- 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, fifth
- 0:39Sunday of Lent and we read the Gospel of John. Among those who had
- 0:45come to celebrate the feast were some Greeks who approached Philip of Bethsaida of Galilee.
- 0:53They begged him. Lord we want to see Jesus. Philip went to
- 0:57tell him Andrew and Andrew and Philip went to tell Jesus. Jesus answered them.
- 1:03The time has come for the son of man to be glorified. Really.
- 1:08I' m telling you. If the grain of wheat does not fall
- 1:11to the ground and dies, it is infidel. But if he dies,
- 1:15it produces a lot of fruit. He who loves himself loses himself and he
- 1:19who hates himself. In this world it will be saved for eternal life.
- 1:25Whoever wants to serve me, follow me and wherever I am there will also
- 1:29be my servant. Whoever serves me, the father will honor him. Now
- 1:34my soul is agitated and what will I say, Father. Get me out
- 1:38of this hour. But if for this I have come into the world for
- 1:42this hour father, glorify thy name, then came a voice from heaven.
- 1:48I' ve glorified him and I' ll glorify him again. The people
- 1:52who were there and heard it. He said it was thunder. Others said
- 1:56an angel had spoken. Jesus did take the floor and said this voice has
- 2:01not come for me, but for you. Now the world will be judged.
- 2:07Now the prince of this world is to be cast out. And when
- 2:10I am lifted up upon the earth, I will draw all to me.
- 2:15This he said, implying the death that he was going to die. This
- 2:21passage of the Gospel takes place in Jerusalem, now approaching the Feast of Easter,
- 2:28which will be the last feast of Easter lived by Jesus. Jesus by
- 2:31that time has already resurrected Lazarus and entered triumphantly through the eastern gate of the
- 2:38Temple, which we celebrate on Palm Sunday. The name of Jesus is in
- 2:44everyone' s mouth and his presence in the city does not go unnoticed for
- 2:51the Passover Feast. Jews came from everywhere. Therefore, these Greek Jews approach
- 2:55the apostles with the desire to know him and ask Philip precisely why he is,
- 3:00because Philip is a Greek man. That was the name of the father
- 3:08of the most famous Alexander the Great in the fourth century B C. Surely,
- 3:13those men thought that having Philip a Greek man, he would empathize with
- 3:19them and help them to know Jesus. And so it was. Finally he
- 3:23is presented and Jesus then speaks of his glorification. Centuries before the term of
- 3:30linguistic construction existed in philosophy, Jesus already deconstructs the term of glorification and here
- 3:37I do a cultural parenthesis of construction. It is an intellectual approach used to
- 3:46understand the relationship between a text, a word and its meaning. The deconstruction,
- 3:52thus understood, was coined by the 20th century French philosopher JAX of Rid.
- 3:58De Rida opposes platinum. Just as platoon defended the existence of true and
- 4:04eternal essences that take precedence over appearances. Deconstruction places emphasis on the temporary and
- 4:12ephemeral appearance that takes precedence over essence or suggests that the essence of things is
- 4:17their appearance. Something is just what it appears to be and while it appears
- 4:26to be, something is the meaning we give to that something. And the
- 4:29meaning can change. The core of deconstruction as a thought movement is the destabilization
- 4:34of our previous mental categories. It is clear that this may seem boring and
- 4:44abstract to us, but ideas really have consequences. The society today, where
- 4:48everything flows, where everything changes, is the daughter of deconstructionism, as a
- 4:54layman disassembles and assembles a new one with another form. The same is true
- 4:59of the meaning of words, and this is reflected in how a new meaning
- 5:03has been elaborated or reworked for words such as masculinity, femininity, gender,
- 5:10sexuality, marriage, family, embryo, etc. The above meaning is dismantled
- 5:15and given a new one. Well, Jesus deconstructs the human concept of glorification.
- 5:21And it gives new meaning to that word. Jesus tells the Greeks the
- 5:26time has come to be glorified. And that first part must have charmed the
- 5:31Greeks why, because they had in their minds the concept of glorification that brought
- 5:35them their culture, their history. These Greeks had the concept of glory,
- 5:42inherited from Antiquity and embodied in the figure of Alexander the Great. No one
- 5:47ever gained so much in such a disproportion of means, nor did he go
- 5:54as far away as he did, nor did he obtain as many territories in
- 5:59such a short space of time as Alexander the Great. When he died in
- 6:00the three hundred and twenty- three before Christ, Alexander no longer knew where
- 6:05to lead his army, for he had conquered virtually everything he had set out
- 6:12to accomplish without losing a single battle. Glorification for the Greeks was territorial expansion
- 6:17and so was understood by Babylon' s nabucodonosor, Cyrus II, the great
- 6:23of Persia. This will be understood by Julius Caesar in Rome, Tila with
- 6:27the Huns, in Europe, Gengis Khan with the Mongols and closer, to
- 6:30our time Napoleon Bonaparte, the Tsars of Russia or more modern and contemporary dictators.
- 6:38When those Greeks heard Jesus say, it has come to the point of
- 6:42being glorified, they surely thought wonderful. It has come at the time of
- 6:46victory, of expansion, which they no longer liked and were surely choked out
- 6:50of construction by Jesus of the term glorifying. Glorification for Jesus is not expansion
- 6:59but dying to bear fruit. If the grain of wheat does not fall to
- 7:03the ground and dies, it remains infidel, but if it dies it bears
- 7:08much fruit. Glorification is not expansion, but fertility. That was not exactly
- 7:15what the Greeks expected to hear. Glory in Hebrew is called cabot and literally
- 7:21means splendour weight. To give glory would be to show the weight, in
- 7:29this case, the weight of God' s love. Jesus. I'
- 7:32ll be saying then it' s time to prove who I am and I
- 7:38' ll do it by showing you how far my love can go. It
- 7:40has come to the point of being fruitful and the personal price that Jesus pays
- 7:46to fulfill that is very high. His own life now affirms my soul is
- 7:51troubled in Greek. Te Taractai of the verb Taraso Jesus, is quoting Psalm
- 7:58forty- two in Hebrew cries out my soul is in me downcast. This
- 8:03Greek verb tarazo means to shake and remove the water and is the opposite of
- 8:11tranquility. Jesus does not utter the discourse of glorification from a pulpit in the
- 8:18arch of triumph, but in the waiting room of the gallows of the Cross.
- 8:24Perhaps today, fifth Sunday of Lent, is a good time to review
- 8:28and deconstruct certain concepts in our lives, which we understand by success, by
- 8:33happiness, by love and allow the Gospel to enlighten us in its new meaning
- 8:39that God bless you the best selection of vegetables, tender and freshly harvested,
