00:29Very good,
00:29So we're back again to continue this topic about what Pablo thinks about the
00:35St. Paul's spirituality regarding material things. Well, on the subject of money,
00:44Saint Paul had clearly understood the value of freedom and knew that a great obstacle is the
00:51The desire for wealth. He tells Timothy this in no uncertain terms. I would like us to read this
00:59The text is from 1 Timothy, chapter 6, and we are going to read verses 7 through 10. The apostle says
01:08Saint Paul, because we brought nothing into the world, so we can take nothing out of it. And if we have to eat
01:17And with what we have to cover ourselves, we are content. But those who want to get rich fall into temptation.
01:26and in many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and perdition.
01:35Check verse 10.
01:38For the love of money is the root of all evil, and some people, eager for money, have become rich.
01:46They strayed from the faith and tortured themselves with many pains. Look at this terrible text, right? Love for
01:55Money. Because of this love of money, many people have been lost and great evils have been brought about. In
02:04Some translations say, great evils have been brought about. We can see in this text of Paul his clear
02:13Thoughts on the subject of money. And we see that money itself is not bad. Paul and Jesus
02:21they had
02:21We have many wealthy friends. For example, Philemon, Zacchaeus, Joseph of Arimathea, and many others.
02:31Furthermore, the problem is always ambition, which naturally ends in a deep selfishness that...
02:40It makes others ignored. Jesus tells a tremendous parable in this regard. We call it the parable of
02:47Lazarus, or the rich man Epulon, that rich man who, therefore, is going to scorn this Lazarus for love of money. In
02:58she
02:58We see what money can become.
03:05What money damages at a certain moment to a person, who despite seeing all the
03:13days to the poor Lazarus, hungry at his doorstep. That is to say, he couldn't help but see him because
03:18He was at his front door. This man's heart had hardened to such an extent that he couldn't
03:25He wouldn't even give her the crumbs that fell from his table. Because, my brothers, the love of money ultimately leads to...
03:34To blind people. There is a story about this concerning a king in India. In this
03:42The story tells us that there was a king of India who was very rich. However, he had a reputation for
03:49be
03:50completely indifferent to material wealth. The story goes that a subject, on one occasion,
03:58This subject wanted to find out the secret that kept the king tied to his possessions and asked him to
04:07He would reveal that secret to her. The king said, "I will reveal my secret to you, but first you must travel through my..."
04:16Come to the palace with me to understand the magnitude of my wealth. But I'm going to ask you one thing: you must bring
04:25I'll keep a lit candle with you. If this candle goes out, I'll cut off your head. They say the subject
04:36He accepted the challenge. At the end of this tour of the entire king's palace, the king looked at him intently and
04:46you
04:46He asked, "What do you think of my riches? Did you see them?" To which the man replied, "No, I didn't see anything."
04:57Your Majesty. As I walked, my only concern was that the flame wouldn't go out. The king said to him, that is
05:07my
05:07secret. I'm so busy fanning the flame within that I'm not interested in the riches of
05:15Outside. What a meaningful story! To rekindle the flame of the heart, to keep it alive. A beautiful story that
05:27It shows us that what's important, as Paul presents it, is Christ. The rest is just rubbish, things that
05:36While important, they are not worth it when compared to the value of knowing, loving, and being.
05:43beloved
05:43through Christ. When God is at the center of our hearts, when our concern is to revive our
05:54relationship with Him, for what interest us in the rest? Let us work for inner goods, let us
06:01Work on what's inside us. Everything else comes as a bonus. We don't need anything more.
06:11And on the other hand, always with reference to possessions, the Christian should live without worry.
06:22about money, for he knows he always has a provident God. Saint Paul writes this to the
06:30Philippians. In his letter to the Philippians, in chapter 4, there are a couple, three verses, a couple of
06:38Verses that I find very beautiful. I would like you to underline them, because I underline them in all my Bibles.
06:45I have them underlined. Come on, Philippians chapter 4, verses 11 to 13.
06:52Not that I speak out of want, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
07:01I know how to live in poverty and I know how to live in prosperity. I have learned the secret in everything and through everything.
07:11both being full and being hungry, having plenty and suffering want.
07:19And verse 13 reveals to us, just as in the king, it reveals the secret.
07:26I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
07:31This, my brothers, this is the secret.
07:34This text makes it clear that we should be grateful for the help we receive, like Paul, who thanks them.
07:44the Philippians.
07:45Thank you for worrying about me, right?
07:49But God provides; God continually gives us what we need.
07:56In this text, Saint Paul reveals his stance on need.
08:02It doesn't need anything more.
08:04Christ fills everything.
08:06He is the secret.
08:08He is what strengthens him at all times.
08:10and it makes him appreciate things
08:13so that these,
08:15although they have,
08:17because they are important in their lives,
08:22Well, when he doesn't have them,
08:24Well, it's okay.
08:26If I have it, that's great.
08:27And if not, well, that's fine too.
08:29For poverty and wealth
08:31These are changing situations,
08:33fortuitous,
08:34as for us too,
08:36that should not disturb inner peace and joy.
08:39Sometimes we have,
08:40We're doing very well at work,
08:41in business,
08:42Everything works perfectly.
08:43Suddenly, boom, everything falls down.
08:45We left work,
08:47Things are getting tight,
08:48We have to sell the house.
08:49the cars,
08:50The children need to be taken out
08:51from private schools,
08:54I don't know.
08:55We went through unstable situations
08:57in this world,
08:58poverty and wealth.
08:59They alternate in our lives.
09:01Sometimes we have more,
09:02Sometimes we have less.
09:05But that will take away our peace.
09:08Of course not.
09:09We have a provident God.
09:11Saint Paul teaches
09:12that every Christian
09:14should always feel supported
09:17by a Father full of love
09:18that provides it,
09:19that you will see that you will not lack
09:21what is necessary.
09:22That's why,
09:24as he says to his apostle Timothy,
09:27if we have
09:29what to eat,
09:31what to cover ourselves with,
09:33Well, we're ready now.
09:35We will be happy for you.
09:36Enough!
09:38But not,
09:39We want more and more and more
09:40and wants a car
09:41and two and three and four
09:41and two houses
09:42and three houses
09:42and a million
09:43and five million
09:44and one billion
09:45and when we fill up.
09:48We never fill up.
09:52That is why Jesus,
09:53on this topic,
09:55He gives an extensive sermon
09:57to help the community
09:58to live in peace,
10:00regardless of the circumstances,
10:02since we have
10:02a loving Father
10:04who is always watching
10:05for us.
10:06For Him,
10:08as Jesus says,
10:09we are more valuable
10:10that the birds
10:11and that the flowers,
10:13Therefore, we should not
10:14worry
10:15because of the dress
10:16or because of food.
10:17Rather,
10:19we must look
10:20the kingdom of God
10:21and its justice.
10:22We must look
10:23keep on
10:25the flame
10:26in our hearts,
10:26as I was saying
10:27the king of the story.
10:29Well, if we do this,
10:31the rest
10:31we will come
10:32Furthermore.
10:33but not,
10:35We are worried
10:36for having more,
10:38for taking care,
10:39so that it doesn't leave us.
10:40It's true
10:41that we are administrators,
10:42we have to take care
10:43what we have been given,
10:45But this should not lead us to
10:46to take away peace
10:47nor should we be
10:48tied to none of this,
10:50because we know
10:51that we have
10:52a Father
10:52that provides us.
10:55We can then
10:56to see that indeed
10:57the Christian life
10:59It requires freedom,
11:01to live without ties,
11:03otherwise
11:05It is very costly
11:07follow the Lord.
11:09We must have
11:10a relationship
11:10with things
11:11that they are always
11:13subordinates
11:14to the kingdom.
11:16It's not bad
11:17to have things,
11:18It's bad
11:19that things
11:20have us
11:21us.
11:22The Christian
11:24must have
11:25the capacity
11:26to leave
11:27what one has
11:28to continue
11:29to Christ
11:30with radicalism.
11:32we need to have
11:33that capacity
11:34of detachment,
11:37have
11:38without retaining.
11:41Things
11:41in themselves
11:42They're not bad,
11:44that's why
11:44Saint Paul
11:45makes a comparison
11:46where they put them
11:47in reference
11:48to Christ,
11:49luckily
11:50that if the
11:50we compare,
11:52because it doesn't have
11:53extent
11:53comparison
11:54our relationship
11:55with Christ,
11:56to the point
11:56than the others
11:57things,
11:58because they look
11:59like garbage,
12:00But it's because
12:01Here I have
12:01the sun,
12:02I have,
12:03Imagine that
12:04the sun,
12:06you are seeing
12:07the sun,
12:08I don't know if they have
12:09done suddenly
12:10are,
12:11have had
12:11this situation
12:12to stay
12:13watching during
12:13sometime
12:14the sun,
12:14It shouldn't be done
12:15a lot because
12:16we can even
12:17until they go blind,
12:19It's so intense
12:20sunlight
12:20that can burn
12:22our retina.
12:24What are you doing
12:25the eye
12:26when
12:26see a light
12:28very intense
12:28like the sun's?
12:29It closes
12:31and it closes
12:32so much
12:32that when we
12:33we stopped seeing
12:34in the sun
12:35we no longer see
12:36nothing,
12:38everything is visible
12:39dark
12:39until little
12:40little by little
12:41again
12:42our retina
12:43opens
12:44again
12:44little by little
12:46and then
12:46we started to see
12:48when I
12:49I'm
12:50always seeing
12:51to Christ,
12:52well, everything
12:52the rest
12:53well then
12:54It does not have
12:55more sense.
12:57Saint Paul
12:59writing
13:00to the Corinthians
13:01a community
13:02that as
