- 0:13Good morning, friends and friends, I am Julio Pérez and this is the
- 0:21train of life, a radio adventure along the routes of the heart. I
- 0:27want to invite you to travel with me and dream together in a better world,
- 0:34a different world where men and women of good will can live in peace
- 0:38and freedom. The train of life is a magaxin of good news and hope.
- 0:48This is a radio time specially designed for people like you and as so
- 0:54many seekers of truth, of the only truth that can make us authentic,
- 1:00the free mind see you. I invite you to travel with us on the
- 1:07safest train of all, which will definitely take you to safe harbour. This
- 1:15is the train of life. Or very good morning, Spain, bon day,
- 1:53friends and friends, impenitent travelers, tireless of the train of life.
- 2:00Thirty- one year later we continue to travel through the children of the human
- 2:07soul and the most intimate paths of the heart many times and also the present
- 2:13day accompanies us. Let' s go there today too. But very good
- 3:30morning, ladies and gentlemen and ladies and gentlemen, also to all the pilgrims
- 3:38of the waves. It' s a very affectionate greeting from the one you
- 3:42' re talking about. Julio Perez, a good friend, a good friend,
- 3:46I don' t know if to say of the soul. For so
- 3:47long I don' t think it' s because being a friend of the
- 3:52soul is being in the good and bad moments of life and it' s
- 3:57always being very close. No, but here we are. Here, are
- 4:00we with God' s favor? Never better said, with God' s
- 4:04favor. We' re with you on this train. This is a living
- 4:09parable of the things of life the train. The train suggests really impressive route
- 4:19routes. Sometimes there are trains of these mythical, but also in our geography,
- 4:28in Spain, the train is an important element. It is associated with
- 4:35our good way of life. Now at the same time not only has the
- 4:41Euromet and Albia been left behind and I no longer tell the oldest trains.
- 4:48But the train is still a suggestive place. Let' s go reading now.
- 4:55Everybody' s got their tablets, their laptops. There is also WiFi
- 5:01on trains, because what else we want. If this is Hollywood in the
- 5:06European version, and there we are. And that' s where we'
- 5:11re traveling on one ho and the other. And today we will also pick
- 5:13up good friends from this traveling train We will be in first place, today
- 5:19we will pick up our friend Gina, Gina Campallance. Gina Campallance. She
- 5:27was originally an artist, she was a singer there in her years. Well,
- 5:32it' s not that I' m too old, because she always
- 5:38jokes about her own person, but it' s not much less. She
- 5:43is a woman with a lot of nerve, with a lot of determination and,
- 5:49obviously, she is the president of the association to help mourn those who
- 5:56are grieving. Saying goodbye already lost a son in the flower of youth,
- 6:01a boy David, a beautiful boy that I knew very well, the letta
- 6:05boy that things were going very well and in a way also unexpected, suffered
- 6:11an ovite in the sea and well, since I, for imagine for a
- 6:18mother and then, from there, she started, because her process was long
- 6:23to disconnect from bitterness and I do not know of so many feelings found because
- 6:32of the loss of a son in the flower of life. And of course
- 6:40all this to her took her later by a person who always gleaned if a
- 6:46person very quiet for everything, communicator, worked on zero wave also as an
- 6:50announcer. She has been a singer, the woman of faith too, but
- 6:56a very enterprising woman with her husband, Julio architect, a renowned architect there
- 7:00in the city, on the island of Ibiza, And well, this led
- 7:05her to think about helping others, the people who suffer this handicap of the
- 7:12loss of a loved one and organized meetings, conferences, radio programs, she
- 7:19was for a time, a year, she was in Barcelona for professional reasons
- 7:27and the truth that she even worked with us here with a weekly program in
- 7:31wave peace and the program was, say, goodbye and all. And it
- 7:38' s years and the concern for this and it' s still there and
- 7:41it' s still there. In fact, they are going to have a
- 7:43forum, a conference to a workshop shortly that also communicates us of organized by
- 7:47the Spanish Evangelical Alliance also in this regard and we will be talking with how
- 7:58to process, how to manage the loss of a loved one and how to
- 8:05deal with it and until when how to what Well, there are several questions
- 8:09that we are going to ask you to help us to answer them from your
- 8:13experience and that of so many others that you have already seen and heard and
- 8:16have gathered many things. Well, then, this will be the first stop
- 8:18of the train of life with Gina Campalans and we will arrive at the second,
- 8:24our friend, Dr Rocca. Again we' re going to take back
- 8:30the doctor of this traveling train, the train of life with the dotor.
- 8:33Rocca is everyone' s doctor in this house. But today, about spring,
- 8:37that blood alters and allergies shoot, the sacks begin to seem devouring,
- 8:41they begin there to attack all the most hypersensitive places, the allergic vulnerability of
- 8:50human bodies. And there' s the other rock to go through. How
- 8:58to try to see those allergies and also what are the most relevant treatments against
- 9:05allergies. Well, then, we' ll be listening to you here today
- 9:09on the train of life, to our friend, Dr Roca, talking about
- 9:16allergy treatment. Let' s see what he tells us and then we'
- 9:22ll finally get to an interesting station. There we are already going to get
- 9:24a little more sane and we are going to talk to Don Alfonso Ropero,
- 9:31Alfonso Ropero for us Alfons Ropero is a walking library and that is eh,
- 9:37apart from that he is a bibliophile man in the most benign sense of the
- 9:43word, because he has a huge library in his house in Ciudad Real,
- 9:50and he has been for many years Clie' s publishing director. Now he
- 9:52' s retired, but he' s still working on some issues. He
- 9:56is a national and domestic lecturer. He is a historian and also a writer
- 10:03of very good works, and we are going to talk to him today about
- 10:07something he has worked and published in CLI, among other things, and he
- 10:13is the apostolic fathers. We' re not going to see them. I
- 10:16' m going to put in perspective. Those who understand more than they are
- 10:18readers know what I am talking about, but some of us are not so
- 10:22up- to- date about this is the successors of the apostles, already,
- 10:30for example, John Policarpo Tertullian, a little later, Ambrose Gregory and
- 10:37all the fathers of the first century, especially the second century III, especially
- 10:43those first three centuries, who were the men of faith who led the church
- 10:50of Jesus Christ in the midst of those avatars until Constantine arrived and somehow made
- 10:58the Edict of Milan, with the conversion to Christianity of the Roman Empire,
- 11:03which was beautiful. Also at first it was impressive because it was super positive,
- 11:09but then everything became institutionalized and lost vigor, lost strength. Christianity with
- 11:18that, too. But evidently it was also Constantine' s political strategy to
- 11:28unify the empire of the time in the 4th century And well then there were
- 11:35already characters like St Augustine of Hippo in the 4th century and a little later,
- 11:39and the truth that they were insignious characters and others and so many others
- 11:43and what they told us. These men also had to fight heresies, some
- 11:50very important against the Christian faith. But well, Augustine Dipona was an enlightened,
- 11:56he was a teacher of philosophical rhetoric who experienced a dramatic conversion to Christ
- 12:03to Christianity. His mother Monica stole God for her life, because it was
- 12:07once he lived a very dissolute and such life, but very interesting. But
- 12:13then he became a man, a champion of the faith, and he contributed
- 12:16much to Christianity and so many others, and it is interesting to see and
- 12:22all these men have created historical sequences and have led the Church by the best
- 12:28possible ways in the midst of many historical avatars, incidences of kingdoms, attacks
- 12:35and counterattacks, persecutions, martyrs, favors and misfortunes. Well of all good,
- 12:45then we' ll talk to Don Alfonso wardrobe about this issue here,
- 12:50on the train this morning don' t miss it. Today here and on

- 17:48you want to visit our website, the wwwww. Point the train of life,
- 17:55the train of life or better, ladies and gentlemen, we already have
- 18:19our friend China Campallance in the bud, talking to us today about keys,
- 18:27because we need some keys to overcome the mourning for the loss of a loved
- 18:33one. The death of a loved one without a doubt is a traumatic episode
- 18:37for those who live it, for those who go through that experience, it
- 18:42is as if a piece of the world had been completely broken, like a
- 18:47part of the map that had disappeared. For us he has or has to
- 18:52suffer it, he has to learn to live a life in which that loved
- 18:55person will no longer be and it is not easy. It must be through
- 19:00grief and with an emotional response to loss, which is long and the answer
- 19:07is sometimes ambiguous. Not many mixed and painful feelings, but it is necessary
- 19:15to regain stability again. And let' s talk to someone who is precisely
- 19:22president of the mourning aid association, like Gina Camparals, say goodbye also as
- 19:29he told them in his own experience has lived and he has lived with many
- 19:33others who he has accompanied during their lifetime. And there we have it.
- 19:37Gina Campalance, good morning, Gina good morning, July, long time no
- 19:41see. There yes, yes, live and live, virtually wanting to see
- 19:45you and see you, our dear friend Julio, my compadre hears talking about
- 19:49the subject, the theme of mourning is a thing that is always good since
- 19:56you lived the dramatic experience of losing a child. Right, that' s
- 20:02where it all starts. Not sure. Evidently, I never thought it would
- 20:07be for this that I would dedicate myself habitually and professionally. I don'
- 20:12t know what to call ministerial. Or, well, what I spend more
- 20:15time apart from my family, is really this. But, as you have
- 20:21made clear, twenty years ago, our eldest son, we had six children
- 20:26and on September 12 of the year two thousand three, David, who was
- 20:33our eldest son, died of a scuba accident. Then, evidently, our
- 20:40life was paralyzed, so to speak, our happy world up of the great
- 20:45family, for of course, there is a before and there is a after,
- 20:53because you can' t expect anything like that to happen in your life
- 20:57and for any family that suffers a loss of a child, for it is
- 21:04a tsunami, yes, and but thank God, it had to be enough
- 21:12years for me, to put it this way, to go through it in
- 21:18a healthy way. I mean, I' m not traumatized. Our family
- 21:22' s fine. We can talk about David normally without everyone crying. But
- 21:30obviously David' s gone. Then we have had to relearn to live without
- 21:36him, to cling to other hopes, I as a believer to the confidence
- 21:42that one day I will see him again. But you have to relearn to
- 21:49live without the presence of absence, that is, with the absence of the
- 21:55presence of your loved one is not an easy way. As you said,
- 22:00there are no magic formulas, but it is true that there is an ingredient
- 22:06that is what makes the difference and is the attitude. I always say we
- 22:11' ve had hundreds of people we' ve been with all these years and
- 22:18right away, not right away, but soon you realize the person you want,
- 22:22you want to get back on your feet and the one you don'
- 22:27t. Then there are two groups of people. There are people who fall
- 22:33into the poor victimism of me because it has happened to me, because if
- 22:37I am a good one, if I did things. Well, there are
- 22:41people who just don' t understand why it happened to them and then get
- 22:47stuck in this question. And then there are people, because it costs them,
- 22:53but they accept it and then they try to reconnect to life clear tools
- 23:02that they have around them and with what they have, of course, because
- 23:07that' s what we have to learn how we can help ourselves. But
- 23:12someone has, someone has. It is good that someone is next to these
- 23:18people who live in the loss of a loved one, of course. Obviously,
- 23:26recovery will be better if there is a good family support, of friends,
- 23:32of grief support groups, although it is also important to highlight Julio that
- 23:40not all people, i e, need external help. That is to say,
- 23:48I believe that within the human being there are capacities to survive the most
- 23:56tragic events that may occur to us. But, obviously, to have a
- 24:00support around and people who know how to understand that they can listen to you
- 24:07in a quiet, active way, without giving you advice, without making the
- 24:14famous phrases made. It has been God' s will or you will have
- 24:18another son or lived the time. In short, there are phrases that would
- 24:22be better not to pronounce them. But of course it' s good to
- 24:26be with you in this process. What happens many times July is that this
- 24:30is a very long process and most people, both friends and people in your
- 24:37community, of faith or family, are there for a while, but then
- 24:45they get tired, among other things because they don' t know what to
- 24:48do or what to say. Then the person is left alone with it,
- 24:52feeling the same intensity of pain, and it is usually when they ask help
- 25:00groups where they see that already in their environment they do not even dare to
- 25:06verbalize their pain, to express it with weeping, because they think that they
- 25:11are tiring those around them and then they seek a space in which they can
- 25:15be understood, where the common language of all people who meet is grief.
- 25:22It is the language of mourning, of course, because there are the stages
- 25:27of mourning. The confusion, the anger, the anger, the pain,
- 25:30the guilt, the sadness, finally, the affectation and the restoration. These
- 25:37are the seven stages identified. As you identify them like that, I kind
- 25:45of do. In fact, what happens is that many times these stages can
- 25:48be overcome. I mean, I always say and besides, I just lived
- 25:55it a short time ago because the mother of a friend of mine died,
- 26:00the husband of a friend of mine died. So I' d say the
- 26:04first part is like the show, I mean, the person doesn' t
- 26:11just believe that this is happening, even when it' s funny Julio,
- 26:17even when we could say that there was an announced death, not because of
- 26:22a cancer disease, a long illness, like the person should be preparing for
- 26:26the end. And yet, my surprise is that, well, it'
- 26:32s no longer a surprise, but I was shocked, but I keep seeing
- 26:38that people don' t think this is going to happen they always think that
- 26:44there will be a pill or something, a new medication, and that will
- 26:49make the person finally not die. But, as I was saying in that
- 26:52first stage of the shok, the person does not assimilate it. But it
- 26:57has some advantages. This first stage is that it allows you to do all
- 27:03those things that need to be done when a loved one dies, I call
- 27:07you I know how to get in touch with the funeral pomps, do the
- 27:15funeral, the preparations that I tell you. In these days I have been
- 27:18remembering how it may be that Julio and I, after David died, the
- 27:22next day, could be talking to a gentleman quietly, quietly in quotation marks,
- 27:29the coffin you are looking for, the people you are calling the newspaper
- 27:33' s announcement the flowers. But this is because emotions have not yet blossomed,
- 27:41that is, they have not exploded. You' re still in a
- 27:45bubble where you just didn' t believe this. Then, as you well
- 27:49say, there is a whole process at this stage in which it already begins
- 27:53to emerge, since all the anger, sadness, misunderstanding, non- stalgia,
- 28:00well, a whole series of emotions. Then, little by little,
- 28:07one comes to what is called acceptance. And in this process it is when
- 28:15we can begin to elaborate, healthily, because the process of mourning. And,
- 28:22lastly, it would not be emotionally relocating the deceased and continuing to live,
- 28:30that is, adapting yourself to the fact that he is not present.
- 28:33But you' re integrating all those memories that you have with that person and,
- 28:40of course, it' s not about you forgetting it and going through
- 28:44it, but you learn to live without that person, because you should learn.
- 28:52Not everyone gets it, of course. But there' s another one
- 28:56among that you' re mentioned, which is very interesting. There is a
- 29:00danger and it is not to process the duel well, that is, to
- 29:03make a shortcut, a momentary run forward. But if there is not a
- 29:11well- run process, this can turn out to be a boomerang that can
- 29:19turn you back and give you a very strong one in your life. You
- 29:22can' t come down. We are clear, obviously, as I have
- 29:27always said. I mean, grief is not a disease, it' s
- 29:30a natural process, absolutely natural, as it is a reaction, as if
- 29:36you drop boiling oil on it, because you have some burns, then you
- 29:42have to pass some balms, you have to make some cures sooner or later.
- 29:47This is gonna be all right. If you obviously don' t put
- 29:48on the right ointment or don' t put on, don' t do
- 29:52it, this can infect you then with grief at the emotional, psychic and
- 29:59spiritual levels is exactly the same. I mean, mourning isn' t a
- 30:00disease, but if you don' t perform those tasks we call what we
- 30:07should do during mourning, mourning can be conquered. It can become a pathological
- 30:11flight. We can get to have what a deep depression. And that'
- 30:18s when you really need psychological, psychiatric help and there are people who have
- 30:26a hard time getting out because look. I' d like to read you
- 30:30what you' re looking at. This is the brochure that we have from
- 30:32our association can not see no. Yeah. Everybody does, yeah. Look
- 30:37I' d like to just read this to you which is very important,
- 30:45because I think it' s what helps people. It says the benefits of
- 30:49attending groups, of helping grief or not, but what it says is the
- 30:55fact that putting words to pain helps a lot to start healing it. We
- 31:00know that the only way to heal grief is through it and the best way
- 31:04to do so is to experience and express the emerging feelings. The pain,
- 31:11the sadness, the going to, the guilt, the shame, the longing,
- 31:14the disbelief, that is, the tasks of mourning partly have to do
- 31:22with that verbalization that express how I feel. So, in groups, what
- 31:30we do is we actively hold and listen to these people who need to repeat
- 31:37over and over again, because I was at home and the phone rang and
- 31:41they told me that my son had had an accident and we had to go
- 31:45there. Then you' re putting order in the middle of the confusion and
- 31:51you' re slowly assimilated. This is real. Then go expressing how I
- 31:56feel. I feel like that day you might have been mad at your son,
- 32:02at your husband, and a few hours later they tell you he'
- 32:07s dead. Then it' s there. Often the feeling of guilt is
- 32:13left in many of the following. That too, the feeling is curious,
- 32:19but it is very true. Hey people who have got something left behind with
- 32:22that, but or something that hasn' t done well and they think they
- 32:27' re part of the problem causing death and everything, and this is very
- 32:32fustigating. Not sure, that' s very fustigating and then it' s
- 32:37one of the things to try to help the person first forgive himself in case
- 32:43he might have some guilt. That is to say, imagine some parents that
- 32:49it is the birthday of their son, who turns eighteen, buy him a
- 32:53motorcycle, The boy goes out with the bike and has an accident and dies,
- 32:59that, of course, that is left to that family. If we
- 33:02hadn' t bought him the bike, then well, we have to work
- 33:07hard to free people from what good we' re going to see was an
- 33:12accident. Another brother had a motorcycle and it didn' t happen to him.
- 33:15Then it also depends on how the child drove, not that of skipping
- 33:20a traffic signal or running too much or simply that it was an accident.
- 33:27I mean, getting people out of guilt isn' t an easy task,
- 33:30but we' re trying to work a lot on this. No, yeah,
- 33:37yeah, yeah, well, sure, it' s very important.
- 33:39It is very important, after that what remains is also I think that during
- 33:45the meeting groups, where it is verbalized. That is very important, because
- 33:50when people sometimes talk on a recurring basis, they also free themselves from these
- 33:57things. And it is that a group therapy that you also perform, in
- 34:01the groups that you good organize to see. It' s funny, because
- 34:07we say that a meeting group is not a self- help group or a
- 34:13therapy group. A meeting group is a group from which experiences are shared and
- 34:17experience is not considered therapy, but development, that is, groups are not
- 34:23necessarily therapeutic. That' s what I' m talking about. Yeah,
- 34:30sure,' cause there' s that feedback. I tell you, I
- 34:35tell you how I am, what happened to me, and there' s
- 34:38another person who' s listening and maybe he' s at another point and
- 34:42listening to the other person as the tools he' s used to go through,
- 34:50through, help, so there' s a therapy generated among people who
- 35:00are through using the same situation. Yeah, at that level, at that
- 35:02level I understand therapeutic. Yes, but it is true that, as you
- 35:07say, and then there is a question throughout that process longer or more not
- 35:12so long for some and longer for others so many and some lake to others
- 35:17pathological, because never get rid of him that mother or father that carries in
- 35:24the soul this and there is no way. The tragedy that happened with your
- 35:30son or wife or husband is always present. But good memories also when processing
- 35:40those groups, it' s important. Either in family or between husbands,
- 35:46the good memories of the person who is already deceased, disappeared are very important,
- 35:52right. I think so, because they are fundamental, because when a
- 36:00family member is missing, what can' t is not going to disappear from
- 36:06the map of that family. So, for example, since David died,
- 36:10from the zero minute since the first year, we commemorate that day, then
- 36:17we remember David with pictures, with videos, we remember anecdotes, so what
- 36:24we do is that what we should do is not take that member out of
- 36:30the family as if it had never existed. This happens on many occasions.
- 36:37I mean, it' s such a taboo that there' s around the
- 36:42person who' s passed away, that you don' t talk about it
- 36:45anymore. It doesn' t matter, it takes out all the things that
- 36:49were there from that person and because it hurts them, because it' s
- 36:53very painful. At first, I realize that the encounters we have now,
- 36:58after twenty years, or even those we had ten years or fifteen years ago,
- 37:02are not the same as those we had at the beginning. In my
- 37:08case, I used to take a little pulse from the family. How were
- 37:14the rest of the family, because this is very important. Julio. Many
- 37:19times when a mother loses a child she forgets that her other children have lost
- 37:23her brother, that the father has lost his son, that is, I
- 37:28have lost my son, that I carried him in my bowels, but my
- 37:31husband was her fishing companion. They had their brothers. He was a very
- 37:39important figure to them, their older brother, that is, the whole family
- 37:43hurts. Then you have to work with the whole family to help get through
- 37:47it in a healthy way. And it' s true, as you said
- 37:52there are many women who, and above all I wouldn' t say that
- 37:57it doesn' t happen now, but everyone, everyone is. We have
- 38:00in mind the image of these women dressed in black in time in villages or
- 38:06in many places where as a child had died when, therefore, they have
- 38:09stayed there not and is the victim of the family and the family cannot evolve
- 38:15because there is a member is always suffering. Not how interesting the whole subject,
- 38:23talking about how to overcome through grief, a process of mourning, the
- 38:30loss of a loved one. Hey I give a little strike to the interview
- 38:36with one thing that was going through my mind at first and it' s
- 38:40a little bit may seem a little strange, but not to me, it
- 38:45' s not and I would like you to do a reflection on this.
- 38:47I was thinking about the war in Ukraine, the loss of so many children
- 38:55who lose good. Here we have several orphanages, even in Spain, in
- 39:00various places of Ukrainian children, in Europe many and then the women who have
- 39:07lost their husbands countless of them and well, and entire families who have also
- 39:15died from the bombings of this sinister character who indiscriminately attacks Ukraine to invade it.
- 39:28But beyond political issues, that is, the loss of a country like
- 39:30this, the trauma has to be enormous. Huge, right, it'
- 39:38s a country in mourning. It' s a country in mourning and it
- 39:44' s obviously going to leave some impressive sequels. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 39:49we don' t know how long it' s gonna last, but
- 39:52of course, as you say, separate families first. We' ve usually
- 39:58seen most women, grandmothers, mothers with children, fathers stay in front of
- 40:01us on buses. That separation already leads to trauma in families. Then,
- 40:12then, if they find out that the father has passed away, for imagine,
- 40:15this will require many years of help. Let us trust that there are
- 40:28organizations that put in place psychological aid plans, because it is a traumatized country.
- 40:37Yeah, and I' m gonna tell you an example that has nothing
- 40:39to do with it, but just so you see it' s like the
- 40:45tip of the Iceberg last year, not the other one. He died in
- 40:50Ibiza in a French boy from French school. He died tragically, very young,
- 40:57at the age of twelve, making Snorkell also died gado. As David
- 41:04I had an only child and I was called from French school. I was
- 41:10called by the director of the French school to see how we could make an
- 41:17intervention in crisis because the whole school was in mourning. The parents were in
- 41:22mourning, I was in the teachers, the parents of the children going to
- 41:27class with their children were in pain, with this child and all these children
- 41:31who had lost their classmate were in mourning. So, imagine, this child
- 41:38dies because a week before the start of French school, which you already know
- 41:45begins French school usually starts a week before national schools. Then I remember,
- 41:53because having to give talks and help the whole collective. It was a collective
- 42:01duel and I did see the most that impressed me clearly. The parents did
- 42:07not know if they still had to see the parents of this child who had
- 42:13died. The children did not know how to manage the loss of their classmate
- 42:19they had been with since they were five or four years old. No,
- 42:22then we use it. I went with a partner, with a girl from
- 42:28my team who has also written several books about the help of the grief that
- 42:32is called" Thanks life for how to teach children" And then what we
- 42:37did was in class. We took off all the tables and we all sat
- 42:42on the floor, we all sat in a circle and then with a cushion
- 42:47we were passing this cushion as a child. Every time a child had the
- 42:51cushion in his arms, that is, he had it, he had to
- 42:58comment on how clear he felt. The children began to verbalize for the first
- 43:05time what had meant to them the death of nells of this child and then,
- 43:08well, it was tremendous July, when one began to cry and the
- 43:15other began to express that he dreamed of him and the other that he would
- 43:19not see him again and that where he was was tremendous, that is,
- 43:23it was therapeutic and helped them to a barbarity. So I think all these
- 43:28people, especially these kids that you were asking me, what they' re
- 43:30going to need is to verbalize how they feel, that is if they leave
- 43:37it inside. These children may end up very traumatized, but they find a
- 43:45channel through institutions, groups that worry about helping them express themselves. I assure
- 43:52you, they can be fine. You do not understand why they are clear,
- 43:58because in addition to the horror of war, besides the loss, which
- 44:01is the worst of everything and the disappearance of families and sometimes entire cities,
- 44:07the horror of everything, of the noise, of the noise of war,
- 44:12of the situation of chaos. And that must also be borne in mind that
- 44:16I have spoken to many of the Ukrainians, of those who have arrived and
- 44:21of those who have already been here, and the Ukrainian people are a strong
- 44:27people, they are a brave, wary people, it is probably in Europe
- 44:32of those who are most eh and that is good. But yet it is
- 44:36insufficient, because the tragedy is there. But, well, anyway, we
- 44:42do good in help, but good was a note or it' s not
- 44:45okay. I believe that specifically yes. Yes, I do not know whether
- 44:50Ukraine has already entered the European Union, or is about to, not yet,
- 44:53but it is, it will, it will, despite the whole of
- 44:59it. I believe that this would be an outstanding subject for the countries that
- 45:06are neighbouring and that we have not gone through that war to take over.
- 45:12I want to say if, thank God, this war is over and they
- 45:16are starting to return all to their countries and all first of all the state
- 45:22in which they are going to find their homes, their country, their city,
- 45:27that is, this is a collective drama, but I believe that one
- 45:31of the tasks that the rest of the countries have will be to help,
- 45:39to send psychological help, that is, to help alleviate all this situation that
- 45:45all these families have left. No doubt. Surely that is certainly envisaged in
- 45:49the reconstruction of Ukraine. When the war ends one way or another, it
- 45:54will have to end because and then the reconstruction will most require a very,
- 46:00very large, very massive psychological attention. Yes, it' s true,
- 46:08and as far as this aspect is concerned, we were talking about therapies,
- 46:15accompanying water therapists. In fact, you do that, you do it so
- 46:20much with so much affection and with that burden that came up in your heart
- 46:25to help people in this emotional crisis situation. But also, in addition to
- 46:30all the tools that are the most interesting for the day to day, there
- 46:36is also faith and spirituality, truth, also that is an important ingredient many
- 46:39times in this whole process of pain, truth, well, many times I
- 46:45think it is fundamental, because, obviously, I always say that faith makes
- 46:52a big difference. Having faith in God. Having faith in God in the
- 46:58midst of a tragedy like this for me marks two great differences. First,
- 47:05we believe that God is good, this is not a punishment, that there
- 47:09is a purpose behind what may have happened and then we hope that we will
- 47:17meet our loved ones again. So I' ve seen for all these years,
- 47:24as you know, our groups are neither evangelical nor anything, i e,
- 47:30they' re grief aid groups where people come with faith, without agnostic
- 47:35faith. I' ve had even a Muslim woman, we' ve had
- 47:40people with all the philosophies in place, and then it' s clear that
- 47:49lack of faith makes such a thing meaningless. I' ve also seen,
- 47:54unfortunately, Julio. But it is also part of the process of people who
- 48:01have staggered in their faith because it has been raised, as I told you
- 48:07at the beginning, because God has been able to do something to me,
- 48:10as if it were a thing that God, a direct intervention of God to
- 48:15harm you. Then I have seen believing people that their ugly staggered in the
- 48:21midst of this, and yet I have seen other people, for they have
- 48:23grasped more, whether or not they believed. Now we have the case of
- 48:28a man who was not a believer and yet his wife has recently died.
- 48:34On Christmas Eve, his wife dies, on Christmas Day, his mother dies.
- 48:37A few days later he dies of his brother. Then a man truly
- 48:43troubled, a name which he has found in the priest, in the priest
- 48:51who is in the people, for a balm of peace. That' s
- 48:54good, I' m amazed. I' m looking forward to meeting this
- 48:59priest. I' m going to go see him one day because I realize
- 49:04that the person who came in this man, who came in at first a
- 49:07few months ago, who was very angry at everything and I see how he
- 49:12' s calming down. Then he tells us in the groups that I have
- 49:15spoken to this priest and that this priest has given him a series of advices
- 49:22of words that relieve his soul. Then this man is clinging to the faith
- 49:25he did not have before the death of his wife, mother and brother.
- 49:31However, I have other people who were very believers who participated and I am
- 49:38referring to a general Christian belief. Most who connect are Catholic people, because
- 49:45they had their own fellowship that they went to their Masses and stopped going and
- 49:52attending because they were angry with God. Not then, well, what I
- 49:58do in these groups is talk to them about what helped me and I grabbed
- 50:02God like an anchor. You understand I said this. If I' m
- 50:07not holding onto him, I don' t know how I' m gonna
- 50:12get through this. But I can also tell you July that faith does not
- 50:21free us from suffering. Of course not. That is, there are some
- 50:25words of Jesus that say in the world you will have affliction, but trust
- 50:31I have overcome the world. Then I interpret this as suffering. No one
- 50:37' s going to take it from me, that is, I didn'
- 50:42t suffer less because I was a believer. Come on. I spent a
- 50:45long time, but a long time it was a pain in my chest.
- 50:50I remember it was like a daily moaning. Sir, please help me because
- 50:55I can' t stand this pain. What is true is that I never
- 51:00fell into despair. I never let myself be dragged away by the pain,
- 51:07I mean, I didn' t let the pain take over. I was
- 51:10aware that it was a stretch of storm in my life, that I had
- 51:15to pass it. I didn' t know why or why, but it
- 51:20had to be passed. And that' s what I did then. Me.
- 51:23For me faith is my anchor, my anchor, my support, which
- 51:30has allowed me to get here and over the years discover that who could help
- 51:37other people who were going through the mourning, but someone who has gone through
- 51:43it, who is fine, who has regained hope, who has projects that
- 51:46I am happy with. I mean, I' ve forgotten David. David
- 51:52is never the engine of this, for I would not have created this if
- 51:57David had not died. But I' m fine, but I have illusions
- 52:01and I' m able to have a good time and enjoy life. And
- 52:07this I admit breaks the taboo or the idea that it circulates around that if
- 52:15a mother has lost a child, she can never be happy again, because
- 52:19I do not agree. I' m happy. I feel full, I
- 52:25' m excited about a lot of things. I' m still excited about
- 52:30a lot of things in life. I think there are still many adventures to
- 52:34live, but I have had to relearn to live without David, whom one
- 52:39day I will see again hear how beautiful all these reflections, besides this testimonial
- 52:47experience and what we have spoken is magnificent. I think it is doing a
- 52:52lot of good to many people who have lived it, who are living it
- 52:57or who have friends or family in the area of influence. And this is
- 53:00balsamic. And it also guides and helps. And for that very reason the
- 53:07Evangelical Alliance has organized a workshop on Saturday, April 29, which can be
- 53:14by zoo, not for the people who want to follow it. How to
- 53:16create a grieving aid group, right, tell us a little bit. This
- 53:21yes, well, for a while now, well, I don' t
- 53:28know if our listeners know him, but you do, Marcos Zapata, who
- 53:31is the president of the Evangelical Alliance, proposed to me the idea of creating
- 53:37groups to prevent suicide and accompany and help the mourning? Why with the idea
- 53:43of forming, informing, teaching, bringing light to the churches, Spanish speaking
- 53:52with the aim of forming, because there is a lot of ignorance right within
- 53:59the churches in relation to mourning, in relation to suicide. Many leaders may
- 54:07not know how to deal with all these things. So, well, we
- 54:15have created this group in which they are part of different people, among them,
- 54:19so, to see that I' m going to tie up here,
- 54:27is Charo López Pareja, who is a cop, a police girl, and
- 54:30who also created the association Vence that is an association for prevention and help victims,
- 54:37relatives, victims of which have died by suicide. Then there is Hans
- 54:44claus Ewen, who is a German shepherd, as he says a German shepherd
- 54:47who does not bite. In addition, he has written several books about grief,
- 54:52Yes, very good. And then there' s conchi González, who
- 54:58' s in Galicia and she' s a psychologist, she' s frames
- 55:00and there' s me. So, what we' re doing periodically every
- 55:05good x months. We meet regularly every month. And the idea is to
- 55:14teach, teach, teach about different things. We did some workshops recently on
- 55:17the accompaniment in the mourning and charo God on the prevention of suicide. And
- 55:23now this is what he' s trying to teach. The aim is to
- 55:30teach people to create mourning support groups within churches, who may be trained to
- 55:35do so. So, we' re going to teach you how to create
- 55:42a grief aid group, which is a grief help group? How should it
- 55:45work, how should it work or how should it work? Give some brushstrokes
- 55:52so that they begin to see people, specialized groups within churches that can be
- 55:58dedicated, I do not tell you in exclusivity, but that it is another
- 56:04tool for ecclesiastical or ecclesiastical within churches. So, April 29th, as you
- 56:10well said at 5: 00 p m through a link that I guess you
- 56:17' ll spend later. No yes, yes, I' m already climbing
- 56:22it to the wall, to the walls of Facebook and Instagram, to both,
- 56:25then nothing. People just have to sign up. It' s not
- 56:31free, because Marcos has come to the conclusion that free things a lot of
- 56:37people sign up and then they don' t go. No. So you
- 56:38already know that creating these events is not the same platform for a hundred as
- 56:44for five hundred, as for a thousand people. Then it is put as
- 56:51a donation five euros for the person who pays it, because it says hears,
- 56:55because this interests me. I want to do it. Then the organizer,
- 56:59Carlos Fumero, already knows. Well, we' re going to create
- 57:04a platform, they' ve signed up, they' ve written a hundred
- 57:07or two hundred, so let' s see how we do it. Not
- 57:07magnificent, magnificent, done, this is priceless. I' d tell you
- 57:14yes, that' s right here. I think it' s interesting to
- 57:15keep on training and learning and being in order or knowing what' s happening
- 57:22in the world and that we' re people who have some training for different
- 57:29things. I think it' s important that there are people within the churches
- 57:36who specialize in something. I always say ah forgive, no, no,
- 57:40no, go ahead, I believe you I always say that when a person
- 57:46I have a vision of the Church as a hospital, as a place where
- 57:52people arrive with a series of ailments apart from their desire to follow Jesus.
- 57:58But we all come with backpacks. So, if you notice, I don
- 58:02' t know if you' ve had to go to the E R,
- 58:05I hope not, but I, with six children, imagine the times I
- 58:07' ve gone to the E R. So we all know that when we
- 58:10get to the E R, the first thing they do is a triage.
- 58:14No, then, first they take you to a little room where there'
- 58:19s a nurse, where she asks you a series of things and finds out
- 58:23what your discomfort is, what your pain is, and then they already refer
- 58:29you to a heart specialist or a trauma, everything or whatever, not then
- 58:32I think that in the churches it would be good if there was something like
- 58:37a kind of triage. When a newly converted person arrives, let' s
- 58:40see what backpack this person brings, where it comes from, because if not,
- 58:45if you notice, I know we' re drifting, but there are
- 58:50people who have been in the Church for years and years and carry the same
- 58:54backpack. Yes, ma' am, because maybe it hasn' t been
- 58:58figured out, not what it is you' re carrying. And I'
- 59:01m telling you this because I have psychologist friends who have told me that many
- 59:07times it comes to someone with a series of problems and they start throwing and
- 59:13it' s a poorly crafted duel. When they were little, Grandma died,
- 59:17they pulled her out of the way. She never saw Granny again,
- 59:20no one said anything to her, she took away in silence and was traumatized.
- 59:23Or what used to be said was that the children were not taken to
- 59:28the cemetery or taken away because the children had to be taken out. In
- 59:31the midst of all this, I believe that children have to live naturally.
- 59:37What' s happening. Death is part of life and as soon as you
- 59:40see it more naturally, you will be able to live it. And tomorrow,
- 59:45if you have to go through a duel, you' ll be more
- 59:52prepared. No doubt. It' s certainly not very interesting what you'
- 59:54re saying. It' s true that you don' t. And the
- 59:57workshop comes to the hair for it' s a formidable tool. We are
- 1:00:02seeing, for example, suicide assistance also to accompany this is another chapter we
- 1:00:07want to help people. We' ve got it in our DNA. It
- 1:00:12is our vocation to accompany people in their pain and to know how to give
- 1:00:19them some tools or answers in addition to the intelligent company. I said no
- 1:00:24and I was thinking. Finally, already on the subject of everything we'
- 1:00:29ve talked about during the pandemic, people who couldn' t process the mourning
- 1:00:32because they lost their loved ones and couldn' t even see them. But
- 1:00:37a lot, there were hundreds and thousands of people who could not say goodbye
- 1:00:44to their spouse, their son, their grandfather, their mother, their father.
- 1:00:47Well, a tragedy that was a national tragedy, really, totally.
- 1:00:52In fact, I don' t know if you know Julio that I believe
- 1:00:58in grief relief groups. I until then my grief relief groups were face-
- 1:01:01to- face. In my ibiza a beautiful living room with my candles aromatized
- 1:01:07that if the music is in the soft. That is, because it was
- 1:01:12very important to me, because I continue to give it to the embrace of
- 1:01:16the Presence. But all of a sudden, this is over. Then we
- 1:01:21had to look for an alternative and I began to receive requests for help to
- 1:01:28the duel from places that you can least imagine, from the Argentine pampa,
- 1:01:35from Bolivia, from Lima, from different places in the world. People were
- 1:01:38asking me, but you guys have groups online and I said no. I
- 1:01:45' d say no. Me. I don' t know how it'
- 1:01:49s done until I learned when I started seeing so much demand. And that
- 1:01:52' s what I found. A lot of people who maybe, because they
- 1:01:58haven' t seen the family in months. Suddenly they tell him the father,
- 1:02:02they take him to the hospital, they die in the hospital. They
- 1:02:07don' t even know if the boxes that gave them mortuary were their relative
- 1:02:16inside or the covid thing It was terrible, terrible, terrible, because,
- 1:02:22as you well said, performing the grieving tasks is fundamental and one of them
- 1:02:30is the ceremonies. The ceremonies help to put a point and end, the
- 1:02:36encounter with relatives, with friends, to bury the person who has died,
- 1:02:40to fire them to receive the hugs of one and the other. Sure,
- 1:02:45when does this go away? When this disappears, of course people stay?
- 1:02:51It was very painful. But then they started creating groups. He came out
- 1:02:57of the tzoom so people could see each other, even if it was through
- 1:03:00the screen, they could create some sort of farewell ceremony. But, thank
- 1:03:07God, that' s already happened. But we keep the zum that'
- 1:03:10s wonderful. Yes, yes, yes and good And by the way,
- 1:03:14on the 29th of April we go in addition to our listeners, on the
- 1:03:19page of the Evangelical Alliance entered the ueblant and there are all the details.
- 1:03:23Also, on my radio wave page, on the page of the Spanish Evangelical
- 1:03:28Alliance, you see all the details of the day. That how to access
- 1:03:34and everything accurate and understand is very simple. You' ll have to fill
- 1:03:39out a form and it' s already there. Then on the 29th,
- 1:03:43which is a Saturday, we will connect at five o' clock in the
- 1:03:46afternoon and then we will tell a little bit how to create this group.
- 1:03:49Then there will be a round table. It' s very interesting. The
- 1:03:52truth is that the other one we did the previous one had a lot,
- 1:03:57very good acceptance. There were a lot of people connected. And good for
- 1:04:00what they tell us, because then they hang in the Evangelical Alliance, they
- 1:04:05hang articles. And I think it' s a way, like you said,
- 1:04:12of learning about the things we' re needing. Not without a doubt.
- 1:04:17No doubt listen, Gina, it' s been a great pleasure to
- 1:04:21be with you again. I also remember being good at many experiences we have
- 1:04:27experienced. Radio you are a radio woman of the medium too, but the
- 1:04:32year that you were in Barcelona, already with the program and well, with
- 1:04:36two programs also very singular, very relaxed. Uh, yeah, I missed
- 1:04:43you so much when you left that well, I had a good time.
- 1:04:46Thanks for giving me this window, this opportunity, because I had a great
- 1:04:50time. You remember what Julio was called. Yeah, well, one is
- 1:04:54saying goodbye and the other is good. The show you were doing was this
- 1:04:59one I can' t believe. I can' t believe it. That
- 1:05:02' s true, but besides, it was very original things that were being
- 1:05:06dealt with. It was the idea, not to rescue things that happen in
- 1:05:12the world you say. I can' t believe people put their faith maybe
- 1:05:15in bottles of bottled water that I know is going to do, I don
- 1:05:20' t remember anymore, but the truth is I had a good time,
- 1:05:24all right, all right. You have an extraordinary station and there we go
- 1:05:30well, as I send you a very affectionate hug and a greeting towards July
- 1:05:34and at any moment we can see ourselves until soon gins, but until soon
- 1:05:40chao chao. Thank God, I can, too. The greatest pain occurs
- 1:06:08when the most we want the pain or the greatest comes to us as a
- 1:06:18blow to the heart without warning today that we are no longer there, today
- 1:06:29that I have this pain and feel a great void and I can not fill
- 1:06:35today that is no longer this only remains in the moments that gives the lived
- 1:06:45to travel. He never dies when he leaves, he just dies You just
- 1:06:53want to forget. Now you' re everywhere you' re part of my
- 1:06:59life. From where you are and to heal my wounds, never die who
- 1:07:09goes only die you want to forget? Today I feel you everywhere, in
- 1:07:16a gasta, in a burning flame you are my angel you wink at me.
- 1:07:25Never dies who leaves love never ends. Grievous pain can sustain us and
- 1:07:42you are not reminding anyone of the greatest pain. Only time takes it away,
- 1:07:53although a moment today that is no longer having this pain and being great
- 1:08:02emptiness, I cannot fill today that it is no longer only left in the
- 1:08:13moments that give the lived rough age. Who ever dies, who just dies,
- 1:08:24who forgets? Now you are everywhere pathetic beings of my life, from
- 1:08:31where you are dry, my wounds, never dies, that you leave only
- 1:08:44dies what you forget today saying everywhere in a mestá in a burning flame you
- 1:08:50are my angel you guide me. Never die who goes love, never,
- 1:09:04nothing, Never finish my project study in the United States and teach them how
- 1:09:15to play football They are really Emilio and Raúl and one of them has schizophrenia,
- 1:09:19but their dreams, like those of anyone else, have no limits.
- 1:09:23Let' s not put them on us. Integration is always the best response
- 1:09:27for the social inclusion of people with mental health problems, Ministry of Health,
- 1:09:30Social Services of Equality, Government of Spain. I' m up to it.
- 1:09:34I' ve got two sorroco left They won' t sneeze at the
- 1:09:39bartender I don' t panic between the containers. We can have a new
- 1:09:40life or the cereal house you' re right. We can be useful and
- 1:09:44do not recycle with forty plastic bottles. If you make a lining for the
- 1:09:45or libri say yes and this stem we will do. What a quaqui bike
- 1:09:50and give a new life to the containers. Put them in their container and
- 1:09:55take care of the environment. How much to give a new life packaging recycles
- 1:10:00San Marcos and COHENMBS communities. Never leave me alone in the bathtub or places
- 1:10:05with water. Don' t let them emit luis fingers on a plug.
- 1:10:10Don' t leave me at the age of an open window. I told
- 1:10:13to my tosic substances, to micamientos, you already let me swallow the small
- 1:10:18pieces of toys. If you neglect your eyes, you can be dangerous to
- 1:10:23your children. Don' t neglect to avoid accidents. For what you want
- 1:10:26most Ministry of Health and I consume a government of Spain or you travel on
- 1:10:34the train of life and we have arrived as well as the one that does
- 1:10:50intentionally want the thing to Dr Rock' s medical consultation. There are the
- 1:10:56different allergies and their possible treatments for them. The other rock is going to
- 1:11:01help us a little bit figure out the primary reasons for allergies. Come on,
- 1:11:13Dr Rocca, you wanted a friend Hi, Julio. Allergies are expected.
- 1:11:19There is a certain expectation that they may be somewhat of a source of
- 1:11:26anger. Right. The truth is, we' re already seeing and treating
- 1:11:30patients. They are consulted for this reason, because, for example, an
- 1:11:35allergy to our listeners is a reaction of our immune system. Those who suffer
- 1:11:42from it toward something that does not bother most other people, but those who
- 1:11:46have allergies are often sensitive to more than one thing. For example, the
- 1:11:50substances that usually cause reactions are pollen, dust removals, mold spores, animal
- 1:11:56dandruff, certain foods, insect bites, medicines that can also cause serious allergies.
- 1:12:09The truth is our immune system, of course this cannot be predicted to
- 1:12:17have a true allergy at any time. The truth is that it is not
- 1:12:25a question that, as doctors ask ourselves very often, it is not why
- 1:12:30in recent decades we have seen so dramatically increase the number of allergic to see
- 1:12:35shame, there always were, but not in the volume in which we have
- 1:12:41been living and searched and searched and there are some answers. We know that,
- 1:12:48apart from the existence of all these allergens, dandruff, animals, mites
- 1:12:54that are in our rooms, our beds, our sofas, in addition to
- 1:13:00the pollens, there must be something else that is the real cause for some
- 1:13:08people to develop an energy that others do not develop. And some answers have
- 1:13:15been shown. One of them is that it seems that there are molecules in
- 1:13:20the air in suspension coming from the combustion of the engines tene and those substances,
- 1:13:30because they are going to terarmamunitarian, in such a way that we have
- 1:13:36greater ease to develop an allergy, a legia always has to be there a
- 1:13:41protein, a protein that is strange in our organism. And when I come
- 1:13:45into contact with this protein, then there' s a reaction. But it
- 1:13:50is not a moderate reaction, but a tremendously exaggerated relationship. It can even
- 1:13:56become dependent on intensity. It can be such. In fact, unfortunately,
- 1:14:00I do not know if you will remember from a few years ago here in
- 1:14:05the Port of Barcelona, that a ship loaded with soy arrived. Yes,
- 1:14:10and it did not happen was tremendous, because there was, indeed, a
- 1:14:16tremendous problem the leaves, not of the elements also frequent. As for his
- 1:14:23polvito, it is that looses that it can cause, because great poems of
- 1:14:29allergy. But here, let' s say, in our area, in
- 1:14:33our territory, we have two large groups that is that of the sacks and
- 1:14:38that is not springtime, it is not related to seasonality, but we are
- 1:14:43seeing all year round and that of the pollens, which is so, it
- 1:14:48is seasonal and that is now at its peak and surely we have it for
- 1:14:55a long time or just, so you used to comment on the great amount
- 1:15:00of rain and also the tons and tons that are in suspension of pollens in
- 1:15:05the atmosphere. For example, what you have said about diesel bro uncle for
- 1:15:10engines ten is already being warned and, in fact, there are already big
- 1:15:15brands, not only that they are decreasing, but that they are stopping making
- 1:15:21engines ten l That is, it is expected that in order to remember which
- 1:15:26year no longer exists, tenel cars are no longer manufactured, everything is gasoline,
- 1:15:34pure. It' s not like we' re turning our planet into
- 1:15:41some kind of latrine. The polluted seas. Plastics are everywhere, even in
- 1:15:46the pantas of marines, in the atmosphere molecules, well, some are natural
- 1:15:54and have to be there because it is their place, and there is a
- 1:15:58purpose. We are the pollens, but then the men add there a lofadal
- 1:16:03of strange molecules because of fossil fuels and other substances. Some of them are
- 1:16:13perhaps less concentrated and, therefore, perhaps less motivated, but others are not,
- 1:16:19and one of them sees the products that eliminate the combustion of gazo engines.
- 1:16:27S So, this is no longer a problem that is known now.
- 1:16:30We have been in the past for years, and we know whether to get
- 1:16:33into chemistry, the chemical route, because to say that this is a problem
- 1:16:41that has been known for years and that we had to give a solution and
- 1:16:45finally goodbye. Thank you, because it seems that the top ten, ten
- 1:16:48have their days numbered and that this we suppose could improve. It should also
- 1:16:57improve the volume of allergic people and other respiratory problems that we find all year
- 1:17:02round, because not only will combustion generate a harmful contamination that will cause gers,
- 1:17:10but it will generate a contamination that will cause multitude and multitude of respiratory
- 1:17:14pathologies. Because of this contamination, respiratory allergies hope, especially allergies that have
- 1:17:26to do with asthma. This is delicate, because there are cases that can
- 1:17:33become highly sensitive and seriously endanger people' s health. With the asthma issue.
- 1:17:43There are people who suffer to a superlative degree. Yes, and also
- 1:17:48that is to say that there are cases in which they are more serious,
- 1:17:54because there are people who good at coming into contact with an allergen, will
- 1:18:00segregate greater volume of mucus, block, there will be basis of sneezing respiratory
- 1:18:05ditty. But there' s a kind of percentage of patients that are for
- 1:18:14me, the believers and the most at risk. But what they do is
- 1:18:16a bronchial spasm, the bronque, when it comes into contact with the geno,
- 1:18:23contracts that part of hypertrophy muscles contract preventing the passage of air and clear
- 1:18:28that of tremendous consequences. Well, even as you said quite rightly they can
- 1:18:34carry and, by deracially we' ve lived it. They can lead the
- 1:18:36patient to death in case the doctor is not there at that time, it
- 1:18:42takes time to consult, sometimes the family' s little success has to be
- 1:18:49moved. How to react, especially if it occurs in rural areas now early
- 1:18:54in the morning, that is, complications. There' s no emergency service
- 1:18:5824 hours, there' s no hospital nearby. Well, unfortunately we have
- 1:19:02experienced this situation and the patient has become critical. Or it' s for
- 1:19:10terminal. It' s very serious. Very serious. Sure, sure,
- 1:19:13sure, treatments and therapies. In addition to nasal sprays, antistamines and anti
- 1:19:21- allergic injections, there is also the issue of vaccines to assess the possibilities
- 1:19:28of detecting the causative agent. Not true. The issue of vaccines. The
- 1:19:35vaccine you already know that means that the treatment is punctured, an intermuscular sucultary
- 1:19:44whatever, but punctured and this can sometimes reinforce new problems. You have to
- 1:19:50be very careful. Some of us prefer, I unquestionably prefer oral v has
- 1:19:57the great advantage that the organism will take what it needs and what the latrine
- 1:20:01will not discard and we will have far fewer problems, much less complications.
- 1:20:08These laboratories care about and make study, research and market vaccines. And this
- 1:20:16kind of pathway we call vaccines, we call it isotherapy. It would be
- 1:20:23the same thing that causes the disease. We use it as a medicine,
- 1:20:27because there are very prestigious laboratories and that their products really work wonderfully well.
- 1:20:33Even some very frequent allergies already have classified small bottles, type vejiguita of plastic,
- 1:20:42because, with the monodoses of this vaccine from sotherapy to decensitize the patient.
- 1:20:48The problem we also live in is that, as we are immersed in
- 1:20:54this valley of pollution, because sometimes the patient heals an allergy and develops a
- 1:21:00new one. This I can see with relative frequency. When a patient has
- 1:21:05given in a treatment, it has been positive, beneficial, the patient has
- 1:21:11improved dramatically, it has even healed and after x years it reappears with alertness,
- 1:21:15because already one suspects and many times when we repeat the tests of allergy,
- 1:21:21we discover, therefore, a new cause. And the truth is that
- 1:21:26this is quite, quite common with pollens, with food, it' s
- 1:21:31quite complex. It' s a very exciting subject, but it' s
- 1:21:35quite complex. Yes, it has a very particular complexity. The other rock
- 1:21:41before we say goodbye. There' s an allergy. There' s an
- 1:21:45allergy, an answer to this big question. There' s an allergy.
- 1:21:49In recent times, it wasn' t that much. I' m saying
- 1:21:54not to remember them in the past either. In the past there were things,
- 1:21:58for that is good, that we have improved a lot and that are
- 1:22:02and better that they have disappeared. But there are other things that weren'
- 1:22:04t and there was something in the environment in the past. I' m
- 1:22:08not talking about repression of religion, which there was also a lot of it,
- 1:22:15but there was a sense of respect. Let us call the figure of
- 1:22:24that God who somehow did not know where he was at all right, but
- 1:22:28who had created us. We' ve become allergic. Our society has become
- 1:22:33allergic, authentically allergic, to contact with God, to the search for that
- 1:22:40God that we so much need truth, the truth that you are bringing all
- 1:22:45reason to chastity, to which society has a good part. He seems to
- 1:22:51have an alert. One of them is the word God. Another allergy is
- 1:22:58the word Church, to which one speaks of Church, God, Gospel,
- 1:23:01Evangelical, Christianity, etcetera. Well, we see that there is in some
- 1:23:13of our neighbors, in the people with whom we relate some kind of tartullidos.
- 1:23:17There is an allergy red because, well, what happens is that when
- 1:23:24we analyze and when we speak in depth and there are people who are very
- 1:23:29that, not and good, because they have an attitude to life, to
- 1:23:35the universe. On the other hand, you have others that not others,
- 1:23:40because you will really reason some of them because being at an intermediate point diagnosticism
- 1:23:51of difficulty in accepting, but there are some that do. So, when
- 1:23:56we go to the cause, no, I' ve wondered good, why.
- 1:24:00Why people, traditionally human beings. Since prehistory we know that the human
- 1:24:06being has sought God through religion. Religion, for it has that purpose.
- 1:24:14So when the human being has sought God, especially in Christialism, we know
- 1:24:17that God comes to pass, but in all cultures, all over the world,
- 1:24:24from history, we see that there is this search for the spiritual and
- 1:24:28suddenly it is like that, because you general said it very acesarously, a
- 1:24:33kind of allergy And of course, then one has to realize the ones of
- 1:24:39the one who lives. The sequence is the one we live with. It
- 1:24:43is a society that has in Jewish Christian principles, especially Christians. Now the
- 1:24:49Jewish, it' s there at the root, but we don' t
- 1:24:53see it so much anymore, we don' t perceive it so much anymore,
- 1:24:55but the Christian. And then people often have no problems with God,
- 1:24:59but with Christians. There' s one that brings her in, and there
- 1:25:04' s the secret. Then I always tell people we share. The faith
- 1:25:11is that the Christian must live, live in the city, he must try
- 1:25:14to be of an extraordinarily formal conduct, because that pleases God and, besides
- 1:25:21that, it is light to the world. Look at yesterday, at the
- 1:25:27Bible study, at the Church, with the brothers of Martorel we were commenting
- 1:25:31on the well- known texts of you are the salt of the world.
- 1:25:38And the Lord Jesus does not say you have the salt of the world,
- 1:25:42but you are. And then he says he also speaks of the light and
- 1:25:46also says that he is the light of the world and that we are the
- 1:25:50light of the world. There is there a reflection of its holiness and its
- 1:25:57characteristics. But sometimes we' ve wanted Jew we do it so poorly?
- 1:26:03We do it so poorly that then people do not see in many Christians or
- 1:26:10in many pseudo- Christians what they should see. Then we blame God for
- 1:26:16everything. God is like this since Adam and Eve sinned. You know,
- 1:26:21Adam blamed the woman, the woman of the foot, and the serpent had
- 1:26:27to shut up. He was guilty, but the jeds were guilty. And
- 1:26:32that' s where we all go. Many times we blame God for our
- 1:26:35misfortunes, for our insanity, for the misfortunes for which we are responsible and
- 1:26:41mothered the name of God. People curse God' s name when it goes
- 1:26:46wrong, but they don' t remember God when it' s right.
- 1:26:50It' s a society full of contractions, so I think we can heal
- 1:26:57from that ally. Goodbye is the allergy to Christianity and it is knowing him
- 1:27:04personally. God can be known personally. Moreover, although he is the highest
- 1:27:11character in history, neither kings nor anyone is taller than God, but God
- 1:27:15is in the position of humility, in the stubbornness of Christ and is ready
- 1:27:20to receive us all right now, each of us, and he has the
- 1:27:25answer. He is the answer, because small saves of the equation of this
- 1:27:30world to the person of Christ, the one who remains nothing. This is
- 1:27:33devastation, moral devastation, devastation in every way. And well, he is
- 1:27:43the Creator God, he knows our nature and he has so much compassion for
- 1:27:50us that we still often feel his caress, in the midst of our ignorance,
- 1:27:56in the midst of our evil to do, in the midst of our
- 1:27:59failures, that we all dare already myself, but he and, being there
- 1:28:03to leave like the eternal rock of the centuries that we can trust, because
- 1:28:10he has overcome, we will overcome so it is, dear friend, I
- 1:28:16believe it is a masterful conclusion to take into account that counterpoint of something that
- 1:28:24seems also vital to the health of the soul and to the destiny of the
- 1:28:30human being here and now, because purgatory does not exist. This, yes,
- 1:28:31which is a true invention, is an invention of the Middle Ages,
- 1:28:34nonexistent in the Bible. Don' t say hello to that or out of
- 1:28:39amazement. Well Dr Roca, dear friend, we are satisfied with what you
- 1:28:45have told us to take into account some things yes and, above all to
- 1:28:50go to consult if necessary, welcome. Thank you well, thank you,
- 1:28:56a hug that gramidista so goodbye the train of life you when you find the

- 1:31:47that you will know more if I don' t know, sometimes you have
- 1:31:54to be bumping in order to be able. Thank you and reach a little
- 1:32:00maturity, because there would be no way to know how to twirl what will
- 1:32:15come. The pain in your times can be so cruel but God won'

- 1:37:13Well, ladies and gentlemen, now, in a few moments we are
- 1:37:18already in zoom communication, but also audio for all our listeners of the modulated
- 1:37:25frequency in the different Spanish cities. Think that every week more than a hundred
- 1:37:30major cities in Spain tune in to the train of life. Then I am
- 1:37:36sometimes in a city when I go from here, I imitate it since Thursdays
- 1:37:41leaves our hangar the train of life in march and on Friday Saturday I sometimes
- 1:37:45travel to different Spanish cities and go around, I go with some friend or
- 1:37:50some pastor who is taking me here and listen to the program. I tell
- 1:37:58you well, I' m glad that you can hear it and I hope
- 1:38:02that the interviews are helpful and that they help, that they are. The
- 1:38:06purpose is for them to be a social help service as well as the one
- 1:38:13we have talked about. Well then, ladies and gentlemen, we already have
- 1:38:17our friend Alfonso closet there that we are going to go in with him to
- 1:38:25talk about the topic of the apostolic fathers, the first leaders of the church
- 1:38:29beyond the apostles who died. The last living apostle was John, who died
- 1:38:32about ninety- eight, apparently for dating. He died in Ephesus after having
- 1:38:40also had a captivity on the island of Patmos. And, well, there
- 1:38:46are more things that are very interesting. We' re going to make some
- 1:38:50breaks because, obviously, the subject is immense and I' m going to
- 1:38:57welcome my good friend, the doctor, also historian and writer, Alfonso Ropero
- 1:39:01good morning, Alfonso Hello, Good morning, Well, Alfonso. We could
- 1:39:06talk about a thousand themes, but the theme of parental patristics, what is
- 1:39:13patristic from the most popular point of view to situate our listeners a little bit?
- 1:39:18What is the patristic one that has to do with the origins? After
- 1:39:25the years of Jesus and the apostles in the world, when they all disappear,
- 1:39:29they are the ones who continue the work, the Christian work and how
- 1:39:35this would be defined. Yes, patristic is a name given to an academic
- 1:39:42discipline that has at last the study of the more of the Church. Istristics
- 1:39:46within certain seminaries, for it studies or if it was important, the study
- 1:39:56of the church, understanding as the Father of the Church, the successors of
- 1:40:00the apostles. Once they are dead, the cane, the so- called
- 1:40:04new testament, closes. But Christianity continued. After the new will. Works
- 1:40:10continued to be written, including some very famous ones that almost entered the canon,
- 1:40:16such as the Letters of Clement Romano or the Shepherd of Hermas. That
- 1:40:20' s already part of that part or falls into the category of patristics.
- 1:40:27That and then were the names as well known as Jerome Agustín Gpona, for
- 1:40:33that is the subject given in certain academies at that period, to the study
- 1:40:41not only of the life of his men, but of his works. Yes,
- 1:40:45because of course the ge was, for example, one of the writings,
- 1:40:48Pastor Armas, one of the most popular of the first after the apostolic
- 1:40:53era. True, exactly if it was the immediate writings. Let us say
- 1:41:00that patristics introduces us to what happened in the church after the death of the
- 1:41:08apostles. He certainly didn' t disappear. The church has already been on
- 1:41:13earth for two thousand years and, moreover, interesting I know that in the
- 1:41:17evangelical world, although a fact that is true, the reform was the first
- 1:41:26that already in the sixteenth century, they put patristics as a subject in their
- 1:41:30studies, because sometimes it is thought that patristics is also spoken of as patrology.
- 1:41:35It belongs to a rightful defect which he believes is in the proper right
- 1:41:40of the Catholic Church. But it' s not like that. Protestants,
- 1:41:42Luther as well as Calvin and other authors, including the Spanish evangelicals, such
- 1:41:46as Salamuel Villa, in their books, as well as returning to the sources,
- 1:41:54sought the Bible on the one hand, but also wanted this biblical teaching
- 1:41:58to be confirmed by the ancient authors, the so- called Fathers of the
- 1:42:00Church. So, the Protestants of the sixteenth century, in order to say
- 1:42:09give a certain character of seriousness to what they bring of continuity of rupture.
- 1:42:15They have They were the first to create the professorship of patrology, that is,
- 1:42:19of study of the parents to show that they were rebels who were breaking
- 1:42:26the Church. They simply continued what they believed to be the best of the
- 1:42:30Church in the Bible and in the parents, the parents of the churches.
- 1:42:39The characteristics, as you are saying, of the patristics of the initial Fathers
- 1:42:43of the post- Apostolic Church who pre- empt and defend Christian beliefs before
- 1:42:48the pagan dogs of the time, regard the faith as the only truth and
- 1:42:54knowledge, above all other knowledge and many more things that also have to do
- 1:43:00with the philosophy of the time. True, yes, it has to do
- 1:43:03with philosophy and a fact for us to understand about the Christian faith. We
- 1:43:10have been Christians for many years and we have a great legacy of a great
- 1:43:15heritage. But there is a curious fact that can guide us, and that
- 1:43:19is that the Christian faith began as a translation movement that I mean by this
- 1:43:27and to the same, Lord Jesus Christ, does not follow the Old Testament
- 1:43:30to the letter. He clearly tells the men and women of his day and,
- 1:43:34above all, the doctors and the scribes and the Pharisees. Have you
- 1:43:41heard that it was told to our fathers or elders, but I tell you
- 1:43:45then he says have you heard of the eye for an eye, tooth for
- 1:43:50a tooth? I say amaze the enemy who has your cheek to right and
- 1:43:54puts you on the left or the other way around. Then a rereading is
- 1:43:58done. He after rhinestones the Old Testament in the light of what he considers
- 1:44:03to be the essence of God, who is God love, since they had
- 1:44:08derived that newer doctrine in Jesus Christ, God is love from the beginning.
- 1:44:15But the Pharisees had concentrated on the legislator God and had made a sort of
- 1:44:21system of laws. I think there' s one. They codified six hundred,
- 1:44:27and I do not know how many laws they needed to be fulfilled to
- 1:44:31please God and Jesus Christ, for he understands that this is not the basis
- 1:44:38of the law, and that is why the law is summed up in only
- 1:44:40two laws. In six hundred and sixty- six thousand we go and say
- 1:44:45that we love God and love the next for him. Then to the translation
- 1:44:49that he does And the Church will do the same when he reads the Old
- 1:44:53Testament and St Paul himself already begins with that spiritual way of understanding it.
- 1:45:00Sarah, Abraham' s wife, is the symbol of the free Church and
- 1:45:04to give that she was the slave concubine. It was, for those who
- 1:45:10live under the law mean that they make a spiritual translation of the Old Testament.
- 1:45:15They don' t take it to the letter. They take it in
- 1:45:17the light of the spirit of that letter, in the light of Jesus'
- 1:45:21teaching. And that' s why the apostles. This translation is produced and
- 1:45:30the parents of the church continue the same translation. In fact, we'
- 1:45:34re always translating. We say, we read the Bible and the Bible says
- 1:45:40well, the Bible says according to our preconceptions. We' re always doing
- 1:45:45a translation job. When we read an ancient and modern text, then the
- 1:45:50Father of the Church what they do is complement or complete that process. And
- 1:45:56they make comments to the Old Testament, such as that stila still make Bible
- 1:46:02comments and apply those principles to the Old Testament. Christo told them that Moseser
- 1:46:09bears witness to me and that all scripture is a witness to Christ. Then
- 1:46:14they read the entire Old Testament in the light of Christ. Do not read
- 1:46:17it in the light of the law, do not read it in the light
- 1:46:20of Israel, do not read it in the light of the kingdom, but
- 1:46:26of the kingdom which is manifested in the person of Christ. And they do
- 1:46:29the same with philosophy, as we have commented because George, certainly, the
- 1:46:34Church begins very soon in the Gentile or pagan world, because first, because
- 1:46:41the Jews persecute the early Christians, like all to that fact of the apostles
- 1:46:45were dispersed. Stephen goes to Samaria and becomes Simon the Wizard, then to
- 1:46:50the Antioch and St Paul makes trips all over the world carrying the Gospel.
- 1:46:56But it also happens historically geographically, that the Jews rebel against Rome in the
- 1:47:02sixties and are totally destroyed by General Titus the Roman. And then they reveal
- 1:47:10themselves again in the year one hundred and thirty, and then, already when
- 1:47:13the Jewish state is totally destroyed and the Roman state even forbids the stay of
- 1:47:21the Jews physically in Israel. And it means that the Jewish world was no
- 1:47:28longer the one who questioned the missionaries. Now it' s the pagan world
- 1:47:35they' re missioning to. But of course, the pagan world was followed
- 1:47:40by another book, Not followed by the Old Testament. They were followed by
- 1:47:43their philosophers, by their myth, by their gods. Then they also make
- 1:47:47a translation of that philosophy and speak of the ci just as Paul says that
- 1:47:54the Jew is made to the Jew and Greek to the Greek the parents of
- 1:47:57the church, that period in which Christianity becomes Greek to the Greek and shows
- 1:48:01that true philosophy, which at that time, philosophy was the way of life
- 1:48:06that we still use today in colloquial language. We do not understand philosophy as
- 1:48:12an academic discipline. I have these my philosophies directly my way of being,
- 1:48:16this is my way of life. This was how philosophy was understood in ancient
- 1:48:20times and why the philosophy of the Christian era was the most important and had
- 1:48:25the most to do with the Spanish. Seneca, who was Spanish Cordobés,
- 1:48:30was stoic philosophy, which was a way to behave in life, in the
- 1:48:33face of happiness, but also in the face of misfortune. The death of
- 1:48:36a loved one a return from destiny that leads to ruin. How to deal
- 1:48:43with those situations that can destroy a person psychologically and physically That was called the
- 1:48:48end, I said tor and today we still say this we have to take
- 1:48:54it with philosophies, take it patiently, see it prologue against. So Christianity
- 1:48:57says this is Christianity, because Christianity, in this we all agree. It
- 1:49:01is neither a religion nor a philosophy. It' s a way to be
- 1:49:04a way, it' s a way to follow, as he says Jesucrista
- 1:49:09seizes from me. We are simply apprentices of Jesus Christ in his way of
- 1:49:13life. He didn' t even bring theology. That we have done afterwards
- 1:49:16and is correct, but good is what Saint John showed us above all fourteen
- 1:49:23six. I am the way, the truth and the life. Then Christianity
- 1:49:26translates these simple concepts of Jesus Christ, because he spoke with clarity for even
- 1:49:32the uneducated child, because they translate it into philosophical language and speak of our
- 1:49:38philosophy, because of course this anibujo has a philosophy of trust, that of
- 1:49:44hope, that of faith, that of love, charity, and mutual help,
- 1:49:46for all that I develop. That' s the patristic period that comes
- 1:49:53to our day. Of course, when you talk about a kind of allergy
- 1:49:58to philosophy, which is also not good grecolatine or to which the mixture of
- 1:50:02those terms is pure ignorance. People, perhaps the one who reads and the
- 1:50:08day is there, know what they are talking about and those who do not
- 1:50:12hear it, because they misunderstand it. No. But, well, that
- 1:50:15note is very important, very timely. One of the first parents or followers.
- 1:50:20Polycarp of Smyrna, according to the historical records of Irenaeus and Tertullian,
- 1:50:26Polycarp of Smyrna, was apparently one of the disciples of John the Apostle.
- 1:50:31And, well, there is also mercifully previously Irenaeus of León, Gregory of
- 1:50:36Nisa, John Chrysostom and Well, those are the first, basically between the
- 1:50:43first century I II. Fundamentally we move on to the 3rd century And it
- 1:50:49is still clear here, we already enter into other Eusebius of Caesaria, Tertullian,
- 1:50:57Well, already the Great Augustine of Hippo, who is a man who
- 1:51:01marked school frame too and the conversion of many of these men we know is
- 1:51:06also very dramatic and very much like St Augustine' s call but as holy
- 1:51:12as you and as I, no more and no less. But the truth
- 1:51:15is interesting because these men who exercised a social influence from the Christianization of the
- 1:51:21Empire, an imposing social influence, true, yes, yes, that aside,
- 1:51:30because yes, Augustine is already the one who really good of Augustine is
- 1:51:35born already in a period where the Church is legally recognized. Before St Augustine,
- 1:51:42the Church was considered an illegal religion because it did not worship the Emperor,
- 1:51:48it did not burn incense in honour of Rome. They believed that if
- 1:51:54one lacked respect to the Emperor, he also annoyed the gods and could come.
- 1:51:58The misfortune, which more than one of the most influential was Origen who
- 1:52:02even the mother of one of the emperors at the time that the Church was
- 1:52:06persecuted, sought counsel from him, sought the teaching. Origins, lived in
- 1:52:13Alexandria, which was like the Athens of the time that was in Egypt and
- 1:52:18was there there there were a large number of Christians and also Jews, that
- 1:52:24there is there born the so- called sectoakhinta, the Greek version of the
- 1:52:31old Testament made by Jews, and that the Church then used Christianity precisely because
- 1:52:36of its way of being and living. He was very attracted to the attention
- 1:52:41of the pagans, although they also despised him, because he was a thriving
- 1:52:48movement that grew, aroused envy and suspicion, especially when someone wanted to speak
- 1:52:56ill of someone, because they did not know to investigate reality. And there
- 1:52:59was talk that Christians participated in the Holy Supper by eating the body of Christ
- 1:53:05and drinking its blood and literally taking it and saying that Christians were anthropophages,
- 1:53:11that is, cannibals almost and that a series of stories and legends were created
- 1:53:15and that the clear people despised Christians, except when the people saw if these
- 1:53:21people helped us, because in the church they not only testified. It is
- 1:53:28known that the Church of Rome, where Paul was also the apostle Peter and
- 1:53:33so many great Christians, she alone kept three thousand poor of the city than
- 1:53:39in which no one took care. The Church of Rome. It is known
- 1:53:43that there was a square of the foundlings, that is, the unwanted children,
- 1:53:47the way they had, apart from abortion, the unwanted ones, were
- 1:53:50taken from Java in that square. There was like a kind of tumulus,
- 1:53:56a high place and then the one who wanted to go for those children either
- 1:54:01adopted them or employed them as slaves when they grew up or as gladiators Christians,
- 1:54:09knowing the sad fate of those children exposed there to what might happen to
- 1:54:13them. They were picked up to treat them as what they were or what
- 1:54:16they had to be worthy people, slaves or wrestlers in the circus. All
- 1:54:23that. People saw it as humanity, but it cost time for all time.
- 1:54:26But they had that certain prestige of men who loved the world, but
- 1:54:31at the same time believed it to have been doctrine. It was dangerous and
- 1:54:35tertullian that you mentioned that he is the first Latin theologian, he created what
- 1:54:40Hispanic. He was from North Africa, he was and they spoke Latin as
- 1:54:44being the language from which Spanish comes, Spanish. Then he was a great
- 1:54:47defender of the Christian faith in front of the judges, saying to value things
- 1:54:54as they were and disassemble slanders. Bullies didn' t pay much attention to
- 1:55:00him, though he didn' t die a martyr. He tried, but
- 1:55:02he didn' t. He was a lawyer, but he defended the faith.
- 1:55:05That is why it is a book of apologetics or apology quicir defense,
- 1:55:11defense Christianity. Yes, it was interesting all that Christian struggle to gain a
- 1:55:15worthy place. The one he deserved was not a privilege, just as other
- 1:55:20religions were tolerated. They were to be tolerated and left at once the bull
- 1:55:26that they were cannibals or that they were going against the State, because it
- 1:55:30was believed that, since they did not burn incense in the altars, they
- 1:55:35went against the State and I specifically said tertullian. We prayed for the Emperor,
- 1:55:45our best way of showing the fidelity of emperors we pray to God for
- 1:55:50the good of empire, we pray to God for the peace of the Empire,
- 1:55:56and that hurt them that they were unjustly criticized, because Christianity always St
- 1:56:02Paul says so in the Letter of the Romans, that we honor the authorities
- 1:56:08and those bi- Christianism has always done so. And that' s what
- 1:56:12' s beautiful about this period, the period of the church fathers. It
- 1:56:14is how they try to manifest Christianity, which is peace and love in a
- 1:56:21hostile society. It took time, but they got it. It is also
- 1:56:28interesting to observe and because some magnify ignorance as if this were the vow of
- 1:56:33necessary humility, and it is with Tertullian eusebius of Caesarean section of his ecclesiastical
- 1:56:42history. Well, there' s such an agustín of origin. Well,
- 1:56:47and there the list that adds up and continues even among them there are others
- 1:56:54that are authentic apologists intellectuals, but with a colossal intellectual formation. True,
- 1:57:02they are. In one of the earliest Christian intellectuals, it is Justino,
- 1:57:13Justino, Justino Martís. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course, he
- 1:57:15was a man who had been moving in the philosophical schools of the time,
- 1:57:21the stoic, the ticury and they all read and knew well the aristotelian platoon.
- 1:57:30But he came into contact with an old man, a Christian elder,
- 1:57:33and did not know at that time that he was a Christian. But they
- 1:57:35speak of the soul, they speak of destiny in the afterlife, and what
- 1:57:40that man said to him he saw. He agreed that he became interested in
- 1:57:43the faith, became a Christian, and not only became a Christian, but
- 1:57:46paid with his ruin for his life. From there I could find a way
- 1:57:53to save myself and give orchards to sufer by saying no, but I believe,
- 1:57:59but to that of respect I could have looked for the tricks to save
- 1:58:02the peronol life when they told him to deny the Christian name, which was
- 1:58:08the way the judges had to prove that they were Christians, because a true
- 1:58:12Christian did not deny his lord went to the Church, but they were not
- 1:58:16Christians, because they refused because they were going to attend or because they received
- 1:58:20help. The true Christian when faced with that option of release, deaths for
- 1:58:27they said if the renegade freedom of my Christ prefers death. And that'
- 1:58:31s what Justino did, and then right away he saw a pantheon that in
- 1:58:39the faraway would be the tainting of the holster stain, because Justino had already
- 1:58:42done it. In Rome he founded a school of philosophy, but Christian philosophy,
- 1:58:45what he said before and that at that time philosophy and theology were almost
- 1:58:49united, because it had to do with life, the way of life.
- 1:58:54Well, I' ll pantenum and then it comes in graciously and then seeing
- 1:58:57origins. They were three scholars and at the same time attracted many people who
- 1:59:03in the anguish of the world and who did not see an answer in pagan
- 1:59:10gods, in polytheism, in those gods that sometimes he who has seen in
- 1:59:15that it is seen in film odyssey, for gods who are jealous commit adultery
- 1:59:19among themselves, because the truth was that they were not exemplary. And the
- 1:59:23Christian god, of course, had nothing to do with it and they were
- 1:59:27amazed by that Christian God that they preached but at the same time it is
- 1:59:33known that the same gracious one that still persists his very thick books had a
- 1:59:41tremendous culture of philosophy, of Aristotle' s platoon. Now, why Christians
- 1:59:44in the evangelical world have suspicions or sometimes feel a sort of repulsion or rejection
- 1:59:50of philosophy. Because, of course, as in politics there are good politicians,
- 1:59:58bad politicians and in theology there are fabulous c and there are other Christians
- 2:00:01who are not ashamed to call themselves Christian philosophy. There was what Paul calls
- 2:00:05false lanosis philosophy. Paul calls it falsenoses, and Paul says it was these
- 2:00:12people, the Greeks themselves criticized them. They were people who made philosophies to
- 2:00:17make money, which was to win lawsuits were because philosophy was linked to oratory
- 2:00:23and in trials, because the one who had the best oratory at the best
- 2:00:28gold peak could win or lose the case of his client. And there were
- 2:00:34many philosophers who lived not looking for the truth, but the way to make
- 2:00:39the black or white, said to use words or language to transmute or transform
- 2:00:46the sense of things. And that' s what Christian critiques and it'
- 2:00:53s called philosophy or whatever it is. But the Bible does not condemn true
- 2:00:56philosophy, but that false philosophy that they were traveling people who, let us
- 2:01:04say, lived selling their knowledge, but the true philosopher did not go around
- 2:01:11selling his knowledge. To disguise the lie. They had their schools and people
- 2:01:17chose them because they saw in them serious, honest, responsible people. And
- 2:01:23so Christians also opened schools and received many students because they saw in them that
- 2:01:29seriousness and honesty that Paul says. We can do nothing against the truth,
- 2:01:34but with the truth. The Christian has always gone with the truth of the
- 2:01:39part and philosophy in his popular senses, love of truth, love of wisdom.
- 2:01:45The opposite. That' s right, either I cheat or whatever we
- 2:01:50call it, it' s interesting, it' s really recommendable. That
- 2:01:54is why you have collegiate and directed a series of patristics in clie and you
- 2:01:59have also written some of those works to us. Well, we wanted to
- 2:02:06initiate the evangelical reader in this inheritance, because it is an inheritance the books
- 2:02:13of the church fathers, and we started with the first ones, who are
- 2:02:16called apostolic fathers. The Apostolic Fathers described them this way because they had known
- 2:02:24some apostle, for example, you mentioned him to Polycarp, they had known
- 2:02:29John. Then they belong to the Apostolic, Apostolic, Apostolic period. Friday
- 2:02:36after they are already disciples of these apostles, like this Tullian and as it
- 2:02:42is the Itineus himself, he did not know the apostles. Then we have
- 2:02:46published to the Apostolic Fathers in a volume also the works of mentioned Irenaeus,
- 2:02:53Clement, Alexandria, Origen, Augustine, Tertullian, not all the complete works
- 2:02:59are we could draw out hundred and so many volumes. We got what we
- 2:03:05first called him the best thing we' ve put in because it' s
- 2:03:12the second edition. Thank God it was exhausted, that is, it had
- 2:03:14a good reception and we call essential writings. Their essential writings are many more.
- 2:03:21It doesn' t mean they' re the best. They are the
- 2:03:24most basic or what best introduces us into your thinking. And, well,
- 2:03:31I think there is a species today that observes an interest in knowing these men,
- 2:03:40because of course it is that if not the Church is seen in a
- 2:03:43problem. It seems that the Church begins with us from which, from the
- 2:03:47New Testament to the present Church, there has been a vacuum. And that
- 2:03:53is not possible, of course, because Jesus Christ, in his resurrection said
- 2:03:58I am with you every day until the end of the world and every day
- 2:04:02is century II. And so and so, when he says that the Church
- 2:04:06is founded on the rock, which is Christ, which is to them the
- 2:04:11rock of salvation, says the gates of hell will not prevail against it.
- 2:04:15If we think, as there are many evangelicals who believe, that after the
- 2:04:20death of the last of the apostles, the Church gave as a sort of
- 2:04:26decay and apostasy, then Jesus Christ fails his word. If we believe that
- 2:04:30there has been an apostasy until Luther' s time or even us those thousand
- 2:04:38years, Christ was not present or was where he was, where is his
- 2:04:42word that the gates of hell would not prevail against the rock, for he
- 2:04:46was there in that, he was in Clemente, he was in origin,
- 2:04:50he was in Tertullian and so many foot believers have written nothing, but they
- 2:04:56did something very beautiful. When Rome falls, that is, when the Church
- 2:05:00is already affected by the empire, we have all heard of the barbarians of
- 2:05:03cara, of the Huns, of the eggs, of the same ones in
- 2:05:09Spain that came the Visigoth odolus. Then those people were people used to fighting
- 2:05:14and their ideal was the combat and Christianity that made against them for Christianity amazingly
- 2:05:18domestic. Yes, great lords, they came the first thing they were to
- 2:05:28steal in the churches, because there is the chalice that was used to take
- 2:05:30it, the wine of representing the blood of Christ was usually of clear gold
- 2:05:35that we were valuable and they killed or plundered. And yet, those men
- 2:05:40or women who no longer remember his name, who also died at the hands
- 2:05:44of the invasions in the long run conquered that empire and one of the most
- 2:05:48violent peoples that Europe suffered were the Vikings or what were called the men of
- 2:05:54the North, who were razing came to Spain, well, they arrived to
- 2:05:59Seville, when the Guadalquivir Guadalquivir is navigable and in small boat and there was
- 2:06:06the Church managed to convert these men, whose gods of Odin, the tor
- 2:06:12that make films of this today the round with his hammer that kills a thousand
- 2:06:16characters of a blow the Church or those people of that time. I'
- 2:06:21m talking about the year eight hundred nine hundred managed to tame these peoples,
- 2:06:28which was not easy to us in the twentieth century And until we leave our
- 2:06:31habits, even if we become Christians, we still maintain that St Paul calls
- 2:06:38the old man, for they fought a very strong old man, because he
- 2:06:45was a very accustomed man to war. And Christianity is peace. Christianity is
- 2:06:46concord, because all this was achieved by the Church. Not we have been
- 2:06:51getting him churches century after century. I have said those examples, which are
- 2:06:56the most dramatic, but it happened throughout history. The human being has always
- 2:07:01been violent to the idea is today we have a war here on our pigs
- 2:07:05and threaten us even with atomic bombs. At that time they were also always
- 2:07:12warring and zero before reminds us of the books of cavalry. The cavalry books
- 2:07:15were novels, but they were Christian novels. Sometimes we didn' t think
- 2:07:19of that, because it was dealing with those soldiers who did what we saw
- 2:07:26on television there in Ukraine and other countries, looting, torturing and raping.
- 2:07:32And the ideal knight for Don Quixote, that the defense of women, the
- 2:07:39defense of the Maiden and the keeping of her word, the not stealing the
- 2:07:44contentment of his good deeds, was a way of civilizing those who lived as
- 2:07:50mercenaries. And that was also a church product. Then, it is very
- 2:07:56nice to think if we follow the word of God we are Christian, but
- 2:08:01we have a past and a few brothers, as the Letter to the Hebrews
- 2:08:07says, for a cloud of witnesses we can feel very proud of, because
- 2:08:13they performed great miracles throughout history, a miracle of conversions. Yes, magnificent
- 2:08:18explanation Alfonso to put us in perspective, because I remember, perhaps in a
- 2:08:24personal anecdote, when I became, I could read bad at little, because
- 2:08:30it was very sick and I went very little to school from eight to twelve
- 2:08:33years old, and I began to read the new will and I remember them
- 2:08:37and read it, I slowly read it the back had black. And then
- 2:08:45I loved myself already when I joined the military at the age of sixteen,
- 2:08:50at the age of twenty. I wanted to join the culture late. Okay.
- 2:08:56I made a whole process possible until I was twenty- five years old
- 2:09:01at the University, which was already a sprint. But I began to read
- 2:09:07from everything I read, everything to the Ley, Mars, Lenina, Trowskia,
- 2:09:13mause Toon, the authors, Saltrea, all those of the time Kamus,
- 2:09:18all of Kiski, obviously, Nix, etcetera, etcetera. But I
- 2:09:24began to read the history of Christianity and my faith strengthened the first history of
- 2:09:30Christianity. Then I read others. When I read that, I was already
- 2:09:35a fervent believer. I thank God, but I was greatly strengthened by knowing
- 2:09:39the history of Christianity. He reaffirmed to me to see continuity, as you
- 2:09:45have said, from the first century, second, third, fourth, until
- 2:09:50the first millennium, then until the Protestant reformation and everything and to see the
- 2:09:54variables that have existed in history. I was strengthened and reaffirmed and I said
- 2:09:56this church the gates of hell have not prevailed against the church in 2,
- 2:10:05000 years. And then you have to know how to interpret the story.
- 2:10:09So it' s true. I highly recommend reading to the church parents.
- 2:10:13Plus a lot of your thinking. It illustrates us, enriches us time practices
- 2:10:20that are some were of faith principles so primary, but so genuine that you
- 2:10:26say. Sometimes it is necessary to return some of these things to be more
- 2:10:33genuine, more direct, not mediated by so many liturgies and that we Protestants
- 2:10:37have also acquired them. Anyway, but the truth is, it' s
- 2:10:43very interesting. That' s why the reference to Clie' s books is
- 2:10:46very interesting. And we come to the subject of heresies. Well, from
- 2:10:50scripturalism, docentism, agnosticism, Montanism and both adoptionism and archaeism. Well,
- 2:11:01there are all Nicolaism, Martianism, Modalism, Manichaeism or Donatism, etcetera.
- 2:11:07Arianism, especially Arianism, very interesting, because Spain was arian for a time
- 2:11:13with the Visigoths in power, who succumbed to Christian culture, because they became.
- 2:11:20That' s what you were saying, apolinarism, nestorianism, pelagianism,
- 2:11:26the subject that is also very interesting in monophysicism, etcetera, monothelism, etcetera,
- 2:11:33etcetera. So there is to give and give, but above all arianism.
- 2:11:39Yes, that was a controversy that was very much in battle for a
- 2:11:43long time. True, it was a hard battle in many years, because
- 2:11:50Christianity proclaims itself as a monotheistic faith, a single God, but at the
- 2:11:58same time that this God is a father, a son and a holy spirit,
- 2:12:03how that is clarified. The Arians denied the trinity, the Orthodox for
- 2:12:09calling it that or the great Church. Most believed without knowing is the explanation
- 2:12:15that there is only one God who is the father, but that Jesus Christ
- 2:12:20was not only a superior man chosen by the Father, distinguished with a second
- 2:12:26God. He was God himself and then the Holy Spirit also admitted. They
- 2:12:31recognized him as a personality. It was not an influence, it was a
- 2:12:35living being that made the Church gain strength, etcetera. And in those years
- 2:12:41that they lacked terminology to get to explain in a way, let' s
- 2:12:48say logically the possibility of there being a god and at the same time three
- 2:12:54people and not for that being a tritheism three gods that still continues to to
- 2:12:58tory. Even in the evangelical world there are churches called Jesus alone, that
- 2:13:05is, they do not believe that in the Trinity or sects such as Jehovah
- 2:13:09’ s Witnesses or other groups that deny trinity because they do not fit in
- 2:13:13their heads. Well, the Church had to deal with these heresies, not
- 2:13:18only the Rianas, but many similar ones, because the subject was difficult and
- 2:13:26coming to a description I think simple, but very beautiful, and but they
- 2:13:31had to resort to a language that does not appear clear in the Bible.
- 2:13:35The Bible mentions the father, son, and holy spirit, but without giving
- 2:13:39it terms, Christianity had to resort to Greek terms as substance, essence,
- 2:13:46hypostasis, and a person who is one God, but three different persons.
- 2:13:52Substance or hypostasis is the same in all three, but there is a distinction,
- 2:13:58what is called a dynamic monotheism, that God is communion relations, the
- 2:14:05father in general, son, from eternity beginning the son to be has always
- 2:14:09been the son and the holy spirit is also sent by both. Then you
- 2:14:16have to develop these ideas of hypostasis, of what you call the same essence
- 2:14:22homosis. And it wasn' t easy. It wasn' t easy.
- 2:14:26Many councils were needed. Today we assume trinity almost by faith rarely a foot
- 2:14:33believer in our church. Even pastors can give very correct definitions, because it
- 2:14:39is complicated, as I did not study it myself in my pastor, in
- 2:14:43whom I was baptized precisely at the age that you became equal to seventeen,
- 2:14:48I became converted and at eighteen I was baptized because I had doubts whether to
- 2:14:52be baptized into an adult or not. But whatever it was, that man
- 2:14:56explained to me. Today I understand it in its trinity ways in a heretical
- 2:15:01way, they were as in what is called fashionism. God, father.
- 2:15:05It is the God who creates the world, but the God who goes well
- 2:15:09to redeem us then becomes a son, becomes flesh and redeems us, that
- 2:15:13is, takes the form of the son And as the now risen son lives
- 2:15:18within us, the same God lives as a spirit in three ways, in
- 2:15:24three ways. That' s wrong. For him he convinced him because he
- 2:15:28could not otherwise understand how to respect the oneness of one God. But that
- 2:15:31' s not the real way. We' re not going to clear it
- 2:15:35up today. But the idea is this so basic essence, one God in
- 2:15:39three different people and that people are not manifestations, they are ways of being,
- 2:15:46that shows us in front of that Judaism in an isolated God it costs
- 2:15:54us that it does not show that God is community, that that involvement is
- 2:15:58very important for human life, that we are God relationship. It is also
- 2:16:03a relationship or in front of the Muslim, where it is also what is
- 2:16:09called a strict monotheism, Christianity is a dynamic monotheism. Strict monotheism is one
- 2:16:15that knows only one will and there is no dynamism in it. In the
- 2:16:20Christian case, we believe that our God is a god where there is inner
- 2:16:26communion, and that makes many things clear to us. God did not need
- 2:16:31man to know what love is, because he loved one another in that personal
- 2:16:35variety, which is in him that are mysteries that do not surpass his way
- 2:16:39of understanding. This God creates us by pure grace, because he wants to
- 2:16:45love us, because he wants to love him, not because he needs our
- 2:16:50love, not because he needs our praise, because he, like Jesus on
- 2:16:56earth, says he is pleased with the father and in the glory of the
- 2:16:58father he always had. God has always lived in a glory, communion,
- 2:17:03communication, eternal love among himself. It is the way that theology has to
- 2:17:11explain that Christian God, which has nothing to do with these extreme or strict
- 2:17:16monotheisms, Judaism or Islamism. Although Judaism was already opening up and speaking in
- 2:17:28the book of proverbs of Wisdom, through which God created the world. And
- 2:17:33so the Gospel of John says that Christ is wisdom, that is, the
- 2:17:37wolf, is the verb by which everything has been created. He was with
- 2:17:41God and he was God. In other words, there has been a process
- 2:17:46of Christian doctrine. It did not fall from heaven, it was a reflection
- 2:17:52or, as I mentioned earlier, it is a process of translation of the
- 2:17:56experience of Christ. They experienced Christ not only with a healer, not just
- 2:18:00as a messiah. He was the one who did it. Prophecies, not
- 2:18:03just as a kind of privileged. God experienced it as something that exceeded them.
- 2:18:11And so they gave him the title of the lord, the title given
- 2:18:13to Jave in the LORD, in the old Testament, because they believed that
- 2:18:18he was in Christ, as he will then say in the Pauline letters and
- 2:18:24in him dwells the fullness of deity. They couldn' t explain it any
- 2:18:28other way. He wasn' t a man, he was God himself.
- 2:18:31And that, of course. It must be translated into a language that sheds
- 2:18:37light on the apparent contradictions in which language can resort to explain, to explain
- 2:18:45the mystery of God. What an interesting explanation, ladies and gentlemen, and
- 2:18:50in such a didactic way for all our listeners in the voice of Alfonso Ropero
- 2:18:58and I tell you, obviously, look at the Bible. The new testament
- 2:19:01implicitly manifests the deity of Christ and also explicitly, but very implicitly, conclusively,
- 2:19:07as John' s theological preamble in his first verses. In the beginning
- 2:19:16it was the verb he was and he was condid. The verb was God.
- 2:19:20And then also, as Jo' s witnesses have sometimes said, it
- 2:19:22was a God no, because the indeterminate article does not exist, that is,
- 2:19:26it was a forgery of but many more interesting things. And then he,
- 2:19:31that fashionism, has also wanted to fight the otri the ternity and so
- 2:19:35many others. But it is true, and there I do see a point,
- 2:19:39it is God' s revelation to the believer the believer and we dare
- 2:19:45to say it is an authentic revelation, to understand the incomprehensible by the grace
- 2:19:50of God, that God is community, father, son and espe three distinct
- 2:19:54persons and one true God, as he says, the apostolic creed is a
- 2:19:58definition more or less, as approximate as possible. Right. That' s
- 2:20:03right and here we have and I want to recommend you look at this and
- 2:20:07I have here before me all the books that Alfonso wardrobe has collegiate are published
- 2:20:16in clie and directly his own hand, the whole collection of apostolic fathers,
- 2:20:20which is sensational. I recommend it entirely from both Justin Martyr and so many
- 2:20:26others who appear and the general the first. And then, obviously, there
- 2:20:31are also not only books as an introduction to philosophy, philosophy and Christianity.
- 2:20:37Speaking of this the apostolic fathers, also stories of monothematics, of origins Augustine
- 2:20:43Lipona, Tertullian, John Chrysostom and so many others. Justin Martyr, who
- 2:20:50we have talked about, but also martyrs and persecutors is another fantastic book and
- 2:20:56one of the last is history of philosophy and theology connivance that has historically existed.
- 2:21:05Don' t miss it. You can take one or two of them
- 2:21:11as much as you can and have them in your private library. I don
- 2:21:16' t know if you want to make any notes. Alfonso about it.
- 2:21:18It' s not right. Good. Yes, well, Alfonso, he
- 2:21:22always likes to talk a lot about himself, but I do because the truth
- 2:21:26that has illustrated us and blessed us a lot with his writings, because listen
- 2:21:30we left him here because we would follow him. But radio time also has
- 2:21:37a limit and so does yours. I thank you very much, Alfonso,
- 2:21:41for your appearance on the train of life again and we will speak again any
- 2:21:46time you have a good time. Thank you, but before you ended up
- 2:21:52half lost, not talking about it, but about this booklet, which is
- 2:21:56a little booklet that ormes what were born in the fifties, as I count,
- 2:22:00and six It has to remember was the catechism that, necessarily in school
- 2:22:05from the age of six we had to know by heart. I was little,
- 2:22:09but it' s literally I have it because I' m a collector.
- 2:22:13Yeah, yeah, yeah, but we were small and clear it cost
- 2:22:18us a lot and besides, it' s nice. There I see it
- 2:22:20and at that time I didn' t realize it, but there is Jesus
- 2:22:24Christ and underneath children of all colors, there are all blacks here in this
- 2:22:28part are two black whites, a cobrizo. It will be beautiful the Christ
- 2:22:31who had something to teach to all children. And I mention it more than
- 2:22:35anything, because it has been since the sixties, as already of children we
- 2:22:39were taught the apostolic creed. We' ve been talking about the church parents
- 2:22:43and under it today I understand. At that time I recited it because if
- 2:22:48not the Master punished me, because I did not explain, it had to
- 2:22:50be memorized. Yes, yes, I create an almighty father uncle, creator
- 2:22:54of the earth' s heaven. We believe Jesus Christ, that only son,
- 2:22:58our lord and then follow the scripture, I believe in the Holy Spirit
- 2:23:01and so on. But of course, this creed is very simple. It
- 2:23:03was for the children, but we all remember and have ever been to the
- 2:23:07Catholic Church that they also recite after this so simple so that we realize the
- 2:23:13evolution, the idea, the trinity, the so- called constantinopolitan Nicene creed,
- 2:23:18that is, the creed of Nicaea. If you notice one important thing,
- 2:23:24if you see here more or less, in this column, it is
- 2:23:28the apostolic creed, let us say the primitive creed and in this column,
- 2:23:33which is much broader, it is the creed of Nicaea. And there you
- 2:23:37can see that they have already passed between one and another almost three hundred years.
- 2:23:41The first says I believe in God the Father the second to clear,
- 2:23:45I believe in one God, because there and some accused Christianity that believed among
- 2:23:48the gods they are clear, they believe one God father, almighty, creator
- 2:23:54of heaven and earth of all things visible and invisible is worth that we have
- 2:23:58no doubt. The first creed said because these were cretes, which were recited
- 2:24:03to those who were to be baptized. This you baptize in this faith and
- 2:24:07they had to recite from memory. That' s why atheism taught him by
- 2:24:11heart. It is secret, as if he was a Christian who admitted that,
- 2:24:15but they could only explain it to God the Father, for that is
- 2:24:16it. Then they make it clear that this God is a God only says
- 2:24:22so I believe in Jesus Christ nothing more. But then he adds the creed.
- 2:24:24Here is a long sentence, but the way to read, because Julius
- 2:24:28also knows it from memory, I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, only
- 2:24:33son of God, born of the Father before all the centuries, God,
- 2:24:39of God light of light, true God, true begotten, not created of
- 2:24:45the same nature of the Father by whom all was made that by us,
- 2:24:50men, and by our salvation under heaven that left here are already all theology
- 2:24:56and the same in the Holy Spirit, says, I believe in the Holy
- 2:25:00Spirit And there they ended already here, does not say. I believe in
- 2:25:03the Holy Spirit, Lord and giver of life that comes from the father and
- 2:25:09son, that with the father and son receives the same worship and glory and
- 2:25:13that spoke by the prophets here And it is very nice to keep in mind
- 2:25:18how the logs is a development, it is a process and that sometimes I
- 2:25:22myself as young. This I recited because until I was seventeen years old I
- 2:25:26became, for until I was fourteen years old, but until I was fourteen
- 2:25:30I went to church because I liked the Catholic Church. And this we had
- 2:25:33to recite every Sunday and they' re still in the subconscious. But it
- 2:25:37’ s nice to see that process that you can’ t think about,
- 2:25:41as already reading the Bible they have plenty for your spiritual life. But to
- 2:25:45understand faith in depth we have to study a little bit, not advance on
- 2:25:50the subject of theology with people who are able, so that we take advantage
- 2:25:54of all the wealth and do not fall into heresies or that flutists who are
- 2:26:01saying look. I have here a truth that you don' t know because
- 2:26:03your Church has deceived you and I don' t know in groups and estates
- 2:26:07what there are. No, then good that we see how the Church has
- 2:26:11always had, in every age, has been specifying the terms to the principles
- 2:26:16worth with the cred that of children. But now, as Paul says,
- 2:26:20there are moments to drink milk, but there is another time, as a
- 2:26:24Christian, that we must already eat solid life. He came to all who
- 2:26:28I am not gain as Christians, who are already solid people, who are
- 2:26:33well fed so that he will do better in life, in everything, in
- 2:26:35all his relationships, not only in the mind, but in his way of
- 2:26:37treating those around him. That' s how it is, my friend.
- 2:26:43Thank you for this point. In addition, a review an example very very
- 2:26:48very very graphic, because, for example, in the Creed Niceno is thinking
- 2:26:52I good that Athanasius in the fourth century, just already does that he had
- 2:26:58tried several times, but unsuccessfully. But finally Tarasius' s thesis is imposed
- 2:27:05on claiming the divinity of Jesus Christ. And well, because widespread Christianity had
- 2:27:11adopted this heresy, it was not that it minimized the person of Jesus Christ.
- 2:27:18So the thing is, it' s interesting, it' s very
- 2:27:22interesting. And then see about the creeds, me or the catechism. Yes,
- 2:27:26the truth is that there were things that were interesting and now contrasting them
- 2:27:31strikes us very much. But well, thank God we have all those writings
- 2:27:35that help us, because nothing once again, Alfonso, dear friend, infinite
- 2:27:41graces and until the next I send you a hug. Thank you, goodbye
- 2:27:46Alfonso Wow. Well, ladies and gentlemen, we' re in a hurry.
- 2:27:58But how good to fight Alfonso wardrobe historian and writer, prolific, besides,
- 2:28:05very good writer and then doctor also in theology and history. And the
- 2:28:15truth is that it places us, gives us those glimpses of history, because
- 2:28:20nothing more and nothing less. We have reached the final conclusion. I remind
- 2:28:26you that e- mail from the train of life. If you want to
- 2:28:31write to me to suggest that I talk about anything, it' s Julio
- 2:28:37Pérez Arroba the train of life. Period. It' s Julio Pérez Arroba,
- 2:28:41the train of life, point that' s where you can write me
- 2:28:48directly and I' ll go forward. We are already practically the week of
- 2:28:52the beginning of April, April, May June and the 10th of June the
- 2:28:58National Call for Prayer of all the evangelical churches of the country, of the
- 2:29:05State in its seventeen autonomies, is called. We are called to pray for
- 2:29:13our country, for Spain. We pray for this country. We pray that
- 2:29:16God will bless this country. There are some specific proposals and for God to
- 2:29:24bless our cities, bless local governments by helping them with wisdom, grace,
- 2:29:30there are still open doors and freedom to proclaim Jesus' message and also that
- 2:29:35our rulers be practical equity, in democratic equity and also in justice and remember
- 2:29:43Saturday, June 10, in different cities. The calls are for marches,
- 2:29:52points, and prayer meetings, for there we will be God through the direction
- 2:29:58also of his national coordinator, Samuel Vázquez, and we will all be aware.
- 2:30:05For today, nothing more and nothing less has spoken to them a good
- 2:30:07friend, Julio Pérez. Until the next Chao. Evangelical churches are a place
- 2:30:30of peace and friendship. You can freely attend the nearest evangelical church in your
- 2:30:37neighborhood or your population. You' ll be very welcome.
