00:00At that time the Pharisees gathered to see how they could trap Jesus with
00:09insidious questions, something they could use to accuse him. So they sent some of their henchmen along with him.
00:18with some of Herod's party so that they would tell him, Teacher, we know that you are sincere and
00:25You teach the way of God with truth and nothing scares you because you do not seek anyone's favor.
00:32So tell us what you think, is it lawful or not to pay tribute to Caesar?
00:40Knowing the malice of their intentions, Jesus answered them, “Hypocrites, why do you try to…”
00:47Surprise me? Show me the tribute coin. They presented him with a coin.
00:55Jesus asked them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” They replied,
01:03Jesus concluded, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."
01:13This week, from the Word of God.
01:16This Sunday, the Church invites us to reflect and also, therefore, to participate
01:32of the missionary theme through this convocation of the Dómon.
01:37The Word of God offers us a text that, in general, does not seem to be oriented or would not orient us
01:44directly on the subject of missions.
01:48The text we hear today from Matthew, in this chapter 22, is ordinarily more
01:53This refers to helping the community understand, from the Word of God, the obligations
02:03that we have with our government. The obligations we have, in this case, directly, the
02:09The topic of taxes, right? Well, it's an important topic, a topic that, in the
02:15that we are all involved, and especially our Latin American countries, where, well,
02:21We see that our taxes don't reach where they should, because, well, it's like
02:25So we're very reluctant to say, well, it's better if I don't pay, right? And then,
02:30Well, this text is usually used to say, no, give Caesar what is Caesar's
02:36Caesar, right? So, taxes, as Jesus rightly says today, well, they have to be paid.
02:40Right? Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's. However, this
02:46The text, therefore, does not simply stop at "give unto Caesar what is Caesar's," but also
02:52It tells us, give to God what is God's. And it's as if this text, in some way, well,
03:00We don't talk much anymore about giving God what belongs to God, because, well, it's like, well,
03:04We already know, right? Well, to give thanks to God, you have to go to Mass, right? I mean, we kind of understand.
03:10that we can centralize the topic, we can bring it towards the topic of the mass, which is what
03:18So, generally, it happens. We only think of God in a cultural context, right? Baptism,
03:27Confirmation, the Eucharist, later on, getting married in the church, and so on. However,
03:35This, as we will see today, opens up much more and has great importance.
03:42The missionary theme in this aspect of giving to God what is God's. And to understand a little better,
03:51Well, what about God? I would like to take a journey through Sacred Scripture, starting from the
03:58The Old Testament and ending with the Book of Revelation, which will help us to understand more fully, then,
04:05precision, what do we have to give to God, what belongs to Him, what do we have to give Him,
04:12Give to God what is God's and to Caesar what is Caesar's. So, let's go, I would like you to
04:19Those who bring their Bibles should open them to the first book of Chronicles, Old Testament.
04:26first book of Chronicles, and that we should go to the last chapter, which is chapter 29 of this first book
04:35from Chronicles. It's an important text, so if you have any highlighters or need to use your pen, underline or
04:48Frame this text from chapter 29, verse 11. Let's read verse 11 of this text from
05:00First Chronicles, chapter 29.
05:03It's from the historical books, it comes after Segundo and Reyes, the part about historical books.
05:16I will now read verse 11.
05:19He says, to you, Lord, greatness, power, honor, majesty and glory.
05:27See, everything in heaven and on earth is yours. To you, Lord, is the kingdom and the dominion.
05:36above all things.
05:40It seems to me, unless you have a better opinion, that it's quite clear here what belongs to him.
05:47And therefore, what would we have to give him?
05:51All of this, then, would lead us to a broad reflection if we wanted to get into specifics.
05:59in all the elements that the text presents to us right now.
06:03I would like to focus it on just two, because they are the ones that are repeated at all times.
06:09Give Him honor, praise, and glory.
06:15Three elements with which we could summarize in some way,
06:21Although it doesn't cover it, right? Because that's why all the others are there.
06:25But let us keep these three to meditate on them during our humility.
06:34Give to God what is God's.
06:37I ask you now, speaking of the subject of praise and glory.
06:46From the moment you wake up, your first thought is, blessed be the Lord.
06:52As soon as you get up, you give God what is God's, the glory and the praise.
06:58Your first moment when you become conscious is to glorify God,
07:03because it is He who deserves to be glorified.
07:07At every moment of your life, in good and bad situations, you glorify God.
07:15Blessed are you, Lord, praised forever.
07:19I give you the glory and praise you deserve.
07:23And it's something that's constantly flowing in your heart,
07:27Glory and praise to the Lord, for He deserves them.
07:31He deserves it because the power, the glory, and the praise belong to Him.
07:36Even more so if we refer it to Jesus,
07:40who has rescued us from death and brought us, says Saint Paul,
07:45in the triumphal procession, to eternal life.
07:48To you be the power, the glory, the praise.
07:52And we never tire of praising Him, blessing Him, and glorifying Him.
07:55We are giving to God what belongs to God.
08:07We live a very fast-paced life and unfortunately very immersed in the world.
08:12And few people give to God what belongs to God.
08:20And you can see that in this expression of Jesus it is clear that it is not a situation
08:27It's not about possibility, but rather an obligation for children and adults alike.
08:34Give to God what is God's.
08:40So the children, the adults, the elderly,
08:45We all have an obligation to give glory to God.
08:50Praise Him continually because He is the one to whom it belongs.
08:55To Him be the glory, the power, the praise.
08:59And we could talk about everything this topic of chronicles says.
09:02That's why I asked them to underline it,
09:04because it would be very convenient if, with the frame of reference
09:07that I am proposing to you in our meditation,
09:11They will then review all other aspects as well.
09:14that are related in this text of chronicles.
09:18There is another text that we will not be able to see directly,
09:23Because not all Bibles, only the Bibles that are a little more...
09:28They were told when it was time to change their Bible,
09:32I was telling them that there are Bibles that are more of a translation.
09:37and others that are more literal.
09:39Even the literal ones, many of them,
09:42since they are not in all Greek manuscripts,
09:45They omit it.
09:46In Matthew chapter 6, when Jesus finishes,
09:50the theme of prayer, the theme of the Lord's Prayer,
09:55in chapter 6 of Matthew,
09:59ends in verse 13,
10:02which ends like our Lord's Prayer,
10:06Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
10:11However, in many manuscripts,
10:14Not in all, and that's why it's not in all Bibles.
10:16He says, because yours is the power, the honor, and the glory,
10:20Forever, Lord.
10:23An invitation to glorification.
10:27Some assume that Jesus did not say this directly,
10:31but it was a comment
10:32or something that the community belatedly added
10:35And that is why it does not appear in all Greek texts.
10:39And Bibles, in general, omit it today.
10:43However, the Church does not omit it.
10:47It is not directly part of the Lord's Prayer,
10:51However, if you look closely
10:53in our liturgical celebration,
10:55after we finish the Lord's Prayer,
10:57The Church has set aside a special prayer to ask
11:01so that we are not disturbed.
11:04The priest prays that we may not fall into temptation,
11:09so that we may live free from sin
11:12and so that we may live free from all disturbance,
11:15which is an occasion that deals with demonic disturbance.
11:20And when we finish this sentence,
11:24then we say,
11:25For yours is the power, the honor, and the glory
11:28Forever, Lord.
11:31In other words, although it's not directly in the text,
11:34in all the texts of our Bibles,
11:36but it does appear in many Greek texts,
11:39The Church has accommodated it within the liturgical celebration
11:43as part of their prayers.
11:45So that?
11:46So that we never forget that we have to give to the Lord.
11:49all the power, honor, and glory.
11:54To you be power, honor, and glory
11:56Forever, Lord.
11:59Yeah?
12:00I would now like to talk about the subject of honor.
12:03We already talked about glorification,
12:06We already talked about praise.
12:09What can we say about honor?
12:13Certainly, when we come to mass,
12:15We honor God.
12:16When we come to mass, we glorify God.
12:23And that's the end of it.
12:29We pray to God when we present ourselves
12:33before others as authentic Christians.
12:36when our life, our words, our actions,
12:41Our thoughts honor God.
12:43How are we doing there?
12:52Do you truly honor God with your work?
12:57Do you honor God in your relationship with your neighbor?
13:01Do you honor God with your words?
13:05with your thoughts?
13:08Do we honor God with our obedience?
13:10Give to God what is God's.
13:22Give to God what is God's.
13:25Honor, glory, and praise.
13:29Not counting our own people who also,
13:34as we read in chronicles,
13:36They are his too.
13:39Notice how sometimes they insist,
13:41I said at the beginning,
13:42We dwell too much on the subject of
13:44We have to give the government
13:46And we have to give it to the government.
13:47And the government must be respected.
13:49And yes, of course, absolutely.
13:51The context is correct.
13:54But what about God?
13:57Give to God what is God's.
13:59And maybe,
14:01we had never reflected on,
14:02Well, what about God?
14:04What do I have to give him?
14:05to fully comply with what Jesus says?
14:09Give to God what is God's.
14:13And that is a topic that has been lost in our church.
14:17People do not praise the Lord.
14:20People do not glorify the Lord.
14:22People do not honor the Lord with their whole lives.
14:28His only moment to honor and glorify the Lord
14:30It's when we come to mass.
14:31And that's at half price.
14:37Give to God what is God's.
14:42The Apocalypse,
14:43Yes, stop, I was telling them,
14:45Let's take a short tour
14:47so you can see that this appears
14:48in all texts.
14:50It's in Revelation, chapter 5.
14:53in verse 13.
14:53This text from Revelation
14:55It is truly beautiful.
14:57in chapter 5,
15:12in verse 12.
15:14I'm going to read from the 11th
15:21to be a little bit in context.
15:24It's a vision he's having
15:26Saint John.
15:27says,
15:29today later in the vision,
15:31the voice of countless angels
15:33who were around the throne
15:34of living beings and the elderly.
15:37There were hundreds and hundreds and hundreds,
15:39thousands upon thousands who were saying in a loud voice.
15:42Worthy is the lamb that was slain to receive power,
15:46wealth,
15:48wisdom,
15:49the force,
15:50honor,
15:51glory and praise.
15:53and all creatures of heaven and earth,
15:57from beneath the earth,
15:59sea,
16:00I heard them say too,
16:01that is to say,
16:02Look here,
16:04It is not just the celestial choirs,
16:07not only the blessed,
16:11but it says,
16:12And I heard that all the creatures of heaven,
16:15of the earth,
16:16from beneath the earth and the sea,
16:18I heard them say too,
16:20to the one who sits on the throne,
16:22that is to say,
16:23to the Father,
16:24and to the Lamb,
16:26praise,
16:27honor,
16:28Glory and power forever and ever.
16:32That is to say,
16:33from the beginning of Scripture,
16:36until the end of Scripture,
16:39There is an ordinance from God,
16:42to restore his honor,
16:45praise and glory.
16:50Give it to God,
16:52that which belongs to God.
16:59What we are doing.
17:05And the topic is important,
17:08because if we,
17:09Look,
17:11If we do not honor God,
17:13How are we going to honor
17:17who represents God
17:19just between us?
17:23If the children
17:24They don't learn to honor God,
17:28How will they honor their father?
17:30What does God represent?
17:32How can they obey someone?
17:37who represents God
17:38What if they don't obey God?
17:41It's difficult.
17:44That's why,
17:46the text that we read,
17:48We can't just lock it up
17:50in Caesar,
17:52in civil obligations,
17:54but it has to be opened
17:58to everything.
18:02In this sense,
18:04I wish they could see
18:04a text from Romans,
18:07Romans 13.
18:10This text also
18:15it's worth it
18:15have it underlined,
18:17because it is a text
18:18important
18:19which complements
18:20what we just
18:21to say.
18:27Chapter 13
18:28develops
18:30in its first part
18:31homework
18:33of a Christian
18:34within the framework
18:36of the civil authority.
18:37And that's why,
18:41resumes
18:42Saint Paul
18:42in verse 6
18:44of this chapter 13,
18:46return to the topic
18:46from taxes,
18:48because it's a topic
18:48that I believe,
18:50Imagine,
18:50We are two thousand years old,
18:52No?
18:52Nobody likes it
18:53this topic
18:54of taxes.
18:55Even if we knew
18:56that are well directed,
18:58because nobody likes it
18:59to take from its wool,
19:00No?
19:01So,
19:01It's kind of a topic
19:03that appears
19:04already two thousand years ago.
19:06So,
19:06Saint Paul,
19:07Verse 6 says,
19:09That's why you
19:10They must pay taxes,
19:11because those who collect them
19:13They are like representatives
19:14of God
19:15busy with that job.
19:18They notice,
19:19the association,
19:21I mean,
19:21I cannot separate
19:22the topic
19:23of God
19:23and his representative.
19:25That is to say,
19:25I cannot separate
19:26Church and State.
19:29It has to be
19:30always united.
19:33And that's why,
19:33verse 7
19:34It is very important,
19:35is the one I would like
19:36that they emphasized.
19:37Says,
19:38give to each one
19:40what is due to him.
19:42To whom I pay tribute,
19:44tribute.
19:44That is to say,
19:45To whom honor,
19:45honor.
19:47To whom taxes,
19:48taxes.
19:50Whom I respect,
19:52I respect.
19:53And to whom honor,
19:54honor.
19:56What is it about?
19:57It is about
19:58to give to each person,
20:01including God,
20:03what is due to him.
20:05What Jesus says
20:06in today's text
20:07that's exactly it
20:08what afterwards
20:09Saint Paul summarizes.
20:12Give one to each
20:13what is due to him.
20:14What is the government's role?
20:15Well, give him your taxes.
20:16And honor?
20:22Well, honor goes to whomever it may concern.
20:25And who gets the honor?
20:29Also to our parents
20:30We must honor.
20:31The wife
20:34has to honor
20:35to the husband.
20:38And the husband
20:39has to honor
20:40to the wife.
20:42It's your turn.
20:43Is
20:43what he deserves.
20:46And the parents
20:47Well, they have to give it to him
20:49education,
20:50I respect,
20:51company,
20:53accompaniment
20:54to the children.
20:58That's his turn.
21:01And to the children
21:02It's their turn
21:05respect your parents,
21:07obey them
21:08on the first try.
21:17It's their turn
21:18to the children
21:19when the parents
21:20They are big
21:20accompany them,
21:23feed them,
21:25take care of them,
21:26defend them,
21:28encourage them.
21:31Give it to Caesar
21:33What belongs to Caesar
21:34and to God
21:35that which belongs to God.
21:37That is to say,
21:39It is an obligation
21:40of us,
21:41siblings.
21:42It is an obligation
21:43of us
21:44within our
21:46human sphere
21:47respect,
21:49honor
21:50to those
21:51with whom we live.
21:53The children
21:54to his parents,
21:56the parents
21:56to their children,
21:58the wife
21:59to the husband,
22:00the husband,
22:01to the wife,
22:02the community,
22:06to his priest,
22:08the people,
22:10to their rulers.
22:14This is what
22:15constitutes
22:16truly
22:17the kingdom.
22:18Give to each one
22:20what is due to him,
22:21as Paul says
22:22in this text
22:23of Romans.
22:24Bye bye,
22:26what is
22:26of God.
22:27and then
22:28It turns out that
22:29what is
22:30of God,
22:31well too
22:32It belongs to us.
22:36Because we
22:37we must honor
22:38to our parents
22:39that represent
22:41bye
22:42and obey them.
22:45And the husband
22:45It has to do with
22:46to the wife
22:47in a way
22:48in which I honor her,
22:51Because it deserves it.
22:53Because that's why
22:54He chose her
22:55as a wife,
22:55as a mother
22:56of the children
22:57and the wife
22:59honor the husband
23:00all that
23:01then we would read
23:02in the text
23:02from Ephesians.
23:07But we stayed
23:08half
23:08and we don't understand
23:11completely
23:12which means
23:13Give it to Caesar
23:16What belongs to Caesar
23:17and to God
23:17that which belongs to God.
23:20Why does this happen?
23:21this mostly
23:22among us
23:23Catholics?
23:26Because
23:27we have not been
23:28missionaries.
23:32To you,
23:34potatoes,
23:35just like it's my turn
23:36me,
23:37to you
23:37It's their turn to be
23:38missionaries
23:39from his house.
23:40When a missionary
23:42goes
23:42to Africa,
23:44to Asia,
23:45where they don't know
23:46bye bye,
23:46What are you going to do?
23:47This man
23:48Or this woman?
23:50Teach him
23:51to that community
23:52to give it to God
23:54that which belongs to God,
23:56prayer,
23:57worship,
23:58praise,
23:59I respect,
24:00honor
24:00and teach him
24:03also to that community
24:04Give it to him
24:06to each one
24:07what is due to him,
24:09that the husband
24:09love,
24:10I mean,
24:10everything it says
24:11Saint Paul
24:11in chapter 5
24:13from the letter
24:13to the Ephesians.
24:14That's what he's going to do.
24:18a missionary,
24:19to teach him
24:20to live
24:21Christianly
24:22within his family
24:24and their community
24:25because we don't live
24:26in the sky,
24:27We live in a community
24:28earthly,
24:30then we have
24:31what to learn
24:31to live
24:32among us
24:34and that requires
24:34give honor,
24:35I respect,
24:36happiness,
24:37love,
24:38etc,
24:38to all those who are
24:39with me,
24:41pay my taxes,
24:43help
24:43in the causes
24:45common
24:45of society,
24:46etc.
24:47A missionary
24:47It has to do with
24:48the human part
24:49also,
24:50We are not angels,
24:51Glory to God,
24:52Glory to God,
24:52Glory to God,
24:53hey,
24:53my brother

24:55also,
24:56I praise God,
24:57No,
24:58You have to honor it
24:59also,
25:00We honor God
25:01when we serve
25:02to the others,
25:04That's going to be
25:04a missionary,
25:07teach your community
25:09love God
25:11and to love your neighbor,
25:13Give it to him
25:15bye
25:16what he deserves
25:17and to one's neighbor
25:19what is due to him.
25:22That's it.
25:23the same function
25:24what do we have to do
25:25all,
25:27particularly
25:28the heads
25:29of family.
25:32Already from
25:33Deuteronomy,
25:34a text that already
25:35We know it well,
25:36We're not going to read it.
25:38in Deuteronomy,
25:38in chapter 6,
25:40verse 4,
25:41It clearly states there.
25:43What is the function?
25:44from a father
25:45of family.
25:47A father of a family
25:48He has to teach him
25:49to his son
25:49to honor
25:50bye bye,
25:51to glorify
25:52bye bye,
25:53to serve
25:54bye bye.
25:56It says it clearly.
25:57the text
25:58from Deuteronomy,
25:59I'm sure
25:59that they must have
26:00even
26:01already underlined,
26:02Deuteronomy 6,
26:03verse 4,
26:04and following.
26:07What's happening
26:08when a father
26:08family
26:09Isn't he a missionary?
26:11When a parent
26:12family
26:13it doesn't
26:13what today
26:14we have heard
26:15in the text
26:16Matthew's,
26:17It does not teach
26:18to their children
26:18to give it to God
26:20that which belongs to God.
26:23That boy
26:23it's going to grow
26:25like grass
26:26from the countryside.
26:30He won't know
26:31honor God,
26:32He won't respect it.
26:34He won't know
26:34glorify him,
26:36He will not honor him
26:36not with his life,
26:37nor with his words,
26:38not with anything.
26:42What does that mean?
26:42Are you going to take it?
26:46Do the same
26:47with their parents,
26:48do the same
26:49with his society.
26:51And that's why
26:51we attended
26:52to a society
26:53where
26:54There is no respect.
26:55for the parents,
26:56There is no respect.
26:57for grandparents,
26:58There is no respect.
26:59for the elderly,
27:01he doesn't know,
27:01a child
27:02today
27:02doesn't know
27:04honor
27:04in general,
27:06doesn't know
27:07honor
27:07to his parents,
27:09doesn't know
27:10honor
27:10to their grandparents,
27:12doesn't know
27:12honor
27:13to their teachers,
27:15because he doesn't know
27:16honor God.
27:19And this
27:20part
27:20from our homes.
27:23That's why
27:23the text says
27:24from Deuteronomy,
27:26What do you have to do?
27:27You have to teach him
27:28to your son
27:28to love God
27:30with all
27:31their forces,
27:32with all his soul
27:33and with all his heart.
27:36And for that
27:37You need to talk
27:38with the
27:39continuously,
27:40when you get up
27:41And when you go to bed,
27:44when you're at home
27:45and when you go
27:47on the way.
27:48You're going to paint it
27:50on the lintels
27:51of the doors
27:52from your house
27:53so that never
27:54Don't forget.
27:56Honor God
27:57with all your soul,
28:00with all
28:01your strength.
28:02Honor God
28:03at all times
28:04in your words,
28:05with your thoughts,
28:06with your actions.
28:08That's why
28:08when we honor
28:09bye bye,
28:10because our actions
28:11They have to do
28:12with our children,
28:14They have to do
28:14with our wife,
28:16They have to do
28:17with our parents.
28:19I honor God
28:20when I try
28:21My parents are well,
28:22when I help them
28:23in his old age,
28:25when I hold them.
28:26I honor God
28:27when I love
28:28with all my heart
28:29to my wife,
28:30I protect her,
28:31I'll help her.
28:32I take care of her,
28:33I defend her.
28:35I honor my husband
28:36when I have it
28:37as head
28:38of family,
28:40when I respect it
28:41And I obey him.
28:43I honor my children,
28:44I honor God
28:45when I treat well
28:46to my children,
28:47when I educate them,
28:48When I correct them,
28:49when I take them
28:50along the way
28:51of eternal life.
28:52I am honoring
28:53bye
28:54and I'm giving it to him
28:55Glory with my life.
28:59And how wonderful!
29:00which also
29:00Let's teach
29:01to our children
29:02to praise
29:03and bless God
29:04throughout.
29:05Blessed are you,
29:05Thank you, Lord.
29:06for food.
29:10That boy
29:10He will learn
29:11to depend on God,
29:13to know what God is
29:14the one who through
29:15of our work
29:16and our effort
29:17makes it possible
29:18the food,
29:19the house,
29:20the car,
29:21everything we have.
29:22Blessed are you,
29:23Glory to you, Lord.
29:25Thank you because
29:26through my Father
29:27today I have
29:28This beautiful house,
29:30this beautiful school,
29:31etc
29:33It all begins
29:34in children.
29:38The parents
29:39they have to be
29:40true missionaries
29:42And this is difficult.
29:46It's difficult.
29:47mission land.
29:49But on Earth
29:49mission
29:50which is your house
29:51You don't have to sleep
29:52on the floor.
29:53You don't have to see it
29:54if it doesn't itch
29:55a mosquito
29:55of malaria.
29:57You don't have to
29:58bear
29:59all situations
30:00of discomfort
30:01that at a given moment
30:02mission land
30:03has.
30:05It has others
30:06particularities.
30:09For example,
30:10What's happening today?
30:12in most
30:13of our
30:14celebrations
30:15liturgical,
30:18the mass.
30:20The father
30:22and the mother
30:22They are very devout
30:24attending
30:26what the Father says.
30:29While the orchard
30:30walks with the stroller,
30:35it comes and goes,
30:36is doing
30:37anything
30:38less glorify
30:39bye bye.
30:40We entertain them
30:45because I have
30:47than to come to mass,
30:47But he,
30:48He doesn't have to learn
30:49to celebrate.
30:52That's why the masses
30:53with children
30:54They don't work.
30:57Because it is not followed
30:58the instruction.
31:01And then the child,
31:02the child plays,
31:04jump,
31:04jump,
31:05He stands on the bench,
31:07It's going one way,
31:08in the end.
31:10My son,
31:13Let's go to the house
31:14of God.
31:16The child needs to know
31:17that this is the house
31:18of God.
31:19We were reading it today.
31:20in the first reading
31:21of Isaiah.
31:23The house will be
31:24house of prayer.
31:26My son,
31:26You can't be here
31:27making noise,
31:29You can't be playing around.
31:30with the stroller,
31:31you can't be
31:32eating your chips,
31:33you can't be
31:34drinking soda.
31:35It's the house
31:36of God,
31:36It's the house
31:37holy one of God.
31:40In my time,
31:43which was the mass
31:43in Latin,
31:45It was worse.
31:45the matter.
31:47Because not even
31:48I understood what
31:48I was saying
31:49the father,
31:49I couldn't even answer.
31:51Back when you were
31:52a little bigger,
31:53half approved you.
31:54Did you learn something?
31:55the dominus boviscum,
31:57TRUE?
31:57And so,
31:58What do I say, Dad?
31:58What am I saying?
31:59And if your dad
32:00knew,
32:01Well, I would tell you
32:01I had a spirit,
32:03TRUE?
32:03What would you mean?
32:04that?
32:04Who knows?
32:05But you answer.
32:08And then
32:09what were they doing
32:09at that time
32:10The parents?
32:12At that time
32:13the parents
32:13because they took you
32:14with a little book.
32:16If you were very little,
32:18with prints
32:18of little saints.
32:22Holy things
32:23in the holy places,
32:25the holy books.
32:27I mean,
32:27the child
32:28us since we were little
32:30we understood that this
32:30had to do
32:31with God.
32:34It had to do with
32:34with prayer.
32:36Who knows?
32:37what would he be saying
32:37The father?
32:38What does he know?
32:38What would he be doing?
32:39The father?
32:39I did not understand
32:40nor did I understand,
32:41But I knew
32:41that was
32:42in the house of God
32:43and that this was holy
32:44and that since he was a saint
32:46I couldn't run here,
32:47jump,
32:48talk,
32:49nothing.
32:49I was there with my dad
32:50and danger
32:51and that he would do something
32:52mess because
32:54he looked
32:58was going to appear
32:58the flip-flop.
33:01My parents
33:02they taught me
33:03to give it to God
33:04that which belongs to God
33:05and here there was
33:07to give him respect
33:08and with that
33:10honored
33:11and glorified
33:12bye
33:12in my own way
33:13as a child.
33:14but
33:15and danger
33:16that walked
33:16jumping
33:17on one side
33:17for another
33:18that would stop me
33:18on a bench.
33:22Shut up.
33:23The house
33:24of God
33:24I didn't
33:26at home
33:27from my mom,
33:28I didn't
33:28at home
33:29from my grandpa.
33:30What do they say?
33:33Can't
33:33separate God
33:34of other things.
33:36If I honor
33:37bye bye,
33:38I also honor
33:39to my grandparents,
33:40I honor the house
33:41from my grandparents.
33:44But
33:45we have lost
33:47this
33:47because we have left
33:48of being missionaries
33:49and then
33:51the dad
33:52let the child
33:53while he
33:54is complying
33:55child,
33:56Be quiet.
33:58No.
34:00Why are you quiet?
34:03I was just watching
34:03with great joy
34:05And I've seen it.
34:06on other occasions
34:06like children
34:08They're already bringing it.
34:08from a young age
34:09They bring their Bibles
34:10from here
34:11underlining
34:12the Bible
34:13from your mom
34:14Is that true for you?
34:17Do we involve them?
34:18at the celebration?
34:21We can't
34:22drop off at school
34:23by more Catholic
34:25let it be
34:25we cannot
34:26leave the teaching
34:28For example
34:29from this
34:29there at school
34:31me
34:33I'm having a fit
34:34the children
34:37fifth

34:49I have the mass
34:50with the fifth graders
34:51and then the following week
34:52with the sixth graders
34:53And so I go

34:57there is no shortage
34:59who doesn't know
35:00and what to answer
35:01but that's more or less it
35:02TRUE?
35:02Let us lift up our hearts
35:05Why don't they know the answer?
35:13Whose obligation is it?
35:14that those children respond
35:16We have it up
35:16towards the Lord?
35:19What about the dad?

35:40so many things
35:42Is it difficult?
35:46Yeah

37:38in a society
37:40Christian
37:41That's what it's going to do
37:43the missionary
37:44And he's going to do it.
37:45with your money
37:46with the money
37:47that you're going to put there
37:48and maybe
37:50today you say
37:51Oh

38:56nor does it give
38:57to Caesar
38:57what is
38:58of Caesar
38:58But that's true.
38:59to the missions
39:01Here you go
39:01that

39:32in criminals
39:33potential
39:34They're going to be
