00:00Last week, in the reflection on this Chapter 6 that we are following in a
00:11continues in this cycle, after having left space in the Gospel of Mark
00:18that we had been following, a space opens up within the liturgy to read the chapter
00:24John 6, which as we said last week is the Eucharistic chapter, in this we
00:33Last week we asked who this man is, why we follow him, what
00:41What is the motivation to follow Christ? What is our motivation to be Christians?
00:47We were wondering what the motivation is for being here at Mass, what it is that...
00:54It motivates. We were looking at different aspects to answer this question and today
01:03We can truly find the answer. We follow Jesus because He is the bread from heaven.
01:14It is the only thing that can satisfy our hunger, and not just the hunger for the bread we eat.
01:22Every day, this hunger we have to feed ourselves, people are looking for it like
01:28We listened today, and if you don't look for me because of the sign, it's because you didn't see the sign.
01:37that I gave them when I multiplied the loaves, they are looking for me to give them to eat, do not look
01:45This bread. I'm going to talk to you about a different kind of bread. All of us, brothers and sisters, are called to
01:53Eternity, and that makes us insatiable because eternity is insatiable, it is endless
02:02And that is why Saint Augustine said that the heart of man is restless until it rests.
02:09in God. We will always be hungry, hungry for power, hungry for pleasure, hungry for possessions.
02:21Someone who owns a car wants another one; someone who owns an older model wants a new one.
02:29And the one who has the new one wants the next one, the one who has one house wants two, the one who has
02:36One thousand wants two thousand, and so on. If you notice, we are never satisfied, we always want more.
02:47Moreover, we are always craving more, we are hungry for more. And you see, when there is
02:56Hunger, physical hunger, which is what Jesus is going to compare it to, causes us anguish, that's why
03:02When children are small and hungry they cry, they are hungry, it produces a certain
03:11emptiness, a pain, a need that even as adults we still feel, right? We say, "I am..."
03:22dying of hunger. And this hunger, which is one of our natural appetites, is reflected
03:32in our whole being. When we are given something we like, don't we want more?
03:40That's where the topic of gluttony comes from. We're given a dessert we like. We say, "Can't I have some?"
03:46Give a little bit more? Isn't that right? And when you've already eaten that little bit more, another little bit
03:53And well, if you don't want to throw up, you're going to say, "Can't you give me a little more?"
04:01To take me? We're hungry and we always want more. And that same feeling of dissatisfaction...
04:14Internally, if you analyze it in your own life, it's exactly what happens to all of us.
04:21other elements. I mean, when we have money, we say, wow, how do I get it
04:29More? And until I have more, I feel uneasy because I'm starting to see that my
04:35Hey buddy, my friend, my neighbor, has he bought another car, or is he going to move house, or
04:42He had the opportunity to take a trip, and so on. And that fuels our hunger. Because they say that
04:50You really win, right? We're insatiable, and it's important that we don't...
05:00We are aware. We are insatiable in everything. In pleasure, the same. You're having a good time.
05:11And you wished you had a better time. And you wished it wasn't just one day, but the whole day.
05:17that they were every day of your life. We are insatiable. There is a hunger for power, a hunger for
05:26pleasure, and hunger for possessions. We could say that man is a perpetually hungry being.
05:34And this produces anguish and unrest in the heart. For we hunger for eternity.
05:42That is true hunger. But we mistake it for something else. Because when we receive
05:50A little extra money, we feel good, don't we? You can go buy yourself something else.
05:58When you crave pleasure and you satisfy it, whether by eating or in some other way in life
06:07Sexual or in any other form, pleasure, when you satisfy it, feels good, right?
06:14Like when you eat, you say, "Oh, that was delicious!" But then you get hungry again.
06:20And the same thing happens with pleasure, and the same thing happens with possessions. At that moment, it is satiated, it is taken away.
06:31The anguish, but sooner or later it will return. You'll want more. Because we have
06:40We confuse hunger for eternity with hunger for power, hunger for pleasure, or hunger to possess.
06:47Because at that moment it satisfies that anguish in the heart. But only momentarily, nothing more.
06:57That is why Jesus says that only he is able to satisfy our hunger. I am the bread that satisfies.
07:09And look, there's another beautiful example. I hope you can read it. I'm not going to read it all.
07:17The text. I'm just going to give you the context. In John, in chapter 4, we find the theme
07:26of the Samaritan woman. We could say that the Samaritan woman is insatiable in her lack
07:37of affection. Jesus, at one point, starting in verse 15, asks him, "Where is he?"
07:45Your husband? And she says, I don't have one. And he says, you're right, because you've had five and the one you have now...
07:52He's not your husband right now. He's a person who's hungry for affection, hungry for esteem, hungry
08:00that she be treated well. But no one has satisfied that desire, not the first, nor the second, nor the third.
08:06Not the fourth, not the fifth. And now she has another one. And it doesn't satisfy her. And look what she tells him
08:15Jesus. This text is beautiful, look. It says in verse 13, Jesus answered and said to him
08:22He said, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.” They are at the well. But whoever
08:29Drink the water I give you, and you will never be thirsty again; the water I give you will become hot to the senses.
08:36will make him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. Into a spring
08:45Continue. Imagine being inside the water pipe all day, quenching your thirst.
08:54Your thirst will be constantly quenched, and you will never be thirsty again.
09:03People who have God are not thirsty for pleasure. They enjoy it, but they are not thirsty. No
09:13It causes him anguish not to have it. He is not thirsty for money. He enjoys his money, but he doesn't...
09:22It causes him anguish not to have it. He has a thirst for power. But if he doesn't have it, it doesn't cause him anguish.
09:31Anguish. Live in peace. Live serenely with what you have.
09:36And that's why he's happy.
09:42Anguish, inner fear, is what takes away our happiness, brother.
09:49And in a world where pleasure is offered to you from all sides, in a world where you are motivated
09:56Having more and more of them is generating more thirst. Imagine that instead of giving you water,
10:04What does the world give you? It gives you salt.
10:10And what does salt do?
10:13It makes you thirsty.
10:16And there we have all our television commercials full of salt.
10:22Buy, buy, buy, buy, buy.
10:24But I don't have any, it doesn't matter. Buy, buy, buy, buy, buy.
10:27If you don't have it, sign it. Then figure out how to pay, but buy, buy, buy, buy.
10:38They awaken thirst in us.
10:42Fashion, spectacular displays.
10:45The women were almost naked.
10:47Men in sexy positions.
10:50Pushing the salt of pleasure everywhere.
11:00And that is why our poor boys today, thirsty,
11:05They're looking for somewhere to drink.
11:07And it's water they drink.
11:14It's contaminated water.
11:17It's water that makes them sick.
11:20It is water that destroys them.
11:23And that's why,
11:24They are related to boyfriends and girlfriends.
11:28That's why they're searching the internet for any kind
11:30information about this.
11:32Because?
11:34Because they are thirsty.
11:35Because our world
11:37It makes them thirsty.
11:41Instead of television
11:43and all our media outlets
11:46give us water to drink,
11:49They give us salt to eat.
11:51And a great thirst develops.
11:55Jesus says,
11:57come to me.
11:59The water that I am going to give them
12:01It will be water that completely satisfies them.
12:07There is another case
12:08which I place before you today.
12:11They can check it.
12:12in their Bibles.
12:15This is a case of looting.
12:18Saqueo was insatiable for money.
12:22I was constantly looking to have more.
12:25He was a very rich man.
12:29When he meets Jesus
12:31and quenches his thirst,
12:34It tells us in chapter 9 of Luke
12:36that he gave away,
12:38Look,
12:39the size of his fortune.
12:42He gave half of his possessions to the poor.
12:44And to all the people he had disappointed
12:49I was going to give him four times as much.
12:51Imagine,
12:59Imagine the fortune looted.
13:06Says,
13:07looting, he says,
13:09He stood up
13:10And he said to the Lord,
13:13Behold, O Lord,
13:14half of my assets
13:15I will give to the poor.
13:18And if I have disappointed anyone
13:20I will restore some of it
13:22in quadruplicate.
13:25His thirst was quenched.
13:27He met Christ, brothers.
13:30Looting met Christ.
13:33This woman who had five husbands
13:36He met Christ
13:38and quenches his thirst.
13:43Today we need our world
13:45meet Christ.
13:48to quench the thirst.
13:52While we don't have
13:54this personal encounter with Christ,
13:58We do not quench our thirst
14:00And then we seek to satisfy it.
14:03Where?
14:04Well,
14:06Wherever possible, right?
14:08Although that water
14:10be contaminated water.
14:12It's dirty water.
14:15that at that moment
14:17It satisfies us.
14:20I remember seeing,
14:21Perhaps you too have seen
14:23of those movies
14:23of westerns
14:25where the cowboy
14:27it finally arrives
14:28after
14:29you can get there
14:31to the city
14:31after crossing
14:33the desert
14:33with the first thing you encounter
14:35It is with these
14:36drinking troughs
14:37that they had there
14:38for the horses
14:39and arrives
14:41and goes in there
14:42and starts to drink
14:44like a desperate person
14:45from dirty water
14:46that
14:47with which they drink
14:48the horses
14:49But he's so thirsty
14:50that he doesn't care
14:51drinking dirty water
14:53although maybe
14:54then he gets sick
14:54of the stomach
14:55but at that moment
14:56He wants to quench his thirst.
15:00Our teenagers
15:01They want to quench their thirst.
15:03They give them so much salt
15:05in the programs
15:08television
15:09They give them so much salt
15:12in today's fashion
15:13who want to quench their thirst
15:15and they satisfy it
15:18in the sources
15:20poisoned.
15:23Then will come
15:24more corruption
15:25failed marriages
15:28etc
15:30The same thing happens to us.
15:32with the money
15:32The same thing happens to us
15:35yet
15:35as well as the woman
15:38as well as looting
15:39each one of us
15:40you will be able to have more
15:41or less thirst
15:42of something
15:43it is necessary
15:45meet
15:47with Christ
15:47and the text
15:49today
15:50in the gospel
15:51he tells us
15:51that the search
15:55It ends
15:56when he/she grows
15:58in Jesus
15:58the text
16:01that today
16:02we have read
16:03in verse 35
16:04says
16:04I am
16:06bread
16:07that gives life
16:08the one who comes
16:10me
16:10will never have
16:12hunger
16:12and the one who believes
16:14in me
16:15will never have
16:17thirst
16:17see
16:18that in this
16:19in this text
16:20my brothers
16:21Jesus
16:22one
16:22satiety
16:25with the meeting
16:27but an encounter
16:28carrying
16:28to faith
16:29if the world
16:32today
16:32He is thirsty.
16:33if the world
16:35He has no peace today
16:36if the world
16:37Today he is satiated
16:38with all the trash
16:40with all that water
16:41contaminated
16:42with all that food
16:44that people
16:45today offers us
16:46via the internet
16:47television
16:48cinema
16:49etc
16:50It's because
16:51He has no faith
16:52You have faith
16:56if you're hungry
17:01You have no faith
17:03when man
17:06has true faith
17:08in Christ
17:09is satisfied
17:12in the gospel
17:15from Juan
17:15when he dies
17:16Lazarus
17:17Chapter 11
17:18of the gospel
17:19Jesus arrives
17:21when Lazarus
17:22He already died
17:23and then
17:26Jesus
17:28says
17:28I read the verses
17:3025
17:31and following
17:32because he tells her
17:35he tells her
17:36Marten
17:38Mister
17:40if you had
17:41been here
17:41my brother
17:43he would not have died
17:44and Jesus
17:46It says the following
17:47Jesus said to him
17:49I am
17:50the resurrection
17:51and life
17:52the one who believes
17:54in me
17:54even if I die
17:56will live
17:57and the one who lives
18:01And believe in me
18:02He will never die
18:04and asks
18:06Do you believe this?
18:08we say that we have
18:14Faith, brothers
18:15but
18:15really
18:17we have faith
18:18really
18:21we believe
18:22that he is
18:22God
18:23we believe
18:25that he is
18:25the son
18:26of God
18:27really
18:28while in Jericho
18:37according to the gospel
18:40Matthew's
18:41is found
18:41two blind people
18:42Matthew
18:439
18:4428
18:44and asks
18:46to the blind
18:47that asks
18:48heal it
18:48cure him
18:49and asks
18:50to Jesus
18:51Do you think
18:52that I can
18:53do it?
18:54Do you think
18:57that I can
18:57do it?
19:02the topic
19:03It's beyond
19:04to say
19:04Yes, I think so.
19:05in the figure
19:06historical
19:06of Christ
19:07Yes, I think so.
19:08what are you doing
19:09two thousand years
19:09passed through this land
19:11a man
19:11which was called
19:12Christ
19:12No
19:14Do you really
19:16do you think
19:16Is he alive?
19:20Do you really
19:21do you think
19:22that Christ
19:23inhabits
19:24by faith
19:25in your heart?
19:27Do you really
19:28do you think
19:29that can
19:30change
19:30your life?
19:33What is it that
19:34do you think
19:35of Christ?
19:40the one who believes
19:41in me
19:41will not return
19:43to have
19:44hunger
19:44and will not return
19:46to be thirsty
19:47and I put them
19:49the example
19:50of the chapter
19:526

19:54where
19:54He tells us
19:55of the
19:56estate

19:58because
