  to this space of vitamin or prayer, together with Francisco Ermengold, a brief
• 0:29
  spiritual Bible reflection capsules that entertain, teach and lift the soul. Good morning,
• 0:41
  sixth Sunday of Easter and we read the Gospel of John Jesus told his
• 0:47
  disciples how the father loved me so I loved you. I remain in my
• 0:53
  love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love.
• 0:58
  The same thing I have kept the commandments I feel is my father' s
• 1:02
  and I remain in his love. I have spoken of this to you,
• 1:04
  that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
• 1:10
  This is my commandment that you love one another as I have loved you.
• 1:15
  No one has love greater than the one who gives his life for his
• 1:19
  friends, you are my friends, if you do what I command you no
• 1:23
  longer call servants, for the servant does not know what his master does to
• 1:29
  you I call friends, for everything I have heard from my father I have
• 1:33
  made known to you. It is not you who have chosen me. It
• 1:38
  is I who have chosen you and appointed you to go and bear fruit and
• 1:42
  your fruit to remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in my
• 1:48
  name I will give you this I command you to love one another. We
• 1:56
  continue with Jesus' speech at the last supper, the farewell album to his
• 2:00
  apostles, recounted by the evangelist John. Interestingly, John does not include in
• 2:07
  his narration of the last supper the institution of the Eucharist, but it does
• 2:12
  include the washing of the feet and what we read today the institution of a
• 2:16
  new commandment, the commandment of love. The first thing that draws attention is
• 2:23
  that instituting a commandment is a divine prerogative for the Jews. Only God could
• 2:30
  give commandments to man. Moses received from God ten commandments on the Mount.
• 2:35
  Without there, some 1, 200 years before Christ, only God can give
• 2:39
  a commandment. Therefore, that Jesus says I give you a commandment means that
• 2:46
  he is setting himself at the same level as God. No man in the
• 2:50
  Jewish world could tell others I give you a commandment, because his listeners would
• 2:54
  clearly understand it as something only God can do. What need was there to
• 3:02
  institute a new commandment if Jesus had already summed up all the law and the
• 3:07
  prophets of the Old Testament in the sentence you will love Lord You, God
• 3:13
  with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength and
• 3:16
  the Projimo as yourself? What is new in the commandment that Jesus gives at
• 3:21
  the Last Supper the level of love to which we are called In the Old
• 3:28
  Testament, the commandment was to love the Next as yourself, The measure of
• 3:32
  love was the love with which we love ourselves. Instead, Jesus raises the
• 3:39
  level of love to which he calls us, for it is to love one
• 3:43
  another, not as we love ourselves, but as he has loved us.
• 3:50
  The word as the adverb, as in this case in the Greek version of
• 3:53
  the Gospel is hunted, which is an adverb which means in the same way
• 3:59
  in n or the same measure according to exactly the same strokes. It is
• 4:04
  much more than an imitation of how I have loved you, or, since
• 4:09
  I have loved you, you also love not hunted in Greek makes the phrase
• 4:15
  love you with the same love with which I have loved you. The Christian
• 4:20
  ’ s specific thing is not simply to love, but to do so as
• 4:26
  Jesus did. And how he loved us. He says so in the same
• 4:29
  gospel. No one has greater love than the one who gives his life for
• 4:33
  his friends. The highest level of agape love Greek word used in this passage
• 4:39
  and which refers to the highest level of love which consists of giving oneself to
• 4:44
  the other without expecting anything in return, simply seeking the good of the other.
• 4:49
  As for another, Jesus calls us to express our love for our neighbor
• 4:55
  through gratuitousness by seeking good for him without is or expects anything in return.
• 5:01
  One of the vices of our postmodernist time is the tendency to degrade the value
• 5:08
  of words. St Augustine already said that things are defiled with the use with
• 5:15
  a suit. Villescum claimed in Latin. One of the most devalued terms Nowadays
• 5:20
  it is precisely the term of love that often confuses it with a feeling and
• 5:28
  not as a virtue. The feeling is changeable and agape is not a feeling,
• 5:34
  It is a decision, a determination, it is an action. A
• 5:41
  second idea about this gospel. We are all called to fulfill this commandment,
• 5:46
  the commandment of love. We are all included in this mission to love.
• 5:51
  It doesn' t matter what we do if we' re lawyers, administrators,
• 6:00
  entrepreneurs, teachers, in which field of society we' re working.
• 6:01
  It doesn' t matter. Our mission will always have to do with loving.
• 6:06
  There is no single way to deploy or manifest agape in life. Our
• 6:13
  mission will always be a concrete expression of love. If we see the way
• 6:17
  of the Saints, each one was different they did different things, but the
• 6:24
  common thing was that they expressed love. St Augustine, St Thomas Aquinas,
• 6:28
  St Francis de Asi, St Ignatius of Loyola, St Theresa of Avila,
• 6:32
  St Theresa of Licier, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, St John Bosco, St
• 6:36
  Mary Goaretti. They were all different in personality, but each manifested agap in
• 6:43
  their own context. Today is a day to ask us how I am loving
• 6:49
  in my life, what I do to act that agap in my concrete life.
• 6:54
  And if we still want to take a deeper turn to that question,
• 6:58
  we can ask it to direct God, God, what do you want me
• 7:04
  to do to manifest my agape in life. Let us remember that loving is
• 7:08
  not a feeling that is something that ends within us, but a determination,
• 7:15
  an action. It is to seek one action, one verb, the good
• 7:18
  of the other. A third idea. Jesus, says I have told you
• 7:25
  of this so that my joy, my joy, may be in you and
• 7:29
  your joy may come to fullness. The term joy joy rather than joy.
• 7:33
  That refers to joy in the Greek text says Jara Jara is much more than
• 7:40
  a feeling of joy. It is a state of rejoicing and complete satisfaction.
• 7:46
  Joy is fleeting. The Jara is a permanent state. The essential thing about
• 7:55
  jará is that it does not necessarily have to do with laughter and jokes with
• 8:00
  external circumstances, but is a sober and serene inner state that combines with an
• 8:05
  unspeakable inner peace. That is the goal of Jesus' purpose, in giving
• 8:13
  us that commandment, gives us that commandment to love so that we may attain
• 8:18
  that state of fullness of peace of joy. It' s not complicated life,
• 8:24
  it' s not asking us for an impossible to frustrate. It is
• 8:28
  to bring us to supreme inner peace. And that peace necessarily goes through surrender
• 8:33
  to others. It is not a peace that initiates and ends with me,
• 8:37
  but a peace that goes through the concrete action of helping and being for others.
• 8:46
  The goal of life then does not end in a mysticism of self-
• 8:50
  fulfillment, in finding the peace of the Zen, of wanting nothing, of
• 8:56
  having no conflict. That' s great, but it' s not everything.
• 9:00
  There' s more. The goal of life is not Zen. The
• 9:03
  goal of life is to love. The end point is not me, but
• 9:07
  the other. Christian spirituality must always be oriented towards sending, towards the mission,
• 9:13
  towards putting love into practice. And that' s when we find the
• 9:18
  jarab the joy. It' s not easy, it seems impossible. Who
• 9:24
  can love like this with that love of Jesus no one. But that is
• 9:28
  why Jesus has sent us or will send his spirit at Pentecost so that that
• 9:33
  love is also within us and then we can manifest it. To love like
• 9:39
  him, loved us, means to learn to love others in their misery,
• 9:43
  to be able to reach their darkness and accept to go looking for them in
• 9:48
  their darkness, to love without asking anything in return, just as Jesus Christ
• 9:54
  has done with each one of us. Paul says that God' s spirit
• 10:00
  cries within us, Abba Father. That is just the goal of spiritual life
• 10:05
  to make the experience of feeling truly children in the child capitalized. But what
• 10:11
  does that phrase or expression of children mean in the child just to be able
• 10:18
  to love the neighbor with the same love with which the child capitalizes it.
• 10:24
  To this we are called Hansur von Baltasar, a very important Swiss theologian of
• 10:30
  the 20th century, who died on 26 June of a thousand nine hundred and
• 10:35
  eighty- eight, a day before John Paul II appointed him Cardinal wrote We
• 10:41
  do not know who we really are until we discern what God wants us to
• 10:46
  do. When we discovered our mission, we also discovered our identity. Who
• 10:52
  we are we have been chosen by love to bear fruit of love and thus
• 10:58
  enter into that permanent state of spiritual joy that God blesses you enjoy the ideal
