- 0:24space of vitamin or prayer, together with Francisco Hermengold a few brief spiritual Bible
- 0:30thought capsules that entertain, teach and lift the soul. Good morning, 10th
- 0:40Sunday of Ordinary Time and we read the Gospel of Mark. At that time,
- 0:46Jesus came home to his disciples and again gathered so many people that they
- 0:51would not let them eat. When they found out about his family, they
- 0:56came to take him away because he was said to be out of his mind
- 1:02and the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said he had Belzebub inside and
- 1:07expelled the demons. With the power of the head of the demons, he
- 1:11invited them to approach and spoke to them in parables how Satan will cast Satan
- 1:18out. A kingdom divided internally cannot survive. A divided family cannot survive.
- 1:25If Satan rebels against himself to wage war, he cannot survive. He'
- 1:30s lost. No one can get into a man' s house fort to
- 1:36plough with his trousseau. If you don' t tie him up first,
- 1:40then he can break into the house. I really tell you all. Men,
- 1:44sins, and whatever blasphemy they say, may be forgiven, but whoever
- 1:49blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never have forgiveness, will never bear his sin
- 1:55forever. He was referring to those who said Tens had an unclean spirit inside.
- 2:02His mother and brothers arrive and from outside they sent for him. The
- 2:07people I had sitting around say to her," Look, your mother and
- 2:13your brothers and your sisters are out there and they' re looking for you
- 2:15" He asks them who my mother and my brothers are and, looking at
- 2:20those who were sitting around, says these are my mother and my brothers who
- 2:25do the will of God. That' s my brother and my sister and
- 2:30my mother. Two thousand years ago, Jesus was publicly accused of acting with
- 2:37Satan’ s power in the political arena. Today we live in a society
- 2:42where the strategy of mud reigns, which consists of throwing the mud of defects,
- 2:49imperfections, evils, actions, corruptions, indignities, etc in the face
- 2:55of one another. Etc. It seems that the important thing is not to
- 3:01put on the table proposals to build, but the reasons to destroy, to
- 3:09feel ethically legitimized to criticize with the slogan under the arm of because you more
- 3:15the sin of criticism exists since the existence of the human being. Destructive criticism
- 3:20does not focus on analyzing the situation, but uses it as a pretext to
- 3:25address the person, his identity, his qualities, to value and qualify them.
- 3:34Its purpose is to establish a judgment of value of the recipient person and,
- 3:38at times, to infringe on harm or offense. Contrary to the constructive
- 3:44criticism that seeks to hear and understand just as Nicodemus did with Jesus. For
- 3:51example, destructive criticism of the scribes we see in today' s gospel is
- 3:55not intended to understand or show an alternative of improvement. We could say that
- 4:02destructive criticism closes on itself. It does not open up options for learning and
- 4:09what it wants is to destroy the person in front of it. Destructive criticism
- 4:15is usually given because of feelings of envy or jealousy. When someone else has
- 4:23gotten something they also aspire to. Instead of praising achievement and learning to achieve
- 4:28it, we throw mud at it, we feel morally superior to others,
- 4:33bringing out their errors and defects, whether real or invented. Criticism is very
- 4:41easy and whoever is free of sin throws the first stone. We have all
- 4:46discovered ourselves in long conversations in which we criticize someone and after forty- five
- 4:54minutes or an hour in which we have dispatched at ease and cut off others
- 4:58and criticized them to cleanse our conscience. Let go of the phrase or say
- 5:09total who we are to judge others. But of course, evil is already
- 5:15more than sown. Jesus was not without criticism from the Jewish authorities, in
- 5:20this case from the scribes. The scribes in ancient Israel were wise men whose
- 5:29job it was to study the law, transcribe it, and write interpretive comments
- 5:34of it. His task was to study and interpret the scriptures of civil and
- 5:41religious laws and apply them to the details of daily life. Their opinions,
- 5:46similar to those of the current judges of a Supreme Court, were of great
- 5:53importance and became the basis for future interpretations. That set of decisions constituted the
- 6:00tradition against which Jesus spoke very often and for that he was accused and criticized.
- 6:09In Jesus’ day, the scribes were more influential than any other group
- 6:13of leaders. Many of them were even members of the Sanhedrin. Jesus'
- 6:19irruption into the public scene began to take away their prominence, because Jesus gave
- 6:26another interpretation of the law and did so with a great deal of authority.
- 6:30Then they couldn' t knock the message down. The scribes who wanted to
- 6:33knock down the messenger. If social networks had existed at that time, they
- 6:39would have been responsible for undermining Jesus' personal reputation on all social networks to
- 6:45lives and for insulting them. It' s a crime against a person'
- 6:50s honor. It is to express opinions that injure the dignity of a person,
- 6:58impairing his fame or undermining his own esteem. However, the scribes knew
- 7:03that if they spread the mud, Jesus uses the power of the devil to
- 7:09drive out demons, something he would give, for there is always someone who
- 7:13thinks that when the river sounds, water carries. So the scribes were determined
- 7:17to discredit Jesus in front of the people. If they were able to accuse
- 7:24him of acting demonic popotestad, they could even bring legal charges against him.
- 7:29This first reflection invites us to banish from our hearts that inclination that we all
- 7:36feel and in which we all have once again fallen into destructive criticism. Secondly,
- 7:45a second reflection, we do not stop in Jesus' phrase. He
- 7:49who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never have forgiveness, he will never bear
- 7:55his sin forever in what sin against the Holy Spirit consists, if the mercy
- 8:01of God, it is not infinite to sin against the Holy Spirit is to
- 8:07despise the love of God. Those who do not feel in need of God,
- 8:11who do not feel sinful or who do not want to be forgiven cannot
- 8:16receive forgiveness, but not because God does not want to give it to them.
- 8:18But because the person does not want to receive him and, therefore,
- 8:24God cannot forgive him. He feels powerless. Our freedom, which is a
- 8:28gift of God is absolute and God respects it to its ultimate consequences before someone
- 8:35who does not want to be forgiven or who feels that he does not have
- 8:39the need for forgiveness that God can do anything. There, God cannot act
- 8:43like sunlight. You can' t go into a room that has the blinds
- 8:50down, those blackout blinds. Neither can God' s love and mercy enter
- 8:56the heart that remains closed. The door of our heart opens from within that
- 9:03God blesses you. The best selection of vegetables, tender and freshly harvested,
