  capsules that entertain, teach and lift the soul. Good morning, third Sunday
• 0:40
  of Lent and we read the Gospel of John The Passover of the Jews was
• 0:46
  approaching and Jesus went up to Jerusalem and found in the temple the vendors of
• 0:52
  oxen, sheep and doves and the changers sitting and making a scourge of lambs,
• 0:58
  threw them all out of the temple sheep and oxen and scattered the coins
• 1:03
  to the changers and overturned the tables And to those who sold doves he said
• 1:07
  take them away. This right here doesn' t turn into a market.
• 1:12
  My father' s house, your disciples remembered what is written. The zeal
• 1:19
  of your house devours me. Then the Jews intervened and asked him what signs
• 1:25
  he showed us to do so. Jesus answered," Destroy this temple,
• 1:30
  and in three days I will raise it up" The Jews replicated forty-
• 1:34
  six years. It' s been hard to build this temple, and you
• 1:38
  ' re gonna build it in three days. But he spoke of the temple
• 1:42
  of his body and when he rose from the dead, the disciples remembered what
• 1:47
  he had said and believed in the scripture and the word that Jesus had said.
• 1:53
  The Temple of Jerusalem, in Jesus’ day, was a majestic building,
• 1:59
  but its history is not free of blood. Built by David and Solomon
• 2:04
  around the year 1000 B C. It was completely destroyed by Nabucodonosor king of
• 2:10
  Babylon, in the first century B C, during the exile of the Jewish
• 2:15
  people. When forty- eight years later, of Cyrus nabucodonosor king of Persia,
• 2:21
  he allowed the Jews to return to their land, he began to rebuild
• 2:24
  what is called the second Temple. And five hundred years later, the king
• 2:30
  of Herod the Great, of the slaughter of the children of Bethlehem, who
• 2:34
  ruled over Judea as a Roman vassal from thirty- seven B C. Up
• 2:38
  to four to C. It initiated a major renovation and expansion project for the
• 2:45
  second megalomaniac hero temple. He wanted to do something to remember his name for
• 2:51
  all posterity. This project began around the twentieth year before Christ and would take
• 2:58
  more than forty- six years for south to be completed. So in Jesus
• 3:01
  ’ day it would be almost brand new and with all its splendor. The
• 3:07
  most important enlargement took place in the court of the Gentiles. The exterior esplanade
• 3:12
  of the temple consisted of a huge paved square surrounded by columns. It was
• 3:20
  called the court of the Gentiles, because there anyone could access it out of
• 3:25
  a Jewish religion. The Gentiles are the non- Jews. That is why
• 3:30
  it is called the court of the Gentiles. This atrium at Jesus’ time
• 3:34
  had an extension of approximately one hundred and forty- four square meters to give
• 3:40
  us an idea would today amount to twenty- two football fields. In that
• 3:46
  atrium is where Jesus encounters the money changers and animal sellers. Usually these people
• 3:53
  were in the streets surrounding the temple. But since hundreds of thousands of people
• 3:58
  from abroad used to come for the Feast of Easter, the money changers and
• 4:03
  sellers were placed inside the court of the Gentiles so that they could attend to
• 4:09
  the whole crowd. The hundreds of thousands of people who arrived for the Passover
• 4:13
  had to pay the temple fee, but they could only pay in local currency
• 4:18
  and reach them with all kinds of foreign currency, they had to change it
• 4:24
  in the porticos of the temple and for the change, the money changers charged
• 4:29
  very high commissions taking advantage of the high demand. The same was true of
• 4:32
  animal vendors. Almost all the pilgrims wanted to offer an animal as a sacrifice
• 4:39
  for the temple. Animals were to be declared suitable by temple experts. And
• 4:44
  what used to happen is that if they were acquired outside the temple, they
• 4:48
  were declared almost certainly unfit, so it was an obligation to acquire them within
• 4:55
  the temple enclosure, paying up to three times their normal price. The temple
• 5:01
  for the Jews was the most sacred. God already saw it inhabited within him
• 5:06
  and Jesus found that that sacred place had become mainly a market. The essentials
• 5:15
  of worship of God had moved to the background and the least important, the
• 5:20
  purchase of animals and the exchange of coins had become the essential. What was
• 5:26
  initially good and necessary to acquire animals to offer them to God had been perverted
• 5:32
  and corrupted into pure economic gain. A man wounded by sin has the ability
• 5:39
  to pervert, defile and defile that which in itself is beautiful. We see
• 5:46
  it in the temple, but we also see it in other realities. Thus
• 5:50
  today, for example, a healthy sporting rivalry can be transformed into hatred,
• 5:56
  enmity and violence in football fields. A good heart that wants to help another
• 6:02
  person can be transformed into sterile paternalism. A healthy demand that wants the best
• 6:10
  of each other can be transformed into an absurd perfectionism. Prayer can become an
• 6:15
  exercise of self- absorbing. Body mutual surrender within a context of love can
• 6:21
  become a lustful possession. Personal development can be tainted in an excessive selfish ambition.
• 6:30
  The facilities of technology and social networks can be transformed into an enemy for
• 6:35
  the couple and the family. A desire for apostolate and evangelization can end in
• 6:42
  a simple search for statistical growth where only the number of people attending matters.
• 6:48
  The desire to bring others closer to God may end in mystical proposals lacking social
• 6:54
  and missionary commitment, or the desire to help others may end in social and
• 6:58
  pastoral discourses and practices, but without a spirituality that transforms the heart. A
• 7:04
  man wounded by sin has the ability to pervert, defile and vitiate that which
• 7:11
  was good in its origin. Jesus tries to return to the temple his original
• 7:16
  meaning and beauty, and we, who are temples of the Holy Spirit,
• 7:23
  might be able to do a conscientious examination to see what elements are perverting the
• 7:29
  presence of God within me because of bodily or spiritual passions, and try to
• 7:34
  restore to our soul the original beauty. A second reflection is on the IRA
• 7:41
  shown by Jesus at this moment in his life. It is not the Jesus
• 7:46
  to whom we are accustomed, who heals the sick and welcomes the whole world.
• 7:51
  Here we see a Jesus entering the space of the IRA this wrath of
• 7:58
  Jesus is either a virtuous act or a defect of Jesus Christ. There are
• 8:05
  conditions to speak of a Saint Ira tomas of Dominican aquino from the 13th century.
• 8:11
  It defines the IRA as the passion of irascible appetite that tends to destroy
• 8:16
  what is captured as contrary to what is loved or desired. Three conditions are
• 8:22
  required for the IRA to be an act of virtue. First, may the
• 8:28
  action be motivated by charity, by the love that you seek the true good
• 8:33
  of the other person. Second, that the action be proportional to the evil
• 8:39
  that is to be destroyed and, third, that the action be at all
• 8:43
  times controlled by reason in Jesus these three requirements are fulfilled. First, he
• 8:48
  seeks to restore the love of the father in the temple. Secondly, their
• 8:52
  action is proportionate. He knocks down the tables, but does not exert violence
• 8:58
  against people. In that sense, it is condemning an action, but not
• 9:01
  people. And thirdly, it doesn' t get out of control or out
• 9:07
  of control. It is Jesus who dominates the IRA and not the other way
• 9:09
  around. It is surely easy for Jesus to meet these requirements. As for
• 9:15
  us, our personal experience tells us otherwise. Easily when we enter the IRA,
• 9:22
  it is the IRA that dominates us. Let' s look for today
• 9:26
  to enter the temple of our soul and restore something that has perhaps been diverted
• 9:31
  from its original beauty, that God bless you to enjoy freshly baked, crispy
