WEBVTT

00:02.990 --> 00:06.950
In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.

00:07.830 --> 00:08.090
Amen.

00:08.910 --> 00:16.450
I entrust you with me to open your Bibles
and give a reading of the Gospel of Mark,

00:16.850 --> 00:18.270
chapter 16.

00:18.730 --> 00:24.530
Chapter 16 of the Gospel of Mark,
and we are going, in this sacred word,

00:24.930 --> 00:31.190
to give a reading of this message of our
Lord Jesus Christ, starting with verse 15,

00:31.190 --> 00:34.850
and even reading up to verse 20.

00:35.290 --> 00:37.770
Let us read the word of the Lord.

00:38.710 --> 00:47.970
And Jesus said to them, And throughout the
world preach the gospel to every creature.

00:48.790 --> 00:56.690
He who believes and is baptized will be
saved, but he who does not believe will be

00:56.690 --> 00:57.530
condemned.

00:57.530 --> 01:01.410
And these signs will follow those who
believe.

01:01.970 --> 01:09.330
In my name they will cast out demons,
speak new tongues, remove snakes,

01:09.790 --> 01:14.050
and if they drink deadly things,
it will not harm them.

01:14.670 --> 01:18.230
They will put their hands on the sick and
they will be healed.

01:19.370 --> 01:27.690
And the Lord, after he spoke to them,
was received up in heaven, and he went to

01:27.690 --> 01:29.290
the right hand of God.

01:30.190 --> 01:39.110
And they went out and preached everywhere,
working with them the Lord, and confirming

01:39.110 --> 01:42.790
the word with the signs that followed.

01:43.390 --> 01:43.690
Amen.

01:44.490 --> 01:50.670
This is, there is no doubt, the best
introduction that one could imagine,

01:51.530 --> 01:57.230
because it is this introduction that gives
us to understand and know better,

01:57.830 --> 02:06.830
that we are not basing ourselves in any
tradition, in any religious experience,

02:06.830 --> 02:20.710
and neither in any philosophy or art of
man, in any religion of human foundation.

02:21.810 --> 02:27.810
This, even if we talk about religion,
is not even the product of the religion

02:27.810 --> 02:32.790
that the Apostle Santiago speaks to us,
in terms of our conduct within

02:32.790 --> 02:33.590
Christianity.

02:33.590 --> 02:34.890
This is.

02:35.410 --> 02:42.730
That is why I recommend to you,
even, to do what the Lord Jesus did,

02:43.170 --> 02:46.190
and what I had to do, in my own religious
experience.

02:46.550 --> 02:51.510
I say I had to do, because there was no
other alternative, at least healthy,

02:51.750 --> 02:53.590
healthy and eternal.

02:53.590 --> 03:04.510
And it is to entrust myself to the Holy
Scripture as the only source of divine

03:04.510 --> 03:04.510
revelation.

03:05.850 --> 03:11.610
Jesus himself, in his own time,
in his own ministry, spoke to us about

03:11.610 --> 03:11.830
this.

03:12.590 --> 03:18.290
He spoke to us, through his own
ministerial experience, among the

03:18.290 --> 03:20.090
religious of his time, in this way.

03:20.090 --> 03:40.530
He says, In other words, aside from this
sacred word, there is nothing,

03:41.260 --> 03:46.590
there will not exist, there has not
existed, anything that gives testimony of

03:46.590 --> 03:52.370
Jesus Christ, outside of the word of God,
the Holy Scripture, the Bible.

03:55.210 --> 04:00.670
Contrary to my own personal experience,
as a Catholic and Roman Catholic priest of

04:00.670 --> 04:06.090
the Jesuit order, my experience was the
complete opposite of this divine

04:06.090 --> 04:08.910
revelation, to this admonition of Christ.

04:10.530 --> 04:15.990
For me, the testimony of Jesus Christ,
was not enclosed in the Scriptures,

04:16.270 --> 04:21.950
as Christ himself divinely decrees,
and admonishes the apostles, not only,

04:22.210 --> 04:27.610
but the religious of his time,
aside from what they felt, aside from what

04:27.610 --> 04:33.590
they experienced, aside from what they
found in the Scriptures, to understand,

04:33.830 --> 04:39.410
to know and to believe that only they,
the Scriptures, are the vehicle,

04:39.710 --> 04:45.430
are the only means, where the testimony of
Christ can be found.

04:46.390 --> 04:52.190
It is the testimony of Christ in my own
life, emanated from them, received from

04:52.190 --> 04:59.490
them, and believed by them, that at this
time I begin to pass to you, and to

04:59.490 --> 05:00.230
introduce you.

05:04.440 --> 05:12.640
In the beginning, I cannot fail to allude
to what many of you have already read.

05:13.800 --> 05:22.100
A pamphlet, a booklet, in the form of a
comic, a comic magazine, although it has

05:22.100 --> 05:27.680
nothing comical, about the testimony of
Christ in my life, titled, Alberto.

05:29.080 --> 05:38.220
That same pamphlet, that same booklet,
that same magazine, as it is presented for

05:38.220 --> 05:43.800
all ages, from the child to the young and
the adult, has been the instrument of the

05:43.800 --> 05:46.900
Holy Spirit in 160 countries, Alberto.

05:47.360 --> 05:53.160
That same thing you see, that booklet,
that magazine, has been the instrument,

05:53.300 --> 05:58.600
I repeat, in 160 countries, until two
weeks ago, when we received the last

05:58.600 --> 06:03.980
letter from one of the smallest and
smallest countries in Africa, which I

06:03.980 --> 06:05.380
myself did not know existed.

06:06.200 --> 06:12.640
From that country we receive news,
testimonies of Christ in the life of those

06:12.640 --> 06:19.320
who, convicted of the Holy Spirit,
receiving faith, the gift to believe in

06:19.320 --> 06:24.960
Jesus, gave themselves to the Holy
Scripture, as the only means, the only

06:24.960 --> 06:30.420
channel, we could say, even more to
emphasize it dramatically, the only

06:30.420 --> 06:35.560
channel, contrary to the seven channels
that he speaks of according to the Council

06:35.560 --> 06:41.440
of Trent, in reference to the sacraments,
here, the only channel of divine

06:41.440 --> 06:42.680
revelation is the Scriptures.

06:43.140 --> 06:48.520
And through this only channel,
it was that these people, who began to

06:48.520 --> 06:55.140
read Alberto, that same booklet,
that same comic magazine, that you see,

06:55.140 --> 07:01.640
and that you may have already read,
is the instrument, even in the last

07:01.640 --> 07:07.940
country that we have received,
correspondence of the conviction by the

07:07.940 --> 07:14.700
Holy Spirit, of the conversion of
thousands and thousands and thousands and

07:14.700 --> 07:19.680
hundreds of thousands of Catholics,
of Catholics, of charismatics,

07:19.840 --> 07:26.340
who have come by faith to receive the
saving grace of Jesus Christ.

07:26.700 --> 07:36.940
There is no doubt that in this way we are
entering the divine purpose for which this

07:36.940 --> 07:38.340
testimony is being given.

07:39.080 --> 07:45.800
And the divine purpose has already been
very declared by the Gospel of Mark,

07:46.100 --> 07:48.380
chapter 16, verse 15.

07:49.000 --> 07:57.760
The purpose was already decreed in advance
by God, when the same Jesus Christ,

07:57.860 --> 08:03.260
after the Resurrection, calls his apostles
to give this decree, to transmit this

08:03.260 --> 08:09.600
divine decree, which involves this
purpose, exclusive of the salvation and

08:09.600 --> 08:14.140
redemption of Him, to make it more
personal, of the salvation and redemption

08:14.140 --> 08:17.600
of me, of the salvation and redemption of
the human gender.

08:19.620 --> 08:26.820
And it is the revelation of this purpose
that is manifested through this decree.

08:27.080 --> 08:34.080
And all over the world and preached the
Gospel to all creatures.

08:34.360 --> 08:37.900
In other words, not to the creatures,
to all creatures.

08:38.360 --> 08:42.480
That is to say, that with a lot of
exclusivity, person by person,

08:43.220 --> 08:49.880
must know the Gospel of Jesus Christ in
order to believe Jesus Christ.

08:51.060 --> 08:55.700
Faith comes by hearing, I heard myself
say, in the midst of my dilemmas,

08:55.840 --> 09:00.440
in the midst of my controversies,
priestly, religious, and now with the

09:00.440 --> 09:08.420
scriptures in my hands, I heard this
conflict between the religious tradition

09:08.420 --> 09:10.420
and the written word of God.

09:10.660 --> 09:14.900
Between the Magisterium, even,
on one side and on the other side,

09:15.000 --> 09:18.400
the tradition, in the middle, the written
word of God.

09:20.660 --> 09:26.500
I was thrown on one side by the
Magisterium, and on the other by the

09:26.500 --> 09:26.840
tradition.

09:29.320 --> 09:35.740
In my ambition, I myself seemed to feel in
my spiritual ambition, and in my need for

09:35.740 --> 09:41.220
Christ, and salvation, and redemption,
and remission of my sins, I seemed to be

09:41.220 --> 09:49.220
being torn apart, I was being torn apart
on both sides, I was being destroyed,

09:49.940 --> 09:58.100
as Solomon himself said to those who asked
and demanded of the child, when both

09:58.100 --> 10:04.560
mothers asked and claimed that he was the
son of each one, Solomon in his wisdom

10:04.560 --> 10:11.040
declared, very well, since there are two
mothers who at this time ask for the same

10:11.040 --> 10:16.320
son, the only solution would be to cut
that son in two.

10:17.960 --> 10:25.140
And the same feeling went through my
veins, my mind, my feelings, my emotions,

10:25.760 --> 10:32.700
and even conflicted my will between the
religious tradition and the religious

10:33.240 --> 10:33.960
Magisterium.

10:35.860 --> 10:42.160
Between the religious authority of men and
the divine authority of the Word of God.

10:45.640 --> 10:50.100
Certainly, I could not coordinate between
the three.

10:50.380 --> 10:52.700
There was a tremendous mismatch.

10:53.460 --> 10:57.080
While I could coordinate between the
tradition and the Magisterium,

10:57.200 --> 11:01.180
I could not coordinate between the
Magisterium and the Bible, between the

11:01.180 --> 11:02.140
tradition and the Bible.

11:02.580 --> 11:03.760
There was no coordination.

11:05.060 --> 11:06.840
There was no affinity.

11:07.800 --> 11:16.660
There was no way, no way, there was no
possibility, not even the most remote

11:16.660 --> 11:22.500
possibility for me to be able to relate
the Roman Catholic Magisterium and the

11:22.500 --> 11:25.620
Bible, or the Roman Catholic tradition and
the Bible.

11:25.720 --> 11:28.740
It did not exist, no matter how much I
looked for it, no matter how much I

11:28.740 --> 11:30.360
inquired about it.

11:31.860 --> 11:37.220
Hence, as the Holy Spirit guided me on
this biblical journey, especially through

11:37.220 --> 11:43.280
this message, among many other messages
that had to do with my conversion and

11:43.280 --> 11:47.740
salvation in Christ, this message was
crucial.

11:48.260 --> 11:54.040
Because here I begin to see not only why I
have to stop being a Roman Catholic,

11:54.300 --> 11:59.180
why I have to stop being a priest,
but why I was a Roman Catholic.

12:00.720 --> 12:07.260
And I could not pass the other two spheres
unless I knew, by the word of Christ,

12:07.560 --> 12:13.860
by the testimony of Christ in it,
in the scriptures, why I became a Roman

12:13.860 --> 12:19.040
Catholic, why you are a Roman Catholic,
why the nations, the peoples, not only

12:19.040 --> 12:24.820
families, entire nations and even entire
continents gave in to Roman Catholicism

12:24.820 --> 12:26.760
since 1,600 years ago.

12:27.340 --> 12:28.320
How did this happen?

12:28.760 --> 12:29.660
How did this happen?

12:29.660 --> 12:31.720
Where did it come from?

12:31.980 --> 12:40.480
Where does this experience of religious
tradition and of Catholic magisterium From

12:40.480 --> 12:40.860
the Bible?

12:41.320 --> 12:41.900
From the Gospel?

12:43.540 --> 12:49.640
Let us read verse 15 once more,
and it says, And Jesus said to them,

12:50.040 --> 12:56.660
and to all the world, in other words,
the decree already tells us that there is

12:56.660 --> 13:01.380
a territory to occupy, that there is a
territory to cover, and this is not only a

13:01.380 --> 13:07.240
country, this is not Mexico, this is not
Guatemala, this is not even Central

13:07.240 --> 13:10.160
America or the Caribbean or South America
or Spain.

13:10.620 --> 13:12.960
This is the whole world.

13:13.940 --> 13:15.840
And for the whole world.

13:16.980 --> 13:17.740
And what to do?

13:18.440 --> 13:24.440
What to do going through this world,
in need, in problems, in political,

13:24.700 --> 13:29.440
social, economic, religious, military,
listen well, when we talk about going

13:29.440 --> 13:34.160
around the world, we have to think that
when you go around the world, this is what

13:34.160 --> 13:34.960
you are finding.

13:35.220 --> 13:36.860
Drugs, misery.

13:39.280 --> 13:41.120
This is what you are finding.

13:41.500 --> 13:42.720
This is what you are living.

13:43.880 --> 13:45.180
Religions of all kinds.

13:46.300 --> 13:48.880
We can not only talk about Catholicism.

13:49.320 --> 13:56.020
After all, the same book of Apocalypse,
chapters 17, 18, 19, tells us that this

13:56.020 --> 14:04.340
same religious system, to cover its own
political purpose, as the prophet Daniel

14:04.340 --> 14:09.760
enumerates and reveals it, this political
system covered by religion, after all,

14:10.000 --> 14:15.960
is not isolated, because it comes to be
even the mother of the abominations and

14:15.960 --> 14:17.380
fornications of the earth.

14:17.640 --> 14:23.700
Which indicates that even when we walk in
this world, from one side to another,

14:23.800 --> 14:28.680
from south to north, from east to west,
we find ourselves not only with all kinds

14:28.680 --> 14:33.080
of poverty and misery, political,
social, economic and moral.

14:33.080 --> 14:35.700
We find ourselves with a lot of religious
misery.

14:36.120 --> 14:41.560
I mean tragedies, not only misery,
tragedies deeply religious.

14:42.740 --> 14:48.520
If so, then, what is happening with what
you are still finding?

14:48.940 --> 14:53.460
The lack of happiness, the lack of peace,
the lack of tranquility, the lack of

14:53.460 --> 15:05.940
sobriety, liquor, adultery, fornication,
witchcraft, satanism, voodoo, spiritism,

15:08.500 --> 15:14.540
communism, anarchism, socialism,
name everything you want, add to the list

15:14.540 --> 15:18.780
what you have already found in your own
personal experience.

15:19.920 --> 15:23.460
Contrary to all of this, to this divine
decree.

15:24.340 --> 15:26.720
What are we going to do with all of this
in the world?

15:26.980 --> 15:28.820
What news are we going to bring?

15:29.180 --> 15:33.560
What news are we going to bring to all of
this situation, to all of this population,

15:33.760 --> 15:40.680
to all of this world mass that suffers
daily, every 24 hours, all of the

15:40.680 --> 15:45.760
devastation that satan has established in
this planet.

15:48.380 --> 15:51.500
Jesus himself declares it and reveals it
in this way.

15:52.240 --> 15:57.040
To satan, the old serpent says,
the prince of this world, apart from all

15:57.040 --> 16:01.840
of his titles, Jesus is the first one who
gives him the title of prince.

16:03.940 --> 16:06.020
The prince of this world.

16:07.740 --> 16:14.260
So much so that satan himself with such a
title but with such a title of prince,

16:14.540 --> 16:19.740
offers it to the king, to the king of
kings and lord of lords, to Jesus Christ

16:19.740 --> 16:24.620
in person, in the desert, in the
temptation that he was led to.

16:25.560 --> 16:30.440
He says, here, finally, if I cannot win
you in one way or another, I am going to

16:30.440 --> 16:33.600
offer you the greatest of all offers.

16:34.360 --> 16:39.760
Here I am, the kingdoms of the earth and
all its glory, I give you, I offer you,

16:39.820 --> 16:44.780
I give you, with that same power that
governs them and dominates them.

16:44.940 --> 16:50.160
He says, I give you all the kingdoms of
the earth and its glory, if you worship

16:50.160 --> 16:51.940
me.

16:53.320 --> 17:05.340
Certainly, the offer did not work,
but it worked, Jesus, who obtained victory

17:05.340 --> 17:10.520
over him, for us, for you, and for myself.

17:11.960 --> 17:18.740
He says, get away from me, Satan,
because you will worship the Lord your

17:18.740 --> 17:22.580
God, and you will serve only him.

17:24.240 --> 17:26.850
Why did I become a Catholic?

17:28.280 --> 17:36.380
It begins to be known from the moment that
we know that Satan, as the prince of this

17:36.380 --> 17:42.390
world, not only possesses the governments,
possesses the glory of these governments,

17:42.690 --> 17:48.970
but then we know that in that
relationship, religion, religious

17:48.970 --> 17:53.610
traditions, seek the human favor,
there is no doubt.

17:53.990 --> 18:01.970
And in relation to that same context,
God himself is speaking, he is rebelling,

18:03.070 --> 18:08.390
he is moaning, he is suggesting,
he is exhorting, he is calling,

18:08.670 --> 18:12.090
he is inviting, in that relationship,

18:15.930 --> 18:20.090
the glory and the governments of this
world.

18:21.950 --> 18:29.830
How much eagerness unfolds in the
religious tradition everywhere,

18:30.710 --> 18:35.030
in the sense of popularity and political
favors.

18:38.620 --> 18:45.900
In response to this, we see that religion,
in its traditional effort, seeks,

18:46.240 --> 18:50.260
it does not have to offer, on the
contrary, it seeks, in human misery,

18:50.880 --> 18:55.760
in human misery, as Satan himself offers
Christ, it seeks in human misery,

18:56.800 --> 19:04.480
in human waste, it seeks its seat,
it seeks its coexistence, it seeks its

19:04.480 --> 19:08.040
inclusive life itself.

19:10.220 --> 19:13.680
It does not offer anything because it has
nothing, I can not offer anything.

19:14.940 --> 19:19.800
By staying on the side of the Gospel,
as I stayed on the side of the Gospel,

19:20.280 --> 19:23.240
since my parents baptized me.

19:23.740 --> 19:27.820
In other words, I was not taken to the
Gospel, I was taken to baptism.

19:28.400 --> 19:34.080
Let's understand the order well,
how a creature begins to be Roman

19:34.080 --> 19:36.560
Catholic, not because of the Gospel.

19:39.220 --> 19:45.120
My parents, as Spaniards and Roman
Catholics, did not receive the Gospel.

19:48.460 --> 19:55.900
What they received is by conduct of human
misery itself, and of human sufferings,

19:57.600 --> 19:59.400
the product of that same.

20:01.680 --> 20:06.780
They received everything that is contrary
to the hope of eternal life and to eternal

20:06.780 --> 20:06.800
life.

20:07.180 --> 20:12.020
They received everything that is contrary
to human redemption and to the remission

20:12.020 --> 20:13.460
of their own sins.

20:14.540 --> 20:19.320
They received an entertainment of death
and of eternal death.

20:20.100 --> 20:26.400
There is no possibility that it can be,
and this was my own personal conflict,

20:26.760 --> 20:33.180
that it can be related to what religion
promises and what the Gospel grants.

20:33.440 --> 20:38.520
In other words, when we talk about what
religion promises, we are now talking

20:38.520 --> 20:41.600
about what the Gospel offers.

20:42.620 --> 20:44.580
Religion has many promises.

20:45.880 --> 20:50.640
Even more, since I was baptized as a child
in a state of innocence, I was already

20:50.640 --> 20:54.020
promised that I was going to be a
Christian.

20:54.240 --> 20:58.800
In other words, I was already in that
process of being a Christian.

20:59.040 --> 21:00.320
I did not know what was happening.

21:01.020 --> 21:02.440
I did not know what they were saying to
me.

21:02.860 --> 21:06.560
I did not know what they were practicing
about my body in a state of innocence.

21:08.160 --> 21:14.280
No creature knows in a state of innocence
when they are called to be exorcised and

21:14.280 --> 21:14.640
baptized.

21:15.000 --> 21:15.660
And you say, how?

21:16.200 --> 21:22.560
Exorcised and baptized by the priest who
receives them in the baptismal pile.

21:24.220 --> 21:28.460
Let's come to the Gospel and once again to
how the same Holy Spirit brought me on

21:28.460 --> 21:29.440
this same day.

21:29.680 --> 21:32.760
I am going to take you step by step.

21:33.080 --> 21:34.100
It says in this way.

21:35.060 --> 21:38.180
And Jesus said to them, go for the whole
world.

21:39.060 --> 21:43.480
Now the action of what is going to be done
in the world, of what is going to be given

21:43.480 --> 21:47.000
to the world, of what is going to be
declared to the world, of what is going to

21:47.000 --> 21:48.600
be offered to the world.

21:48.740 --> 21:50.240
It says, and preach.

21:52.260 --> 21:56.960
Oh, oh, then it is not to go for the whole
world and baptize.

21:57.320 --> 22:00.800
No, it is to go for the whole world and
preach.

22:01.980 --> 22:02.860
Preach.

22:03.300 --> 22:04.120
Preach.

22:04.600 --> 22:07.020
Preach the Gospel.

22:10.830 --> 22:12.090
What an offer.

22:14.510 --> 22:15.970
And what a promise.

22:17.930 --> 22:23.410
Because since it is announced of the
preaching of the Gospel, there is already

22:23.410 --> 22:23.970
a promise.

22:24.410 --> 22:29.810
It says, faith comes by hearing,
and hearing by the word of God.

22:31.190 --> 22:35.290
The same Holy Spirit reflects in the
epistle of the Apostle Paul to the

22:35.290 --> 22:39.550
believers in Rome, in the city of Rome,
which has nothing to do with the Vatican

22:39.550 --> 22:44.850
in Rome, which has nothing to do with
Roman Catholicism originated in Rome in

22:44.850 --> 22:48.570
the third century under Emperor
Constantine the Great.

22:48.770 --> 22:53.290
This was the first Christian epistle
established in the city of Rome,

22:53.430 --> 22:58.070
in the Roman imperial city, in the capital
city, in Rome.

22:58.410 --> 23:01.050
And that epistle, that letter,
comes with that announcement.

23:01.270 --> 23:06.190
It says from the first chapter in that
letter to the Apostle Paul, because I am

23:06.190 --> 23:08.250
not ashamed of what?

23:08.610 --> 23:09.170
Any tradition?

23:10.830 --> 23:14.010
You have to be ashamed of many traditions,
I would say of all.

23:15.750 --> 23:18.630
However, the Holy Spirit goes in another
direction.

23:18.630 --> 23:26.350
Above all tradition, contrary to all
religious tradition, not only Catholic,

23:26.550 --> 23:31.590
even Judaic, at that time, in that moment,
in that circumstance, against all

23:31.590 --> 23:38.010
religion, including paganism, against all
religious tradition, the Apostle Paul

23:38.010 --> 23:42.930
declares already from the introduction of
that letter to the Church, I am not

23:42.930 --> 23:45.450
ashamed of the Gospel.

23:46.730 --> 23:47.250
Why?

23:48.270 --> 23:49.170
What is the reason?

23:49.310 --> 23:54.090
What is the cause that there is no
possibility, not even the most remote,

23:54.390 --> 23:58.470
that a human being can ever be ashamed of
the Gospel?

23:59.610 --> 24:00.830
I say, it will not exist.

24:02.010 --> 24:04.650
Man will look for it, but he will not find
it.

24:05.010 --> 24:10.930
There will be no possibility, there will
be no reason, there will be no cause that

24:10.930 --> 24:14.710
can be said for which I am ashamed of the
Gospel.

24:15.190 --> 24:15.510
Never.

24:16.310 --> 24:20.870
What the Gospel operates, what the Gospel
produces, what the Gospel offers,

24:21.370 --> 24:27.950
what the Gospel has as hope and reality,
of that, there is nothing that a single

24:27.950 --> 24:30.670
human being can be ashamed of.

24:32.330 --> 24:36.730
I am not ashamed of the Gospel because it
is the power of God.

24:36.890 --> 24:41.690
This is the Gospel that Christ gives to
his apostles, of which they themselves

24:41.690 --> 24:46.250
knew that they never had anything to be
ashamed of.

24:46.470 --> 24:48.530
But they had a lot to be ashamed of.

24:48.810 --> 24:52.610
They themselves, being Jews, had to be
ashamed of.

24:52.610 --> 24:54.430
They had to be ashamed of.

24:54.530 --> 24:59.650
Facing Christ, facing his doctrine,
facing his teachings, facing his person,

24:59.970 --> 25:06.550
facing his love, they had and had to be
ashamed of their own religious traditions

25:06.550 --> 25:12.050
that prevented them until the moment they
were convicted of the Holy Spirit,

25:12.310 --> 25:13.930
and they did not reject the conviction.

25:14.390 --> 25:17.690
Until that moment they had a lot to be
ashamed of.

25:18.510 --> 25:27.650
Peter, John, Matthew, Luke, all of them,
had a lot to be ashamed of.

25:27.670 --> 25:33.850
When they depended before believing the
word of Christ and the person of Christ,

25:34.010 --> 25:40.850
when they had to depend on the religious
tradition that prevented them from knowing

25:40.850 --> 25:43.430
the one they needed as Savior.

25:46.230 --> 25:55.430
And all over the world, in that same
epistle, the same Apostle declares I am

25:55.430 --> 26:02.810
not ashamed of the Gospel because it is
the power of God for salvation to all who

26:02.810 --> 26:03.330
believe.

26:05.210 --> 26:11.330
And chapter 10 of that same epistle begins
to say, but how will they believe if there

26:11.330 --> 26:13.590
is no one to preach to them?

26:13.930 --> 26:16.650
How will they believe if there is no one
to preach to them?

26:17.070 --> 26:25.810
But how, how will it be possible that even
someone can hear if there is no one to

26:25.810 --> 26:27.330
preach to?

26:29.950 --> 26:35.290
Well, says the Scripture, preach the
Gospel to all creatures.

26:35.510 --> 26:41.850
In other words, not to the masses,
simply to each creature, to all creatures,

26:42.390 --> 26:43.790
individually and personally.

26:48.390 --> 26:52.530
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the
word of God.

26:54.130 --> 27:00.610
When I was told and I was given the first
news that I was Catholic, already in use

27:00.610 --> 27:02.750
of reason, my parents were the first.

27:02.870 --> 27:08.830
When I knew I was Catholic, it came to
happen because my parents told me.

27:08.990 --> 27:15.450
In other words, I was surrounded in a
situation where I myself had many

27:15.450 --> 27:16.490
questions to ask.

27:16.790 --> 27:22.690
Already at a certain age, even before
arriving to the seminary to pass my

27:22.690 --> 27:28.190
studies to the priesthood, many questions
began to grow in my mind.

27:28.190 --> 27:30.130
But I had no answer.

27:31.850 --> 27:34.390
Why did I become a Roman Catholic?

27:35.410 --> 27:39.190
Would it be as a consequence of the
preaching of this Gospel?

27:39.370 --> 27:44.150
Would it be as a consequence of this
decree of Christ given to his apostles,

27:44.450 --> 27:49.970
transmitted to his church, from Jerusalem
to Judea, Samaria, and to the end of the

27:49.970 --> 27:50.270
earth?

27:50.670 --> 27:54.930
In other words, would it be as a
consequence of all that preaching of this

27:54.930 --> 27:58.330
Gospel that I, then, came to become a
Roman Catholic?

27:58.970 --> 28:00.730
That you came to become a Catholic?

28:00.930 --> 28:02.350
That you are a Catholic?

28:03.330 --> 28:05.390
Is it as a consequence of this decree?

28:05.750 --> 28:10.130
That Catholics, human beings, came to
become Catholics?

28:10.550 --> 28:15.030
Countries, families, and priests came to
become priests?

28:15.330 --> 28:16.910
Or men came to become priests?

28:17.150 --> 28:18.910
Women became nuns?

28:19.110 --> 28:21.250
And bishops, and cardinals, and popes?

28:21.450 --> 28:27.690
Will all this be as a consequence of this
decree from Christ to his apostles?

28:27.890 --> 28:30.050
That all this came to happen?

28:30.390 --> 28:31.190
Will it be true?

28:31.790 --> 28:32.650
Will this be true?

28:33.750 --> 28:39.450
Let us come again, as I had to return to
Scripture, to hear it, to hear it,

28:39.690 --> 28:42.710
and to hear it again, and to hear it
again, and to hear it again.

28:43.230 --> 28:47.650
And all over the world, preach the Gospel.

28:47.650 --> 28:48.090
The Gospel.

28:51.410 --> 28:55.430
Let us do the first test, as the Holy
Spirit put it to me.

28:55.850 --> 28:56.730
The first test.

28:57.170 --> 28:58.750
Mark chapter 10.

28:59.250 --> 29:04.330
And at this time, to find out the identity
of my own Catholic experience,

29:04.850 --> 29:08.150
of my own Catholic faith, of my own
Catholic religion.

29:08.450 --> 29:14.230
To find out, to search, wanting to find
that identity, of those experiences,

29:14.430 --> 29:19.230
of that faith, of that religion,
in the pages of Scripture, in the pages of

29:19.230 --> 29:19.730
the Gospel.

29:20.110 --> 29:23.430
I was led by the Holy Spirit to Mark
chapter 10.

29:24.010 --> 29:26.150
In this same direction that you were led.

29:26.770 --> 29:28.070
Mark chapter 10.

29:28.670 --> 29:32.570
And in this Holy Gospel, we read in verse
13, in this way.

29:32.950 --> 29:36.630
And they presented children to be touched.

29:37.790 --> 29:41.870
And the disciples reigned over those who
presented them.

29:41.870 --> 29:47.710
In other words, the disciples were
surrounded by a multitude of women who

29:47.710 --> 29:55.910
brought their children, their daughters,
so that Jesus himself would touch them

29:55.910 --> 29:58.230
when presenting them to him.

29:59.510 --> 30:00.990
The disciples opposed.

30:01.610 --> 30:04.850
And there is no doubt that this was not
pleasant for Christ.

30:05.610 --> 30:10.290
That opposition from his disciples to
prevent those mothers from bringing their

30:10.290 --> 30:12.430
children to him was not pleasant,
I repeat.

30:14.650 --> 30:15.450
We speak of preventing.

30:16.230 --> 30:16.990
We speak of preventing.

30:17.190 --> 30:19.130
This word is very important.

30:19.370 --> 30:21.190
It was crucial in my own conversion.

30:21.610 --> 30:22.030
See why.

30:23.070 --> 30:26.210
As a priest in Edouard, would I be
preventing?

30:27.090 --> 30:27.790
As a priest?

30:28.730 --> 30:30.210
Would I be preventing?

30:31.210 --> 30:32.990
And not only as a priest, as a Catholic.

30:33.270 --> 30:39.450
As a Catholic, would you be preventing
that your own children come to Christ,

30:40.370 --> 30:41.670
come to Jesus?

30:42.490 --> 30:44.770
Would there be someone asking you?

30:45.290 --> 30:50.370
Would there be someone, religiously,
I do not speak politically, economically,

30:50.890 --> 30:56.810
or militarily, not by force of the weapon,
by force of religious persuasion,

30:57.330 --> 31:01.230
of teaching, of religious education,
would there be someone religiously

31:01.230 --> 31:06.610
preventing at this moment, at this time,
in their life, in their country,

31:06.790 --> 31:11.290
in their nation, in their home,
would there be someone preventing that

31:11.290 --> 31:18.530
their own children come to Christ,
know Christ, and remain in Christ?

31:21.840 --> 31:28.240
Listen to the word, it says, And they
presented them children to touch them,

31:28.560 --> 31:32.620
and the disciples reigned over those who
presented them.

31:32.820 --> 31:40.400
And seeing Jesus, he became angry,
and said to them, Let the children come,

31:40.900 --> 31:43.320
and do not hinder them.

31:43.660 --> 31:48.720
In other words, what is happening here?

31:49.140 --> 31:56.540
They are hindering the process by which
God Himself, in His divine plan,

31:57.060 --> 32:01.500
has revealed to Jesus, has prophesied of
Jesus, of the Child Jesus.

32:01.500 --> 32:03.580
The prophets already spoke of Jesus.

32:04.380 --> 32:09.920
Here the Virgin will conceive and give
birth to a son and will call His name

32:09.920 --> 32:10.660
Jesus.

32:11.300 --> 32:16.340
Because He, that Child, already,
the same name, the same title,

32:16.700 --> 32:21.220
already carries the message and the
promise.

32:21.920 --> 32:26.520
Jesus, who means Savior of His people.

32:26.880 --> 32:27.320
Hallelujah.

32:28.020 --> 32:28.840
Hallelujah.

32:29.260 --> 32:29.800
Hallelujah.

32:29.800 --> 32:31.040
Jesus.

32:31.540 --> 32:33.800
Jesus is not a simple name.

32:34.180 --> 32:39.660
He carries, implies, brings with Him a
message, a promise.

32:42.580 --> 32:43.380
Jesus.

32:43.640 --> 32:47.660
Because He will save His people from their
sins.

32:48.120 --> 32:51.960
Jesus, who will not leave His people in
their sins.

32:52.580 --> 32:55.740
Jesus, who will not see His people be
condemned.

32:56.420 --> 33:02.040
Jesus, who did not leave His people,
who did not come to condemn Him.

33:02.160 --> 33:07.960
Jesus, because He will save His people
from their sins, from their condemnation,

33:08.300 --> 33:11.340
from their judgment and from their eternal
death.

33:11.900 --> 33:12.440
Jesus.

33:13.920 --> 33:15.220
This is the Gospel.

33:16.480 --> 33:23.860
In other words, we are confronting here
impediments to the Gospel through

33:23.860 --> 33:25.340
extraordinary religious arts.

33:26.500 --> 33:27.300
It is a paradox.

33:27.300 --> 33:29.100
It was already for me.

33:29.520 --> 33:32.040
My conscience did not resist it.

33:32.820 --> 33:37.340
The paradox was too great for my
conscience to overcome it.

33:38.140 --> 33:43.560
That I myself, as a priest, that I myself,
as a Catholic, could be an impediment,

33:44.140 --> 33:52.760
a hindrance, even to the creatures that
are born to reach Christ when they need to

33:52.760 --> 33:53.080
arrive.

33:54.780 --> 33:57.540
And the hindrance comes quickly.

33:59.240 --> 34:05.080
The hindrance and the impediment are very
early at the door of human existence.

34:05.520 --> 34:08.200
Already in a creature in a state of
innocence.

34:08.880 --> 34:14.560
It is said by concept of religion to make
it Catholic, that it has to be exorcised

34:14.560 --> 34:19.580
and exorcised, that child, that girl,
in a state of innocence, without the use

34:19.580 --> 34:24.320
of reason, that they must be baptized
unless they go to limbo.

34:24.860 --> 34:27.080
If they are not exorcised and baptized.

34:28.240 --> 34:32.040
Let's start with this impediment.

34:32.420 --> 34:33.240
Where is it?

34:33.320 --> 34:33.940
What is it?

34:34.640 --> 34:36.240
First, exorcism.

34:39.100 --> 34:44.420
We already see that exorcism, after all,
in itself is not the impediment,

34:44.620 --> 34:47.340
but it is the individual who practices it.

34:47.340 --> 34:49.860
It is who impedes it, it is who hinders
it.

34:50.040 --> 34:53.940
As in the case of my own personal
experience as a priest.

34:54.500 --> 35:02.960
I was the one who impeded and who hindered
for my ignorance of the Gospel and for not

35:02.960 --> 35:11.260
believing it, for my own disbelief in the
Gospel as a priest, by not believing this

35:11.260 --> 35:17.240
same promise of Gedul that I impeded,
hindered thousands and thousands of

35:17.240 --> 35:20.300
children to come to Christ.

35:26.230 --> 35:29.490
And they presented children for him to
touch them.

35:30.010 --> 35:33.270
And the disciples reigned over those who
presented them.

35:33.490 --> 35:40.350
And seeing this, Jesus became angry and
said to them, Let the children come and do

35:40.350 --> 35:47.470
not hinder them because of such is the
kingdom of God.

35:49.610 --> 35:54.570
In other words, there could not only be a
better promise than this, not only,

35:54.750 --> 35:57.830
but there could be a better guarantee and
security.

35:58.590 --> 35:59.590
Who can offer it?

36:00.570 --> 36:03.650
Even the sacrament of baptism can offer
it.

36:03.810 --> 36:05.570
The sacrament of Confirmation can offer
it.

36:05.810 --> 36:07.650
The sacrament of Penance can offer it.

36:07.930 --> 36:09.810
The sacrament of Mass can offer it.

36:10.030 --> 36:13.930
The sacrament of religious orders can
offer it.

36:14.390 --> 36:16.070
The sacrament of marriage can offer it.

36:16.210 --> 36:17.670
The sacrament of baptism can offer it.

36:18.510 --> 36:26.270
Not only some of these sacraments,
but all together can certify, guarantee,

36:26.730 --> 36:29.630
give this promise to a single human being.

36:29.830 --> 36:30.370
Can it?

36:31.830 --> 36:33.270
Listen to what Jesus says.

36:33.830 --> 36:37.770
I had to listen to him and listen to him
again until I believed it.

36:38.890 --> 36:41.390
To me, religiously, it was impossible to
believe it.

36:41.570 --> 36:43.810
To me, a religious person.

36:48.170 --> 36:48.970
Why?

36:49.090 --> 36:49.870
Because of such people.

36:50.090 --> 36:51.410
Will it be the Kingdom of Heaven?

36:51.630 --> 36:52.110
No!

36:53.550 --> 36:57.050
Christianity does not deal with undefined
promises.

36:58.810 --> 37:01.890
Christianity deals with defined promises.

37:02.150 --> 37:05.810
Safe, eternal and to the present.

37:08.230 --> 37:11.010
Religion has many promises from before.

37:11.810 --> 37:13.790
But which ones are they?

37:13.790 --> 37:14.450
Undefined.

37:15.230 --> 37:17.470
You will be saved one day.

37:17.730 --> 37:18.590
You don't know when.

37:19.730 --> 37:21.370
Here, Jesus goes ahead.

37:21.990 --> 37:25.150
Including time, age, reason.

37:25.730 --> 37:32.450
And he says to these children,
they are co-heirs with me of the Kingdom

37:32.450 --> 37:33.070
of God.

37:33.410 --> 37:38.150
They are the heirs of the such,
they are the owners of the such.

37:38.410 --> 37:40.170
It is the Kingdom of Heaven.

37:40.790 --> 37:41.050
Now.

37:44.510 --> 37:45.910
Through what process?

37:47.390 --> 37:49.070
What did they have to do?

37:49.390 --> 37:50.550
What did they have to do?

37:50.790 --> 37:51.990
What did they have to do?

37:52.290 --> 37:54.070
What did they have to do to those
children?

37:54.310 --> 37:58.550
To make them already heirs of the Kingdom
of God.

37:58.650 --> 37:59.390
What did they have to do?

37:59.590 --> 38:00.970
The parents, the family.

38:01.830 --> 38:02.850
But now we go to Jesus.

38:03.050 --> 38:04.450
What did Jesus do with them?

38:04.690 --> 38:07.250
To make them heirs of the Kingdom of God.

38:07.370 --> 38:08.150
What did he do with them?

38:09.250 --> 38:14.190
It is extraordinary that Jesus did
everything after giving them not only the

38:14.190 --> 38:16.450
promise, but the guarantee of the promise.

38:16.850 --> 38:19.630
He did these things that we are going to
read.

38:19.950 --> 38:21.230
We are not going to invent them.

38:21.370 --> 38:23.010
We are not going to imagine them.

38:23.830 --> 38:25.010
We are going to read them.

38:25.650 --> 38:26.270
And to believe.

38:28.470 --> 38:29.750
That was my blessing.

38:30.230 --> 38:33.550
When I started to believe what I read.

38:33.970 --> 38:34.730
What I repeated.

38:35.370 --> 38:36.970
And what I even knew by heart.

38:36.970 --> 38:38.210
By memory.

38:38.910 --> 38:39.310
Like a priest.

38:40.130 --> 38:42.330
But I did not believe it yet.

38:48.590 --> 38:52.830
I tell you the truth says verse 15 of
chapter 10 of the Gospel of Mark.

38:53.230 --> 38:57.870
I tell you the truth that he who does not
receive the Kingdom of God like a child

38:58.830 --> 39:01.350
will not enter in Him.

39:02.010 --> 39:03.110
In the Kingdom of God.

39:04.190 --> 39:05.950
And taking them in his arms.

39:06.170 --> 39:07.110
See what he does.

39:07.110 --> 39:07.590
First.

39:08.190 --> 39:09.790
Taking them in his arms.

39:10.370 --> 39:15.970
To still reinforce that security of the
promise already given.

39:18.430 --> 39:20.710
And taking them in his arms.

39:20.870 --> 39:25.910
If these children had been full of evil
spirits and demons as I believed as a

39:25.910 --> 39:26.190
priest.

39:26.470 --> 39:28.470
That the child had to be exorcised.

39:28.770 --> 39:34.490
And as he prays according to the canon law
for all priests and for all the Catholic

39:34.490 --> 39:36.330
religious people around the world.

39:37.050 --> 39:37.950
In the whole world.

39:38.330 --> 39:40.430
Not only among us, the Hispanics.

39:40.550 --> 39:41.410
In the whole world.

39:44.110 --> 39:50.850
It is clear and determined that in order
to be Catholic, that child had to be

39:50.850 --> 39:51.750
exorcised.

39:52.110 --> 39:54.890
Because he begins to be Catholic when he
is baptized.

39:55.370 --> 40:00.910
And he cannot be baptized without being
exorcised because he declares the same

40:00.910 --> 40:02.170
religious tradition.

40:02.170 --> 40:05.870
He declares that this child is full of
evil spirits.

40:06.070 --> 40:07.330
He is full of demons.

40:07.590 --> 40:08.510
Since he was born.

40:10.010 --> 40:15.590
And then the priest needs to exorcise him,
to take out the evil spirits, to take out

40:15.590 --> 40:17.270
the demons from this innocent child.

40:17.550 --> 40:18.330
From this innocent child.

40:19.570 --> 40:23.010
That Christ already disowned the kingdom
of God.

40:24.030 --> 40:25.350
And the priest denies it.

40:26.450 --> 40:27.710
And prevents it.

40:28.230 --> 40:29.190
And hinders it.

40:35.070 --> 40:41.470
I tell you that the one who does not
receive the kingdom of God as a child will

40:41.470 --> 40:42.350
not enter into it.

40:42.770 --> 40:45.010
And taking them in his arms.

40:46.250 --> 40:49.310
Second, he put his hands on them.

40:49.710 --> 40:52.330
Third, he blessed them.

40:53.050 --> 40:53.610
Hallelujah.

40:54.270 --> 40:54.870
Hallelujah.

40:55.810 --> 40:59.630
How much transcendence in this teaching.

41:01.070 --> 41:01.810
It transcends.

41:01.810 --> 41:05.230
It transcends from the innocent to the
adult.

41:05.430 --> 41:07.970
Because even this analogy is made by
Jesus.

41:08.310 --> 41:17.430
He says, if you do not return as children,
you adults, you, unless you return as

41:17.430 --> 41:21.430
children, you will not be able to enter
the kingdom of God.

41:23.090 --> 41:29.450
We cannot among the adults who received
the same glorious experience as I

41:29.450 --> 41:29.890
received.

41:29.890 --> 41:31.990
And Nicodemus did the same.

41:33.130 --> 41:36.550
And Jesus made praise of this promise to
Nicodemus.

41:37.210 --> 41:42.030
Since he saw him, he saw him as a man in
need, even though he was so devout,

41:42.410 --> 41:48.430
so religious, so pious, not painful,
but so educated religiously.

41:48.670 --> 41:49.790
He was a teacher.

41:51.130 --> 41:54.010
Teacher of religion in Israel.

41:56.210 --> 42:00.470
And Nicodemus tells him, in chapter 3 of
the Gospel of John, Nicodemus,

42:01.650 --> 42:02.710
you are needed.

42:03.370 --> 42:08.110
It is not that if you want or do not want,
it is not that it is a matter to debate or

42:08.110 --> 42:10.190
discuss, or to give an opinion on it.

42:10.490 --> 42:10.630
No.

42:11.030 --> 42:12.150
You are needed.

42:14.650 --> 42:18.930
It is true that you will have many things
to object, many things to give an opinion,

42:19.290 --> 42:24.110
many things to confront, many things to
discuss and debate, and even, perhaps,

42:24.310 --> 42:28.910
to dialogue in a more human and
psychological way, but none of this is

42:28.910 --> 42:29.970
worth it.

42:31.070 --> 42:34.150
His first need is that of Christ.

42:35.090 --> 42:39.590
His first need, above all others,
is to be saved.

42:42.630 --> 42:47.790
And the question should be, how to become
a Christian, not how to become a Catholic,

42:48.070 --> 42:52.430
because this we are seeing that there is
an absolute disparity between how to

42:52.430 --> 42:55.210
become Catholic and how to become
Christian.

42:57.990 --> 43:04.270
Jesus went ahead to that dilemma,
so that we do not have any confusion.

43:07.270 --> 43:16.150
The Lord clearly says that he put his
hands on them and blessed them.

43:16.810 --> 43:22.130
And of course, when this happens to a
child, this is what he was saying to

43:22.130 --> 43:23.450
Nicodemus, what is going to happen to him.

43:24.890 --> 43:33.930
Nicodemus was going to be taken in his
arms, Nicodemus was going to put the hands

43:33.930 --> 43:38.470
of Christ on him, because he puts his
hands on us.

43:38.550 --> 43:42.250
Once he takes us in his arms, he puts his
hands on us.

43:42.630 --> 43:44.510
It is true how he was crucified.

43:45.430 --> 43:47.390
The fact of how he was crucified does not
go unnoticed.

43:47.390 --> 43:56.630
His hands extended, waiting to receive,
as he said, in physical life, come to me

43:56.630 --> 44:01.770
all of you who are burdened and worked,
that I will make you rest.

44:03.370 --> 44:04.330
Listen to me well.

44:05.690 --> 44:09.930
The one who comes to me, says Jesus,
I have not thrown him out.

44:10.870 --> 44:16.510
And how much my soul aspired to reach that
moment, to reach that meeting,

44:16.830 --> 44:24.050
where I was going to find tranquility,
peace, security, salvation and eternal

44:24.050 --> 44:27.210
life under the remission of my sins.

44:28.350 --> 44:29.010
Listen well.

44:29.790 --> 44:31.370
How did this start with Nicodemus?

44:31.590 --> 44:33.850
He says, it is necessary for you to be
born again.

44:36.190 --> 44:40.610
Is any of this identified with the
experience of having become Catholic?

44:41.430 --> 44:44.170
See how one started and how the other
started.

44:47.800 --> 44:54.100
From there, Jesus said to his apostles,
go all over the world and exorcise

44:54.100 --> 44:54.620
children.

44:55.440 --> 44:56.120
That's it.

44:56.680 --> 44:58.680
Go all over the world and baptize
children.

44:59.380 --> 45:01.520
Go all over the world and celebrate Mass.

45:02.120 --> 45:04.200
Go all over the world and accept penance.

45:04.760 --> 45:10.960
Go all over the world and celebrate the
apparitions of Guadalupe, of Lourdes,

45:11.080 --> 45:11.660
of Fatima.

45:11.660 --> 45:15.300
Go all over the world and do what?

45:15.480 --> 45:16.840
To the world in need.

45:17.360 --> 45:18.560
And offer what?

45:18.960 --> 45:23.580
To the world in misfortune and misery and
sin and transgression.

45:24.000 --> 45:24.440
What?

45:24.680 --> 45:27.300
What are we going to give to this world?

45:28.000 --> 45:28.840
Exorcism?

45:29.520 --> 45:30.160
Baptism?

45:31.720 --> 45:33.440
Or the Gospel?

45:34.420 --> 45:39.320
So that whoever believes it can be
baptized.

45:39.320 --> 45:40.320
Amen?

45:41.560 --> 45:42.520
Glory to God.

45:42.940 --> 45:43.480
Listen to me.

45:44.340 --> 45:48.880
How much disparity, how much difference
from night to day.

45:49.460 --> 45:55.000
My soul was alarmed when I began to
understand, when I began to understand,

45:55.360 --> 45:56.860
when I began to believe.

45:58.020 --> 46:05.780
Not only the truth, but now I began to let
the Lord know the truth, the deception,

46:06.320 --> 46:14.220
the lie, the betrayal, and the perversion
that the Gospel of him has been in the

46:14.220 --> 46:16.040
course of the centuries.

46:17.560 --> 46:18.020
Listen.

46:18.680 --> 46:24.880
Let's give a reading once more to this
passage of the Gospel of Mark chapter 16.

46:25.780 --> 46:28.320
Getting ready for this very special
invitation.

46:28.880 --> 46:29.480
Listen to me well.

46:31.320 --> 46:37.560
And he said to them, and all over the
world, preach the Gospel to every

46:37.560 --> 46:38.100
creature.

46:39.240 --> 46:46.960
He who believes and is baptized will be
saved, but he who does not believe will be

46:46.960 --> 46:47.700
condemned.

46:49.200 --> 46:55.460
Of the three things that Jesus did to the
children, and even of what he said to

46:55.460 --> 47:01.340
Nicodemus, in no way do we see that
neither with children nor with adults did

47:01.340 --> 47:09.100
Jesus exorcise nor did he exorcise the
others, nor did he baptize the others,

47:09.260 --> 47:11.240
without believing the Gospel.

47:13.760 --> 47:19.740
Now we better understand the order in
which these things correspond.

47:20.620 --> 47:22.340
My soul was being pierced.

47:23.240 --> 47:29.480
Already I felt that not only tears ran
from my eyes, physically, literally,

47:29.480 --> 47:32.700
but there were tears from the heart.

47:33.420 --> 47:38.840
There was something that told me and made
me feel that I was not only crying,

47:40.140 --> 47:45.640
despite the comfort, despite the promise,
despite the offer.

47:46.940 --> 47:53.700
My heart began to cry, but I cried with
joy, no longer with sorrow, because when I

47:53.700 --> 47:59.100
cried with sorrow, I saw myself far from
all this reality that the Gospel offered

47:59.100 --> 47:59.360
me.

48:00.220 --> 48:05.500
When I began to approach, because I
already began to give in to the conviction

48:05.500 --> 48:11.040
of the Holy Spirit, and to believe in
Christ, the person of Christ, the

48:11.040 --> 48:16.840
sacrifice of Christ, the blood of Jesus
Christ, when I began to believe in the

48:16.840 --> 48:25.660
power, in the effect of that redemptive
blood, which began to fall on my sins and

48:25.660 --> 48:30.420
transgressions from Golgotha, there on the
cross.

48:30.680 --> 48:37.320
It is then when I began to see that now my
hope, which seemed to be so far,

48:37.740 --> 48:43.580
so far from being fulfilled, from being
realized, because I was already making my

48:43.580 --> 48:50.420
will as a priest, imploring in my will
that mass would be held, of suffrage for

48:50.420 --> 48:54.440
my soul, for the years that had to pass,
perhaps in the purgatory.

48:54.960 --> 49:02.680
And I already had in my will noted the
necessary money, even to pay mass first.

49:06.790 --> 49:13.490
All this fraud to my soul, and mockery of
Satan to my conscience, began to cease

49:13.490 --> 49:20.150
from the moment it began to approach me
and to receive by the word that I read,

49:20.630 --> 49:25.170
that I had memorized, that I had recited
as a priest, but that I could not believe.

49:25.850 --> 49:27.690
I was prevented from believing it.

49:30.370 --> 49:37.090
Now I heard Jesus again, already closer,
and the demons that were in me,

49:37.230 --> 49:40.430
as it happened in the purgatory,
were already beginning to give in,

49:40.630 --> 49:43.410
because Jesus was too close to resist him.

49:43.610 --> 49:47.670
They could not resist him anymore,
and they began to evacuate, and they began

49:47.670 --> 49:52.950
to ask, please let me go here or there,
because Jesus was still approaching.

49:53.570 --> 49:56.110
I was believing his word.

49:58.370 --> 50:06.130
Whoever believes and is baptized will be
saved, but whoever does not believe will

50:06.130 --> 50:07.290
be condemned.

50:10.540 --> 50:16.130
With how much guarantee the Lord is
pronounced, who even enumerates what had

50:16.130 --> 50:21.710
to happen from the moment that in an act
of faith this promise was believed,

50:22.150 --> 50:26.330
in an act of repentance was received,
because he already enumerates,

50:26.410 --> 50:31.250
even from verse 17 to 20, all the signs,
even that they were going to follow,

50:31.410 --> 50:38.050
not only those who believed his gospel,
his promise of salvation, but they were

50:38.050 --> 50:45.530
also going to follow the word preached,
the written word, to confirm that

50:45.530 --> 50:49.310
manifestation of love, of grace and of
forgiveness.

50:53.560 --> 50:55.060
Erzozism and baptism.

50:56.480 --> 51:03.220
Certainly the priest uses water for
baptism, but he also uses other elements

51:03.220 --> 51:07.300
that many parents have not been able to
identify in the sacred scriptures,

51:07.660 --> 51:08.360
and it is not possible.

51:09.280 --> 51:16.160
Just as I could not identify from erzozism
to Catholic baptism, no person can

51:16.160 --> 51:20.440
identify through these means with the
gospel of Jesus Christ.

51:22.320 --> 51:28.840
Tragedy, pain, a lot of pain, because it
is what you believed that identified him

51:28.840 --> 51:29.640
with Christ.

51:29.940 --> 51:34.380
Even more, they told us that the same
sacrament of baptism was already that

51:34.380 --> 51:40.500
heritage, that the blood of Christ was
already on us.

51:41.100 --> 51:43.500
The blood of Christ was already coming to
us.

51:44.240 --> 51:46.060
However, everything the opposite.

51:47.960 --> 51:52.400
In fact, we were under a promise that we
ignored, because in a state of innocence,

51:52.780 --> 51:57.080
not only the priest ignored her in a state
of reason, and the religious people

51:57.080 --> 52:00.280
ignored her in a state of reason,
but the child in a state of innocence was

52:00.280 --> 52:03.640
already under the promise of Christ.

52:03.880 --> 52:12.220
Be Catholic, be Mahometan, be Buddhist,
be Hindu, be Satanist, born wherever that

52:12.220 --> 52:12.800
creature is born.

52:12.800 --> 52:18.480
In a state of innocence, she is already a
heir to Christ if she dies.

52:18.900 --> 52:23.420
It does not matter what religion she is,
it does not matter in what religion she

52:23.420 --> 52:28.180
has been educated, it does not matter in
what precepts of liturgy she has been

52:28.180 --> 52:32.600
taught, that child is under the promise of
Christ.

52:33.220 --> 52:38.940
Jesus says, of such, of such, in the
plural, whoever, born wherever,

52:38.940 --> 52:44.260
come from whatever religion, of such,
of such children, in a state of innocence,

52:44.640 --> 52:48.420
is, is, is, is the Kingdom of God.

52:53.210 --> 52:59.690
Faced with this reality, I begin to see
that I become a Catholic not because of

52:59.690 --> 53:05.130
the Gospel, but on the contrary,
because of the perversion of the Gospel.

53:05.630 --> 53:11.590
In other words, because of the perversion
of the Gospel, because of the perversion

53:11.590 --> 53:15.970
of the Gospel, not because of the Gospel,
see the difference, not only hear it,

53:16.290 --> 53:23.790
see it, see it, as I could see it,
at the time and in the need of my Savior,

53:25.030 --> 53:26.350
of my salvation.

53:27.270 --> 53:28.690
We must see it.

53:32.010 --> 53:38.190
Certainly, and here, the promise,
more the one who does not believe will be

53:38.190 --> 53:41.570
condemned, it is a promise, but it is in a
negative direction.

53:42.130 --> 53:43.590
What are you going to decide?

53:44.090 --> 53:45.350
To debate the Gospel?

53:45.790 --> 53:46.770
To discuss it?

53:47.230 --> 53:48.350
To contradict it?

53:48.790 --> 53:50.150
To continue perverting it?

53:51.330 --> 53:52.670
Or to believe it?

53:54.770 --> 53:56.450
What is your position?

53:56.910 --> 53:59.130
Not only, but what will be your
determination?

54:00.090 --> 54:05.770
Faith is with you, even more, it is also a
promise of the Holy Spirit.

54:06.010 --> 54:08.110
It says, faith comes by hearing.

54:08.370 --> 54:10.690
It was not in you, it was not with me.

54:12.110 --> 54:16.030
It comes by hearing the word of God.

54:17.330 --> 54:23.570
This is the moment that you need to make a
decision special, I say it is special

54:23.570 --> 54:24.430
because it is unique.

54:26.550 --> 54:32.070
The one who believes and is baptized will
be saved, more the one who does not

54:32.070 --> 54:33.590
believe will be condemned.

54:33.590 --> 54:36.510
You need to take that step.

54:36.790 --> 54:38.750
You need to become a Christian.

54:39.330 --> 54:41.190
You need to become a Christian.

54:41.950 --> 54:51.450
This is why the Gospel was decreed to be
preached to every creature so that you can

54:51.450 --> 54:57.790
be saved, and that already makes you a
Christian.

54:58.230 --> 54:58.610
Christian.

54:59.490 --> 55:04.730
It is not by name, it is not by baptism,
it is not by religious profession,

55:05.350 --> 55:11.430
it is because you believe the Gospel of
Jesus Christ to which Christ declared

55:11.430 --> 55:18.790
through his apostles that you would come
to receive the faith that is now available

55:18.790 --> 55:26.150
for you to receive and believe the person
and believe the sacrifice and believe the

55:26.150 --> 55:27.630
promises of Jesus Christ.

55:27.630 --> 55:32.910
The one who believes in me, says Jesus,
even if he is dead, he will live and live

55:33.610 --> 55:34.270
eternally.

55:35.530 --> 55:36.350
Do you believe that?

55:36.990 --> 55:37.710
Do you believe it?

55:38.650 --> 55:40.950
If so, take that step.

55:41.430 --> 55:42.370
Jesus is waiting for you.

55:42.770 --> 55:45.390
He says, here I am at the door and I call.

55:46.190 --> 55:55.090
If anyone hears and opens, I will enter
him and dine with him and he with me.

55:55.090 --> 56:00.210
Jesus is at the door of your heart,
everything you need, with the faith that

56:00.210 --> 56:04.050
the Holy Spirit offers you to believe your
person.

56:04.590 --> 56:07.990
Now you can come believing his Gospel to
him.

56:08.450 --> 56:09.630
He is waiting for you.

56:09.950 --> 56:10.590
Do not be late.

56:11.290 --> 56:12.210
Jesus is here.

56:12.630 --> 56:14.790
Father, receive this hour.

56:15.450 --> 56:17.110
To whom now they invoke you.

56:17.430 --> 56:23.130
It is written that whoever invokes your
name, the name of the Lord, will be saved.

56:23.690 --> 56:27.170
Now I give you thanks for those who
already confess you.

56:28.270 --> 56:31.590
In the name of Jesus I adore you and bless
you.

56:31.830 --> 56:32.070
Amen.
