00:01How are you, my dear brothers and sisters? I hope you have a life filled with love in the Lord.
00:07I am very happy to greet you again in another capsule of Knowing to Love.
00:13Today we hear from Mario in Santiago, Chile. We've traveled to this beautiful city in South America.
00:22And our brother Mario writes to us. He says,
00:24Father, when I read the answer you gave to someone, I remembered that Jesus said that there is a resurrection.
00:32She said this because of those who did not believe in her. And they wanted to test her with the example of a widow with seven husbands.
00:41Jesus replied that in heaven he would not have a husband, since we would be like angels.
00:47I understand that the body will continue on earth awaiting the consummation of time and that it is a great mystery.
00:53However, given the Lord's reflection that we will be like angels, my question is, how can this be possible if they are spirit?

01:50Let's continue with our teaching today with Father Ernesto María Caro.
01:54This question comes up very frequently in this text, my dear Mario.
02:02Look, one of the most important elements in order to understand the message of Holy Scripture
02:08It is important not to take it out of the context in which it was written, otherwise one can easily fall into serious errors of interpretation.
02:17If you look closely, if you have your Bible handy, the passage you're referring to is in Mark 12:18-27.
02:25And in it, Jesus is questioned about the resurrection, since the Sadducees do not believe in it.
02:32And for this reason they propose the example of the woman who married seven brothers in succession
02:37in order to prove that resurrection is not possible, arguing whose wife she will ultimately be if she was married to all seven.
02:46Jesus replies that the resurrection is real, but that there will be no marriage in the lives of the resurrected.
02:53This is the topic at hand, and it clarifies the relationship between men and women.
03:00who will at that time be like angels.
03:03Jesus is referring to the relationship and not specifically to them being, let's say, physically, like angels in the sense of not having a body.
03:14In heaven, the marital relationship as we know it will not exist, since this situation,
03:21In other words, marriage and conjugal debt only correspond to the human condition we currently live in.
03:28In conclusion, we will say that in the resurrection we will have a glorified body, like that of Jesus.
03:36But our relationship with each other, between man and woman, will no longer obey the patterns of marriage,
03:42but we will love each other perfectly and totally as God loves us.
03:48I hope this answer has resolved your question.
03:51And well, we have a little bit of time left in this segment and I would like to talk now about a topic that has to do with babies who die.
04:00There is a question that María Fernanda from Ensenada, Baja California asks us.
04:05She asks us,
04:07Father Ernesto, I wanted to ask you about a topic that keeps going around in my head.
04:14I hope you can help me.
04:16My little niece died a few days ago when she was only 23 days old.
04:19She was born prematurely and had last-minute complications, and well, what happened was what God intended.
04:25The serious problem is that, with all the pain in her soul, she was not baptized.
04:31I need to know what happens now.
04:33The arrangements for his baptism were made by all his parents and uncles, but time got the better of us.
04:42I read in the Catechism of the Church that they are delivered by the infinite mercy of our Father,
04:48But I still need some words of encouragement because this issue is really getting to me.
04:53Thank you so much.
04:54Well, my dear Marifer, one question that our parents asked themselves was precisely the one you are asking me now.
05:04What about children who have not been baptized?
05:07Will they be saved?
05:09Or what happens to them since they die without having received baptism, and therefore, with original sin?
05:15This question led our predecessors, given this premise and the fact that theology had not progressed as it has today,
05:23to believe that there was a place where unbaptized children went,
05:27Since they have original sin, they could not enter heaven.
05:33However, since they have no personal sins, they cannot go to hell.
05:38This resulted in the belief in a place called Limbo,
05:43which would be a place without glory or shame destined for infants who die without baptism.
05:50Today theology provides us with some very important information that has led the church
05:55to better understand the mystery of God, as well as of man and his ultimate end.
06:00If you agree, my dear sister, we will continue with your question in our next catechesis.
06:07I send you greetings and greetings to all our other brothers.
06:10May our Blessed Mother help you to heal and help our brothers and sisters.
06:14who have had this experience of losing a baby,
06:17May it help them all to heal their hearts and have peace in their hearts.
06:23I believe our next catechesis will help them a lot.
06:27Until next time. Blessings.
06:30Blessings.
