00:00You have to turn off your cell phone, it's not like if they call me, forget it, I tell them a lot of things.
00:19People, 30 years ago there were no cell phones and if someone needed you, they would come to your house
00:29Or I don't know, if it was something urgent, but today we're glued to our phones, checking our text messages.
00:35We are going to put aside the computer, the television, the radio if we truly
00:40We want to have a true life of prayer.
00:46Welcome to our virtual classroom for active evangelization. To conclude the 333rd prayer, in
00:53In our session today we will enter the spiritual battlefield with firmness and tenacity.
00:59Where we will face the three most common obstacles that stand in the way of not
01:04Let us carry out our prayer with God. The first obstacle we will analyze is the
01:09Lack of motivation to pray, laziness. The second enemy to overcome is sleep. And finally,
01:16Distraction. Pay attention to this transcendental teaching that Father Ernesto Caro gives us.
01:22will share.

02:34Thank you.
02:35How are you, dear brothers and sisters?
02:36Welcome back to our fundamental evangelization course.
02:40We have been discussing this very interesting topic in recent weeks.
02:46of prayer. It is one of the great teachings that Jesus left us and it is important
02:51that we not only know, but also have tools, have elements that allow us to develop this life of prayer within ourselves.
03:02Without a life of prayer, our whole life stagnates; it doesn't move forward. That's why everything we've been discussing regarding prayer is so important.
03:13Jesus spoke to us about this, and not only did he speak to us about this topic, but as we saw in our first meeting regarding prayer,
03:22He himself dedicated long periods of time, spending the entire night in prayer. These are the fundamental elements for us to develop our full Christian potential.
03:34And in this way we can, as Jesus says, avoid sin.
03:39Since it's not something we're very used to doing or experiencing, because as we saw at the beginning, we've generally only learned to pray.
03:50We don't really know how to address God, how to truly pray, how to establish full communication with Him.
03:59That is why I have proposed to you throughout these meetings some simple elements, some easy elements that will allow us to develop our prayer.
04:11And that is why, throughout these meetings, I have spoken to you about the three, three, three of prayer.
04:19The three moments, the three times, and the three main difficulties.
04:25We first saw the three moments.
04:27We will remember that we tried to divide our prayer into three different moments.
04:33A first moment to praise God, a second moment to ask God, and a third moment to give thanks.
04:41And these three get mixed up.
04:44I begin by praising, then I give thanks, then I return to praising again, then I ask the Lord again.
04:50When I am asking, I remember that he already gave to me, and I thank him.
04:52In short, I manage these three moments in such a way that I enrich my prayer.
05:00When we can do this in an alternating way, we see how our prayer begins to grow, it begins to be enriched and it begins to be a wonderful moment in which we are in the presence of God.
05:17But we also talked about the three times of prayer.
05:22We talk about a time to talk, a time to listen, and finally a time for love.
05:30In this way we are also managing now, not only three different moments, but now that in this first time of prayer I dedicate myself to praising, I dedicate myself to asking, I dedicate myself to glorifying the Lord,
05:46I dedicate myself to this wonderful moment in which I express my whole being, my needs, my taste, my joy, and then my whole heart expands towards Him.
06:00But let us remember that we had said that prayer is also a dialogue, or rather, it is essentially a dialogue, something that we are not very used to doing.
06:13So now we also need to learn to listen to the Lord.
06:19So now there is a moment when I hear God.
06:24I already spoke, but now I'm giving Him some time.
06:28I'm going to listen to it now.
06:30And we saw the different ways God communicates with us, primarily through his word, through our brothers and sisters, and through events.
06:41All of this is the word of God that we, at the moment of prayer, begin to understand, to comprehend many of the elements of our lives.
06:52God is speaking to our hearts.
06:55There are three fundamental moments and three fundamental times.
06:59A third time, we were saying, is also a time for love, where it would seem that God is silent and so are we.
07:09And yet, we could say that it is a time of high communication.
07:14We compared it to couples in love, like in the moments of the hug, in the moment when they kiss.
07:20It would seem that there is no communication, because we generally think that the only communication we can have
07:27It is verbal communication, and that is simply one part of communication.
07:33Intimate, affectionate, internal communication from the heart is the most effective.
07:39It's a mystery how it's done.
07:41However, it is there, at this moment, that communication reaches its full potential.
07:47You will recall that we quoted Saint John of the Cross, who said, at that moment, it would be as if silence spoke.
07:56He said, he is entering into this sonorous solitude, where God makes his presence felt.
08:01Where I hear his voice, not in the way we normally do, but through affections.
08:08Through that loving feeling that develops between two lovers.
08:14And well, now it's time to talk about the three major obstacles in the life of prayer.
08:22There is more to it than that, certainly.
08:26We'll look at it later.
08:28But today I would like to propose these three to you.
08:32I think they are the most important in our prayer life.
08:35And if we manage to save them, if we know they exist and see how we can get rid of them,
08:44By facing them in order to overcome them, we will have a very, very beautiful relationship with God.
08:50Remember that the enemy wants to discourage us from praying.
08:57And that's why I've grouped a good number of them into these three obstacles.
09:05The three obstacles that seem to me to be the most important would be laziness, sleepiness, and distraction.
09:14Let's talk first about laziness.
09:16Now, laziness essentially refers to that reluctance to pray.
09:23Oh, praying is such a chore!
09:26We all feel lazy.
09:28It's something we're not used to doing.
09:31We are also lazy because, since we are not used to hearing God,
09:37Suddenly it seems to us that all this is a meaningless monologue.
09:41I begin by praising, blessing, and glorifying you, but who am I talking to?
09:45It seems like I'm talking to nothing.
09:48And then, since I am not used to listening to the Lord, it seems to me that no one is speaking to me.
09:54And then I open the Bible, I start to read, I don't seem to understand,
10:00I'm starting to get discouraged, I'm feeling lazy.
10:05Also, what are the best hours?
10:08People say they don't have time to pray.
10:12Nobody has time to pray.
10:15You have to get up much earlier or go to bed much later.
10:19Time for prayer is a time that you have to create.
10:24It doesn't exist.
10:27And these kinds of problems, especially this initial laziness,
10:31It will have a lot to do with when you decide to pray.
10:36At the beginning of the path of prayer,
10:38We are going to face a major problem with laziness.
10:42Because we still haven't made progress on the issue of discipline.
10:46What will we play, God willing, at our next meeting?
10:50You're not used to it.
10:53And then, oh, what a drag!
10:56Because you have to get up earlier,
10:58Because I can assure you of that for the rest of the day,
11:01You won't find time to pray.
11:05Because all day long, as I was saying earlier in this story, it's true.
11:09We are going through a very complicated time,
11:12full of many activities.
11:14That's why you need to get up earlier.
11:20So, let's start with 15 minutes.
11:23If I normally get up at 6,
11:26I'm going to have to get up at 5:45.
11:29How boring, right?
11:31How boring!
11:33It's about reducing the time you spend sleeping.
11:36It's about reducing the time you spend on activities you enjoy.
11:40And here I would like to make a brief digression because I think it's important.
11:46Sometimes we want to take time away from other people.
11:51It's not your time.
11:54I remember a friend who said that he would arrive at his office and tell his secretary,
12:00for the next 30 minutes do not disturb me.
12:03And I said, and at that moment I dedicate myself to praying.
12:07I was telling you, brother,
12:09Are you stealing from your company?
12:11Those 30 minutes are not yours.
12:14Those 30 minutes belong to your company.
12:17You have to get up 30 minutes earlier to dedicate them to the Lord.
12:23Isn't it fair to take 30 minutes from your company?
12:26Another one told me, no, well, I get home and lock myself in for 30 minutes to pray.
12:34And I would say to him, "And your wife?"
12:35And your children?
12:36It's not your time.
12:38That time is time your wife needs.
12:43It's not your time, it's her time.
12:45And then it's time for your children.
12:47And it's time to share.
12:49Take time away from your time.
12:52Well, I like going to football matches.
12:53Well then, don't go to the football match.
12:55And then, yes, now yes, go pray instead of watching football.
12:57Because that's your time.
13:00Although you will also need time to spend with your friends,
13:03with your brothers.
13:05It is also their time and their time.
13:08That's why I've found in my life
13:10that the only time that is truly mine
13:12It's time to sleep.
13:16So, what do I do then?
13:17Well, I have to take time away from my sleep.
13:22Do you see where the difficulty lies?
13:24Up to this point, everything was going very well.
13:26You said, wow, and I praise, and I sing, and what a father.
13:29And one hour and two hours.
13:31And where are those two hours?
13:34Where is that time?
13:36Where is that half hour?
13:37Where are those fifteen minutes?
13:39These, then, are on your pillow
13:42that you have to remove
13:44and that you have to dedicate to the Lord.
13:48You need to make space in your life.
13:51that they be exclusively for the Lord.
13:54The devil knows very well
13:57If you don't pray,
13:59He's already won the game.
14:01He knows it perfectly well.
14:04A person who does not pray
14:05You will never see results.
14:07in his personal life.
14:09And our enemy knows that very well.
14:12And that's why it's going to be difficult
14:13our entire life of prayer.
14:16That's why today we have
14:17These are very difficult days.
14:19I have no doubt whatsoever
14:21that all this is also part of it
14:23of the long-tailed one,
14:25where he has been sticking his tail
14:26to keep complicating our whole lives
14:29and that we don't have time for prayer.
14:32If there is no prayer,
14:34There is no contact with God.
14:35And if there is no contact with God,
14:37There will be no transformation
14:38in our lives.
14:40That's why we need to take
14:42this very firm decision
14:44to start praying.
14:46And the first thing you need to do
14:48Well, it's about finding a space,
14:51a while.
14:53The opening sentence
14:54It becomes a bit tedious.
14:57Why don't you know well?
14:58How to express yourself?
15:00Because the craving is already taking over.
15:03You'll see at the beginning
15:04that you begin to pray
15:07And you say, "I'm going to pray for 15 minutes."
15:09But as is usually the case
15:10we say our mental prayer,
15:13the mind works
15:14at an impressive speed.
15:17and then in a minute
15:19You say I'm finished,
15:21I already washed,
15:22I already said thank you,
15:23I already ordered,
15:24I already heard it.
15:25I'll say in a minute.
15:29For me, an hour is enough.
15:30Sometimes it's not enough for me
15:31for the first moment,
15:34just to wash it.
15:35And people tell me,
15:38No,
15:38in five minutes
15:39I already prayed.
15:42Obviously,
15:43since you're not used to it,
15:45you don't know anymore
15:46What can I say?
15:47And then,
15:48since you no longer know anything
15:49What can I say?
15:50and sometimes because
15:51you don't know how to get back
15:53to praise,
15:54or how to ask him again,
15:56or how to listen to it,
15:57or how to be silent
15:58with the,
15:59then five,
16:00ten minutes
16:01they make us
16:01in eternity.
16:04An eternity.
16:06I lived it.
16:08I all think
16:09that we experienced.
16:11The beginning
16:11of the prayer
16:12It's difficult.
16:15It will be
16:16more difficult.
16:18The demon
16:18that knows
16:19our weak nature,
16:21who gets tired,
16:22who is bored,
16:23that gets annoyed,
16:24who finds no pleasure
16:25in talking to no one,
16:26apparently,
16:27one in the prayer
16:28He's talking
16:29with the wall,
16:30She closes her eyes
16:31and he sees nothing.
16:33It's difficult.
16:35That's why we need to take
16:36the firm decision
16:37and have faith
16:39that I am
16:40in front of him,
16:42that he promised
16:43be with me,
16:44that he is
16:45listening,
16:48even though I don't see it,
16:49even though I don't feel
16:50absolutely nothing,
16:52I know God
16:52There it is.
16:54If we
16:55We managed to win
16:56this first obstacle,
16:57our life
16:58It's going to start
16:59to work
17:00in a way
17:00different.
17:02That's why it's important
17:03that for prayer
17:04Let's not put
17:06excuses.
17:07I'm cold.
17:09It doesn't matter.
17:09It makes me sleepy.
17:10It doesn't matter.
17:11This is it,
17:11It doesn't matter.
17:12Don't put it on
17:14excuses
17:14to your prayer.
17:16The demon
17:16it will suggest
17:17about a thousand
17:18per minute
17:19so that you can say,
17:21Ah,
17:22This one is really cool,
17:23for today
17:24I'm not going to pray.
17:25I'm going to do this,
17:26I'm going to do the other thing
17:26and finally
17:27What are you going to do?
17:28You're not going to do anything.
17:31Well,
17:31because life
17:32becomes
17:33in prayer
17:33and all day
17:34Well, I'll pray for him there.
17:35No,
17:36No,
17:36No,
17:36No.
17:37The lovers,
17:38Yeah,
17:39they talk
17:40all day.
17:42Today with the
17:42blackberries
17:43and all this kind
17:44of gadgets,
17:45TRUE?
17:46The lovers
17:46They're sending them there
17:47all day
17:48little messages
17:49and text messages
17:49and text messages.
17:50But I think
17:51that nobody
17:52would get married
17:52with a person
17:53that only
17:53sends
17:54little messages.
17:57Need
17:57time
17:58long
17:59to be
18:00with the person,
18:01to see it
18:02to the eyes,
18:03to take it
18:04hand in hand,
18:05to feel it
18:05together like this.
18:07Time
18:07to talk,
18:08not what you can
18:09send there
18:10in 120 characters
18:11or I don't know how many
18:12There are things you can
18:13send it in the text message,
18:14No,
18:15you need
18:16a long time.
18:18Well, the same thing.
18:19with God,
18:19excellent
18:20that throughout
18:20of your day
18:21send it
18:21lots of little messages
18:22to the Lord.
18:24Mister,
18:24I love you very much,
18:25Oh Lord,
18:26Blessed are you,
18:27Praise be to Jesus,
18:28I offer you
18:29this moment

18:35happy today
18:36with you,

18:38along
18:38of the day.
18:40But you
18:41relationship
18:42with the
18:42will grow
18:43to the extent
18:44in which you give
18:45time
18:46exclusive
18:47him.
18:49So then
18:50need
18:50go looking
18:51as
18:52remove
18:53of our
18:54life
18:54all the
18:55excuses,

19:11only
19:11when man

19:15of prayer.
19:16Before that
19:17hardly

23:55one hour
23:58prayer
23:59only
24:01with the
24:01Sir
24:02only
24:02for him
24:03a little clock
24:0610 minutes
24:07start with
24:08small thing
24:09but put on
24:10a schedule
24:11the second
24:12difficulty
24:13that we're going
24:14to face
24:14It's the dream
24:16is a relative
24:18from temptation
24:20former
24:21It's something
24:23so
24:23at first
24:24we're going to have
24:24that fight
24:25because
24:25Okay, let's go.
24:26to have
24:26that we get up
24:27earlier
24:28or let's go
24:29to have
24:29that we go to bed
24:31later
24:31we're going to take it away
24:32time to our
24:33rest
24:34and obviously
24:34well at the beginning
24:36We're going to
24:36to resent
24:37and it is possible
24:39that gives us
24:40a bit
24:40sleep
24:41at first
24:43due to lack
24:44out of habit
24:44and as I was saying
24:46Sometimes it's a little
24:47tedious
24:47our prayer
24:48at first
24:49because it doesn't flow
24:50easily
24:51because
24:52Imagine
24:54which is like a
24:55like a wheel
24:56that has been
24:57a long time
24:58in the mud
24:59and that mud
25:01It has dried up
25:02with the sun
25:02so
25:03start moving it
25:05It's always difficult
25:06It's complicated.
25:07the life of prayer
25:08at first
25:08I always tell them
25:10to pray
25:11It's very simple.
25:12And it's really beautiful.
25:13when you already pray
25:15at first
25:17No
25:18at first
25:19It's difficult
25:20pray
25:22It's easy
25:23start to pray
25:24It's difficult
25:25so
25:27at first
25:28clear
25:29sleep comes
25:30that sometimes
25:31it is presented
25:32as a rejection
25:33psychological
25:33psychologists say
25:35that a way
25:35to escape
25:36of the world
25:37well it is
25:37falling asleep
25:39when a teacher
25:40We don't like him
25:41or a subject
25:42We don't like him
25:42Tell me if it isn't true
25:44that
25:44well
25:45It makes you drowsy
25:46You're going to a meeting
25:48You have a meeting
25:49meet
25:50which people
25:50there at your company
25:51and the topic
25:52this
25:53Absolutely boring
25:54or the person
25:55who is talking
25:56didn't you get it?
25:57good
25:57and then
25:58what's happening
25:58well then
25:59so
26:00what happens
26:00It's that it starts
26:01to give a dream
26:02terrible
26:03and you are
26:03turn over
26:05flip
26:05and you're gone now
26:06paying attention
26:07they close on you
26:08the eyes
26:09It's just beginning
26:12and it comes
26:13a terrible
26:14stroke
26:14sleep
26:16We must defeat him
26:18many times
26:19This also comes
26:20like an attack
26:21of the devil
26:22sometimes
26:23For example
26:24we have chosen
26:25the best time
26:25sometimes it fails us
26:26the schedule
26:27Of course, if you leave
26:28to put on prayer
26:29after eating
26:29well at that moment
26:32you are doing
26:32digestion
26:33And of course, your brain
26:35is occupying
26:36lot
26:36your stomach
26:38is occupying
26:39a lot of your blood
26:40what he's going to do
26:41that the amount decreases
26:42brain blood
26:43And that's why
26:44generally
26:44after eating
26:45It gives us a little
26:47sleep
26:47Imagine
26:49if at that moment
26:50He falls silent
26:52if at that moment
26:53you want to set
26:54a communication
26:55which already in itself
26:56It's a little
26:57complicated
26:58well
26:59I can
27:00practically
27:00ensure
27:01that you're leaving
27:02to stay
27:02asleep
27:03it's not
27:04a good schedule
27:05neither
27:07in general
27:07for the people
27:08It's a good time
27:09at night
27:10There are people
27:11that I know
27:12many brothers
27:13that at night
27:14They're nice and fresh.
27:15and God has granted them
27:16this grace
27:17and they can
27:18well at night
27:19make long sentences
27:20in my case
27:22well I
27:22I can't
27:23at night
27:24TRUE
27:24I arrive so tired
27:25already
27:25that really
27:26if I put
27:27to do an hour
27:28prayer
27:28I'm not going to complete
27:29more than 5 or 10 minutes
27:31if things go well for me
27:32TRUE
27:32But there are people
27:34that can do it
27:35so
27:35there are times
27:36even though you
27:37you chose
27:37the best time
27:39you put
27:40in the morning
27:41cool
27:42You took a bath
27:42You went for a run
27:43You're cool
27:44and you start to pray
27:46and you say
27:47I'm leaving now
27:48to put on prayer
27:48Because it's the best
27:49moment of my day
27:50suddenly hey
27:52it starts to get in you
27:53a sleep attack
27:54that close on you
27:55the eyelids
27:56perhaps you remember
27:58the example
27:59that we found
28:01in Sacred Scripture
28:02when Jesus
28:03I was praying
28:04And what does he tell them?
28:05to his disciples
28:06put yourselves in position
28:07also to pray
28:08perhaps you will remember
28:09that they said
28:11that they felt
28:12like eyelids
28:14they were closing
28:15sleep
28:16and that each time
28:18that Jesus was returning
28:19They were asleep
28:21He's even going to reprimand him.
28:22to Peter
28:22Peter
28:23You haven't been able to
28:24watch with me
28:25one hour
28:26And the Scripture says
28:28that they had
28:28the eyes
28:29loaded
28:30sleep
28:31the demon
28:32is the action
28:35so subtle
28:36but that always
28:37is avoiding
28:38that we
28:39Let us pray
28:39That's why it's necessary
28:41in order to be able to
28:42avoid this temptation
28:43two elements
28:45very important
28:46I was already telling you.
28:47one
28:47choose
28:48a good schedule
28:50if you choose
28:51a good schedule
28:52For example
28:52in the morning
28:53As I was saying earlier
28:53You go for a run
28:54You do a little
28:55exercise
28:56You take a bath
28:57and then
28:58You start to pray
28:59I assure you
28:59What will it be?
29:00a schedule
29:00great
29:01hardly
29:02unless it is
29:03a demon attack
29:04which will have to be rejected
29:05but you will be
29:07at a good time
29:07to say your prayer
29:08second element
29:11It is the position
29:12sometimes
29:13We have ideas
29:15wrong
29:16on the topic
29:16of the posture
29:17to pray
29:18no need
29:20a position
29:20but a provision
29:24one must have
29:25so that
29:27all positions
29:28They are good
29:29There will be times
29:30than sitting
29:32maybe
29:32a good position
29:33to pray
29:34sometimes
29:35kneeling
29:36sometimes
29:37stationary
29:38when
29:40I've had weeks
29:42very difficult
29:43very tired
29:44because the only way
29:46What can I do?
29:47my prayer
29:47it's walking
29:48because it's the only one
29:49position in which
29:50I'm not going to sleep
29:51because if I stay
29:53standing only
29:54I'm going to bed
29:56I'm not going to put anymore
29:57pay attention to what
29:58I am doing
29:59nor saying
29:59then I need
30:01walk
30:01So I say my prayer.
30:02walking
30:04on one side
30:04for another
30:05while I am
30:06praying
30:06while I'm talking
30:07with Mr.
30:08while I am
30:08listening to his word
30:10You should search too.
30:12a good
30:12position
30:13This is good.
30:15important
30:16in order to be able to
30:17hop
30:19to go
30:19later
30:20of this obstacle
30:21What is sleep?
30:23a good schedule
30:25and a good
30:27position
30:28they will always be
30:29an element
30:31very important
30:32help me
30:32so that
30:33the dream
30:34Don't attack me.
30:35and well
30:37finally
30:38the last
30:38of our
30:39temptations
30:40or the last
30:41of the obstacles
30:42to defeat
30:43is one
30:44that I believe
30:45that all life
30:46we're going to have
30:47than to fight with him
30:48until God
30:49don't help us
30:50with his grace
30:51which is the topic
30:52from distraction
30:54our brain
30:57walks
30:58at a speed
30:59very fast
31:01and we have
31:02nowadays
31:03above all
31:04a
31:05a brain
31:06that is full
31:06too many
31:07images

31:28to the radio
31:29and all this
31:30obviously
31:31it fills
31:32of elements
31:33distractors
31:34to our mind
31:36Those were the days.
31:38those
31:38TRUE
31:39100 years ago
31:40back when there was no radio
31:41back when there was no television
31:44There were no computers either
31:46people

32:17previously
32:17We live in a life
32:19too many
32:20occupations

32:37part of
32:40of modern man
32:42obviously
32:43well this
32:44It's going to bring
32:44for us
32:45a great difficulty
32:47that will take us
32:48to major distractions
32:49we need then
32:51gradually overcoming it
32:53How are we doing?
32:55to defeat
32:56this problem
32:57well then
32:59for that
33:00I would like to tell you
33:01as he called it
33:02to this topic
33:03Saint Teresa
33:05everyone as you see
33:07have suffered it
33:08from the saints
33:11all the more reason
33:12you and I
33:13she called him
33:15the distraction
33:15the crazy one
33:17of the house

33:18in here
33:19like crazy
33:20It goes one way
33:22for another
33:22and throws something at you
33:23and another
33:24And you're in the market
33:24and then you're gone.
33:25and then in schools
33:26and the child
33:27and the other
33:28and the husband
33:28and images
33:30and words
33:32and suddenly

33:34a whole speech
33:34you started
33:35giving him glory
33:36to Mr.
33:37Lord, I bless you.
33:38because you are good
33:39because you have given me
33:40a husband
33:41if she is a wife
33:42who is praying
33:43because you have given me
33:43such a good husband
33:44that helps me
33:45And speaking of
33:46of the aid
33:47to my husband
33:47I have to go

33:49and when you realize
33:50You're already in the market
33:51buying groceries
33:52that you had to be
33:55in the market
33:56You were thanking him
33:57to Mr.
33:58by the husband
33:59and the same
34:00on any topic
34:02the crazy one in the house
34:04quickly
34:04gears things together
34:05from here
34:05from there
34:06from there
34:06from there
34:06from there
34:07and mixes you
34:07and when you realize
34:09You're lost
34:10You are no longer praying
34:11How to defeat it?
34:15Well
34:16I would like to propose to you
34:17four elements
34:18which seem to me
34:19very important
34:20the first
34:21we need to remove
34:23a little bit of TV
34:24and a little bit of cinema
34:25we dedicate
34:26a long time
34:27to television
34:29obviously
34:30everyone is
34:31putting
34:31putting
34:32putting
34:32images
34:33And I'm not saying
34:34of bad images
34:36that's still it
34:37Well, worse.
34:38today we see
34:40too much violence
34:41too much violence
34:46you barely turn it on
34:47television
34:48And that's it.
34:49violence
34:50There's the news
34:50that if they didn't kill him
34:52He was run over
34:52and if there are no problems
34:53in Pakistan
34:54or in India
34:55or I don't know where
34:56worldwide
34:56There are problems
34:57high speed
34:59and today
35:00people
35:01from television
35:02because he knows
35:03that we like
35:03all this
35:04because we're morbid
35:05There they go with their cameras
35:07to film the crash
35:08to film the dead man
35:09for filming
35:10all the scenes
35:11unpleasant
35:12and we love it
35:14watch the movies
35:14from Rambo
35:15and we love it
35:16View all
35:17those movies
35:18that I call them
35:18of slaughter
35:19And that's all I have to say.
35:20those from Friday the 13th
35:22and all these
35:23where is
35:24truly
35:25a horrible thing
35:26TRUE
35:26that they shouldn't
35:27to enter
35:28in Christian homes
35:29and much less
35:30in Christian heads
35:31because also
35:32in those movies
35:33not only do they come
35:34all these crimes
35:36horrible
35:36but also
35:38come mixed
35:38with something that sells
35:40a lot of movies
35:40pornography
35:42we have been
35:44accustomed
35:44let's see
35:45the nudes
35:46above all
35:46Women's
35:47naked
35:48and what was called
35:49I remember before
35:49that they called him
35:50the bedroom scenes
35:51Before, nothing could be seen.
35:52They left it at more
35:53to the imagination
35:54But first
35:56our parents
35:57They protected us more
35:58before our governments
35:59They protected us more
36:01There was censorship
36:02I remember
36:04when I was little
36:05over there the church
36:06which I attended
36:06there was in the part
36:08from outside
36:08of the church
36:09a table
36:10with the cinemas
36:11There weren't many of them.
36:12the cinemas
36:12that existed
36:13when I was little
36:14and then
36:15all the cinemas were there
36:16the movies
36:18and then there was
36:19the classification
36:20A, B and C
36:21and well
36:23well, the parents
36:24They were checking there
36:24and they said
36:25well then
36:26this movie
36:26TO
36:27if you can see it
36:29a B
36:30as we were saying
36:32for teenagers
36:33well
36:34the term
36:36as a teenager
36:36that we say today
36:37nothing to do with it
36:38me as a child
36:39I only saw
36:40classification
36:41TO
36:42And I say small.
36:43up to age 16
36:44before that
36:47I couldn't go
36:48to watch a movie
36:49I remember
36:50a lot
36:51from the movie
36:52that she is spending today
36:53on television
36:54of James Bond
36:55Goldfinger
36:56at that time
36:57I was in high school
36:58when it appeared
36:59the Goldfinger
37:00I was in third grade
37:01and secondary
37:01would have close
37:0215, 16 years old
37:04they were going to go
37:05all my friends
37:06let's see
37:07Goldfinger
37:08and I asked for permission
37:10to my dad
37:10to see
37:10that movie
37:11and he wouldn't let me
37:13go see
37:13Goldfinger
37:14because it says
37:15It's a movie
37:16that has a lot of violence
37:17and also
37:18It has scenes
37:19that are not their own
37:20for you
37:21said
37:21These are scenes
37:22bedroom
37:23that are not their own
37:24for your age
37:25But Dad
37:25They're going to go
37:25all my friends
37:26even if I go
37:27everyone
37:28you're not going
37:29and I didn't see her
37:30I came to see
37:32Goldfinger
37:32lest it be
37:3325, 27 years old
37:34when they showed it
37:35on television
37:36and I give it to him
37:37thanks to my dad
37:38even so
37:40I struggle sometimes
37:41with all the images
37:42that are coming
37:42to my mind
37:43all over the world
37:44in which we live today
37:44before the governments
37:46They protected us
37:48before our parents
37:50They protected us
37:51today we
37:52We need to protect ourselves
37:53less TV
37:55less violence
37:56fewer scenes
37:58that they can
37:58at the moment
37:59of the prayer
37:59and in my personal life
38:00bring me items
38:02that harm me
38:03second
38:05we have to look
38:07a greater
38:07concentration
38:09for that
38:10It is important
38:11sometimes
38:12having
38:12our prayer
38:14in front of an image
38:15if I'm watching
38:16a sacred heart
38:17I am watching
38:18an image
38:18of Christ crucified
38:20I am watching
38:21some of these images
38:22that they can
38:22help me focus
38:24my attention
38:25and to feel
38:26that I'm talking about
38:27with someone
38:28Well, this is going to be
38:29definitely
38:30a great help
38:32TRUE?
38:33especially at the beginning
38:34later
38:35God makes himself present
38:37within us
38:37It's mysterious
38:38hardly
38:40I could explain it to you right now.
38:42but
38:43happens
38:44to the extent
38:45What are you going on?
38:46progressing
38:47in your prayer life
38:48you see
38:49as
38:49You no longer need
38:50both of the images
38:52or at least
38:52not always
38:53I must tell you
38:54that I
38:55even though I have
38:56many years ago
38:57on this path
38:58well still
38:59There are many periods
39:00of my life
39:01in which the distraction
39:02It returns with great force.
39:03and that the only way
39:05How can I do it?
39:06is
39:07in front of
39:08from an image
39:09that motivates me
39:09that inspires me
39:10help me
39:11to maintain
39:12some more
39:13attentive
39:13my life
39:14my attention
39:14because
39:15There are many distractions
39:17another element
39:19important
39:20is
39:21when he comes
39:22the distraction
39:23Don't dawdle
39:25in it
39:25is coming
39:27one moment
39:27in which God
39:28He's going to send you
39:29a sign
39:29What are you doing?
39:30distracted
39:30then
39:31immediately
39:32Cut and come back
39:34Where were you?
39:35because what is it going to be about
39:36of doing the devil
39:37that you explain
39:39because you're there
39:39how I got here
39:41if I was asking
39:42to my husband
39:42And right now I'm in the market
39:43And you're going to try
39:44of taking a tour
39:45backward
39:45to try to discover
39:47where did you get lost
39:48It doesn't make sense.
39:49find out where you got lost
39:51go back to where you were
39:52nothing else
39:53return again
39:54to praise
39:55to bless
39:55to glorify
39:56to ask
39:56whatever you're doing
39:58or put on a song
39:59I don't know
40:00whatever
40:00Don't go any further
40:03if you already noticed
40:04that you were distracted
40:05return
40:06immediately
40:07to your prayer
40:08and something that
40:10at least for me
40:11It has worked very well for me
40:12ask him for a lot
40:13to our most holy mother
40:14I hope this helps.
40:16to hold
40:17your imagination
40:17that at the moment
40:19wherever you are
40:20praying
40:21be she
40:22whoever provides you
40:23images
40:23images that help you
40:25that subjugate you
40:26that help you
40:27to enter
40:28in that presence
40:29loving God
40:30and not the other way around
40:32that they take you out
40:33her
40:33They are as you see
40:35items
40:36fundamentals
40:38these three
40:38that I told you about
40:40today
40:40that
40:41surely
40:42will appear
40:44or already
40:45are today
40:45present
40:46in your life
40:47We have to overcome them
40:48remember
40:50that the prayer
40:51It's a point
40:52fundamental
40:53and vital
40:54of life
40:55Christian
40:55We must strive
40:58It's not something
40:59that we may be given
41:01naturally
41:02easily
41:03but it's something
41:04in what you
41:05You have to work
41:06God will do his part.
41:08definitely
41:09because who else
41:10is interested
41:11in having communication
41:13with you
41:13even if you don't believe it
41:15It's him
41:16He's the one who wants it
41:17talk to you
41:18and the one who needs
41:20talk to you
41:22well
41:24you are
41:25the one you need
41:26talk to him
41:27that's why
41:28need
41:29that our life
41:30focus
41:31fully
41:32in a lifetime
41:33prayer
41:34if it is achieved
41:36establish
41:37a life of prayer
41:37the Christian life
41:39will be developed
41:40wonderfully
41:41and you will be able to
41:42live
41:43your life
41:43in a way
41:44full
41:45everything we have
41:47coming saying
41:48during our course
41:49these teachings
41:51fundamentals
41:52of Jesus
41:52are something
41:54vital
41:55in our life
41:56but that require
41:57of the prayer
41:58They require prayer.
42:00so
42:02unfortunately
42:03our course
42:04does not foresee
42:05at least for now
42:06in this first stage
42:07the one we can have
42:08some exercises
42:09We are preparing
42:11and in the future
42:12surely
42:13that we will already have
42:14these elements
42:15so that you
42:16together with us
42:17you can go too
42:18starting you
42:19in the life of prayer
42:20Let's leave it then
42:22until this meeting
42:23these topics
42:24that
42:25I recommend
42:26that you come back

42:30perhaps it is not
42:32very simple
42:33but

42:36persevering
42:37I assure you
42:38that if you don't let

42:41the Holy Spirit
42:42it will help you
42:43to jump
42:44this wave
42:45this wave
42:46of laziness
42:46this wave
42:47from distraction

42:51to channel
42:51in a lifetime
42:52wonderful
42:53you will begin to know

42:55which unfortunately
42:57many of our
42:58Catholic Christians
42:59they don't know
43:00the life of God
43:01it is necessary
43:03that man
43:04have this experience
43:05deep
43:06of this deal

43:24items
43:25in order to be able to
43:26us
43:27say prayer
43:28hardly
43:29a person
43:30that does not have
43:30a disciplined life
