Thank you, families and dearies of what would be Jesus, in this occasion,

we're going to help to collaborate to the new evangelization a through some some

some little retiros that we are to presenting in our platforms of what

Jesus. Today, for what so, we're to dedicate this first

retire obviously and not could be to other way to the Santis

Virgin Maria. And why the Santissima Virgin Maria? Because in her starts all the work of the

salvation. It's thanks to Maria, it thanks to his su generosity, that we we can go

to Christ we can goz to his incarnation, we can't goz of the sacraments, we can goz

to the church, we can goz to the salvation. We can goza of the thanks and

blessings that God God does because we're given to the Santissima Virgin Maria.

So, we're going to start. First that, I'm going to do a or a

command to us to the Spirit Santo for that he illuminate our

our understanding and also for that we do the force, the that voluntas

to allow that the virtues of Mary Santisima that

we we're to present in the name of the Father and of the Sonob, Amen. Ven, Spirit, Santo,

Jena the crossones of your fieless and incendi in them the fire of your love. Invia, sir, your spirit, creator, and

renewa the face of the earth. O'Reemus, God, that has to illuminate the heart your eyes to

your eyes, with the Spirit, Santo, ask us docile to those inspirations, to get us always of

the good and gos every the consulul. For Christ, Nost, Amen. We commend Vendamos also the Santisim Virgin Maria

for that she, as a good mother, us help to live better those virtues that she lived. God, you say, Maria,

Jena is of grace, the Lord is with you. Bendita you are you all the women, and you are the fruit

of your life. Jesus. Santa Maria, Mother of God, rogap for us other

for us people, now and in the hour of our death, amen. Christ,

Lord, Vena, Venge, Your Rein' Virgin Prudentisima, Maria, Mother of the Church, Ruega for us.

Well, the first that I'd say is, what's what means the person of Maria.

Who is Maria? Maria, first that is the Jena of grace. Maria is the immaculata Conception.

Maria is centered in God, and, for the time, receive of all those virtues that

reflect their sanctity Maria also is the mother of Christ is the

full of grace is the the is the the father is the

that he conceiv by the spirit of Christ to Jesus to

Salvat and at and at the Christ also is mother of

the church and mother our if not was evident this relation,

Jesus it's evident from the when we he's a mother in the person of Juan

mother, there you your your son, there you your mother.

For the time, Maria is the gena of the immaculata, Maria is the

mother of Christ but also the mother of the church the

mother of the mother of the mother Santissima is that

creature that God is prepared to be the mother of his son, and for

Jesus us is God to make a mother to each one

of us and this has to get to to the figure to

make a a thing to get to turn and

and of care and of her and the heart,

as we do our mother, with our mother of the mother of the mother of

that we're we're we're doing that one of us because Maria

not is a a god not a god Maria not a creature

a greatora a Maria is a person like you and

you and at the same the mother of God

for so so it's a figure special is

is a really that has received graces divines incredible precious, but at the same

still being mother. And as being mother of the church

and our really we can with her a relation of children.

Ohal that we do we have that this retiro serve for

that we with her mother Maria, that not is a figure distant, not is a figure in a statue, in a quadro,

in an apparition, but that really is our mother and she preoccupy for us, intercede for us unto his son

and his son and he and us and he he and he will be to dedicate this

retiro, this charla to indigar to find and to and to profundize and to observe,

contemplar some virtues. Some of those virtues, because Maria has many different virtues,

of the fact, they say the the Santos that the Mary

Nuncum Amsatis. It is a Maria never is sufficient. Simply

we can talk something about a Maria. His virtues are

many are many and we and more of the heart, of the bondage,

of the serviciality, of the humiliation, of the semis of the massacies of Maria. And we'd continue, and for so they've

written books, and for that's have done many times, and for that have painted many, and for that is a

maria, we have a mother that we have so because we love us so, of the

which we're always we can say, and we always, um, So, like,

like, emotion us, and predicate and publicer his virtues and his

bondities. Always we can say, Piropos to the Virgin Maria, never

is sufficient. Because of Maria, De Maria, Nunku'am Satis. De Maria never is

sufficient. Nunca is a very, never is a lot. But, but,

but, but, well, but, but, well, this is a podcast and

this Retire, well, not, not will be a not be eternal,

no, it's we're to be in some some Virtuites

of the Santissima Virgin Maria. And I want to see that

your caridad, in your love generous for God and for

us. In second in his serviceial in the endrega

to do the life to do the and in the

entry of his life to be always atent to the necessities of his children.

And in third place, in the Aligria, that is the response

gososos to the plans of God. Even in the process. I

really the first the first the first the first words of the angel

to Mary are are allegate and that is the an

anuncio to the the an anunce of the incarnation of this Navidate that we're going to celebrate are alexia Alagrate Maria and Maria has life that

like a lot of times we imagine that Maria is that is that creature Seria, always resando with the eyes in black and up frontados to the sky and that always just he justu

He was there, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like is a

figure, like that's a thing, like a bit about, they're doing, or they put in, in the

in the quadros or in the statues, like, only so vestida, perfect, of a

blue, and , and, and I, I don't imagine a Maria, yeah, I think

Maria was, is a woman alegre, a woman gosososos, a woman

responded with a agree. No, no, not a woman that

was a drama, that was in the tragedy, that I had a life

a lot of a heart of the and for what so, today

we're to find in this virtue of Maria that's the

love. The care the love, the service and the

joy and the joy. Most to show for what we want to we

want to the virtues of Maria and how they manifest them in their

and a part of there we'll that we're we're we're those virtues.

In first place I would would show to show the caridad

of Maria the love of Maria and the first passage to you

I'm to you to go to the passage of Versiculus, of 39 to 45. To not enlargarm me

in this retiro, you can put a pause and read the passage, but is the

passage in the which Maria, moved by the love, for the caridad,

impulsed, for that that has for the other, visit to Isabel to serve

to be to be her, to come her, to help me, to help her,

in the moment of his embarazzo. Acquired that Isabel was a bit more a bit of

a part of complicated, he was a Juanita in the man he was and he was trying

to be he's not he he's going to see a his prima Isabel and this

to go to see a wife is like as a as we know that was there

he was there he went a bullet of an car car he went to a other city to

to be to his prima Isabel, but he took to put to put in a common,

says the evangelio, to the mountains of the Judea, he was to come in

certainly various kilometers. A little he took there a little an animal that could

that could be that could be to get to get in caravan and they were

to be many people to defenders also the the assaltators

of the assaltants of the and, and they'd and they'd a while a lot of

a lot of a lot of a lot of they'd and then they'd and then yeah,

and then less than Jesus Christ. The re of the universe entire. No,

he was her in a carosa full of a hauled for

cabos and with the guardia pre-Torri orian and there,

scoltando the of the right. Sure that no.

Maria There was, like a woman sincere, alex, with the heart full of to see a his prima

Santa Isabel because her prima was a woman and probably would need to help.

So, see the the carida of Maria, the carida of Maria that

is from from the moment one that is out to, to, to,

to, to, to, to show to show his carino. In

second we can see the virtue of Maria in the service. So,

we can observe in the bodes of Cana. Recurred that passage of the evangelist

in Juan chapter two of the verse of 1 to 11. I'm

I'm to pauses now this this this a

little you know and a the other than I'm for the passage of the a body of a body the one a body the

in times of Mary and Jesus the bodied of the Jews durables durable not so today the fact is that no no no me consta but I think that

also the boys judas are a fieston are a, some, I'm a grand pachanga, as we're saying in Mexico.

So, uh, because Maria was invited together with to Jesus to that and it's a

very much the that Maria is the way that's the love you know and he's he's got to and he says,

oh, Jesus, well, to the nubes he's got the wine. And Jesus he says to do the

mother my, well, to you, to me, no has got to my hour.

I'm here with my, with my my the Fiesta that I I mean,

why, because you implicates in something that not you corresponded? And Maria he said

to the servants, do what he says, and then Jesus does his first miracle

that is like, well, to be a party during various days because

he's because he did many many many and the Virgin

Santisima. It's means that Maria was not not was not there

in the chal with the a minute, is that's in the chism, as we're saying in the, in the

commentary superficial of, look, how he's a fullanita and, look, not more

the new most the food, but I'm not much the food. She was serving.

He was was helping for that the wedding to get a back.

And then the wife the wife there was there. With the

wedding planner and oh, and how is the music and

and how is the service and the repent Maria's enter that the wine. The inviteos no know they're, but Maria is, it's enter. Why? Because Maria was serving. What a beautiful example of Maria.

In third place, we were we going to contemplate of Maria the virtue of the and the virtue of the the legria is a part of the life of Maria

in the Magnificat. Is that that can't, that hymn that exulta the Santissima Virgen Maria in the passage of Lucas 1, verseicles, of 46 to 55. Lucas 1, 46 to 55.

You can't learn it now. And in that magnificat, in that can't, that hymn, Maria expresses his aligree in the Lord, reconnocing his grandeza and his works,

reconnocing the grandeza and the works that God has has done it. Lea with attention, the magnificate. You invite to you medites profoundly in your carousan. It's a can't of a legion. My

alma glorifics the Lord. My alma glorifics the Lord. Maria is content. Maria ista. Maria is is alexant. Maria is exultant. Maria is a greater aligria of Maria nace of the gratitude

and of the confidence in God. No, of the circumstances external. not of, if if he had a house very great or

very chica if Jose was he was to get to get to make Maria

the ultimate the ultimate tunica of the moda no Maria is

that is a because because he he's because he

he's because God is in God is And that And that's

And that's And that And so love in your heart in your heart that exulted of a aligia

Salta of a humno of alegria He's is a prayer Amen

Agradcing to God what has in your life Well, well, how we

can we we live too, these attitudes, these virtues of Maria

in our own life. first first the virtue of the caridad this virtue of the caridad that we've seen in the visitation

of the Santysimma virgin to her prima santa isabel what are the rascals the qualities of that visitation what are the attitudes of Maria

in the ira visit to his prima first the first of the first of her

mind of a matter to be the the mother of so we're we're to be used to be used

that being like Maria imitandola in that that's so for that

there's a very love we have we we're to

we're to we for that really the love

so the person to the we do and

in our own in our own in our own life and it's the experience of

when we're on a postolado of when we're to make some the carcel, of when we're we're doing a

limosna, of when we don't know that we dole this because it's my chamarra favorite but

I'm going to give a man that's that's a great. What that's because

we're we we're just we're we're we're doing we're we're making that

that other person be or that the other person or that in a way, receive something,

and, and over our love, our carino, and that's wonderful, because in that we

not we just like we're really we're really it's like, it's like the attitude of Maria is

first, in this virtue of the caridad, the She'll And to go to

the encounter of the other other person. Maria is she'll

forget to get to get to get to get to she's to get to the

people and she'll forget her she'll be she she not he doesn't she

the same same creator of the universe and Maria she'll

be to give to her to his prima Santa Isabel as a like a

like a a servanter, like a servantian, like a companyant, like a dama of companyia

like a like she she was a so, so autonomber as

the slave of the he was like a a to help to serve

to to give to love without without his necessities,

in his egoism, in his commodities, in what he was to do you to go to

that's the that's the true that's the realer that's a way more perfect

in Christ in the Christ and in the Christ, Maria, that's Maria, that

see a Jesus in the cross and he has done he has done his

same his own for salvation of all and Jesus, that's

all his blood, until the whole of the other to the other that's the old that's the

real thing. That's the Naviourable and this night that this retiro us help to love to

us to us to give to give to be a because a very conditionate not,

not quite maybe maybe maybe I'm kind of well you to me, I'm,

my, my life, my time, and my things, and my program, and my

and my agenda, and, well, in some moment, I'm, to do I,

to do it to be, but, but, no, I don't you can't you get a

that I'm my, and then so that's that's the love. Or, there's the

more, or no, we're, or we're just to not, to be able to In second And to continue contemplating and reflectioning in this retiro

About the virtues of Maria We've found this virtue So this virtue, that beautiful in it, that is the serviciality One thing, obviously, is the caridad, the love, that is something much more extensive,

that'surge from the heart of Maria and, for other side, is the serviciality, the service. What attitude is there in the interior of Maria for that serviciality, that is a virtue that in this time

we also could have to come. The attitude principal, to my mode of ver, to understand the serviciality of Maria is the attention, is that is to be atentous to the necessities of the other. We're going to be serviciales

like Maria when we're atentous to the necessities of our brothers, of the progimo. And we'll see in this passage that contemplates

on the bodes of Cana in where Maria not is only just being just doing, gosando, the festival, the boda,

but is that atent, it's an is with the antennas pustas to see what is what is what is what is necessary

for that the other are the important is that our life vivable as like Maria

this virtue of the serviciality for being authentic Christians and to live that

virtue of the serviciality we need to be more atentous be more atentous

about what is about what's about that important that's because I think that this

world is in the ensimimimient to do and now with the technology the

networks and that we're we're we're always we're there always

not agachated in our panel being our things and we

we're more attention to what is what is what is what is what

is about to see what are the necessities of our progimo. What beautiful is to be a someone who's always is atent, atent, to the other. I know one person that, I've got tope in a, in a voyage, and when we were at a point

to do the escalinators, the escalers, to boarder the avion, so he did count that like a five people of us over a

woman, but not was a old woman, but if it was a woman with an old old, he was cargating

his malet normal, like all of all the and he carried the maletta for that the lady

upier for a way a way more less and then we're we're going

to siter and we also he was he was he was at help

to come the maletas, for that cooped in, uh, in the establishments that there

are there in the aviions, no? In fin, me gave much example, because I said, what,

what, what are so things that tons, so things, but, what are the difference?

If all we're just we're just, to be able, to what happens to our world, and for

the time, atentos, to the other world would be, another gyo us can't cantara, as they're

like they're so so imit the attitude of service of Maria looking to be atentous

atentus what my family needs what my brother needs what my

is what my parents need what my my my my my

my and I can't I'm I'm to to come

to give us a detail or to help us in something I see to do

or in something I do you have to that the other receive that

attention and for so that that that that's service of my

part that me that me makes live a very life

Christian in ultimate we we want to contemplate

in Maria the virtue of the Alegia, the virtue of the Alegia.

What important virtue, what important virtue, this of the joy in a world and in

a time of the history, in the which pululan, abundant today the psychologists,

the psychiatr, the therapists, because there a lot of other other things

Tristes, like the depression, the anxiety, and and infirmities psychological for the tristesse in the many people

and women, today Maria us, we know, and we can't to be a to beckres, to be

in the Lord, as St. Pablo. And where is the attitude that we have to have to

be to be to be to be because the, the realer aligua, well,

not only only is that you just a lot of your friends or with your friends and

you're there's there a rote and rying and rying and passadet well,

that's very good, that you do you do that's a thing. The aligria

is an attitude that's a heart that's the attitude

that surge of the heart enamorado of God. But over

all the thing is because there's an attitude of a

true a real confidence in God and for

that Maria is always for so we see

that she always she is she she he

he he and that that that that that

has to have to a A peace interior. That confidence he gives to have to have

a tranquillity in your alma. That confidence to have to that's a aligria, that's a

reality that's a because she has that her life is in the man

of God his father. And that that is the we're that

we're that you're that you hear you that actually Not the

Aligua superficial that we do the world not the of the joy of the rest of the

lot of the because this Navi-Nabita this Navi-N-N- new or us are

to give that that we're to be able to get something to do something does a

lot of something is an great but it's a joy a pasager is an

energy superficial is a it's a something a a little epidermica

the The the that we need to she's a lot of the love and when a person like Maria, live, totally abandonedada in God, and totally abandoned in God and confia in God, and confia in it, is that the no there's nothing

and no no, no, or not the things, understandinging the concept relative in this

sense. Because, because no there's tragedies, no dramas, no he tricesas,

all is good. All right. It's an opportunity for to love to God. And so

we've been a Maria in his life. We've we've been, that she she, that she

precisely with the and alegia, acoke the Voluntate of God. And that is precisely what we're going to do now in Navidate. Accoger the Navidate

with alexi, confiating in God, because it's our Salvador. Because if not we did so, if

we didn't the confidence, the Navidate would be a story super Tristee. Dramatica, tragica,

terrible. Imagine a poor woman, that gotchated an embarasada, that then she's well, yeah, his husband

understood, but it's got to end padronar to the other side of the other side of the other months of the

time, caminando, because this of the burrito is something very romantic that we've put it's but not that's

been the burrita, but even if you have been there, the Virgin Maria, with eight, months and a half of the time, and then

there's no there, They're not hotels, no there where they can get,

no there there's there a campament that they're to get to the the day of the days of the part of.

And Joseph, then it has to be right a stable, and a cave, and you're to go to Egypt. oh, you know,

it's very tragic the history. It's the fact. But, but,

because, that is the history of our salvation, and that that that

that we does a confidence incredible of that God came, we've

been, we've made, well, Maria, did so everything. All right,

all the Even even the moment that his his son he has he has to go to

his life when his his when his when his resuscita who is the who is

there who is the and the people with the apostles with Jesus

is Maria is with there in the in the in the the

people she is she is sure that she that her triumphed and that his his son

has been to establish a reign that not is of this world and for the time, Maria is a happy, is alex, is a confiated in the Lord. And so we're all the moments of the

life of Maria are a legia. What important is that we are the same in our life. What important is that we do we do we do

our life? So, the manner that if, you know, then we're going to be, well,

one has a lot in the heart, because now it's not to be there. Because you're because,

because you know you're going to be able to get it, you know, we're not to be able to talk to

that person that's you're going, but there in your heart, in your heart,

in the most profound of your self that you that person that's in the

life, that's that's a great that marvellia because it's the confidence, because it's the experience Christiana or a new a problem. Of a person, a person. A lot, we're a person

and a person who's a good and, well, that's penoso and the medicines and the medical and the time. Yes, but in the fond, there's a confidence of that that that can't bring things good, me could have recapacitare, me I can make reactionar me, can make better my my life,

for something God is not there's a trust and for the time there's there's alexia. And so we can't go,

putting a lot of examples in where when one confia in God, the aligria surge spontaneous. Not the

legria of carcahas, but the joy that the peace and the tranquillity in the hearton.

Well, yeah, for this retire, about the Santissima Virgin Maria I'd

would just simply to finish doing a little exercise a exercise practical

to get to get to get to our life to our and to ask us

the questions to make to the virtues that we're we're

more more more and I with with with

prontitit in what area of my life I can

be more atent, more atent, how I can do to not be so isolated

and to be able to live with the antennas posted and give me account of the needs

of the other. And in third place, it would be very good

that also, in a virtue of the life, well, to do a

Or, better to do a list of these blessings that has received by God our God, good or

malas, under the commies, of those you can't give you and for the a lot
