00:00How are you, my dear brothers? We're back again to finally close this chapter.
00:23where we see that we have truly been the ones who decide to evangelize, who decide to be complete Christians
00:33and talk about Jesus Christ. We have to understand that our world won't easily understand us.
00:40And as the Lord says, we have been sent into a field of wolves.
00:45But we must not be intimidated; on the contrary, we must be ready to respond.
00:51And as we have seen throughout this chapter, to be meek and humble,
00:58but at the same time be cunning like the snake.
01:03And this implies always being, as we saw in our previous video,
01:11It means always preparing and updating ourselves in writing
01:15and maintain as always, because as you can see, I keep telling you,
01:22a life of prayer and a deep relationship with God and the church
01:29to have the teaching alive and active in our hearts
01:33and to always be united to the church through our priests and our bishops.
01:39In Paul's case, there would be countless times when he had to be assisted by the Spirit
01:46And as we've seen, it always turned out well, it always succeeded.
01:51For it is not we who speak, but the Spirit who comes to our aid.
01:58It is enough to be docile in this action and always live prepared,
02:02With good doctrine, with faith, and the Lord will never abandon us.
02:11He will always be with us.
02:13In many cases, everyone does, right?
02:17We seek to escape these circumstances of persecution.
02:22However, we don't realize that when the persecution
02:26It is precisely for this cause that we are persecuted,
02:32Well then, we should feel honored and not try to avoid it.
02:38Jesus tells us clearly in the Gospel of Matthew
02:42that it is truly an honor to suffer for him.
02:47Let's not shy away from it.
02:48Look at what Matthew 5 tells us in verse 11.
02:53It says, "You are blessed when people insult and mistreat you."
02:56and when they attack you with all kinds of lies because of me.
03:01Rejoice!
03:02Be happy because you will receive a great reward in heaven.
03:07For in the same way they persecuted the prophets who came before you.
03:13We can't feel bad because we're being persecuted,
03:16because this is precisely the cause of what at a given moment
03:22That is why we can feel honored.
03:27In other words, to be able to say, yes, they are persecuting me, but it is for the Lord Jesus.
03:34As you may recall, when we saw in the first video,
03:38We played a text from Matthew,
03:40which is what inspired this entire chapter.
03:43And in verses 21 and 22 it tells us
03:47that the fight will be fierce.
03:51Even our own family members
03:53who do not understand, therefore, the things of the Lord
03:58They're going to persecute us.
03:59even to the point of turning ourselves in to the police.
04:04This, without a doubt,
04:06It will test our faith
04:08And we will have to resist in the midst of this perverse generation
04:13until the end.
04:15The Book of Revelation speaks of those who washed their robes.
04:19in the blood of the Lamb.
04:22Yeah.
04:23I mean,
04:26I'm currently preparing a topic
04:29where we realize
04:32that
04:33It's a struggle
04:36continues
04:38of the Lord's army,
04:42as I would say
04:42Saint Ignatius of Loyola
04:46and Captain Jesus.
04:48I mean,
04:50It's a battle.
04:52We have Satan
04:53with his team
04:54and to Jesus
04:55with his
04:56in a continuous battle.
04:59And a great preacher says
05:01from the United States,
05:02says,
05:03and in this battle
05:04there is no
05:06as
05:06in some parts
05:08that are neutral.
05:09No,
05:10We are not going to war.
05:12Here everyone,
05:13absolutely everyone,
05:14we are involved
05:15involved
05:16in this battle.
05:17Nobody
05:18can escape.
05:20So,
05:20We have to take sides.
05:21or by Satan
05:23or by Christ,
05:25around the world
05:26or for the truth
05:27and for life.
05:30This is
05:30the reality,
05:33This is the truth.
05:36I mean,
05:37There is a great battle
05:39in faith
05:39and we have to live it
05:43and we have to deal with it
05:44and know
05:45that we are
05:46on the side
05:46of the victors.
05:48In Revelation,
05:50in chapter 11,
05:51in verse 21,
05:53He speaks to us precisely
05:54of this struggle,
05:56of this fierce struggle
05:59that we live
06:00not us,
06:01who have always lived
06:02Christians.
06:03Look at what it tells us
06:04in this verse 21.
06:07Says,
06:08our brothers
06:09They have defeated him.
06:10He's talking
06:10of Satan.
06:11They have defeated him
06:13with the blood
06:14spilled
06:15of the lamb
06:16and with the message
06:18that they
06:19they proclaimed.
06:20With that they won
06:21And they were not afraid
06:23of losing their life,
06:25but were
06:26willing
06:26to die.
06:28And this,
06:28siblings,
06:29maybe we won't go
06:30to die.
06:32I'm done
06:32to have an interview
06:33with a friend
06:34that lost
06:36who lost his job,
06:37He just lost it
06:38recently
06:38for defending
06:40the right
06:41to life,
06:44for defending
06:44no
06:45to abortion.
06:48And they chased him away.
06:50They chased him away
06:51of his work
06:52for that reason.
06:55I worked
06:55for Congress
06:56of the State
06:57and for defending
06:59this
06:59They chased him away.
07:02Willing
07:03To die?
07:04Willing
07:05to keep you
07:06firm
07:06at your house,
07:08at your job,
07:09with your friends?
07:15That's why
07:16Saint Paul
07:17he writes to her
07:18to Timothy
07:19in the end
07:20of his life.
07:21Again
07:21we collect
07:22of the second
07:23of Timothy
07:24in chapter 4
07:25some verses
07:26that are truly
07:27beautiful.
07:27I love it
07:28this ending
07:29of the second
07:30of Timothy.
07:31Says
07:31verses 6
07:34I'm already here
07:36to be offered
07:37in sacrifice.
07:38It's getting closer
07:39the time
07:40of my death.
07:42I have fought
07:42the good fight.
07:43I have arrived
07:44at the end
07:44of the race.
07:46I have kept
07:46faithful.
07:48Now I await.
07:48the deserved crown
07:50that the Lord,
07:51the just judge,
07:52it will give me
07:52on that day.
07:54And she won't give it to me.
07:54only me,
07:56but also
07:57to everyone
07:58those who with love
07:59they expect
08:00his glorious coming.
08:01That's ours.
08:05end.
08:07The glorious life.
08:09How are we doing?
08:10Playing?
08:11Well, that's how it is
08:11we're going
08:12raffling.
08:13We're living.
08:15all these
08:15situations
08:16that sometimes
08:17They are difficult,
08:17They are painful,
08:19that can
08:20finish
08:20in situations
08:21like the one I was telling you about
08:22a little while ago.
08:24Others have lost
08:25romantic relationships.
08:28The bride
08:28who doesn't want
08:29to give in to the boy,
08:30who wants
08:31things
08:32improper
08:33of courtship
08:34or vice versa.
08:36Situations
08:37that are put
08:37tense
08:38sometimes
08:38in the family
08:39due to problems
08:41that are
08:42related
08:42with faith.
08:45That's how it is.
08:48Oh well,
08:53end the confrontation
08:53if we return
08:54again
08:55to our Lord Jesus.
08:57Let's see
08:57as
08:58the confrontation ends
09:00our lord
09:02with the Pharisees
09:02making us see
09:04that if to Him
09:05They did this to him,
09:07Yes to Him
09:07They called him
09:08head of the house
09:08of Beelzebub,
09:09We just read it,
09:10So what won't they do?
09:11of us?
09:12In Luke it says
09:13that if they did this
09:14with the firewood
09:15green,
09:16Well, what wouldn't they do?
09:17With the drought?
09:18In a way
09:19that we cannot
09:21avoid
09:21this situation
09:22of persecution.
09:23if your Christianity
09:25is visible,
09:26if you are
09:26truly
09:27decided
09:28to give testimony
09:29of Christ,
09:30a lot more
09:31if you become
09:32in an evangelist,
09:34They're going to hunt you down.
09:36those from your house
09:38and those not your house.
09:40Christianity
09:40visible
09:41it is always
09:43contrary
09:43to the world
09:44pagan
09:45in which today
09:46we live.
09:47And always,
09:48especially
09:48the first Christians
09:50who lived
09:50In this situation,
09:52well everyone
09:52They were persecuted
09:53And that's why
09:55they were made
09:56the little ones
09:56Christian communities
09:58where
09:58among Christians
09:59Well, obviously
10:00true Christians
10:01and yet
10:03There was envy there.
10:06Part of nature
10:07sinner,
10:08No?
10:12We cannot
10:13expect less than this,
10:15No?
10:15We will have to live,
10:17if we really are
10:18followers of Jesus,
10:19we will need to know
10:21that they are going to persecute us.
10:22Yes ok
10:23from this
10:24We've already spoken,
10:25It is very important
10:27Let's emphasize that now,
10:29Well, who decided?
10:30not only to be a disciple,
10:31but apostle,
10:33He cannot do less.
10:34that live
10:34what everyone
10:35The apostles lived.
10:38I know this
10:39in many cases
10:40This could be the cause
10:41why
10:42We have no apostles,
10:43Yeah?
10:43I know,
10:43because nobody wants to
10:44Let them pursue him.
10:46Everyone
10:46wants to be well
10:47and beautiful.
10:47But
10:49who
10:52retracts
10:54of the persecution
10:55because it is not
10:57pursued?
10:57Who is backing down?
10:59of being an apostle
10:59because it is not
11:00pursued?
11:04Well, he's avoiding
11:05that evangelization
11:07go ahead.
11:09And do you know
11:10Why do they do it?
11:11Yeah,
11:13some out of fear,
11:15But the thing is
11:16They haven't understood
11:17the great joy
11:20of being part
11:20from Jesus' team.
11:22I hope
11:23that you understand,
11:25that you understand
11:26that you are being
11:27Today's guest
11:28to be part
11:30of this team
11:30glorious
11:31of the martyrs,
11:33of the glorious team
11:34of those who followed,
11:35They loved,
11:36they preached,
11:37testified
11:38to Christ.
11:40Must
11:41Therefore
11:41be prepared
11:42and be clear
11:44that if they are chasing us
11:46somehow,
11:48Something is happening
11:49because this
11:50that's what
11:51the generation
11:52of the world
11:52does.
11:54The wolves
11:55to those of us who have been
11:56thrown
11:56they are coming
11:57against
11:58of us.
11:59The mission
12:02opens
12:03towards us,
12:04siblings.
12:05A mission
12:06that goes beyond
12:07of what we believe
12:08and safe
12:09of what we have done,
12:12Well, I think that
12:12They haven't pursued us much.
12:15But the time comes
12:16And now is the time.
12:17when will they divide
12:19the fields
12:19and it will be known
12:20who is truly
12:21a disciple of Christ
12:22and who alone
12:24has had
12:25a comfortable posture
12:26and Christian.
12:27So,
12:28of those who go to mass,
12:29of those who cross themselves,
12:31who bring the rosary
12:32all day,
12:33but that his life
12:33It doesn't change.
12:36They pray like parrots,
12:38attend mass
12:39like a sack
12:39of potatoes
12:40thrown
12:40in a cellar.
12:42His life
12:43does not bear witness,
12:45They are not Christians.
12:46Those friends,
12:47man,
12:49those friends
12:50They will never be prosecuted.
12:52It's a comfortable life.
12:54This is how most people live.
12:55of our brothers
12:57baptized.
12:58A Christian no.
13:00A Christian always
13:02will be questioned,
13:04It will be debated.
13:07But brothers,
13:08Don't be discouraged,
13:09There's no reason to
13:09discourage us.
13:11The life that offers us
13:12our lord
13:13It's priceless.
13:16Besides,
13:16promises to accompany us
13:17until the end
13:18and send the Holy Spirit
13:19when we get stuck
13:20the cart,
13:21when we are
13:22bearing witness.
13:23Don't worry,
13:26You should cheer up
13:26and to know that it is glorious
13:29participate in the team
13:30of our Lord.
13:32We must take into account
13:34that the wolves
13:35not only are
13:36those who are
13:37in this world,
13:39but from his boss
13:40Satan,
13:41that seeks with all
13:42avoid expansion
13:43of the kingdom
13:43and therefore,
13:45with some frequency,
13:46It's coming in full force.
13:48to intimidate us,
13:49to intimidate us,
13:50so that we will be afraid of him
13:52and so that we may leave
13:53to evangelize.
13:55That's why,
13:55Saint Paul,
13:56in his letter
13:57to the Ephesians,
13:59they write to them
14:00in chapter 10,
14:02in verse 6,
14:05He tells us
14:05of
14:06be prepared,
14:09says
14:09the apostle.
14:12And now,
14:13siblings,
14:14find your strength
14:15in the Lord,
14:16in their possession
14:17irresistible,
14:18protect yourselves
14:19with all
14:20the armor
14:21that God has given them
14:22so that they can
14:23stand firm
14:24against deception
14:25of the devil,
14:26because we are not
14:27struggling
14:28against the powers
14:29humans,
14:30but against
14:31evil forces
14:33spiritual
14:34from the sky,
14:35which
14:35They have command,
14:37authority and domain
14:38about the world
14:38of darkness
14:39that surrounds us.
14:41That's why,
14:42take all
14:43the armor
14:43that God has given them
14:44so that they can
14:46resist
14:47On a bad day,
14:48and then
14:48of having
14:49well prepared,
14:50keep
14:51firm.
14:52So stay
14:54firm,
14:55coated
14:55of the truth
14:56and protected
14:57for righteousness.
14:59Always be
15:00ready
15:00to leave
15:01to announce
15:01the message
15:02of peace,
15:03above all
15:03that his faith
15:04be the shield
15:05that frees us
15:06of the arrows
15:06lit
15:07of the evil one,
15:08that salvation
15:09be the helmet
15:10that protects
15:11his head
15:11and that the word
15:13of God
15:14be the sword
15:15that gives them
15:15the Holy Spirit.
15:18Don't leave
15:18you to pray,
15:20pray and ask
15:21to God always,
15:23guided by the Spirit.
15:25Stay alert,
15:26without getting discouraged,
15:28and pray
15:28throughout
15:29the holy people.
15:31Oren
15:32also for me,
15:33so that God
15:34Give me the words
15:35What should I say?
15:36and so that I can
15:37speak with courage
15:38and thus give
15:39to get to know
15:39the design
15:40secret of God
15:41content
15:42in the Gospel.

15:52that helps us
15:53to support us
15:54in battle.
15:56The weapons
15:56has already proposed them
15:58Saint Paul
15:58in his letter
