00:00This week, from the Word of God
00:30When the disciples saw the Lord, they were filled with joy.
00:35Jesus said to them again,
00:38Peace be with you.
00:40As the Father has sent me, so I send you.
00:45After saying this, he breathed on them and said,
00:49Receive the Holy Spirit.
00:52Those whose sins you forgive are forgiven.
00:56And those who are not forgiven will remain unforgiven.
01:03Thomas, one of the twelve, who was called the twin,
01:07I was not with them when Jesus came.
01:09And the other disciples said to him,
01:12We have seen the Lord.
01:14But he answered them,
01:17If I do not see the nail marks in his hands,
01:20And if I don't put my finger in the holes of the nails,
01:23and I do not put my hand into his side,
01:26I won't believe it.
01:29Eight days later,
01:31The disciples were gathered together behind closed doors,
01:35And Thomas was with them.
01:38Jesus appeared again among them and said to them,
01:42Peace be with you.
01:45Then he said to Thomas,
01:48Here is my hand, here are my hands,
01:51bring your finger closer.
01:52Bring your hand here,
01:54Put it in my side,
01:56And don't continue to doubt if you don't believe.
02:00Thomas replied,
02:03My Lord and my God.
02:07Jesus added,
02:10You believe it because you've seen me.
02:11Blessed are those who believe without having seen.
02:16Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples,
02:21but they are not written in this book.
02:24These things were written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah,
02:30the Son of God,
02:30And so that, believing,
02:33may they have life in his name.
02:39Today I wanted to,
02:41from all this long reading of the Gospel,
02:46And so,
02:48Taking into account the theme of mercy,
02:52Well, one of the topics has to be chosen.
02:56because otherwise,
02:59well,
03:00We're leaving with nothing.
03:01TRUE?
03:01It's like when you graduate from college,
03:04He knows a lot and he knows nothing.
03:06He knows very little about some things that,
03:09many of those we saw in the first semester,
03:12By the eighth or tenth, we'll remember.
03:14so,
03:16It's like you have to specialize and choose something.
03:19And it seems to me that,
03:21at this stage in which I am leading you in the preaching,
03:25I found it interesting to take the last part of the Gospel.
03:29With this Gospel,
03:30The first ending is over,
03:32That's what the first San Juan final is called.
03:35Then an extra chapter will be written,
03:37which is chapter 21,
03:39which is called the Epilogue,
03:41where we will have another appearance of Jesus,
03:43and then, well,
03:45already,
03:46now yes,
03:46a new ending.
03:48In this ending,
03:50The words with which the Gospel practically ends are very important.
03:57where Thomas recognizes Jesus as Lord and as God.
04:04This expression is collected,
04:09obviously,
04:09many years after the resurrection of Jesus.
04:13The recognition of Jesus as God and as Lord will be a process within the people.
04:21especially in the nation of Israel,
04:23because, well,
04:25What they saw was a man,
04:28Yeah,
04:29endowed with exceptional power,
04:30as the book of Acts of the Apostles will discuss,
04:33But to arrive at the conclusion and definition of what God is,
04:42That will be a process that will take place after the resurrection.
04:46But what is important in the community?
04:49I mean,
04:50the Christian community recognizes,
04:52especially in the first community,
04:55recognize these two qualities of Jesus.
04:58He is the Lord
04:59And He is God.
05:02Two things that we're leaving,
05:05as happens in everything,
05:07We're getting used to it,
05:08I have ordinarily told them,
05:10that we are getting used to holy things,
05:13We got used to coming to mass,
05:14we get used to sitting in a certain place,
05:18we get used to putting our car in a certain place,
05:21We get used to answering certain things in the liturgy,
05:25in the end.
05:26And that becomes a habit,
05:28that we then do without thinking.
05:31Those of us who drive cars,
05:33well,
05:34Well,
05:35It was my turn,
05:36And there aren't many.
05:38But there are still what are called standard cars,
05:41where,
05:42Well, you have to think,
05:45Well,
05:45At first, there were those who were thinking about whether to engage the clutch,
05:48TRUE?
05:49And then accelerate,
05:50and it has a rhythm,
05:51TRUE?
05:52There is a middle,
05:52He releases the clutch and drives off.
05:54one starts accelerating,
05:55And if not,
05:56Here's one,
05:58TRUE?
05:58I remember when I started my driving lessons with my dad,
06:02that,
06:03well,
06:03It was complicated at first,
06:06But as time went on,
06:07I was saying,
06:08my dad,
06:09You'll get used to it and you'll do it automatically.
06:12And it's true,
06:13TRUE?
06:14Also,
06:15well,
06:15You had to be looking ahead,
06:17backwards,
06:18everywhere,
06:19and there was,
06:20If you look closely,
06:21drive,
06:22It's a whole issue,
06:22No?
06:23You have to be on your guard in every direction.
06:26forwards,
06:27don't get too close,
06:28backward,
06:28pass the brake,
06:29the accelerator,
06:30If you have to avoid someone,
06:32You have to turn,
06:33I mean,
06:34And we do it all,
06:35automatically,
06:36We don't think about what we're doing.
06:39The same applies to the word of God,
06:42and with many elements involved in it,
06:45and one of them is the Lordship of Christ.
06:49We all say to Jesus,
06:51the Lord,
06:51it isn't true?
06:52It's a common expression among us,
06:56my Lord,
06:58my God.
07:00I would like to take it,
07:02the first part,
07:03nothing else,
07:04My Lord.
07:07What does this mean, my Lord?
07:12Because it's not just about saying "my Lord".
07:16The Gospel of Matthew says,
07:19Chapter 7,
07:20verse 21,
07:21Recognizing Jesus as Lord means total obedience to Him.
07:40And I would like to read for you,
07:41as I do on many occasions,
07:44a text that connects us to the Gospel we have read today.
07:49It is taken from the letter to the Philippians,
07:53in chapter 2.
07:56Verse 9 says,
07:57Verse 9 says,
08:00Therefore God exalted him,
08:02and gave him the name that is above every name,
08:07so that all may be before Him,
08:09the name of Jesus,
08:11bend your knee in heaven,
08:14on Earth,
08:15and in the abysses,
08:16and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
08:21for the glory of God the Father.
08:22What does this mean, brothers?
08:25What does it mean to bend the knee in heaven and on earth?
08:31The word Lord does not carry the same weight for us,
08:36It does not have the same axiological value that it had for the people of Jesus' time.
08:41The Lord was the owner,
08:45He was everything,
08:48so that if the Lord said,
08:51white, white, red, red, blue, blue, stop, stop,
08:54And if I told you, sit down, sit down.
08:57It was the Lord.
08:59And be careful that you didn't deserve it.
09:01Because now the consequences would come, to the point where they could have you killed.
09:10because He was your Lord.
09:13It was the time of slaves,
09:16And it was also the time of the servants.
09:19The servant,
09:21the only difference with the slave,
09:24The fact is, the slave was not free.
09:27The slave had been bought normally,
09:29or acquired in some way.
09:32While the servant entered the service of the master,
09:37or of the one who would be his Lord,
09:39voluntarily,
09:41and I would also voluntarily say to God.
09:45He went in to get a job,
09:47The Lord usually provided for his house,
09:50I fed him,
09:51and gave him a stipend so that he could live.
09:53The servant fared exactly the same as the slave,
10:03He had no right,
10:06But I couldn't kill him.
10:07because he had entered freely,
10:09He didn't own it,
10:12He didn't own it.
10:13The servant,
10:16however,
10:16I had to obey exactly everything the Lord said.
10:20Serve me,
10:23Serve me,
10:23go,
10:24beam,
10:24whatever,
10:25anything.
10:28That was the Lord's idea.
10:33We don't have this idea,
10:34Because that's not how our society works today.
10:39However,
10:39We need to bring the Bible into our times,
10:43in order to know,
10:45that when I say Lord,
10:46And I acknowledge Jesus as Lord,
10:50says,
10:50so that every knee,
10:51yours and mine,
10:54bow down before him.
10:56That is to say,
10:58to recognize Jesus as Lord,
11:01means,
11:03to have total obedience,
11:06and absolute to him.
11:10Absolutely obey this word.
11:16The question then,
11:19to begin with,
11:20for this Sunday it is,
11:22How much is Jesus,
11:25Your Lord?
11:27Because not everyone who says to me, “Lord,”
11:29Mister,
11:29He is saved.
11:32but the one who does what the word says.
11:38It is true that the word contains fundamental and basic principles,
11:42that are scattered not only in other religions,
11:45but in other towns.
11:50Because the Letter to the Romans says,
11:52which is truly,
11:53Well,
11:55a monument to the wisdom of God in Paul,
12:02says that God has placed in the heart of man,
12:05everything he needs to save himself.
12:07That is to say,
12:08all these values of honesty,
12:10of freedom,
12:11etc,
12:12of love,
12:13in the end,
12:14love of life,
12:15etc,
12:16It's all in our hearts,
12:18but it is becoming overshadowed by sin,
12:21because we get used to it.
12:23God has given him the name,
12:29above all names,
12:31so that in the name of Jesus,
12:33Let everyone bend their knee,
12:35in heaven and on earth,
12:38and acknowledge that Jesus is Lord.
12:44We would then have to start looking at,
12:46if we are truly acknowledging,
12:49No?
12:51It says in Matthew 28:18,
12:55which is how the Gospel of Matthew ends,
12:59says,
13:00I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth,
13:05That is why he is recognized as Lord,
13:08because the Father has chosen to place under his feet
13:11absolutely everything,
13:14to all people,
13:15to all that has been created.
13:21The Lordship of Christ
13:22It was one of the most important elements
13:26in the first community,
13:28And it should be for us too.
13:32It is to give him complete possession of my life,
13:37is to give him complete possession
13:39of everything I have,
13:41of all that I am,
13:42from my house,
13:43of my children,
13:44from my parents,
13:44of my assets,
13:46from my job,
13:48Everything belongs to Him.
13:51But we are gradually taking possession of Him,
13:54and we have to surrender it to him.
13:57It's like a conquest,
14:00It is something that Jesus has conquered,
14:03He paid with his blood for your life,
14:06for your happiness,
14:07But it requires of you and me and everyone that we acknowledge him as Lord.
14:16In other words, we are not slaves,
14:20We are not obligated to do so,
14:24If we don't want to, then no.
14:25That is why all the injustices of the Inquisition were terrible.
14:29Nobody is obliged to come to mass.
14:35nor to confess,
14:37nor to receive communion,
14:39or any of this.
14:40We do it,
14:43The one who does it,
14:44He must do it out of love,
14:47He must do it because he recognizes Jesus as his Lord.
14:51Anyone who doesn't want to,
14:53well no,
14:53Jesus said.
14:54Anyone who wants to come,
14:57Well, follow me.
14:59The one who doesn't,
15:00well no.
15:00Now, the consequences of both,
15:04Well, they will be different.
15:05No?
15:07I can go
15:08to Laredo
15:11via the highway,
15:13Or can I go it alone?
15:16or through a gap in the mountains.
15:20There is a big difference
15:21along the way.
15:24That is why I have continually insisted to you,
15:27that we are not here to save ourselves,
15:31but to live the new life that Jesus brought us.
15:35Let the salvation end, right?
15:39But what's important is life, my brothers.
15:44And I live my life with my family.
15:47I live it with my children,
15:49with my parents,
15:50with my brothers,
15:51with my friends.
15:53And life in Christ,
15:54when I recognize Jesus
15:56and his lordship,
15:58My relationship with my parents changes,
16:01because here comes a particular way
16:03how to behave with parents,
16:06and with the children,
16:07and with the brothers,
16:08and with friends.
16:10And that changes our lives.
16:13Because God made a perfect plan for us,
16:15for our lives.
16:17And it's written in this book.
16:21We can ignore it.
16:22We can choose not to come to mass.
16:26We can choose not to pay attention to the readings.
16:29We can go home empty-handed.
16:33We can choose not to give him our lives.
16:35and the lordship that Jesus deserves.
16:38It's a decision for each of us.
16:47Thomas was not obliged to believe.
16:51Said,
16:51I don't think so.
16:52And if I don't get my hands involved
16:53on his side,
16:55And if I don't put my fingers in
16:56in the nail holes,
16:58I'm not going to believe it.
16:59Well,
17:00well,
17:00What do you want me to do?
17:00buddy?
17:01And well,
17:04well,
17:04Finally, Jesus appeared
17:06and says,
17:08wow,
17:10and he gives up.
17:12It's a conquest.
17:14And in the conquests,
17:16especially about time,
17:18well,
17:18They took over the houses
17:20and absolutely everything.
17:22Everything remained
17:24under the power
17:25of the conqueror.
17:26You,
17:29brother,
17:30sister,
17:31you have put your life
17:32in the service of the Lord.
17:35Your thought,
17:37your
17:37your studies,
17:40He is at the service of God.
17:46Have you truly surrendered to him?
17:48your life
17:49to whom you say
17:51what is
17:51Your Lord?
17:53Or is it like
17:54so many other phrases
17:56stereotypical
17:57of our lives?
18:00He tells her
18:01the husband
18:01to the wife,
18:02my love,
18:03truly.
18:05You don't take it out
18:06not even to eat,
18:07not even for dinner,
18:07you don't send it
18:08not even a little flower,
18:09my love.
18:12Oh,
18:12my love,
18:13How I love you.
18:13Hey,
18:14I already know how much
18:14that you don't do
18:15the pie,
18:15the food,
18:17and whatever else you need
18:17and what he likes.
18:18I mean,
18:19These are phrases
18:20stereotypical.
18:22These are phrases
18:23that later
18:24They don't have
18:24a value,
18:25a significance
18:26deep
18:27in the heart.
18:29My Lord,
18:30my God,
18:31My Lord.
18:34Truly.
18:37What weight,
18:39what value
18:39has this
18:40in your life?
18:42Because this is
18:44truly
18:45important.
18:46Acts 2 says,
18:4736.
18:49Jesus
18:50has been
18:51constituted
18:52Mister
18:53and Messiah.
18:54God
18:55He established it.
18:57God
18:57He gave it to him
18:58this power
18:59And that's why
19:01He was able
19:02resurrect
19:03And that's why
19:04He has the power
19:05after resurrecting us.
19:08All power
19:08I have been given
19:09in the sky
19:10and on land.
19:11Jesus can
19:12do anything
19:13thing for you
19:14and for me
19:15if you don't do it
19:16because he has a plan
19:17different from yours
19:18and mine
19:18I bet you
19:19which is a thousand times
19:20better than our plans.
19:23But how do we live?
19:24bottled
19:25in our world,
19:26in our ideas,
19:27in our ideals,
19:29in our own
19:30projects,
19:31we do not allow
19:32that develop
19:33his plan,
19:34Believe me
19:35which is much better.
19:36For many years,
19:38for 27,
19:3928 years old,
19:40I had the plan
19:41to get married
19:42And I fought for Him
19:45and I worked for Him
19:47And that was
19:47my plan.
19:49But the plan
19:50of the Lord
19:50It was someone else.
19:52What I'm doing,
19:53This was the plan
19:54of the Lord
19:54And when I see
19:56in retrospect
19:57in my life
19:57say,
19:58Mister,
19:58Well, you did prepare me.
19:59just for this,
20:01in the other plan
20:02would have failed,
20:03it would not have been
20:04what I am,
20:05I wouldn't have helped you.
20:06there would not have been,
20:07not even I would
20:08so happy
20:09as I am now.
20:12Thank you
20:12that little by little
20:15through prayer
20:16and to read
20:17his word,
20:19God was helping me
20:21Give it to him
20:22your place,
20:23the place that He
20:24must have
20:25and to surrender
20:27my life,
20:29my will,
20:31my vocation
20:32so that He
20:34would drive her.
20:36That's why
20:36suddenly
20:37we have married
20:38that should never have
20:39had they married
20:40and priests
20:41that should never have
20:42had it been ordered
20:43because they didn't perform
20:46his life to the Lord,
20:48because they didn't tell him
20:49Mister,
20:50make of my life
20:50Whatever you want.
20:53The example
20:54fundamental
20:55It is in the Virgin
20:56Maria.
20:58She and José
20:58They had other plans
20:59wedding,
21:00I assure you.
21:02They were a couple
21:03wonderful,
21:03I was already telling you
21:04a bit
21:05about Saint Joseph.
21:07They thought
21:07to have a wedding
21:08like everyone else
21:09those of his time
21:10and if they were
21:12lucky ones
21:12to receive the Messiah
21:13that they never imagined
21:14that it was going to be
21:15the Son of God
21:16as if it were
21:17to come
21:18in a way
21:18miraculous
21:19or so miraculous
21:20how was it
21:21conceive
21:22of a Virgin.
21:24But God
21:25burst in
21:26in life
21:26of the Virgin
21:27and in José's
21:28and Mary
21:34he surrendered
21:35his life
21:35and he said
21:38Here it is
21:38your slave,

21:53It is the Lordship
21:57of Christ

22:00when we
22:01we read Romans
22:02Chapter 10
22:03verses 9
22:05and 10
22:06says

22:09and proclamations
22:11with your lips
22:12you will be
22:14except

22:16because with the heart
22:18it is believed
22:19to achieve
22:21mercy
22:22of God
22:22but with the mouth
22:24testimony is given
22:26to achieve
22:27salvation
22:28and the word
22:30that uses
22:31in Greek
22:31refers to
22:33upon action
22:34throughout our lives.

23:01is God
23:02He is my Lord
23:03but I act
23:05as such
23:05people
23:07He recognizes me
