- 0:30thought capsules that entertain, teach and lift the soul. Good morning, Third
- 0:40Sunday of Easter and we read the Gospel of St Luke. At that time,
- 0:46Jesus’ disciples told of what had happened to them along the way and
- 0:50how they had recognized him by breaking the bread. They were talking about these
- 0:56things when he stood in their midst and told you but they, terrified and
- 1:02full of fear, believed to see a spirit and he told them why you
- 1:07are alarmed, because doubts arise in your heart. Look at my hands and
- 1:11feet. It is I in person feel and realize that a spirit has no
- 1:18flesh and bones. As you see that I have said this, he showed
- 1:23them his hands and feet and as they had not just believed for joy and
- 1:27were still amazed he told them you have something to eat there and offered him
- 1:33a piece of roasted fish. He took it and ate before them and told
- 1:37them this is what I told you while I was with you that all that
- 1:42was written in the law of Moses and in the prophets must be fulfilled and
- 1:47we will sing about me. Then he opened their understanding to understand the scriptures
- 1:53and said to them thus it was written in messiah he will suffer to rise
- 2:00from the dead. On the third day and in his name will be proclaimed
- 2:04conversion for the forgiveness of sins to all peoples, beginning with Jerusalem. You
- 2:08are witnesses of this, let us briefly recall the chronology of the apparitions of
- 2:15the risen Jesus. According to the information provided by the Gospels. Jesus appears
- 2:21first to Mary Magdalene, by the tomb on Sunday, very early in the
- 2:25morning and tells her to go to the cenacle and tell my disciples to go
- 2:30to Galilee that they will see me there. Maria does what she says.
- 2:35Jesus goes to the Upper Room, but the apostles do not believe it.
- 2:39On the evening of the same Sunday Jesus appeared to the two disciples who returned
- 2:46sad to Emmaus and they returned to Jerusalem to tell them what they had seen
- 2:52Jesus. But the apostles also do not believe in this second announcement of the
- 2:58risen Jesus. So Jesus, a little later that Sunday, broke into the
- 3:02cenacle, where the apostles were scared to death, with the doors closed.
- 3:07They had for their lives, so they were concerned. Your teacher was dead
- 3:14and here' s a first thought. Jesus is the one who breaks into
- 3:20the room. The apostles were not calling on him, they were not looking
- 3:24for him, they had not believed Mary Magdalene or the two disciples of Maus.
- 3:30His fear, his sadness, his human fragility, was too great,
- 3:34but Jesus broke into the room. Jesus takes the initiative despite the resistance of
- 3:39the apostles. It is Jesus who puts himself in their midst, and here
- 3:45we see clearly a Christian principle of spiritual life, the primacy of grace.
- 3:52It is God who makes the first move, who takes the first step.
- 3:58It is difficult to imagine the face of the apostles at that time. Jesus
- 4:01eats with them. Therefore, it was not a ghost, that is,
- 4:06a spirit that in a certain way acquires a visible form. Jesus sits with
- 4:12them, touches them, eats what a roast fish had. The presence of
- 4:16Jesus was not a collective delusion, for they were not invoking him even at
- 4:21a time of meditation. It wasn' t a dream, because everyone saw
- 4:27the same thing. It wasn' t their mind that played a bad game
- 4:30by making them think they were imagining something but it wasn' t real.
- 4:33As if his desire to see Jesus alive were so strong, they believed that
- 4:38Jesus was in their midst. The apostles were not eager to see Jesus.
- 4:43More at first, they doubt that it will be so. They didn'
- 4:47t believe what their eyes were seeing. Jesus shows them his body. He
- 4:53has overcome death. In Buddhism, death is the moment when we abandon the
- 4:58illusion of the layman and go back to nothing, because personal individuality is an
- 5:03illusion and it doesn' t really matter. In Christianity, however, we
- 5:11reconciled with death by approaching her face to face to tell her I, I
- 5:16won fully. I have won death, I have overcome death I do not
- 5:25dissolve in nothing, but my self attains its fullness. A second reflection is
- 5:31based on the fact that Jesus shows his apostles the wounds, shows them the
- 5:36obvious signs of the price of redemption, the priest and philosopher of the twentieth
- 5:44century. Romano Guardini wrote The Lord has changed. He doesn' t live
- 5:48like he used to. Their existence is not understandable. However, it is
- 5:51corborean. It includes everything he lived, the fate he went through, his
- 5:58passion and his death. All reality, even if it has changed, remains
- 6:02a tangible reality. It is the Jesus who has suffered, who has overcome
- 6:08and whose scars are marked on his glorious body. Passion is over, but
- 6:14the glorious and victorious effects of passion continue To some extent, something similar happens
- 6:20to us and suffering, suffering happens, but suffering remains. It leaves some
- 6:30traces, some teachings and some learnings that we incorporate into our life, into
- 6:35our person, and we carry them in the day- to- day.
- 6:40We all suffer. It is said that the Greek philosopher Democritus, who lived
- 6:46in the five and four centuries before Christ, was unable to comfort King Darius
- 6:50of Persia, who wept for the death of his wife. He promised him
- 6:56then, democritus, that he would bring his wife back to life, but
- 7:00with a condition that he would give mighty king throughout Asia, he would indicate
- 7:06three names to register them in the tomb of the deceased. However, it
- 7:10should be three names of three people who had lived without ever experiencing the pain.
- 7:16Once those names had been inscribed on the tomb of the democrite queen,
- 7:20he was committed to making her life. Obviously, that Darius' quest was
- 7:27vain and the reaction of democritus was reproche Why you cry without stopping as if
- 7:31you were the only One who has touched such misfortune, You, who could
- 7:35not find among all past generations even a man who had lived without experiencing his
- 7:41part of pain. We all suffer. Jesus was also not exempt from pain
- 7:48and suffering, but he overcame it. And a third idea says the Gospel
- 7:55that Jesus blew and opened the minds of the apostles to understand the scriptures.
- 8:01Here we see in action, a gift of the holy spirit, the gift
- 8:05of understanding. Through the action of Jesus' breath, the apostles grasp by
- 8:11intuition, effortlessly, without a rational procedure, the profound meaning of the scriptures,
- 8:16without discourses, without studies or any human help. The holy spirit suddenly
- 8:24reveals to them the profound meaning of some sentences of scripture that plunge them into
- 8:30an abyss of light. That is the gift of the holy spirit, of
- 8:35understanding. Our experience is that, reflecting, weeping our understanding goes into the
- 8:43depths of the mystery of God and the more our intellect discovers, the more
- 8:50mysterious the divine truth becomes. The more light it receives, the more the
- 8:54immensity of the mystery that remains to be known the more you know God.
- 8:58S s s s NS. You realize what you still need to discover God
- 9:01' s spirit of love. The Holy Spirit responds to this loving quest of
- 9:09the believer that brings a diverse penetration, a seeing a grasp, an intuition,
- 9:16an insigde, a knowledge that gives the mind an immediate knowledge, serene
- 9:20as a photo of the supernatural truth, without ceasing to be a mystery.
- 9:26It is like suddenly grasping the essential, the core of a spiritual reality.
- 9:31That is the gift of understanding and that is available to all of us.
- 9:37Now, as Saint Theresa says, Christian perfection does not consist in understanding things
- 9:43very well, because they remain in the myth of intelligence. Says Saint Theresa,
- 9:50no less price the deep thoughts that feed the soul and unite it to
- 9:54God. But long ago I have understood that the soul should not lean on
- 9:58him or make it consist of perfection in receiving many enlightenments. The most beautiful
- 10:05thoughts are nothing without the works Jesus. By blowing upon the apostles and enlightening
- 10:13their minds. I was preparing them for great works, but we had to
- 10:18wait for Pentecost for God to bless you with the best selection of freshly harvested,
- 10:28precooked and ultra- frozen vegetables. They are natural nutritious and easy to
- 10:33prepare. Frozen to isman food you can find in all supermarkets, in the frozen section
