  Frozen foods to isband the best selection of pre- cooked and ultra- frozen
• 0:11
  foods, vegetable potatoes, smuries and much more supernatural, nutritious and easy to
• 0:17
  prepare, find them in all supermarkets in the frozen section. Welcome to this
• 0:24
  space of vitamin or prayer, together with Francisco Hermengold a few brief spiritual Bible
• 0:30
  thought capsules that entertain, teach and lift the soul. Good morning, 14th
• 0:41
  Sunday of Ordinary Time and we read the Gospel of Mark, chapter Six Jesus
• 0:49
  went to his city, to Nazareth, and his disciples followed him. When
• 0:54
  the Sabbath arrived, he began to teach in the synagogue the crowd that heard
• 1:00
  him. She wondered astounded where she got all that, what wisdom is that
• 1:06
  given to her and those miracles that perform her hands is not this. The
• 1:11
  carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joseph and Judas
• 1:15
  and Simon and his sisters do not live with us here and were shocked on
• 1:22
  account of him. He told them that they despise a prophet only in their
• 1:26
  land, among their relatives, and in their house. He couldn' t
• 1:32
  do any miracles there. He only healed some sick men by placing his hands
• 1:38
  on them and admired their lack of faith and walked around the villages. Teaching
• 1:44
  last Sunday with Jairus and the hemorrhoise, we saw how those two people conscious
• 1:51
  of Jesus' power, did not want to miss the opportunity to approach him
• 1:56
  and ask him for help. It was a unique occasion. Today, with
• 2:00
  the inhabitants of Nazareth we see just the opposite. A few people with disabilities
• 2:07
  who value Jesus miss a unique opportunity for him to act with his power.
• 2:14
  There is a common human experience. When we know a place a lot or
• 2:19
  have visited it many times, you may already lose the charm you had the
• 2:24
  first time. I remember one occasion in the Holy Land that I was with
• 2:30
  a group of people praying in the Basilica of the Holy One. Grave right
• 2:35
  inside Jesus' grave. For them it was the first time they went in
• 2:39
  there and were overwhelmed. Then came an Orthodox monk who with not very good
• 2:46
  manners, warned us to leave the place already to leave space for other pilgrims
• 2:53
  without pretending to judge the inner experience of that monk. I can say that
• 2:59
  two were dying for the saint, grave like a pedro for his house and
• 3:02
  he looked zero excited being inside such a holy place. How it is possible
• 3:09
  that, being in Jesus’ tomb every day, such a sacred place,
• 3:14
  he was not excited. Perhaps it was precisely for that reason, because he
• 3:21
  was every day and had already become accustomed to something wonderful, for something similar
• 3:27
  happens to the Nazarenes with Jesus. Nazareth was a village of about 500 people,
• 3:32
  a place small enough for everyone to know and Jesus had been there thirty
• 3:38
  years. In today' s Gospel, the Nazarenes deny Jesus, since they
• 3:45
  have known him since he was a child and even though the miracles performed by
• 3:50
  Jesus in other parts of Galilee precede him. These men close themselves in advance
• 3:55
  to any saving action of the Lord and miss a unique opportunity. They have
• 4:02
  labeled Jesus as the son of Mary and there is no one to take them
• 4:06
  out of that conception. They have a good attitude, and this one who
• 4:11
  thinks he is, I know him, he' s no one special.
• 4:15
  He' s the mason' s son and he' ll always be and
• 4:18
  that' s all a mason. They do not conceive that God can do
• 4:23
  something so extraordinary through someone who in their eyes is so ordinary and so well
• 4:29
  known. This happens to us with faith and happens to us also with many
• 4:33
  other realities of our life. Perhaps I have become accustomed to my family,
• 4:40
  to my loved ones and am no longer able to see and appreciate their value.
• 4:45
  Maybe I' ve gotten used to health and I don' t see
• 4:48
  that it' s a gift received anymore. Perhaps I have become accustomed to
• 4:53
  the fact that I am not lacking anything economically, I am no longer able
• 4:57
  to recognize the value of things or the value of people. Perhaps I am
• 5:01
  used to others serving me and I no longer value the time they spend on
• 5:05
  me. The Nazarenes would expect something special, something new, unpublished, not
• 5:14
  the jesus they already knew. It is a spiritual attitude present in our day.
• 5:19
  To consider the Gospel as an old book that has nothing to offer me,
• 5:26
  has no added value for my life and rather to go through bookstores or
• 5:30
  YouTube in search of new spiritual gurus that can attract my attention and thus let
• 5:38
  go of the opportunity for Jesus, through his words in the Gospel, to
• 5:43
  enlighten and transform our lives. The Nazarenes didn' t know, but I
• 5:49
  think they were experiencing the effect of a gold transmitter called dopamine. Dopamine is
• 5:57
  known as the pleasure armone. Recently I have read a book given by a
• 6:03
  great friend entitled dopamine, written by psychiatrist David Liverman, in which he somewhat
• 6:10
  corrects that notion of dopamine as the hormone of pleasure. According to Liberman,
• 6:15
  dopamine is not the molecule of pleasure, but of illusion. Dopamine doesn'
• 6:21
  t make us enjoy what we already have, but rather it excites us with
• 6:28
  the pleasure of what we still don' t have and throws us to achieve
• 6:31
  it. From the dopamine point of view, having things is not interesting.
• 6:38
  All that matters is to get them, that is, to achieve what we
• 6:43
  do not have. The Nazarenes already had Jesus, so it was not interesting
• 6:46
  for them. As human beings, we experience dopamine discharges from novelty and surprise.
• 6:56
  When something or someone happens to be a regular daily newspaper, the novelty
• 7:01
  disappears and dopamine then no longer flows. Why love fades. Our brain is
• 7:10
  programmed to yearn for the unexpected and thus look to the future, where any
• 7:15
  exciting possibility begins. But when everything, including love, becomes something known predictable,
• 7:23
  that enthusiasm disappears and we begin to attract other things. Whoever is addicted
• 7:30
  to dopamine experience always goes after novelty. It is the pleasure of expectation,
• 7:36
  the possibility of something known and better. That is why Liverman says that human
• 7:44
  love must mature by going from an experience of new search, of desire for
• 7:50
  expectation, to an experience of caring for and valuing what we already have,
• 7:57
  from something that we expect to take care of. And these are very different
• 8:01
  abilities. Lasting love puts more emphasis on experience than on expectation. It goes
• 8:09
  beyond the fantasy that anything is possible. To commitment to reality and all its
• 8:15
  imperfections, the brain must move from a future- oriented dopamine, to a
• 8:20
  serotonin and oxytocin oriented to the present, here and time. Well, leaving
• 8:28
  human love behind and returning to spiritual love and Nazarenes. Today is a day
• 8:33
  to re- evaluate the Gospel message that, by the way, as much
• 8:39
  as it is regular and periodic, the truth is that it never ceases to
• 8:43
  be novel, because God always tells us something new, because it is infinite
• 8:48
  that God blesses you the best selection of tender and freshly harvested vegetables, precooked
• 8:56
  and ultra frozen. They are natural nutritious and easy to prepare. Frozen to
