00:15Well then, we continue brother, sister, with this series of our topics, our material from your family, my family, our family.
00:24In the previous section we saw the importance of family, its relevance, and how important it is.
00:33honor towards our parents.
00:35We saw that God does not forget all those little things that, in the end, turn out to be great displays of love.
00:44We returned to our parents.
00:48And well, let's continue. So, we agreed that we are now a new family.
00:54And with that comes becoming independent from the families where we were born.
00:58But this doesn't mean we won't see them anymore, and simply that we no longer depend on them.
01:05of them.
01:05We need to feel free to make our own decisions.
01:10Of course, with our parents' advice, but we're the ones making the decisions.
01:15In marriage, we must practice a lot of marital dialogue and good communication in order to achieve [the desired outcome].
01:26to give harmonious relationships.
01:29We're going to avoid any situation where we might have a misunderstanding with our in-laws, so that this doesn't become an obstacle.
01:37so that there may be harmony and happiness in our home.
01:40In other words, both families of origin are equally important.
01:45We can't say, my family is better and yours, ellipsis.
01:54I believe that here we need to avoid making some comparisons, to make distinctions between families.
02:03Rather, we should recognize and rescue the positive aspects, the qualities, the virtues that each family has.
02:11And to, above all, build a good relationship between us and our in-laws.
02:19We need to get along with our in-laws to truly create a warm, respectful environment where there is...
02:28love.
02:29Look, Laura was just talking about those small, big decisions that you, today boyfriends, tomorrow husbands, are starting to make.
02:39On this path is the altar. You are preparing right now for that great event, right?, which is arriving at the altar.
02:46It is also possible that they are preparing some kind of reception to share there with their friends and family.
02:54And you are already starting to make those decisions.
02:58Laura was just talking about the great value of families, right?
03:04Today, for example, you, sister, who are going to see your dress and the flowers for the
03:10church and all this topic that involves preparing for your marriage,
03:17Well, you listen to your mom's comments, you also listen to your mother-in-law's comments, because I'm sure that if
03:23You invite her and take her.
03:24So, you put all those comments together, why? So they can help you make the best decision.
03:34Likewise, I know you, brother, that you are preparing and perhaps working to make the savings that are needed.
03:43to carry out this marriage.
03:46And you also listen to your dad's advice, who's telling you, "Hey, son, do it this way, son, like this."
03:52another way.
03:53Similarly, when you go to visit your girlfriend, your father-in-law asks you, "Hey, how's it going?" "Well, we're getting there." "So what?"
04:00What are you doing? Well, I'm doing this.
04:02Hey, be careful with this, pay attention. Your father-in-law is also involved; he's also participating in those comments.
04:09And how do their comments help you? They help you form a good decision. A decision you must make in
04:18company and hand in hand with your girlfriend today.
04:22Remember that, tomorrow your wife.
04:25We cannot ignore that great lesson we learned about honoring our parents.
04:31And listening to them is a way of honoring them. It's a way of acknowledging the great importance they have.
04:39they have towards us.
04:41His parents and my parents.
04:44Yes? That's why we need to start uniting those families. We need to start working so that we can be
04:52a very solid family.
04:53And we see it as Saint Paul tells us in his letter to the Ephesians.
04:59Ephesians chapter 6, verses 2-3.
05:03Honor your father and your mother. This is the first commandment with a promise, namely,
05:09so that you may be happy and enjoy a long life on earth.
05:15Notice, he mentions again the honor, the importance of honoring our parents.
05:21And as I was saying just now, we are also showing that honor when we listen to them.
05:28The job of a father never ends.
05:31Dads are always present.
05:34Parents will always want what's best for each of us.
05:39They'll always be watching. Why?
05:42Because they want you to be happy.
05:44Because they want you to have a happy, loving, and stable marriage.
05:48That's why dads will always be present and involved.
05:53For example, nowadays.
05:54You might say, no, well, I'm going with my dad, because we both have a passion for
06:01a football team.
06:02Tigers or striped ones or whoever.
06:04And we share and we go and perhaps we have this habit or tradition of years past.
06:11And you'll continue to have it.
06:12You don't have to stop having it.
06:15And you, sister, for example, you say, no, well, I like going with my mom, um, well
06:22to HIV.
06:22Because we like to look for molds, because we like to make lots of oatmeal cookies.
06:28So, you have that habit of doing it with your mom and you're going to keep doing it.
06:33And in those activities, in that day-to-day life that we share with our parents, there we are listening to them.
06:40There we are listening to their way of thinking, their recommendation.
06:45Remember, this path that you are beginning to walk, is a path that our parents have already walked, they have already started it.
06:57Well, because they started it earlier, they already have experience, they already have expertise.
07:04And what is your wish?
07:06Share with us the experience they have.
07:10Share with us what they have learned, yes, from successes, but also from mistakes.
07:16And the comment that your dad is going to make to you, that your mom is going to make to you,
07:20It will always be with the aim of making things go well for you, in the best way possible.
07:27Because they will always want what's best for you, they will always want what's best for us.
07:31Now, what you are learning from them right now, tomorrow,
07:35You will share it and pass it on to the children God gives you.
07:40So, it's an experience, it's a learning process that we're going to keep building on.
07:46Because tomorrow we will be using it all the time.
07:54And so we see it, which is referenced in the book of Proverbs, with the quote from chapter 6, of
08:01verses 20 to 22.
08:04My son, keep your father's commandment and do not forsake your mother's teaching.
08:11Bind them continually on your heart, tie them around your neck.
08:15When you walk, it will call you.
08:17When you sleep, they will watch over you.
08:20And when you wake up, they will speak to you.
08:22Here, as Emilio was just saying, we should be very proud of our parents,
08:30When we remember all the countless situations we've experienced, right?
08:35Many, as we were saying earlier, joys, sorrows, but they have always been with us.
08:41because they have wanted to be part of our lives, to be our guides at all times.
08:49And, well, what can we do, I mean, how many things we have shared together, I mean, hobbies, preferences, tastes.
08:59I love talking to my mom; there has always been a lot of respect between us.
09:04Also, accompanying my dad, talking, and hearing their stories and anecdotes.
09:13And from there we too create stories that we too will later tell.
09:19So, I think we need to recognize and value the great effort our parents have made since we were
09:25guys,
09:26all the care they have given us, the education, the respect, all the values they have taught us.
09:33I always tell my children that I'm not very good with technology.
09:38And right now there are times like that, if I need something, oh mom, I already told you.
09:43I mean, suddenly they make a kind of long face or something and they seem desperate.
09:47I tell them, listen, no, remember how many times when you were little you asked me something and I had to answer you.
09:56Of course, now many times when I make a face at them, they make a face or something in a mocking way.
10:01And then I'll start giving you the sermon,
10:03They start saying to me, "Oh yes, Mom, right?" "Like you taught us," I tell them, "I taught you to speak, to..."
10:09walking, eating (because they kept dropping their food), getting dressed, everything, right?
10:14So, that's how we gradually realize it, but many times we don't realize it until we become parents.
10:21And truly value everything from the simplest things that may seem insignificant to the greatest things.
10:28So we need to be patient, like they were with us when we were little.
10:35And so we will see it in Proverbs chapter 17, verse 6.
10:41Grandchildren are a crown to the aged, and parents are the glory of their children.
10:51Perhaps our lives today, for many of us in the workplace, are already presenting us with a series of successes in the field
11:05professional,
11:06a series of successes, perhaps financial, and well, how nice, how nice that you are blessed in that way, right?
11:16But also this world of today that fills us with many activities and turns us into social activists
11:28Because we don't want to miss any social events, right?
11:32And it's not wrong for us to go to social events.
11:35The point is that we cannot afford, we cannot allow, that absorption of the world
11:47take away the time we should be spending with our parents,
11:53to the care we must take with them, to the attention we must give them.
11:58Laura was just saying, right? Like moms, well, from there we've learned so much, we've learned everything.
12:07To walk, to talk, to eat.
12:10So, she dedicated a lot of time so that we, children, babies, well, could get ahead
12:17at that moment when we were completely defenseless.
12:20Who took care of us? Our mom.
12:23And how much time, how many things, how many moments, how many situations did he dedicate to it?
12:29Mom gave up everything to have you, brother, to have you, sister.
12:38for taking care of you, for protecting you, for feeding you, for teaching you, for giving you all his love
12:44in each of those activities.
12:47So, for that reason, we cannot neglect that care and that gratitude.
12:54Remember, this is a very important premise.
12:59Love is repaid with love.
13:01Love is repaid with love.
13:04And we saw it in the first dates we saw.
13:07God does not forget the good we do for our parents.
13:12He doesn't forget it.
13:14He doesn't forget it, why?
13:16Because he has it in his heart.
13:17Why does she hold it in her heart?
13:19Because they are expressions of our love for our parents.
13:24How many examples of love do you have in your heart that you received from your father or your mother?
13:30Try to remember.
13:31I assure you that your heart is overflowing from those moments, from those situations.
13:37How many happy moments have you spent with your dad watching your team win the championship?
13:42Now that we've had streaks where the teams here are winning.
13:46Didn't you enjoy them with him?
13:49You didn't live together, you didn't share that joy.
13:54So, that's in your heart.
13:57Share that.
13:58And that's why I was saying, love is repaid with love.
14:03Let's see what Mark tells us, chapter 7, verses 9 to 13.
14:08He also told them, "You cleverly violate God's commandment in order to keep your tradition."
14:14For Moses said, honor your father and your mother, and whoever speaks evil of his father or
14:19of his mother, that she die.
14:20But you say, if a man says to his father or mother, anything of mine that could benefit you,
14:27It's Corban.
14:28In other words, an offering to God.
14:29You no longer allow him to do anything for his father or mother, thus invalidating the word of
14:35God through your tradition, which you have handed down.
14:39And you do many things like these.
14:42See? That's what we were just talking about.
14:44We cannot let these world situations absorb us.
14:47It's very important to keep an eye on that.
14:50Yeah?
14:51Of the honor we owe to our parents.
14:53We have been repeating this word and we will continue to repeat it because we want to always keep it in mind.
15:00Yeah?
15:01Well, we invite you to continue with us in this next video.
15:08But before I say to you, honor your father and your mother.
15:12And the premise we were just mentioning.
15:15Love is repaid with love.
15:17Brothers, blessings.
15:19See you in a bit.
15:20We're back.
15:30We're back.
