  Frozen foods to isband the best selection of pre- cooked and ultra- frozen

  foods, plant potatoes smuns and much more supernatural, nutritious and easy to prepare,

  find them in all supermarkets in the frozen section. Welcome to this space

  of vitamin or prayer, together with Francisco Hermengold a few brief spiritual Bible thought
• 0:31
  capsules that entertain, teach and lift the soul. Good morning, 15th Sunday
• 0:40
  of Ordinary Time and we read the Gospel of Mark called Jesus to the twelve
• 0:46
  and sent them out two by two giving them. Authority over the unclean spirits
• 0:53
  commanded them to carry a staff and nothing else for the way, but no
• 0:58
  bread, no bag, no money returned in the girdle that they wore sandals,
• 1:03
  but not a replacement tunic that added stay in the house where you enter
• 1:07
  until you leave that place and if a place does not receive you or listen
• 1:11
  to you. As you go, shake the dust of your feet in testimony
• 1:18
  against them. They went out to preach conversion. They cast out many demons,
• 1:23
  anointed many sick people with oil, and healed them. Jesus sends the
• 1:29
  disciples two by two to have a first missionary experience and gives them a series
• 1:34
  of advices that may seem somewhat strange and far from our reality to us,
• 1:40
  men of the 21st century. We will try to understand the historical context of
• 1:48
  such advice and update them, as far as possible to a more modern mentality.
• 1:56
  Because Jesus sends the twelve to preach, because good, love is to
• 2:00
  be communicated, to be transmitted, and I make a comparison. When you
• 2:07
  find something very valuable, you face two possible attitudes that you can take a
• 2:14
  path. It' s the way of selfishness. Hiding is or so valuable
• 2:19
  for anyone else to find and enjoy. I just saw a film entitled Gold,
• 2:25
  starring Sac Effron, which crudely shows how much selfishness is capable of taking
• 2:30
  possession of human ambitions in a dystopian world. Two strangers who travel the desert
• 2:39
  by chance discover the largest gold stone they have seen in their entire lives and
• 2:46
  begin to dream of the wealth that will bring them. But greed takes the
• 2:52
  reins I no longer give spoiler, but in the depths of such greed,
• 2:57
  from my point of view, the reasoning time hides, this valuable object.
• 3:01
  In this case gold is limited. It is very large, but limited is
• 3:06
  not infinite. It can' t reach everyone if others have it. I
• 3:10
  lose. So, I have to keep it for myself and not share it.
• 3:15
  And then there' s the path of generosity. When we are faced
• 3:20
  with something extremely beautiful, for example, a painting, a work of art,
• 3:24
  a book, a film that really touches our heart, it is normal
• 3:29
  that the desire to share that good is born inside us You must read this
• 3:34
  book or go to this museum and see such a work, or see this
• 3:38
  play, this film, etc. What reasoning is there in the background,
• 3:43
  this valuable object is infinite. Its value will never be exhausted. So,
• 3:46
  it' s enough for everyone. If others have it, I don'
• 3:50
  t lose. Moreover, I gain from the authentic experience of faith. We
• 3:54
  follow the second path, the path of generosity. I want to share it,
• 4:00
  because I know what' s there for everyone. It' s an
• 4:02
  unlimited, infinite background. Second, Jesus sends the apostles two by two.
• 4:11
  For this fact there is a variety of possible interpretations, because the Gospel does
• 4:15
  not explain the exact motives and here some explanations. In Jesus’ day,
• 4:21
  everything based on the testimony of two witnesses was considered true and two by two
• 4:28
  would then add credibility to the testimony of the apostles. Some see in this
• 4:35
  shipment. In pairs, the fact that one holds the other, especially in
• 4:41
  times of weakness and tiredness. Another interpretation may be that God uses our humanity,
• 4:49
  that is, our personality, our temperament, our qualities and talents to
• 4:55
  evangelize. In this sense, going two by two helps that if one cannot
• 4:59
  get into someone’ s heart, perhaps the other can, because he has
• 5:03
  another personality, another way of acting, of behaving. Each one is different
• 5:10
  and each one enriches in his own way. That' s why you can
• 5:15
  enrich others in your own way. God can use your culture, your love
• 5:18
  for reading, your hobby for music, your talent for art, for singing,
• 5:21
  your talent for mathematics, your organizational ability, your improvising ability, your
• 5:25
  strong sensitivity, your ability to remain calm. Each of us is valuable in
• 5:34
  our own way to each other and we all complement each other with the bad
• 5:41
  ones. It would be if we were all exactly the same other option.
• 5:46
  Going two by two can also mean that the most important element in evangelization is
• 5:50
  not so much what I say, but as I treat others, preaching with
• 5:56
  witness. Pope Paul VI, the contemporary man, said that he listens more
• 6:03
  to those who bear witness than to those who teach, because they bear witness
• 6:10
  to a third idea and commanded them not to take anything for the road.
• 6:15
  This can also be interpreted in several ways. A first may be the urgency
• 6:21
  of going out to preach when someone leaves for a trip, usually thinks well
• 6:27
  in advance of the preparation of the suitcase, where to take everything necessary,
• 6:32
  clothes to provisions money and makes a list so that then nothing is forgotten,
• 6:36
  unless the urgency is such, and many of us have lived emergency such that
• 6:43
  there is no time for anything. Then you leave home with the opposite,
• 6:47
  because the reason that leads me to do so is so urgent that I don
• 6:51
  ' t even have time to prepare anything. This would then be the character
• 6:56
  of the mission that Jesus entrusts to his disciples. It is something that admits
• 7:00
  no delay. A second interpretation is to learn to put our security in God
• 7:09
  and not in material things, although these are important. The fruitfulness of evangelization,
• 7:15
  the fruit of mission, does not lie in the quality of facilities.
• 7:19
  The potency of material means or other elements that make me humanely more effective are
• 7:26
  important. They help, but evangelization cannot put all its weight in it.
• 7:33
  Another more general reflection on this is that when you do, for example,
• 7:39
  the Camino de Santiago, you learn as you walk that in life you have
• 7:43
  to travel light baggage and that, in reality, few things are enough to
• 7:47
  be happy A fourth reflection on the recommendation not to go from house to house.
• 7:57
  In Middle Eastern culture, the law of hospitality is still very important today,
• 8:01
  Jewish hospitality commanded villagers to receive and provide for those traveling when an outsider
• 8:07
  entered the Village. It was not his duty to seek hospitality, but the
• 8:16
  obligation of the village to offer it to him. The apostles were to accept
• 8:20
  hospitality as it was given to them at that time and conform to what they
• 8:26
  were offered. Conformity also helps us, namely, to accept those things of
• 8:31
  life that we cannot change. It does not mean that we do not have
• 8:37
  healthy ambitions to overcome ourselves and to offer a better life to our loved ones,
• 8:43
  of course, but to know how to take that inner step of that
• 8:46
  attitude, to accept what I have and also to accept what I do not
• 8:48
  have. Sometimes we compare a lot with the neighbors, the type of vacation
• 8:54
  they have, the cars they carry, the house, they have bought,
• 8:56
  the hotels where they stay, the, the photos that go up to their
• 9:01
  social networks and I, of course I can not stay behind Some feel that
• 9:07
  pressure more intensely. Others, perhaps the passing of the years, have been
• 9:11
  given another perspective of life and have already released that pressure. Then there'
• 9:18
  s the Council to shake the dust off your feet. The Jewish people shook
• 9:22
  the dust from their feet as they left a Gentile place, from a pagan
• 9:26
  place. In doing so, they symbolized that they would not take anything from
• 9:31
  that pagan world with them. The Christian is not called to isolate himself in
• 9:37
  a bubble, to relate only to those who appreciate and live the faith.
• 9:41
  If we do that, our intellect and probably our apostle’ s heart will
• 9:48
  go into laziness. We are called to go out into the court of the
• 9:52
  Gentiles, to relate to those who do not know Christ, to those who
• 9:58
  do not think like us, but it does not mean that we must adapt
• 10:03
  to pagan ambitions, aspirations and customs. That' s what it means to
• 10:09
  shake the dust off your feet I come in contact with you. I make
• 10:13
  known to you the Gospel, I make known to you the Message of Christ,
• 10:18
  but I do not adapt to pagan traditions and customs. I end up
• 10:24
  going back to the beginning of reflection. In conclusion, before the treasure of
• 10:28
  faith, what attitude I wish to take that of selfishness or generosity. If
• 10:35
  it is the second, let us take into account the advice that Jesus gives
• 10:39
  us in this Gospel, that God bless you with delicious paila ice creams,
• 10:48
  made with fruit and natural ingredients, blackberry, guanabara, naranquilla and chocolate,
• 10:54
  an ideal dessert to share it as a family food. With which the two
• 10:58
  isman I find light in all the supermarkets in the frozen section
