00:00:00When we are prisoners of our own passions, when we are chained to our own
00:00:21Vices, when we are chained to what we have and possess, brothers, then we are
00:00:28We are truly ruined. We are prisoners of ourselves, and only Christ can come and set us free.
00:00:40Brothers and sisters, welcome once again to our virtual classroom for active evangelization.
00:00:46Jesus's main teachings now turn to the freedom that God offers us. But
00:00:52If we speak of freedom, what are we enslaved to? Who enslaves us, and how? What are we like?
00:00:58Freed? And what fruits come from this freedom? Stay with us and prepare to be free.
00:01:22Thank you!
00:01:23Thank you!

00:04:09This freedom has once again made us free men and women; this freedom develops in the
00:04:17to the extent that, just as in love we said, love when it comes into contact with the source of love
00:04:26It grows and develops, we were saying, that example, you'll remember the example of that pot that...
00:04:34Bring it closer to the fire, because the closer you bring it, the higher the temperature it will reach; this also applies to the measure
00:04:41The closer we get to God, the more love grows in our hearts, and the same happens with
00:04:48We are free to the extent that we draw closer to God and that His love develops.
00:04:55His grace and fullness are in us, and to that extent freedom is also developing in everyone.
00:05:01We, but perhaps right now you're wondering what freedom is, what am I a slave to?
00:05:11It doesn't make me free if today, in the country we live in, we can realize that we live in
00:05:19In a country with freedom, we can come and go and do practically anything we want; even more so today.
00:05:27One day you will agree with me that we enjoy extreme freedom that sometimes makes us
00:05:34It even leads to libertinism, a misuse of freedom; today there is freedom of expression for anyone.
00:05:42He can say anything in any medium and nobody is able to censor him or say anything.
00:05:48Because he has the freedom to do so, he can go, he can do, he can do absolutely everything he wants.
00:05:56We may seem like free men, but the freedom that God gives us doesn't have to be...
00:06:06These freedoms are relevant, but they are significantly affected by the freedom that God has brought us.
00:06:15Freedom from sin: God sent his only Son so that we may be completely free.
00:06:24Let us have this freedom, the freedom to be able to love, to be able to truly choose, because even though
00:06:32Right now we think we're making a choice, but the truth is we're being governed by passions.
00:06:39due to internal situations that enslave us and prevent us from truly doing what we
00:06:48We want to, and even more importantly, we must do what we should do if our parents, our siblings, and our friends are no longer alive.
00:06:58This freedom is because they don't have this relationship with God; freedom makes us men and women who
00:07:08They can truly direct their thoughts and actions toward their ultimate goal, which is to be happy.
00:07:15Sometimes marriages, families, and our society perform actions that, far from leading them to the
00:07:27Happiness, peace, and joy are being submerged in chains in dark prisons that sooner or later
00:07:37They end with happiness and even with society itself, and how could we define this freedom that
00:07:46It is freedom, well, throughout this reflection that I have made on the subject of freedom and seeing
00:07:55By observing how Jesus lived his life, I have come to conclude that true freedom is the capacity that one has
00:08:03To be able to have without holding on means having things but not holding onto them, letting them pass, having the capacity to
00:08:16Let things not imprison us, not entangle us, not chain us, and not only things, but people even more so.
00:08:27These are our ideas; the free man is the one who has ideas but does not possess them.
00:08:36He has things, but they don't tie him down; he has friends, he has a relationship with the world and with everything that
00:08:44God created, but in complete freedom, nothing restrains him, nothing manipulates him; this is true freedom.
00:08:55to have without holding on, and God is the main model of this freedom; God lets us be, God lets us
00:09:08This shows the ability to possess without holding back in its way of being with us; we are its own, but
00:09:20It gives us complete freedom, it gives us complete freedom, it gives us complete freedom so that
00:09:24Let us make and decide our own lives. Jesus has bought us and we are his, that's why I would like
00:09:33I invite you to read a short passage from Paul's letter to the Corinthians, specifically this beautiful chapter 3.
00:09:41Chapter 3, verse 22 tells us that Saint Paul, Paul, Apollos, Peter, the world, life, death, the present, and the
00:09:56The future is all yours, but you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God. Everything is ours, but we...
00:10:05We belong to Christ and he lets us be free, he doesn't manipulate us, he doesn't hold us back, he gives us complete freedom
00:10:17Because God is freedom in perfection, He is freedom par excellence, as you see in this first quote
00:10:27The book of Corinthians shows us that indeed all things are from us, we are from Christ, and Christ is from us.
00:10:34It is from God, but just as He gives us freedom, so too must we be
00:10:39completely free and give freedom to things, we could say it this way, that is to say things
00:10:46They cannot hold us back, they must not enslave us; we can have them, they are ours, he has given them to us, but
00:10:54We have to let go of them, our hands, said Saint Francis of Assisi, they must simply be
00:11:04like a channel through which water flows freely when we retain it we begin to
00:11:12Accumulation destroys social life, it destroys the life of man with the freedom that God
00:11:20Christ offers us the ability to overcome this selfishness because at the root of it all lies our own selfishness.
00:11:28Selfishness is what makes us constantly seek to possess; it is what drives us
00:11:37to accumulation I want more I want more he who has one car wants two he who has two wants three
00:11:43He who has one house wants two; he who has a bank account of x amount wants double that amount; and
00:11:50triple and we always want more and more and more and more and there comes a point when we completely lose sight of it
00:11:59that there are other people who also need what we are treasuring, what we are
00:12:06By accumulating we have what we need to live, we must then be content with it; we must have the
00:12:15The ability to let go of things we don't currently need, by letting go of selfishness, is
00:12:24the source of the impoverishment of our brothers and is destroying our own lives because it makes us
00:12:33Increasingly selfish, we become trapped within ourselves, no longer allowing us to see outwards but only inwards.
00:12:41We then cease to be free, and when man loses his freedom he has lost everything; there is no freedom.
00:12:51A more terrible slavery than that of selfishness because of the other types of slavery when a person has
00:12:59She has been enslaved and has a master who sustains her, which is constantly harassing her, for there will be no shortage of...
00:13:07whoever comes to free him, but when freedom is lost internally, when we are prisoners of our own making
00:13:16our own passions when we are chained to our own vices when we are chained to what
00:13:24We have and possess brothers, then we are truly ruined, we are prisoners of ourselves and
00:13:33Only Christ can come to free us; He has come to break the chains of sin and make us
00:13:41Free people who can choose, who can decide about their own lives, and who can then let go of everything
00:13:49That which is a burden on our lives only becomes so when man is able to let go of what he has.
00:13:59then capable of aspiring to the greater gifts, Saint Paul in his letter to the Corinthians in chapter 13
00:14:08It speaks precisely of this greater gift which is love, which we have already spoken of but cannot aspire to.
00:14:17While we are not truly free, chapter 12 of the letter to the Corinthians presents us with this.
00:14:25a community trapped not perhaps in possessions, they were trapped in their thoughts and there was between
00:14:32There was selfishness, there were divisions, there was envy because some did not have the gift of knowledge and others did.
00:14:38They didn't have the gift of speaking in tongues, and another didn't have this or that gift, and everyone wanted to have all the
00:14:44Everyone wanted to have all the gifts, but they were all trapped, and this being trapped caused
00:14:52within the community there were a number of divisions and a number of problems that were dividing them and
00:14:58He was pulverizing them, which is what Saint Paul does. He writes to them and says, "Brothers, if I had the gift..."
00:15:07I speak in tongues, but I do not have love. It would be of no use to me if I had the gift of miracles, but I do not.
00:15:15Love, well, it's not really useful to me either. Love is a supreme value, but to be able to aspire to this value...
00:15:24I need the Lord to set me free. Paul wrote to them saying, "You have to be free, everyone has their own."
00:15:32Some had the gift of healing, others the gift of speaking in tongues; in short, each one had a gift.
00:15:39In particular, you can read this text from the letter to the Corinthians, the entire chapter 12, at home.
00:15:45This refers to the problem that occurred in the community of Corinth, he says at the end of his letter.
00:15:54Verse 31 says to aspire to greater things, but we are always stuck on lesser ones.
00:16:03And the most serious thing is that sometimes we are trapped in values that are truly bland, such as...
00:16:12money because right now we have it, but tomorrow we won't have it, and since we don't have it, then we fight.
00:16:21We seize, we find a way to have it, it doesn't matter if in doing so we sometimes destroy people.
00:16:29Even among those who love each other, I've heard heartbreaking stories of families that are destroyed.
00:16:38completely due to inheritances, the father dies, the mother dies, and that harmony that existed between the
00:16:45The brothers' story ends completely because everyone wants everything, they want the house their father left behind, they want the
00:16:50money left in the bank, the land, in short, especially in families where there is more wealth
00:16:56We see how selfishness truly has a terrible power and destroys those families that
00:17:05Before, they used to gather every week around their father and mother's table, reminiscing about that most beautiful time.
00:17:11Psalm 123 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine, and your children like olive shoots around your table, for they are
00:17:20It's over, the brothers wither away completely, they never see each other again, they never speak to each other again, there are fights
00:17:27They get involved in lawsuits among themselves; it's truly terrible how selfishness imprisons us, and a person becomes a prisoner.
00:17:37Brother, a person who loses their freedom cannot be happy; they immediately lose their happiness, and if that...
00:17:48We're talking about a person who is physically imprisoned; imagine the terrible unhappiness they must be experiencing.
00:17:56the hearts of these people who are completely chained to their selfishness, their pleasures, their vices
00:18:03to their things, to their criteria that do not allow them to live in peace and serenity, and that always leave them tied
00:18:13Because of all these kinds of situations, Jesus came to free us, because the devil deceives us and makes us...
00:18:22to believe that freedom is being able to do whatever we want, that freedom is being able to have
00:18:31We believe that freedom leads to true happiness, but the devil deceives us.
00:18:39making us believe that having more things than clinging to our ideas than being able to
00:18:49to enjoy all our appetites by completely unleashing all our passions
00:18:57We will be happy and the result is always disastrous; it is the great lie of the devil
00:19:05If you recall, in Genesis we will see how the devil is truly a liar.
00:19:12He made Dan and Eve believe that by eating this fruit they could truly be free and happy.
00:19:23And yet what happened? It plunged him into the slavery of sin, it plunged him into the slavery of his
00:19:33The text says that passions, and seeing that it was rich and good to eat, they ate it, disobeying God.
00:19:44True freedom is found in doing what God asks of us; therein lies true freedom, and only in doing it.
00:19:55A free man can do what God wants; the other will always do what his passions constantly dictate.
00:20:05ordering
00:20:06Jesus said very clearly that you cannot serve money and God; you cannot have two masters; you cannot
00:20:19Serving our passions and at the same time seeking to serve God; one of the two will be in control.
00:20:26About Us
00:20:27And to whom are we going to give our freedom? To whom are we going to give our consent?
00:20:35Let's give it to God our Lord, but for that you have to be free; the devil will continually seek it.
00:20:44to deceive you and tell you no man give it free rein you are free do as you please even if in doing so
00:20:52trample on the will of God and thereby trample on your fellow human beings
00:20:57We truly need to refocus our vision on the fact that true freedom lies in obeying
00:21:08God and this freedom can only be achieved through Christ
00:21:14Only Christ is able to free us from this great lie of the devil who tells us
00:21:24that when we share we become poorer
00:21:28That's why people don't want to share; they're completely deceived and think that sharing makes people poor.
00:21:39And then they don't want to share even a little salt, we don't want to share our time, we don't want to share our possessions, we don't even want to share the word of God
00:21:52We become selfish people because we think that this impoverishes us, and this is a serious mistake; it ensnares us in the web of selfishness and thus robs us of our freedom and chains us.
00:22:09You will see that the devil is truly cunning; he leads us to an inner prison that has no exit and no light.
00:22:19Jesus, on the contrary, teaches us to let go, to share, to give; there is a text that truly explains it to us.
00:22:33practically
00:22:36how to share
00:22:38Our whole life is planned
00:22:41how we greatly bless others
00:22:44and how it is through sharing
00:22:47how the blessing unfolds
00:22:49I would like you to open your Bible to chapter 6 of Mark, where we are going to hear a beautiful story.
00:22:57of how precisely by sharing
00:23:00This is how the blessing is given.
00:23:03So they went in the boat alone to an uninhabited place
00:23:08But they saw them walk away, and many recognized them.
00:23:11They went there by land from all the villages, arriving even before them.
00:23:17When Jesus landed, he saw a large crowd
00:23:21He felt compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd.
00:23:25and he began to teach them many things
00:23:28As it was getting late, the disciples approached him to tell him
00:23:32The place is uninhabited.
00:23:34The place is deserted and it's already very late.
00:23:36Send them away so they can go to the surrounding towns and villages and buy themselves something to eat.
00:23:42Jesus answered him
00:23:44You feed them
00:23:47They answered him
00:23:49Where are we going to buy bread?
00:23:52to feed this multitude
00:23:55This would cost us more than 200 denarii
00:23:58He asked them
00:24:01How many loaves of bread do they have?
00:24:04Go and see
00:24:05When they found out, they told him
00:24:07five loaves and two fish
00:24:10Jesus commanded that they all sit down in groups on the green grass
00:24:15and they sat down in groups of 100 and 50.
00:24:18He then took the five loaves and the two fish
00:24:22He raised his eyes to heaven.
00:24:24He pronounced the blessing
00:24:26He broke the loaves
00:24:28and he gave them to the disciples to distribute.
00:24:31and he also divided the two fish among everyone
00:24:35They all ate until they were full
00:24:38and with all the leftover bread and fish
00:24:42They filled 12 baskets
00:24:45Those who ate the loaves were 5,000 men
00:24:49a few fish
00:24:53a few loaves of bread
00:24:56I would like us to emphasize
00:24:59I would like you to pay attention
00:25:01in these words of Jesus
00:25:03Look at verse 38
00:25:07Jesus asks them
00:25:10How many loaves of bread do they have?
00:25:13go and see
00:25:14Jesus is talking about going to look for
00:25:18among the food they use for themselves
00:25:23Go see how much food we have left.
00:25:26I would be saying
00:25:27And then, well, they go
00:25:30And so they find a few loaves of bread
00:25:34and a few fish
00:25:36which would most likely be the food
00:25:38lunch that day
00:25:40for the 12
00:25:41There is a little bread
00:25:43a little fish
00:25:44And well, that's it.
00:25:46They would surely have spent the day
00:25:48and Jesus
00:25:50What do you propose they do?
00:25:53Give them their food
00:25:55the natural reaction would be
00:25:58Sir
00:25:58But if we give them these few loaves of bread
00:26:01and these few fish
00:26:02We're going to go hungry today.
00:26:05What you want is for us to go hungry today.
00:26:08You see that we've come from this long journey
00:26:11We are all hungry, just like them.
00:26:14This is not enough for everyone.
00:26:16That's why we told you we would need to go shopping
00:26:19I don't know
00:26:19200 denarii worth of bread
00:26:21to feed this multitude
00:26:24And you're asking us
00:26:26that we give away our own food
00:26:30And Jesus says yes.
00:26:32precisely
00:26:34we're going to share
00:26:36the little we have
00:26:38the disciples
00:26:40who are learning to do the will
00:26:43of Jesus
00:26:44that they are learning to trust
00:26:46where you have to do what the teacher says
00:26:48well
00:26:49So they do what he asked them to do.
00:26:52and then
00:26:54He tells them, "Okay, now..."
00:26:55Make everyone sit down
00:26:57and that they settle into small groups
00:26:59And he says that's what they did.
00:27:01and then Jesus
00:27:03bless the food
00:27:05and begins
00:27:07to give rise to a multiplication
00:27:09and they get out of that basket
00:27:12breads
00:27:13and loaves
00:27:14and loaves
00:27:15and loaves
00:27:15and more bread
00:27:16and more bread
00:27:17and more fish
00:27:18and more fish
00:27:19and more fish
00:27:20that those who ate
00:27:21the text tells us
00:27:22were
00:27:23five thousand men
00:27:25That's why they said
00:27:25that
00:27:26well, not even two hundred denarii
00:27:28which is a fortune
00:27:29had reached
00:27:30to feed them
00:27:31a piece of bread
00:27:32five thousand men
00:27:34excluding women
00:27:36and the children
00:27:36was that
00:27:38It was a crowd
00:27:40a few loaves of bread
00:27:42and a few fish
00:27:44Yeah
00:27:46a few loaves of bread
00:27:48and a few fish
00:27:49that God blesses
00:27:50and what did he bless?
00:27:52mostly
00:27:53He blessed generosity
00:27:55of the apostles
00:27:57that
00:27:57they fall apart
00:27:59of his food
00:28:00that they have to eat
00:28:02but they don't keep her
00:28:03are capable
00:28:05to share it
00:28:06with this crowd
00:28:07which is the same
00:28:08from hunger
00:28:08that they
00:28:09this crowd
00:28:11that even
00:28:12He has to come back
00:28:13to their hamlets
00:28:14that we don't know
00:28:15wherever they came from
00:28:16because even
00:28:16as the text tells us
00:28:18had crossed
00:28:19the entire lake
00:28:19along one of its banks
00:28:20so
00:28:22because they would be
00:28:23hungrier
00:28:24further away
00:28:25and well
00:28:26Well, we have to give them
00:28:26to eat
00:28:27we cannot
00:28:28dismiss
00:28:28Thus says Jesus
00:28:29They're going to faint on us
00:28:31on the way
00:28:31Feed them
00:28:33sir we don't have
00:28:34of course
00:28:35There we have
00:28:36of our own
00:28:37Yes, but only
00:28:39It's a few loaves of bread
00:28:40and a few fish
00:28:41It's dinner
00:28:42tonight
00:28:43Sir
00:28:43bring them
00:28:45come on
00:28:46to share them
00:28:48and it was so abundant
00:28:50that not only
00:28:51everyone ate
00:28:52but it tells us
00:28:54that filled
00:28:5612 baskets
00:28:58certainly
00:28:59number 12
00:29:00It is a theological number
00:29:01within the Bible
00:29:02which means
00:29:03that there was enough
00:29:03for all the people
00:29:04with what they collected
00:29:06They could have given him back.
00:29:07to feed
00:29:08to all that crowd
00:29:09It was an amount
00:29:11of bread

00:29:14well
00:29:15was
00:29:16really
00:29:17amazing

00:29:22what happens
00:29:23when we
00:29:24we do
00:29:24the two actions
00:29:25that
00:29:26Jesus did
00:29:27first

00:30:47of our
00:30:48selfishness
00:30:48when we learn
00:30:50to share
00:30:50what we
00:30:51have
00:30:52when this
00:30:53blessing

00:30:56in a
00:30:57detachment
00:30:58of all
00:30:59our things
00:31:00of our
00:31:00thoughts
00:31:01so that they don't
00:31:02let's be
00:31:03tied
00:31:03to our
00:31:04selfishness
00:31:05first me
00:31:06and then I
00:31:08and lastly
00:31:09if there is an opportunity
00:31:10me too
00:31:11That's what it said
00:31:12my grandmother
00:31:13I had another one
00:31:14saying
00:31:15which is very
00:31:16common
00:31:16proverbs
00:31:17They're leaving
00:31:18doing
00:31:18because
00:31:19people
00:31:20They live them
00:31:21He uses them
00:31:21and there is a
00:31:22saying
00:31:23that says
00:31:24first my
00:31:26teeth
00:31:26and then
00:31:27my relatives
00:31:28TRUE
00:31:29let's see
00:31:30little boys
00:31:31how many
00:31:32breads
00:31:32have
00:31:33have
00:31:34only
00:31:35some
00:31:36breads
00:31:37and fish
00:31:38well, even less so
00:31:38He says good
00:31:39Let's eat
00:31:40us
00:31:40and if there's any left over
00:31:41we give them
00:31:42to the others
00:31:42five loaves
00:31:44and two
00:31:45fish
00:31:46because they wouldn't have
00:31:48achieved for nothing
00:31:49just so that the
00:31:51apostles ate
00:31:52a small piece
00:31:54of bread
00:31:55half a piece
00:31:55of bread
00:31:56and not even that
00:31:56There were twelve
00:31:57more Jesus
00:31:58and two fish
00:31:59and let's not think
00:32:01which were fish
00:32:01big
00:32:02fish, let's say
00:32:03regular
00:32:03It was a bite
00:32:04what they were going to eat
00:32:05and it turns out
00:32:06yes
00:32:08there would not have been
00:32:08shared
00:32:09they would have barely
00:32:10had
00:32:10a small
00:32:11bite
00:32:12at night
00:32:12now
00:32:13He had some left over
00:32:14twelve baskets
00:32:15all
00:32:16and so
00:32:16obviously
00:32:17They ate
00:32:17also
00:32:18the disciples
00:32:18the disciples
00:32:20They ate
00:32:20also
00:32:21until you're fed up
00:32:22great lesson
00:32:24of Jesus
00:32:25siblings
00:32:27one has to
00:32:28share
00:32:29They saw what can be done
00:32:30to do with a few
00:32:31loaves and a few
00:32:32fish
00:32:33when we
00:32:34We make them available
00:32:35of our community
00:32:36saw how much
00:32:39blessing
00:32:40there is
00:32:41when we
00:32:42we invoke the name
00:32:43of God
00:32:44and seeing with mercy
00:32:46people
00:32:47who is in need
00:32:48we share what is ours
00:32:49have understood
00:32:51Of course they understood.
00:32:54They understood
00:32:55perfectly
00:32:56good
00:32:56the book
00:32:58of the facts
00:32:58of the apostles
00:32:59presents us with
00:33:00this reality
00:33:01They had understood.
00:33:03perfectly
00:33:04good
00:33:04Listen to what he says
00:33:06the book of facts
00:33:07of the apostles
00:33:08Chapter 2
00:33:09in verse 44
00:33:11he tells us
00:33:11all believers
00:33:13They lived together
00:33:14and they had it
00:33:15all in common
00:33:16They were selling their positions
00:33:18and estates
00:33:19and they distributed them
00:33:20together
00:33:21according to the needs
00:33:23of each one
00:33:24Of course, Pedro
00:33:25I had understood
00:33:26perfectly
00:33:27Of course, the apostles
00:33:28had understood
00:33:30that tremendous
00:33:31teaching
00:33:31of multiplication
00:33:33of the loaves
00:33:33and of the fish
00:33:34and now
00:33:35they were starting
00:33:37to live
00:33:37in the community
00:33:38and they realized
00:33:40they realized
00:33:42which indeed
00:33:42to the extent
00:33:44in which they shared
00:33:45to no one
00:33:46It lacked nothing
00:33:47There is another text
00:33:48a little further on
00:33:50in chapter 4
00:33:51where it refers to
00:33:53exactly
00:33:53the same
00:33:54a community
00:33:55which is growing
00:33:56that is developing
00:33:57which is even bigger
00:33:58in chapter 4
00:34:00in verse 32
00:34:01and following
00:34:02It says the following
00:34:04listen
00:34:04in the group
00:34:06of the believers
00:34:07everyone thought
00:34:09and they felt the same
00:34:10and nobody considered
00:34:12as their own
00:34:13nothing of what he owned
00:34:14but they had it
00:34:16in common
00:34:17all things
00:34:18they did not consider
00:34:21nothing like own
00:34:22Everything belongs to everyone.
00:34:23and being all
00:34:24of all
00:34:25Everyone had everything.
00:34:26to have
00:34:27a fulfilling life
00:34:28a life in peace
00:34:29they had
00:34:32I like it a lot
00:34:33if you look closely
00:34:33the beginning of the verse
00:34:35the group
00:34:36of the believers
00:34:37everyone thought
00:34:38and they felt
00:34:39the same
00:34:40everyone had
00:34:42the same thought
00:34:44that thought
00:34:45that when I distribute
00:34:46when I share
00:34:48I am free
00:34:49and this freedom
00:34:51from my heart
00:34:52Bless my brothers
00:34:54and blesses me
00:34:55if the apostles
00:34:58in that passage
00:34:59of multiplication
00:35:00of the loaves
00:35:01and of the fish
00:35:02give free rein
00:35:03to his selfishness
00:35:03and they say
00:35:04Well, from our own thing
00:35:05We're not going to distribute
00:35:06so
00:35:08they had eaten
00:35:09simply
00:35:10a crust of bread
00:35:11of bread that night
00:35:11and a little fish
00:35:13instead
00:35:15shared
00:35:16and the blessing
00:35:16not only
00:35:17It was for everyone
00:35:18the others
00:35:18but for themselves
00:35:20the blessing
00:35:21we received it
00:35:22also
00:35:22ourselves
00:35:24the blessings
00:35:25by sharing
00:35:26not only
00:35:27They are for our brothers
00:35:28the blessings
00:35:29They are also
00:35:30for us
00:35:31And look what it says
00:35:33the text
00:35:33as it continues
00:35:34the text
00:35:35I would like you to
00:35:36in your Bible
00:35:36follow us
00:35:37accompanying
00:35:38it says in the
00:35:39verse 33
00:35:40for their part
00:35:43the apostles
00:35:44they gave testimony
00:35:45with great strength
00:35:46of the resurrection
00:35:47of Jesus
00:35:48and everyone enjoyed themselves
00:35:50highly esteemed
00:35:51there was no
00:35:52among them
00:35:53needy
00:35:55emphasize this
00:35:56there was no
00:35:58among them
00:35:59needy
00:36:01because everyone
00:36:02those who had
00:36:03estate
00:36:03or houses
00:36:04They were selling them
00:36:05and they wore
00:36:06the price
00:36:07of what was sold
00:36:08They put it on
00:36:09at the feet
00:36:09of the apostles
00:36:10and it was distributed
00:36:12to each one
00:36:13according to
00:36:13their needs
00:36:15we can see
00:36:17in this text
00:36:18as
00:36:18this freedom
00:36:20blessed
00:36:21greatly
00:36:22to the community
00:36:23the text
00:36:26of verse
00:36:2634
00:36:27at its beginning
00:36:28It's also worthwhile
00:36:29have it underlined
00:36:31there was no
00:36:33among them
00:36:34needy
00:36:36imagine
00:36:38a world
00:36:39So
00:36:39a world
00:36:41where
00:36:41not anymore
00:36:42he approached you
00:36:43that girl
00:36:44that child

00:36:52down the street
00:36:53to tell you
00:36:54Give me some charity
00:36:55there would not exist
00:36:57these people
00:36:58there are
00:37:00because we are
00:37:01selfish
00:37:02and we didn't leave
00:37:03that the
00:37:03estate
00:37:04flow
00:37:05freely
00:37:06when we
00:37:08we share
00:37:09then
00:37:10We are free
00:37:11of selfishness
00:37:12can
00:37:13detach ourselves
00:37:14with simplicity
00:37:16with simplicity
00:37:17of everything
00:37:18what we have
00:37:19the best
00:37:21example
00:37:21We found it
00:37:22in San Francisco
00:37:23San Francisco
00:37:25It has a phrase
00:37:26that
00:37:26since I read it
00:37:27has had an impact
00:37:28strongly
00:37:29my heart
00:37:30I have few
00:37:32things
00:37:33said the saint
00:37:34and the few
00:37:35that I have
00:37:36I need them
00:37:37bit
00:37:38lived
00:37:40in a freedom
00:37:41full
00:37:42perfect
00:37:43in a
00:37:44perfect
00:37:44harmony
00:37:45with God
00:37:46with everyone
00:37:47their peers
00:37:47and with all
00:37:48the creation
00:37:49San Francisco
00:37:51we can say
00:37:52what is man
00:37:53perfectly
00:37:55free
00:37:55because it is
00:37:56that
00:37:57that has
00:37:57has
00:37:58detached
00:37:59completely
00:38:00of everything
00:38:00from his father
00:38:01of his last name
00:38:02of his riches
00:38:03of their
00:38:03thoughts
00:38:05There is a book
00:38:07very interesting
00:38:09of
00:38:10the father
00:38:11Leclerc
00:38:12which is called
00:38:13wisdom
00:38:14of a poor man
00:38:15Francis
00:38:18in his last
00:38:19stage
00:38:19when no longer
00:38:21I had nothing
00:38:22apparently
00:38:23enters the crisis
00:38:25deeper
00:38:26of its existence
00:38:27had
00:38:29I had now
00:38:29that be
00:38:29free
00:38:30of their
00:38:31own
00:38:31thoughts
00:38:32let the
00:38:34work outside
00:38:34not like
00:38:35He was thinking about it
00:38:36but as
00:38:37God the
00:38:38wanted to
00:38:38can
00:38:40accept
00:38:40that God
00:38:41for him
00:38:41had a
00:38:42project
00:38:42of poverty
00:38:43and of misery
00:38:44a project
00:38:46of freedom
00:38:47sin equanon
00:38:48but that
00:38:50the community
00:38:50Franciscan
00:38:51I should
00:38:52follow a
00:38:53path
00:38:53different
00:38:54and this
00:38:55put
00:38:56Francisco
00:38:57in one of the
00:38:58crisis plus

00:41:53be able to deliver
00:41:54completely
00:41:54as I mentioned
00:41:56a moment ago
00:41:57of Francisco
00:41:57God has
00:41:59a project
00:41:59for my
00:42:00Franciscans
00:42:01well blessed
00:42:02God be with you
00:42:02It is not the one that
00:42:04I thought
00:42:04It is not the one that
00:42:05I would like
00:42:05They're not going to live
00:42:07this poverty
00:42:08extreme
00:42:08that I understand
00:42:09that we must
00:42:10of living
00:42:10but now
00:42:12I understand
00:42:12that this poverty
00:42:13extreme
00:42:14that's what
00:42:15God has willed
00:42:16for me
00:42:16but for them
00:42:18God has
00:42:19another project
00:42:20and leaves them
00:42:21at liberty
00:42:22He lets them go
00:42:23release
00:42:24your thoughts
00:42:25who tortured him
00:42:26that they did
00:42:27to be a person
00:42:28terribly
00:42:29pride
00:42:31Yes, we can.
00:42:32to say so
00:42:33in this book
00:42:34of the father
00:42:35Leclerc
00:42:36we see how
00:42:37in a way
00:42:39very subtle
00:42:39He treated me very badly.
00:42:40to the Franciscans
00:42:43no
00:42:43They thought like him
00:42:45a most holy man
00:42:47a man who lived
00:42:48radical poverty
00:42:49a man who had
00:42:51a communion
00:42:51with God
00:42:52immense
00:42:53a man who had already
00:42:54received even
00:42:55the stigmas
00:42:56for this moment
00:42:57and yet
00:42:59still
00:43:00trapped
00:43:02because of his thoughts
00:43:03selfish
00:43:04how
00:43:05it must be
00:43:06the Franciscan order
00:43:07Jesus shows us
00:43:09so
00:43:10that freedom
00:43:12It must arrive
00:43:12even to the point of being able to
00:43:14give
00:43:14life itself
00:43:16is
00:43:18very beautiful
00:43:19like Jesus
00:43:20It shows us
00:43:21this freedom
00:43:22not only
00:43:23giving us his life
00:43:24but invites us
00:43:26to let go
00:43:27even of the values
00:43:28most important
00:43:30most precious
00:43:32of us
00:43:32our family
00:43:35Jesus
00:43:38it delivers us
00:43:39to his mother
00:43:40It is a sample
00:43:42further
00:43:43of freedom
00:43:44of generosity
00:43:45in the chapter
00:43:4719
00:43:48of the gospel
00:43:49of Saint John
00:43:49in verse 27
00:43:51we see that
00:43:51wonderful scene
00:43:52in which Jesus
00:43:53it delivers us
00:43:54to his most holy
00:43:56mother
00:43:56in it
00:43:58is where we
00:44:00we found
00:44:01this consolation
00:44:02and Jesus dissolves
00:44:03her
00:44:04He gives it to his apostle
00:44:05beloved
00:44:05even the closest
00:44:07the most intimate
00:44:08Jesus did not give it
00:44:10absolutely everything
00:44:11and because it is capable
00:44:12to give it like that
00:44:13because it is free
00:44:15That's why he doesn't suffer.
00:44:17in giving
00:44:17on the contrary
00:44:19enjoy
00:44:20in giving
00:44:21the holy scripture
00:44:23he tells us
00:44:23that there is more joy
00:44:24in giving
00:44:25than in receiving
00:44:26and to the extent
00:44:27in which we
00:44:28we're practicing it
00:44:29we are discovering
00:44:30which indeed
00:44:31that's how it is
00:44:32this freedom
00:44:33It makes us value
00:44:34properly
00:44:35everything we have
00:44:36rank
00:44:38our whole life
00:44:39our family
00:44:40job
00:44:41the goods
00:44:43It all begins
00:44:44to have
00:44:45an order
00:44:46in our life
00:44:47because we are not
00:44:48tied
00:44:48nothing
00:44:49and then
00:44:49that allows us
00:44:50give it
00:44:51order
00:44:52when I have
00:44:53at first
00:44:54the most important
00:44:55It's money.
00:44:56And I'm going to work
00:44:57For this reason alone
00:44:58because it doesn't allow me
00:45:00see that
00:45:01above this
00:45:02my family is here
00:45:03and it doesn't allow me
00:45:05see that above
00:45:05of my family
00:45:06God is there
00:45:07when I am free
00:45:10I can
00:45:10to put things in order
00:45:12with an order
00:45:13appropriate
00:45:14the letter
00:45:16to the Philippians
00:45:17in the chapter
00:45:183
00:45:19in verse 8
00:45:20Saint Paul
00:45:21he tells us
00:45:21that
00:45:22he can
00:45:23precisely
00:45:24choose
00:45:25hills
00:45:26perfect
00:45:27Let's see
00:45:28what it tells us
00:45:29This man
00:45:30released
00:45:30through Christ
00:45:31says the apostle
00:45:34even more
00:45:36I think
00:45:36even
00:45:37that nothing
00:45:38it's worth it
00:45:38if you compare
00:45:39with the knowledge
00:45:41of Christ
00:45:41Jesus
00:45:42my lord
00:45:42by him
00:45:44I have sacrificed
00:45:45all things
00:45:46and I have everything
00:45:48for garbage
00:45:49just to win
00:45:50to Christ
00:45:50I mean
00:45:52all
00:45:52has taken
00:45:54your order
00:45:54first Christ
00:45:56and then
00:45:57everything else
00:45:57and compared
00:45:58with Christ
00:45:59everything else
00:45:59He already considers it
00:46:01trash
00:46:01an apostle
00:46:03dedicated
00:46:04only
00:46:05to preaching
00:46:06oh well
00:46:07here's the ideal
00:46:07It's that we
00:46:08we could
00:46:09rank
00:46:10perfectly
00:46:11Christ
00:46:14my family
00:46:15my job
00:46:17my relatives
00:46:20my friends
00:46:20and well
00:46:21everything else
00:46:22I am not
00:46:24tied
00:46:24absolutely
00:46:25nothing
00:46:26and that's when
00:46:28I am no longer
00:46:28So
00:46:29when I am no longer there
00:46:30tied to nothing
00:46:31so
00:46:32not anymore
00:46:33start
00:46:34to accumulate
00:46:34things
00:46:35said
00:46:36Saint Basil
00:46:38all that
00:46:40You have plenty
00:46:40It's not yours

00:46:46pants
00:46:48shoes

00:46:52all that
00:46:54You have plenty
00:46:54It's not yours
00:46:56because God
00:46:56has created
00:46:57everything for
00:46:57all
00:46:58Jesus in the
00:47:00Chapter 6
00:47:01of the gospel
00:47:03of Matthew
00:47:03the verses
00:47:0419 to 21
00:47:06when he is speaking
00:47:07on the topic
00:47:08of the
00:47:09wealth
00:47:10of poverty
00:47:10and dependency
00:47:11bye
00:47:12they tell us
00:47:13do not pile up
00:47:15treasures
00:47:16in this land
00:47:17where the moth
00:47:18and rust
00:47:19they spoil
00:47:20things
00:47:20and where the thieves
00:47:22They pierce the walls
00:47:23and they steal
00:47:24pile up
00:47:25best treasures
00:47:26in the sky
00:47:27where not even the moth
00:47:28nor rust
00:47:29they spoil
00:47:30things
00:47:31and where the thieves
00:47:32they do not pierce
00:47:33the walls
00:47:34nor do they steal
00:47:35because where
00:47:36There is your treasure
00:47:37There it is
00:47:38your heart too
00:47:39do not hoard
00:47:41what do you need
00:47:43two cars
00:47:44well then
00:47:45have two cars
00:47:46need
00:47:48two houses
00:47:49very good
00:47:50have two houses
00:47:51but not three

00:47:56very good
00:47:57but no more
00:47:58don't accumulate
00:48:01because the accumulation
00:48:03it fills
00:48:04of selfishness
00:48:04our heart
00:48:06and each time
00:48:07It is imprisoning him
00:48:08in a way
00:48:08stronger
00:48:09things
00:48:10They even manage to chain us up.
00:48:11and they won't let us
00:48:12do the will
00:48:13of God
00:48:14they become
00:48:15in tyrannical gods
00:48:16that destroy
00:48:17our life
00:48:18Saint Luke
00:48:20in chapter 18
00:48:22in verse 17
00:48:23to the 23rd
00:48:24Jesus warns us
00:48:26on this topic
00:48:27an important man
00:48:29he asked
00:48:30to Jesus
00:48:31good teacher
00:48:33What should I do?
00:48:34to inherit eternal life
00:48:35Jesus said to him
00:48:37Why do you call me good?
00:48:39Only God is good
00:48:41You already know
00:48:42the commandments
00:48:43You shall not commit adultery
00:48:45Thou shalt not kill
00:48:46Thou shalt not steal
00:48:47You will not give false
00:48:48testimony
00:48:49Honor your father
00:48:51and your mother
00:48:51He replied
00:48:53all this
00:48:54I have fulfilled it
00:48:55from a young age
00:48:56upon hearing this
00:48:58Jesus said to him
00:48:59You still have a ways to go
00:49:00one thing
00:49:01sells
00:49:03everything you have
00:49:04share it
00:49:06among the poor
00:49:07and you will have
00:49:08a treasure
00:49:08in the skies
00:49:09then come
00:49:11and follow me
00:49:12but he
00:49:13upon hearing this
00:49:14He became saddened
00:49:15because he was very rich
00:49:17Jesus seeing
00:49:18who was saddened
00:49:20he told her
00:49:21that hardly
00:49:23they will enter
00:49:23in the kingdom of God
00:49:24those who have riches
00:49:26It's that wealth
00:49:28us
00:49:28it imprisons us
00:49:30and it's not that the money
00:49:31be bad
00:49:32It's that money
00:49:33it creates bonds
00:49:34around our neck
00:49:36around our life
00:49:38our families
00:49:39and us
00:49:40do
00:49:41prisoners
00:49:42that we cannot be free
00:49:43this boy
00:49:45It wasn't bad.
00:49:46this boy
00:49:46I wanted to follow Jesus
00:49:48this boy
00:49:49had fulfilled
00:49:49the entire law
00:49:50but it wasn't
00:49:51a free boy
00:49:52He was a boy
00:49:54that was
00:49:55tied to his riches
00:49:57and you and I
00:49:58we are tied
00:49:59to so many things
00:50:00ask yourself now
00:50:02what am I tied to
00:50:04what is it that
00:50:05I couldn't
00:50:06leave at this moment
00:50:07What is it that is bothering me?
00:50:09at the moment
00:50:10clinging
00:50:11will be my riches
00:50:13will be my thoughts
00:50:15as I mentioned
00:50:16a moment ago
00:50:17of San Francisco
00:50:18It will be someone
00:50:20which is the one that's not working for me
00:50:21letting the gentleman continue
00:50:22what is it
00:50:24tying my life
00:50:24and that doesn't allow me
00:50:26to do God's will
00:50:27and follow the path
00:50:28of the gospel
00:50:29when we
00:50:31we discovered
00:50:31What is it that binds us together?
00:50:33we can begin
00:50:34Let's get to work on it
00:50:35we can ask the Lord
00:50:37untie me
00:50:38set me free
00:50:38I want to be fully
00:50:40free
00:50:41so I can follow you
00:50:42and be able to do
00:50:43your will
00:50:44the money
00:50:46the power
00:50:47and the pleasure
00:50:48They are the three big ones
00:50:50man's weaknesses
00:50:51that tie him
00:50:52and they tie him up
00:50:54there are people
00:50:55that are tied
00:50:55for the money
00:50:56But there are others.
00:50:57that are tied
00:50:58for the pleasure
00:50:59There are others
00:51:00that are tied
00:51:01for power
00:51:01and any
00:51:03tie
00:51:04will end
00:51:05destroying
00:51:06our life
00:51:06and life
00:51:07of the others
00:51:08as we saw
00:51:09in the passage
00:51:10of the fish
00:51:11and of the loaves
00:51:12like when sharing
00:51:14it is blessed
00:51:15all the people
00:51:17enjoy
00:51:18of a benefit
00:51:19material
00:51:20economic
00:51:21so too
00:51:23when we
00:51:24we retain
00:51:25when we
00:51:26We are selfish
00:51:28when we are
00:51:29possessed
00:51:29for the pleasure
00:51:30for power
00:51:31or by having
00:51:33instead of being
00:51:34a benefit
00:51:35for our society
00:51:36for our community
00:51:37we became
00:51:38in a curse
00:51:40for our community
00:51:41instead of blessing them
00:51:43we are the instrument
00:51:45through which
00:51:46it is being destroyed
00:51:47our societies
00:51:48starting
00:51:49of our family
00:51:50and ending
00:51:51by our civil society
00:51:53when we stayed
00:51:56chained
00:51:57They're robbing us.
00:51:58happiness
00:51:59They take from us
00:52:01the most essential
00:52:02of our being
00:52:04this resemblance
00:52:06with God
00:52:06to be free
00:52:07disappears
00:52:08and we begin
00:52:09to be
00:52:10like other animals
00:52:11simply selfish
00:52:13looking only
00:52:15our own benefit
00:52:16God has willed
00:52:18that everything is
00:52:20of us
00:52:20as we heard it
00:52:21in the letter
00:52:22to the Corinthians
00:52:23but
00:52:24this being
00:52:25of us
00:52:25It makes us
00:52:26in administrators
00:52:27since God
00:52:29He created the world
00:52:30when he told them
00:52:31look
00:52:31I give you all this
00:52:33subdue him
00:52:34manage it
00:52:36We are not
00:52:38possessors
00:52:38of things
00:52:39God
00:52:40is the only one
00:52:41owner
00:52:41of everything
00:52:42we are
00:52:43simply
00:52:44its administrators
00:52:46we can have it
00:52:47all
00:52:47cars
00:52:49houses
00:52:50money
00:52:51can
00:52:52pleasure
00:52:54but we must
00:52:55manage it
00:52:56properly
00:52:57everything is
00:52:59our
00:53:00one has to
00:53:01manage it
00:53:02properly
00:53:03It has to be done
00:53:04progress
00:53:05because conformity
00:53:07It is also a sin
00:53:09In other words
00:53:10well then
00:53:11Here I am
00:53:13very good
00:53:14And I've already given everything.
00:53:15And now I'm going to stay
00:53:16here so that another one
00:53:16keep me
00:53:17No
00:53:18if it has happened to you
00:53:19qualities for growth
00:53:21and develop
00:53:22Well, you have to
00:53:23to put them at the service
00:53:24remember what
00:53:26he told us
00:53:27Jesus
00:53:27in the gospel
00:53:28Matthew's
00:53:28in the chapter
00:53:2925
00:53:30in verse
00:53:3114 to 30
00:53:32he tells us
00:53:34this parable
00:53:35where
00:53:36a king
00:53:36gives to each one
00:53:38depending
00:53:39of their capabilities
00:53:40one gets
00:53:41five talents
00:53:42another one gives
00:53:42three
00:53:43and gives it to another
00:53:43one
00:53:44and each one
00:53:45He puts him to work.
00:53:46the first two
00:53:47and back
00:53:48one returns
00:53:49five
00:53:49and it already has
00:53:50ten
00:53:51the other one returns it
00:53:52three others
00:53:53and it already has
00:53:53six
00:53:53but to the one who had
00:53:55given one
00:53:55He did nothing.
00:53:57He went and buried him.
00:53:58And Jesus gets angry.
00:54:00terribly
00:54:01wicked servant
00:54:03and lazy
00:54:04because you haven't put
00:54:06to work
00:54:06my money
00:54:07us
00:54:09as administrators
00:54:11to each one
00:54:12has given us
00:54:13a series
00:54:14of charisms
00:54:15of qualities
00:54:15that we have
00:54:16what to put
00:54:16to work
00:54:17imagine
00:54:18if the businessmen
00:54:20that have received
00:54:21special gifts
00:54:23in order to be able to
00:54:23develop
00:54:24the industries
00:54:25they said
00:54:25Well, I already
00:54:26I have my own
00:54:27how sad
00:54:28It happens sometimes
00:54:29This little company already exists
00:54:31It gives me enough
00:54:32to live for me
00:54:33and to my grandchildren
00:54:33and to my children
00:54:34hey
00:54:35Why don't you put another one?
00:54:36no no
00:54:36a lot of problems
00:54:38so that
00:54:38better this way
00:54:39I'm going to stay
00:54:40and with that
00:54:42private
00:54:42to other people
00:54:44of having a job
00:54:45to be able to have
00:54:46wealth
00:54:47does not share
00:54:48does not distribute
00:54:50It's not a good
00:54:51administrator
00:54:53laziness
00:54:55as it says
00:54:55Saint Paul
00:54:56in his letter
00:54:57to the Thessalonians
00:54:58second letter
00:54:59to the Thessalonians
00:55:00in chapter 3
00:55:01in verse 6
00:55:02to the 12th
00:55:03it's a
00:55:04great sin
00:55:05Look what it tells us
00:55:06Saint Paul
00:55:07in your Bible
00:55:08Join us
00:55:08the text says
00:55:10Finally, brothers.
00:55:12in the name of Jesus Christ
00:55:13the Lord
00:55:13we sent them
00:55:15that they step aside
00:55:16of all those
00:55:16who lives
00:55:17idly
00:55:18and don't behave
00:55:20according to the teaching
00:55:21that we
00:55:22we have received
00:55:23They know perfectly well
00:55:25the example
00:55:26that we have given them
00:55:27because we haven't
00:55:28lived idly
00:55:29among you
00:55:30We haven't even eaten
00:55:31for free
00:55:32other people's bread
00:55:33on the contrary
00:55:34we have worked
00:55:35with effort
00:55:36and fatigue
00:55:37day and night
00:55:38so as not to be a burden
00:55:39for none
00:55:40of you
00:55:40and not because they have
00:55:42right to that
00:55:43but we wanted
00:55:44set them an example
00:55:45so that we
00:55:46will imitate
00:55:46because when
00:55:48We were with you
00:55:49we gave them
00:55:49this rule
00:55:51whoever doesn't want to
00:55:51work
00:55:52that he doesn't eat

00:55:54We have news
00:55:56that some
00:55:56of you
00:55:57They live idly
00:55:59but getting involved
00:56:00throughout
00:56:00to those
00:56:01individuals
00:56:03we sent them
00:56:04and we urge them

00:56:14sin
00:56:15need
00:56:17put to work
00:56:18the gifts
00:56:19the talents
00:56:20that God has given us
00:56:21because everything
00:56:22It's ours
00:56:22but we need
00:56:24make it grow
00:56:25need
00:56:26multiply it
00:56:27so that it is enough
00:56:28for more siblings
00:56:29multiplication

00:56:32in a way
00:56:33miraculous

00:56:47a tremendous
00:56:49inner freedom
00:56:50all this
00:56:52it takes us
00:56:53what is called
00:56:54purity
00:56:55from the heart
00:56:56purity
00:56:58from the heart
00:56:58which is having
00:56:59the capacity
00:56:59of living
00:57:00freely
00:57:01in this world
00:57:02enjoy

00:57:04to the children
00:57:04to the parents
00:57:05my car

00:57:07the much
00:57:07that I have been able to
00:57:08have
00:57:09and that God
00:57:09has given me
00:57:10with which
00:57:10He has blessed me
00:57:11a freedom
00:57:13which allows us
00:57:15to truly
00:57:16happy
00:57:18because of this
00:57:18we came
00:57:19we came to be
00:57:20happy
00:57:21but selfishness
00:57:22It enslaves us
00:57:23and sometimes brothers
00:57:25People are not happy
00:57:26because like the eagle
00:57:27that being an animal
00:57:28immense
00:57:29that has wings
00:57:31very strong
00:57:32and powerful
00:57:33if we
00:57:34we tie a small
00:57:35little thread
00:57:36on one leg
00:57:37of the eagle
00:57:38the eagle
00:57:39when it tries
00:57:40to take off
00:57:41when it gives that
00:57:42jump
00:57:42to take off
00:57:43will feel it in its paw
00:57:45that is tied
00:57:46and even having
00:57:48on its paw
00:57:49the force
00:57:50in order to break
00:57:51that thread
00:57:51and the forces
00:57:53in order to lift
00:57:54the flight
00:57:54He doesn't get up
00:57:56because it is tied
00:57:57by a thread
00:57:58There are a lot of people
00:58:00that we are
00:58:00tied
00:58:01to tiny threads
00:58:02that do not allow us
00:58:03to be completely happy
00:58:05only
00:58:06who is completely
00:58:07free
00:58:08you will be able to experience
00:58:09happiness
00:58:10and peace
00:58:11that God offers us
