  prepare. Find them in all the supermarkets in the frozen section. Welcome to
• 0:24
  this space of vitamin or prayer, together with Francisco Hermengold a few brief spiritual
• 0:30
  Bible thought capsules that entertain, teach and lift the soul. Good morning.
• 0:40
  We read the Gospel of Mark. On the first day of the 12th century,
• 0:45
  when the Passover lamb was sacrificed, Jesus was told by his disciples where
• 0:51
  you want us to go and prepare for you the Passover supper. He sent
• 0:54
  two disciples telling them, and to the city a man who carries a pitcher
• 1:00
  of water will come out to you, follow him, and in the house
• 1:04
  where the master comes in to tell the owner, he asks what is the
• 1:10
  room where I am going to eat the Passover with my disciples He will teach
• 1:15
  you a large room on the upper floor, conditioned and arranged, prepare it
• 1:18
  for us there. The disciples left, arrived in the city, found what
• 1:23
  he had told them and prepared the Passover. While they were eating, he
• 1:27
  took bread and pronounced the blessing. He broke it and gave it to him
• 1:33
  by saying take this is my body. Then he took the chalice, pronounced
• 1:38
  the thanksgiving, gave it to him, and they all drank and he told
• 1:42
  them. This is my blood of the Covenant, which is shed by many.
• 1:47
  Verily I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of
• 1:51
  the vine again until the day I drink the new wine in the Kingdom of
• 1:53
  God. After singing the hymn they left for the Mount of Olives. Today
• 1:59
  we celebrate the feast of Corpus Christine, the body of Christ, the real
• 2:05
  presence of Jesus in the species of bread and wine. The Gospel presents us
• 2:10
  with the moment of the institution of the Eucharist. On Holy Thursday in the
• 2:15
  Upper Room, a stay on the upper floor of the house of the family
• 2:20
  of Mark, the evangelist. I propose two thoughts. The first about receiving
• 2:25
  the body and blood of Christ and the second about worshipping the body and blood
• 2:30
  of the Lord Let' s go with the first. In the past few
• 2:38
  months, director Bayona' s film The Snow Society became famous. We all
• 2:43
  know the story. In a thousand nine hundred and seventy- two, flight
• 2:46
  five hundred and seventy- one of the Uruguayan Air Force chartered to take a
• 2:52
  rugby team to Chile, crashes into a glacier in the heart of the Andes.
• 2:57
  Only twenty- nine of its forty- five passengers survive the accident to
• 3:04
  survive the lack of food, taking a very radical step. Survivors agree that
• 3:09
  as they die, they will donate their bodies on the mountain so that those
• 3:15
  who are still alive can feed and survive. This fact, which, seen
• 3:23
  from outside, could seem to be a cruel act of anthropophagy or necrophagy from
• 3:29
  within, was lived as a supreme act of generosity. No one has greater
• 3:34
  love than the one who gives his life for his friends, even related it
• 3:38
  to Christ' s act of giving his own life and giving himself as food,
• 3:44
  as happens in the Eucharist, we commit anthropophagy to Catholics by eating the
• 3:49
  body of Christ. The early Christians in the Roman Empire were accused of being
• 3:53
  anthropophages, of being a kind of cannibals, because it was heard that no
• 3:59
  houses were locked up to eat the body of Jesus. Leaving aside this debate
• 4:03
  about the film of the snow society, it is clear that there is a
• 4:06
  great difference between anthropophagy and the Eucharist. Cannibalism in ancient times was practiced in
• 4:15
  most cases for religious reasons. It was to appropriate the soul or the life
• 4:20
  force of that person by consuming parts of his body. The Eucharist is very
• 4:27
  different for three reasons. First, the fact of receiving the body and blood
• 4:30
  of Jesus only in the form of bread and wine already profoundly differentiates the sacred
• 4:36
  communion of cannibalism. Second, in cannibalism, only one part of the person
• 4:43
  ' s body is consumed, while in the Eucharist we receive Jesus entirely his
• 4:47
  whole body, also his soul and divinity. And thirdly, the flesh consumed
• 4:53
  in cannibalism is of a dead or wounded person, while the faithful who communion
• 4:57
  receives that living sight and Christ suffers no wound. Therefore, the presence of
• 5:04
  Christ himself in the Eucharist is real It is a mystical, physical and supernatural
• 5:10
  reality. At the same time, his body, blood, soul and divinity
• 5:15
  are substantially present in the Eucharist, but we do not perceive the taste of
• 5:20
  flesh and blood because the species of bread and wine remain, that is,
• 5:25
  their flavor, their texture, their size. All nutritionists claim that we are
• 5:30
  what we eat. Feeding allows us not only to have the energy our body
• 5:34
  needs in order to live properly, but also to provide us with all the
• 5:40
  nutrients necessary to maintain good health. When we take the body and blood of
• 5:46
  Christ, our soul obtains spiritual nutrients. Pope Benedict XVI states that, while
• 5:51
  bodily food is assimilated by our organism and contributes to its sustenance, in the
• 5:58
  case of oristia, it is a different bread. It is not we who
• 6:03
  assimilate him, but Christ thus assimilates us to him in order to become like
• 6:09
  Jesus, members of his body and one thing with him. Thus, in
• 6:15
  the Eucharist, Jesus shares his divine existence. We don' t know how
• 6:19
  it happens, but we know what happens and what happens, so that we
• 6:26
  have eternal life in us and live its same dynamism of love. As we
• 6:30
  assimilate with Jesus Christ, we gradually become food and discover that we too are
• 6:35
  bread for others. We eucharist, we transform ourselves into love that is given
• 6:43
  to others. We are now going with the second reflection on madness worship and
• 6:49
  for this I will refer to two English writers. The first is the Irish
• 6:55
  Anglo. If he is Luis, author of Narnia' s chronicles, who
• 7:00
  died in a thousand nine hundred and sixty- three, at the age of
• 7:03
  sixty- four, three years after his wife, named Joey, died,
• 7:11
  we all know the function of the famous Narnia Closet, through which children pass
• 7:15
  from their world to the land of Narnia. The Christ present in the Eucharist
• 7:20
  is the Christ who has triumphed over death and who reigns in Eternity where they
• 7:25
  are already. I want to think of my loved ones, already deceased.
• 7:29
  Well, without pretending to be disrespectful, I could say that the Eucharist resembles
• 7:34
  that Armory of Narnia, because in contemplating it, I am contemplating eternity.
• 7:40
  Heaven to worship paristia is to look mystically into eternity, into that eternity that
• 7:46
  is already waiting for me and there to meet all my loved ones who are
• 7:50
  already enjoying life with capital. And the second author is Chesterton, who died
• 7:58
  in a thousand nine hundred and thirty- six years ons, sixty- two
• 8:01
  years old, writer, philosopher and journalist very prolific and of super sharp wit.
• 8:07
  In his book Orthodoxy, in which he reflects on Christianity and its own
• 8:11
  process of conversion to faith, he affirms referring to the sun, which is
• 8:16
  the only part of creation that we cannot look directly at. It is,
• 8:22
  at the same time, the one in whose light we see everything else,
• 8:26
  like the sun at noon, the mystery of God, in his triumphant invisibility,
• 8:31
  illuminates everything else. I believe that this quotation can be applied to the
• 8:37
  mystery of the Eucharist. We cannot physically see Jesus in the Eucharist, but
• 8:41
  to worship him opens up the possibility of seeing all the spheres of our life
• 8:46
  in the light of Jesus' love, that God blessed you enjoy the ideal
• 8:56
  balance of natural fruits and vegetables in one product. Smooris Isman are ultra-
• 9:03
  frozen and come in practical to ready- to- prepare Chets. They don
• 9:07
  ' t contain added sugar. Eat them at breakfast, after your training or
• 9:11
  at any time of day frozen food isman find them in all supermarkets, in
• 9:18
