• 0:12
  smuris vegetable potatoes and much more supernatural, nutritious and easy to prepare,
• 0:18
  find them in all supermarkets in the frozen section. Welcome to this space of
• 0:24
  vitamin or prayer, together with Francisco Hermengold a few brief spiritual Bible thought capsules
• 0:31
  that entertain, teach and lift the soul. Good morning, 12th Sunday of
• 0:41
  Ordinary Time and we read the Gospel of Mark. That day, at sunset,
• 0:47
  Jesus said to his disciples. Let' s go to theory, leaving
• 0:52
  people. They took him away by boat as he was, other boats accompanied
• 0:58
  him. A strong ten rose and the waves broke into the boat until it
• 1:03
  was almost filled with water. He was in the stern asleep on his head.
• 1:08
  They woke him up telling him master, you don' t care if
• 1:15
  we perish. He stood up, rebuked the wind and said to the sea
• 1:19
  silence muted and the wind ceased and a great calm came. He told them
• 1:26
  why you' re afraid. You still have no faith They were filled with
• 1:32
  fear and told one another, but who is this even to the wind and
• 1:36
  the sea obey him. The Sea of Galilee is located about 200 meters below
• 1:44
  sea level and is close to some hills the Golan Heights. It' s
• 1:51
  twenty- one kilometers long and thirteen miles wide. Its maximum depth is forty
• 1:56
  - eight meters, although the average is twenty- six meters. The Golan
• 2:00
  Heights catch strong winds and make them turn unpredictablely. Those winds, which reach
• 2:08
  a hundred kilometers per hour, blow from the southwest and cause great storms,
• 2:14
  usually in the afternoon. When the storms arrive at night they are even more
• 2:20
  ferocious. Sleeping on a small boat in the middle of a storm swung by
• 2:28
  the waves seems impossible. However, Jesus did not wake up before entering into
• 2:36
  spiritual applications to interpret this moment. There' s one thing very clear.
• 2:42
  Jesus was a hundred per cent God, but also a hundred per cent man,
• 2:47
  and as a man, it is clear that he was absolutely exhausted After
• 2:53
  the intense preaching and healing journey he had that day he was so tired,
• 3:00
  so exhausted, so dead that he did not feel the wave movement and he
• 3:07
  was still deeply asleep in the midst of that twilight we will comment on the
• 3:14
  two questions we read in today' s Gospel text. You don' t
• 3:16
  care if we perish. It is reasonable that the twelve apostles were afraid up
• 3:23
  to this point. They have seen Jesus, heal physical diseases, expel demons,
• 3:29
  teach the crowds and argue with religious leaders, but miraculously, they have
• 3:35
  not yet seen anything to indicate that he also has authority and power over natural
• 3:39
  phenomena, such as storms. We can predict, but we can' t
• 3:50
  control. The weather. It is the climate that is imposed on us that
• 3:53
  dominates us. There are so many things in life that we can' t
• 3:59
  control that we' re afraid of. Last Sunday, if we remember with
• 4:02
  the seed of the mustard tree, Jesus invited us to maintain the faith when
• 4:09
  nothing seems to be happening around us, when it seems that nothing progresses,
• 4:15
  when we see nothing, when it gives the feeling that everything is exactly the
• 4:21
  same. In this episode of the storm, the invitation is to keep faith,
• 4:27
  not when nothing happens, but when the worst happens, what scares us
• 4:31
  the most, what we wanted to avoid at all costs, what we do
• 4:36
  not control to keep faith in our darkest moments. Jesus, he sleeps like
• 4:45
  he doesn' t care. At least that is the feeling that the disciples
• 4:50
  legitimately receive. It happens to us too. Events happen too strong for us
• 4:58
  and it seems that God does not care about us. God exists, yes,
• 5:02
  but sleep is a question that is very present among the hearts of men.
• 5:09
  It really matters to God if everything is done, chaos wars, massacres,
• 5:14
  catastrophes, etc. I really care about God and I am suffering from
• 5:18
  this illness or this painful circumstance. If he has allowed this storm and does
• 5:24
  not appear to rescue me, Jesus must be awakened at that time or not.
• 5:30
  St Augustine says yes and explains it as follows. When the wind blows
• 5:35
  and swells and the ship overwhelms, it overwhelms your heart, it overwhelms your
• 5:41
  heart. Just listen to the insult, you feel like revenge, if you
• 5:46
  give in to other people' s evil, you have been shipwrecked. And
• 5:50
  this why, why does Christ sleep in you? What it means is that
• 5:57
  Christ sleeps in you, that you have forgotten Christ or stand, for Christ
• 6:00
  remember Christ think of him. And this is what St Augustine says. Thus,
• 6:06
  when the waves of temptation seem too high, when the darkness of sin
• 6:13
  seems too deep, at that time, we must turn to Jesus for help.
• 6:20
  Suddenly, we discover ourselves in the midst of such difficult and dark situations
• 6:26
  in which we feel so powerless, health problems, mental, spiritual, relational
• 6:31
  problems, etc, that there is no choice but to turn to Jesus to
• 6:36
  save us. It may be that these deep and dark circumstances are precisely the
• 6:43
  occasion to encounter God’ s embrace and power. Another Santa, Santa Teresa
• 6:48
  de Lisie has a different look. She believes that we should not awaken Jesus,
• 6:54
  but that we should have enough faith that he accompanies us, but that
• 6:58
  you do not allow us to die. When is the time of Jesus'
• 7:03
  saving reaction. That' s what we can' t control, what we
• 7:10
  don' t know. Jesus may wake up soon. Jesus may wake up
• 7:15
  later, but it will never be because Jesus, sooner or later, will
• 7:21
  wake up. It may be in this life or it may be in the
• 7:27
  next that it is. It is certain that Jesus will awaken the second question
• 7:33
  we read in this gospel, why are you afraid? You don' t
• 7:38
  have faith yet. Of course, the fear of the disciples was natural and
• 7:43
  instinctive, but where their faith was. The lord put his finger on the
• 7:47
  arrival with his question how you have faith. The greatest danger was not the
• 7:53
  wind or the waves, but the obvious disbelief of the disciples. And so
• 7:58
  Jesus indicated something that happens very often. Our biggest problems are within us,
• 8:05
  not in our environment. The anguish is in the weight we mentally give to
• 8:11
  what happens around us. And a third reflection, a final lesson on faith.
• 8:18
  The apostles had obeyed Jesus, had gone with him in the boat to
• 8:24
  the other shore and still found themselves in the midst of the storm. The
• 8:30
  fact that we are walking faithfully in the ways of the Lord will not spare
• 8:37
  us from going through the storms and storms in life. The Lord does not
• 8:41
  promise continuous times of bonanza to his own or that we will always be freed
• 8:48
  from bitter or perilous experiences, but from what we can be certain in those
• 8:54
  circumstances. It is of two things that the Lord will be with us all
• 8:58
  the way and that nothing can prevent us from getting to the other side,
• 9:03
