be sharing several exercises, but let me tell you, it's not magic.
08:00It's about starting little by little, like a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, so that the soul can get used to it.
08:10But I repeat, you have to practice every day.
08:14And this practice is nothing other than prayer.
08:18Remember that muscle grows as you exercise daily.
08:25Let it be clear, if you do not pray, you will not be a Christian, because being a Christian is taking on the identity of Christ.
08:34His being is added to our being.
08:36Of course, without losing our identity, but rather theirs becomes ingrained in yours.
08:44For example, I'm from Saltillo.
08:47When I got married, I went to live in Guadalajara and I didn't return to Saltillo for a long time.
08:55When I return, my family tells me, hey, you already talk like your husband, your mannerisms, your tone of voice, everything
09:04like him.
09:05Of course, the more you live together, that is, the more you interact, the more you pick up their way of speaking.
09:14As if you were merging with him.
09:16This is how it happens in prayer.
09:18You're going to resemble the person you associate with.
09:22That is, with God.
09:25But this transformation happens little by little.
09:29In the Bible we have the example of Saint Paul.
09:32Many people think that after their encounter with Christ in Damascus,
09:39He immediately goes to preach and writes the letters.
09:42However, if you read the Bible, you will see that St. Paul clarifies in his letter to the Galatians that it was not
09:48So.
09:49Once the conversion took place in Damascus, he went to Arabia for three years to be instructed and
09:57assimilate the experience.
09:59His transformation didn't happen overnight, it took three years.
10:06Nothing happens instantly.
10:08"It's not like chocolate milk," Father Caro keeps telling us.
10:12That chocolate powder you add to the milk, you beat it and that's it.
10:17This takes time.
10:19It requires dedication.
10:21You need to understand that this is something that has to happen every day.
10:37Returning to the example we've been mentioning about marriage,
10:42If you ultimately want to marry someone and you don't establish a relationship, then this union is going to fail.
10:50One of the reasons so many marriages fail is because a foundation was never established during courtship.
10:58the relationship.
11:00They would go out, they would talk, but there was no establishment of a relationship.
11:06They didn't know each other.
11:07Regarding this, Father Caro, who worked for 32 years in the ecclesiastical court, tells us,
11:15that various married couples came to him and the spouses very often said, I don't know him.
11:24They changed it on my honeymoon, and you know how it is in everyday life, brother, things come up that
11:33perhaps you hadn't seen it.
11:34And then on that honeymoon the wife realizes that she drinks too much every day.
11:42And there are other cases where they say, "Oh, Father, I married him because he always made me laugh."
11:50But now I see that he has a difficult character.
11:55These are some examples of why a relationship fails.
12:00So remember, in a relationship you always have to go deeper.
12:06With God it's different.
12:08In the case of prayer, perhaps you are the one who is in a bad mood, the one who brings that difficult and explosive temper.
12:17to draw closer to the Lord.
12:19But you know, He loves you.
12:21The advantage with Him is that the only one in doubt is you.
12:27You can arrive furious, angry and say, I don't want to talk to you.
12:32The Lord, this is just imagining it, right?
12:37He says, relax.
12:39He doesn't get angry, he doesn't get upset.
12:41But you might prefer to leave and then come back when you're feeling better.
12:47With the Lord, you can keep shouting for half an hour and nothing will happen.
12:53He still loves you and understands you.
12:55On that front, dialogue is already guaranteed, and the relationship is also guaranteed.
13:03Now it's your turn.
13:05The closer you get to Him, the more you will be transformed.
13:10We'll stay here until then.
13:12We will continue with our topic in the second part.
13:16I'll see you in a moment.
