00:14Alright, we're back, brothers, for our last segment. We were just discussing the importance
00:21about the relationship we should have with our parents. And in that relationship, well, something else too.
00:28What we need to appreciate is that great commitment, that great responsibility that they
00:34They took their vows with God our Lord, didn't they? On their wedding day, they agreed to take
00:41a life as husband and wife, as married couples, and also to receive with great affection and great love
00:48The children God allowed them, right? And among those children, well, there's you, brother.
00:54You are here, sister, and it has fallen to you to experience firsthand that great effort, that great
01:02The dedication your parents have shown, right? For you, and perhaps also for any siblings you may have.
01:07for your siblings, for your family, for always striving to provide you with an environment like this.
01:12As we mentioned at the beginning, a stable environment, a harmonious environment, where there is love, where
01:18Parents should always be present and caring for their children. These same situations, these
01:25same commitments and responsibilities that you already had to see as a son, well, you're going
01:33Walking towards the altar, towards that marriage, the Lord will ask you for that same commitment.
01:40that same responsibility. First, towards your wife, tomorrow, and also with God's favor.
01:47with the children God allows them to have. That's why it's so important that...
01:56coexistence, that important heritage we mentioned, that great wealth that we
02:02Let's bring what we have from our families, let's combine it and create that synergy. Why? Because our
02:08The Lord asks that of us, that great commitment with love, with dedication, with care, that effort
02:16Let's always do it and always keep it in mind. And we see it as it mentions.
02:21in the book of Deuteronomy.
02:23Let's look at Deuteronomy chapter 6 verses 9 through 12. And it shall come to pass, when the Lord your God has said unto you
02:31bring to the land that he swore to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that he would give you, a land with great riches.
02:37and
02:37splendid cities that you did not build, and houses full of all good things that you did not fill, and cisterns
02:44fields you did not dig, vineyards and olive groves you did not plant, and you eat and are satisfied. Then be careful,
02:53lest you forget the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
03:00Well, as I was saying earlier, regarding that great responsibility that our parents assumed
03:05On their wedding day, we too will assume that great responsibility. And here we see it.
03:11In the quote, right? As God tells us, those vineyards you did not plant, those cisterns you did not dig,
03:18This is what God our Lord is entrusting to us to make us responsible for. That vineyard,
03:25Well, look, she's going to be your wife. Today your girlfriend, tomorrow your wife. And she's making you responsible.
03:32So that you have that care, so that you have that attention. I mentioned that great thing to you a while ago.
03:38The premise that love is repaid with love, right? Now, that great love you received as a son,
03:43Now it's your turn to share it with your wife, to share that love. And from that love, the fruit.
03:51Love will be love, which will result in children. That great blessing that God will bestow.
03:58in their homes, with children, shouting, happy, singing, jumping, for you to enjoy.
04:05That will be one way in which you will enjoy that great love that God has given you.
04:09to transmit,
04:10that God will give you, with the gift of life through your children. Yes? Then, by
04:16That's good.
04:16It is important that we keep in mind that this great responsibility that God has entrusted
04:23In you, brother, in you, sister. God trusts in you. That's why He will receive you with open arms.
04:31When you walk down the aisle to say, "John, here is Claudia and I give her to you as..."
04:41wife. Claudia, here is Juan, accept him as your husband. And the two of you will take on that great responsibility.
04:47responsibility. And from that moment on, they will begin to form that new family, that family that we have
04:55I've been mentioning. Family that will be taking care of you both, so that you
05:04Keep walking and keep shaping it and keep making it more and more solid, stronger, and fuller.
05:11of love. And so, let's see how Saint Paul tells us this in his letter to the Ephesians.
05:19Ephesians chapter 5, verse 31. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife.
05:26to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
05:30Here we see that parents, as we have been repeating, should not be abandoned or neglected.
05:36But to unite you in marriage, they will leave you so that you may no longer be two, but one flesh.
05:44So your new home, right now, will be your refuge, it will be your dwelling, it will be where you go
05:50to feel
05:51protected, and with the confidence that your love will reign at all times. And at no time, it says
05:59that we forget
06:00of our parents, but rather that our husband, our wife, is going to be our priority, putting at the center
06:08From us, to God our Lord. Only the couple can make the decisions.
06:14Of course we're going to accept advice, as we said in the previous video, but we're the ones who are going to...
06:22take
06:22our own decisions. And our families are there to help us at all times, and to share with us as well.
06:29All the experiences they've already had. And that could be useful to us, right?
06:36That they can be useful to us for improving our home at all times. And what's really important is that
06:43Let us be understanding, let there be communication between us, let us be prudent, and let there be between
06:50We have a good relationship. And here, I invite you to understand that it is very important to embrace our in-laws.
06:59Even though at first they tell you, "Oh, I'm not marrying my in-laws," if you have to take them into account...
07:04account, and you have to
07:05Hugging our in-laws, our brothers-in-law, so that we can all be integrated. It's about avoiding them, seeing them as
07:13competition, as adversaries, as if they want to harm you. Rather, that is, we shouldn't see them as
07:19intruders, on the contrary. We must integrate them, that is, we must respect them, we must respect their
07:27advice, their beliefs, their way of being, their, so that together we can form a good family.
07:34Because we already know that we all have qualities, but we also have areas for improvement.
07:40And here I invite you, I invite you, not to be prejudiced. You see, there are many jokes, especially
07:47of the
07:47Mother-in-law, in-laws, brothers-in-law. I think they should avoid preconceived notions and go with an open mind.
07:53open, or from now on since they are obvious, to always try to seek empathy and that there is trust
08:01Respect between you and your in-laws is vitally important. As we told you...
08:07The beginning of our video is that we've known each other for a long time, and from the beginning
08:14I met Emilio's family, and they welcomed me so warmly. She was absolutely amazed. It really was.
08:21I know, I mean, everyone's doing very well, and when it comes to my family, everyone, really, I mean, always doing very well.
08:27They saw Emilio. I am, I am the oldest sister in my family, there are five of us, and when we
08:36We were dating, my mom was just pregnant with my youngest sisters, who were twins.
08:42So, I'm sixteen years older than them. Well, my mother-in-law was delighted, because she had cigars.
08:49There were, and are, four sons, and she's delighted, because, because with the girls, things are always good.
08:54Detail-oriented. Well, detail-oriented with me, with my family, with my sisters, but it's like...
09:00He knew them since they were little, since they were born, so, well, there was always, a great
09:05Love. So, she always gave them little gifts, and my mom was very attentive to them.
09:11He lent them to us so we could take my sisters for walks. Several times he also took them to the
09:16Emilio's house. So, the truth is, it kind of became, well, a really good
09:21Friendship. One of my sisters, Daniela, when she was going to make her first communion, wanted
09:27She liked my mother-in-law quite a bit, so she chose her as her godmother for her first communion. So, then,
09:32My mom, I mean, they were godmothers twice over. My mom and my mother-in-law became friends.
09:38Every Monday they went to the church of Saint Jude Thaddeus, where there was a special mass for Saint
09:44Nicholas of Bari, and so every Monday, one day a godmother would pass by and the next day a godmother would pass by
09:49The other one. My mother-in-law passed away; it will soon be 14 years since she died. My mother was able to go.
09:56She could only attend one mass, since my mother-in-law had passed away, and said she didn't feel...
10:02I was happy to go back there, because, I mean, I felt the memory of always going there with my mother-in-law.
10:08So, to be honest, when she died, I cried for her as if she were dead.
10:13My mother. So, honestly, I'm telling you all, don't be prejudiced and give it your all.
10:18which is in their favor so they can truly start a family. Of course, I now
10:23I feel a great responsibility, because I also have to be a good mother-in-law.
10:31Well, we have to, we have to make an effort, right? This, without a doubt, this, as we mentioned
10:37In the previous section, it's a big commitment, but it's a very beautiful commitment. This one, no.
10:42We can, uh, be afraid of him, and that's really it. No, no, no, it's a responsibility.
10:49Very beautiful. Why? Because it's very rewarding, it's very rewarding to see that affection, to see that,
10:53That love, that shared life that develops in families. I believe that
10:59This is the way in which God our Lord allows us to have that reward, see
11:09How is that union going, to see how that affection, that empathy, that harmony is going. And right now
11:15I was telling you that we have to make an effort, right? This, and the first effort that, that now
11:22What you're going to have to do is, well, form that family, that family that is
11:28Founded on love, and well-structured in its communication. Communication
11:36It's going to be something very important for you.
11:39Key piece.
11:40A key piece, exactly. A cornerstone, this would tell us, the word of God, right?
11:46Cornerstone. So, it's something you're going to have to work hard on, dedicate a lot of time to.
11:51A lot of time is dedicated to that communication. Why? Because they will be able to share their
11:57feelings, their emotions, where they will be able to convey them to your wife, to your husband,
12:05What's in your heart? He or she will listen to you, and in this way you will be able to complement each other.
12:16to come together and see what each one needs from the other. It's a job, as I was saying, that has
12:24A great reward. If it requires time, if it requires effort, if it requires dedication
12:30A lot of prayer. Yes, but everything we dedicate ourselves to always receives a great reward.
12:38And remember the premise. Haven't you forgotten? Love is repaid with love. Right?
12:45So, if I give her love, she'll give me love. Who wouldn't want to receive that? Everyone.
12:55We all aspire to that. We are all here for that reason. Because we are a product of love. So,
13:02If we are products of love, we have a great capacity to give love. In the first instance,
13:09Obviously, to my wife, to my husband. But, as we've also discussed, to the children.
13:18to the children God sends us. There we will overflow with that great love, with that great affection.
13:24So, keep all that effort, all that dedication, in mind. And as we've mentioned,
13:30And that's the name of our song. Your family, my family, our family. We're working on it.
13:36For that family. We want a united family, a family where there is harmony, a family
13:43Where there is a lot of communication, a family where love reigns. Where love reigns, there is
13:50God is present. With God present, we will form a rope of three strands. And that rope
13:59It's made of three threads. It mustn't break. Never, ever. Right? That's why it's so important.
14:07As Laura said, let God be the center of our marriage. And yes, with a very special place.
14:17Important, after God, my husband, my wife. Right? Very good. Well, as I was saying,
14:27We've now reached our third section. We've already seen how the word instructed us,
14:33It also nourished our hearts, guiding us to know and to pay attention
14:40in the care we must take with our parents. Remember to honor them. How are we going to
14:48To honor them? By being attentive to them, caring for them, looking after them, listening to them, showing interest in them
14:57For them. And that they see that everything we do for them, we do with love.
15:03We do it with love. Because everything they have done for us, they have done with love.
15:08They did it with love. Right? Another very important point is communication. We said, because
15:18That's right, good communication is the cornerstone of a marriage. Right? Share
15:26Share everything, all your feelings, all your emotions. There won't be anyone else.
15:33Interested in what's in your heart more than your husband or your wife? Yes? Then,
15:40That's why it's so important that we have good communication. And, well, then...
15:47It's time to say goodbye, wishing you an incredible walk down the aisle.
15:57that leads them to always take God's hand. We can only take good things from God.
16:04Decisions, big decisions. And that's the path you're on right now.
16:08That is why you have been hearing these talks, and will perhaps continue to hear them.
16:13in a few more videos. Always remember, everything that is shared, is shared only.
16:22With the wish that you are happy, that you have a stable marriage, a fulfilling marriage
16:28of love and that you may build your family, your solid family, founded on God. Brother,
16:37Sister, we say goodbye. We wish you the greatest success in your marriage.
16:44God bless you always. May you have an extremely happy marriage, a very fulfilling marriage.
16:51of love, a very blessed marriage with children, a marriage where God is always present.
16:58Because remember, where God is present, everything is possible. And the three-stranded cord.
17:05It never breaks.
17:07Brothers, we hope you are all well. We say goodbye with great affection. We send you our best wishes.
17:11A big hug. God, we want to ask you to watch over these brothers and sisters of ours who are walking.
17:20towards the altar. We want the light of your Holy Spirit to guide their steps, to illuminate their hearts.
17:28And we also want to ask that this decision you are making is always filled with love.
17:35We want to ask you, Lord, to pray for their hearts. We want to ask that they, taking hold of your grace, may be blessed.
17:43We ask that you and your family can create a home full of love, a home where you are present. All this we ask of you.
17:51Lord, through the merits that your Son Jesus Christ has won for us.
17:56And to you, Holy Virgin, we ask that you intercede for us before God our Lord, so that
18:02These brothers and sisters who are preparing to receive the sacrament of marriage, always
18:10May they be guided by your Son Jesus and draw near to Him at all times. Intercede for us so that
18:18May joy, love, and respect reign in your home. All this we ask of you. In the name of
18:25of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Amen.
18:32Amen.
18:34Amen.
18:36Amen.
18:36Amen.
18:38Amen.
18:42Amen.
18:43Amen.
