00:01:36
of the Blessed Virgin
00:01:40
in the Gospels

then We saw the woman in the ancient age
00:01:46

historical meaning

00:07:09
very good afternoon
00:07:12
friends of Mar del Plata
00:07:15
as every year for a few
00:07:19
years now
00:07:20
I have had the pleasure and honor of addressing
00:07:25
you this time
00:07:28
from the silver
00:07:32
and
00:07:35
on this occasion I
00:07:37
cannot not
00:07:41
feel the perfume of the sea before
00:07:44
speaking to you but from here from
00:07:47
the silver I express to you For
00:07:52
these greetings, I
00:07:56
of course thank Cristian
00:07:58
Iglesias and the
00:08:02
Bears Center for this generous and cordial
00:08:05
invitation
00:08:07
to speak this year about Isabella the
00:08:10
Catholic and Saint Teresa of Jesus'
00:08:19
in a series
00:08:22
dedicated to
00:08:26
women
00:08:29
in the Christian tradition.
00:08:38
Oh, of course, from the outset, this The conference
00:08:41
will not attempt in any way to make
00:08:44
even a
00:08:47
synthetic presentation of the biography
00:08:49
of Isabella the Catholic and Saint Teresa of
00:08:52
Jesus. It would exceed
00:08:54
the time frame of the conference,
00:08:59
much less analyze each of the
00:09:02
aspects of her work in one case of her
00:09:04
thought in the other of her
00:09:08
mystical doctrine in the case of Saint Teresa
00:09:14
what I am going to deal with is both of them
00:09:18
as examples of strong women
00:09:24
that is the subtitle that has not seemed
00:09:27
appropriate to give this conference
00:09:31
Isabella the Catholic and Saint Teresa of
00:09:33
Jesus' two strong women
00:09:37
and I am going to start the conference by clarifying
00:09:40
the meaning of this title
00:09:43
and the first clarification consists of
00:09:46
reading a text from the Old
00:09:49
Testament that serves as an introduction, it is
00:09:54
the
00:09:58
beautiful acrostic poem with which it
00:10:03
ends From seeing the proverbs, your son, a
00:10:08
good part of chapter 31 between
00:10:12
verse 10 and verse 31, I
00:10:14
precisely
00:10:18
said, oh yes,
00:10:23
the strong woman who will make them
00:10:26
is worth much more than pearls.
00:10:30
Her husband's heart trusts in her and she does not
00:10:32
lack gain.
00:10:33
the adventure does not disgrace
00:10:36
all the time of her life she
00:10:39
procures wool and wine
00:10:41
and works with pleasure with her
00:10:44
hands she is like a merchant's ship that
00:10:47
brings her bread from afar still at night she
00:10:50
gets up and distributes the meal to her family
00:10:51
and He gives orders to his
00:10:54
cabin maids about looking for a purchase and with the
00:10:57
fruit of his hands he plants a vineyard. He follows
00:11:00
his loins with vigor and strengthens his
00:11:02
arms. He
00:11:03
experiences that his earnings are good and
00:11:05
not even at night does he turn off his lamp. He stretches his
00:11:09
hands to the spinning wheel and his hands. palms grasp the
00:11:12
spindle she extends her palms to the helpless and
00:11:15
extends her hand to the needy her family is not afraid of
00:11:18
the snow because everyone in her
00:11:20
house has double dresses they
00:11:23
make themselves blankets and their dresses are
00:11:25
purple links known at the doors her
00:11:28
husband when he sits between the
00:11:30
elders of the country make a tunic and
00:11:33
sell it, deliver it to the market, a follower is
00:11:36
clothed with strength and dignity and
00:11:39
smiles at the future with wisdom,
00:11:42
opens his mouth and on his tongue is the law
00:11:44
of goodness,
00:11:46
watches the progress of his house and She does not eat her
00:11:49
bread for nothing without her children and
00:11:52
they call her blessed and her husband exalts her.
00:11:56
Many daughters have done feats, but you
00:11:59
all know that
00:12:01
appearance is deceptive. They go to
00:12:06
beauty. The woman who fears God is to be
00:12:09
praised.
00:12:11
the fruit of their hands and
00:12:13
praise their works at the doors.
00:12:18
This text from the Old Testament is
00:12:22
known as the praise of the strong woman
00:12:28
because the verse that introduces the entire
00:12:31
pericope is precisely the one that
00:12:33
asks the strong woman who will do them is
00:12:37
worth much more than the pearls
00:12:43
here the strong woman is described from
00:12:46
the point of view of domestic life
00:12:47
of family life
00:12:49
she is the housewife the wife the mother who
00:12:54
with her strength allows
00:12:59
life health the growth
00:13:03
of the family
00:13:09
but this praise of the strong woman It is
00:13:11
the core of a much broader theme in
00:13:13
scripture
00:13:21
because we could ask ourselves what
00:13:24
makes a strong woman strong
00:13:29
and the biblical perspective
00:13:35
gives us a
00:13:37
unique and sure answer.
00:13:41
What makes a strong woman strong
00:13:45
is the grace of God'
00:13:48
and from here we move to another text
00:13:50
of the sacred scripture that we all
00:13:52
know and pray that it is the
00:13:53
magnificat of our lady. Let
00:13:57
us remember that there it begins by saying
00:13:59
magnificat animated ming exalts spirits
00:14:03
meu sinde or salute and half
00:14:06
creates military respect in Chile its
00:14:10
sex beate ditzen oms generations and if
00:14:15
they called me blessed all the generations
00:14:19
has a correlation in the text
00:14:21
we have just read
00:14:24
we have not read the sanse her children and they
00:14:27
call her blessed
00:14:31
but here it is about the blessed one
00:14:34
above all about the blessed one who is
00:14:36
the mother of the lord
00:14:41
and What she represents is the
00:14:44
strong woman in her most excellent form,
00:14:49
she is the strongest woman of all
00:14:51
strong women because she is the woman who
00:14:55
has fully fulfilled the will of
00:14:56
God
00:14:57
[Music]
00:14:58
a will that transcends all
00:15:00
human horizons,
00:15:02
all human strength
00:15:05
and requires a superhuman strength and
00:15:09
this is the biblical perspective of
00:15:10
strength
00:15:12
Paul says it very clearly the flesh
00:15:15
is weak the spirit is strong
00:15:19
the strong God
00:15:22
and the strength is in the love of God '
00:15:26
the flesh that is human nature and in
00:15:29
particular the human nature fallen and
00:15:32
wounded by the sin of Adam efe
00:15:38
this applies to the previous gender
00:15:42
choose human that encompasses the male and the
00:15:44
female
00:15:46
because it says the genesis of God
00:15:49
created man in his image according to his
00:15:52
likeness he created him male and female
00:15:57
and that
00:15:59
duality of male and female,
00:16:03
which expresses the creative will of God,
00:16:07
is a distinction within a unity
00:16:10
that is that of human nature made
00:16:13
by God in his image according to his
00:16:16
peers.
00:16:23
That human nature as a
00:16:25
created nature has the finitude and
00:16:28
fragility of The creature
00:16:31
has the capacity to be strong in its
00:16:33
nature, but with a
00:16:36
fallible strength, a strength that becomes
00:16:38
weakness. The
00:16:40
primary weakness of that creature
00:16:43
made in the image and likeness of God is sin, the
00:16:48
ability of man,
00:16:49
man and woman,
00:16:54
and strength in the biblical perspective
00:16:56
comes from God
00:16:58
the powerful
00:17:02
if we quote ourselves in this
00:17:04
perspective
00:17:05
I repeat the beginning of the magnificat leads
00:17:09
to praise to glorification although
00:17:12
the holy virgin does the
00:17:14
wonders left over by God in her in
00:17:16
her humility in her littleness
00:17:23
nothing more Opposite to this is
00:17:26
the feeling of arrogance by which
00:17:29
it is claimed
00:17:33
that the human being is strong in
00:17:35
and of himself or that the even worse strength
00:17:39
consists
00:17:41
of detaching oneself from God, separating oneself from
00:17:45
him and opposing him,
00:17:49
there we are already in a
00:17:51
clearly
00:17:53
satanic perspective in which the
00:17:56
meaning of things has been inverted and that is the
00:17:59
perspective that appears very
00:18:01
clearly in the feminism that floods us
00:18:05
everywhere today.
00:18:08
Woman
00:18:10
appears there in the perspective of a
00:18:13
loss that is the loss of the man
00:18:16
who claims to be the god of himself,
00:18:20
maker of his own greatness, of his
00:18:22
own strength, absolute owner and lord
00:18:26
of himself and of social life
00:18:29
and even more so of the being of things,
00:18:33
nothing is what it is because God has
00:18:36
created it as it is but rather everything, above
00:18:39
all, every human being
00:18:43
does what he wants, even
00:18:45
more so what would be 2 s,
00:18:48
then we are in a perspective of
00:18:52
hate, which is the maximum weakness because
00:18:54
what the love of God puts on is that
00:18:57
hatred that separates you, which puts you as if in a
00:19:00
kind of dialectic
00:19:03
of contradiction
00:19:05
of power
00:19:07
according to the Marxist conception of men and
00:19:10
women instead of seeing them in the
00:19:13
unity of the creature of God
00:19:17
in relation to the other
00:19:20
and in order to the same and only perfection
00:19:22
of Christian life
00:19:27
in late feminism a spirit of
00:19:29
arrogance, vanity, and selfishness that
00:19:33
makes it incompatible with the Christian faith,
00:19:37
not to mention when that is the day of
00:19:40
perspectives or conceptions
00:19:46
such as what is called
00:19:48
gender ideology in which, as I have
00:19:51
just said, it is not even recognized. being of
00:19:53
things,
00:19:56
there we have the most opposite attitude,
00:19:58
humility,
00:20:00
which is the root of strength
00:20:03
in writing because humility is
00:20:06
the beginning of fortitude,
00:20:08
living in the truth,
00:20:11
recognizing
00:20:13
precisely the order established by
00:20:15
God
00:20:16
[Music]
00:20:20
and all of that is It opposes a vision of
00:20:24
things and an attitude
00:20:28
in which what prevails is
00:20:31
the rejection of the order of all order of
00:20:34
all hierarchy, be it the hierarchy of the
00:20:37
creature in relation to the creator, be it the
00:20:40
order and even a certain order herat and
00:20:42
composed by God in the relationship between
00:20:45
man and woman,
00:20:47
all of this is rejected with a fierce hatred
00:20:53
from an ideological conception that
00:20:56
tends to destroy order and proclaim
00:21:01
in its place
00:21:03
the absolute discretion of the human will,
00:21:07
but there we are in the abyss of
00:21:09
weakness. Note that this is not true. It is the
00:21:12
strong, there is a strength, this is what
00:21:14
I want to highlight in this conference,
00:21:19
strength is not
00:21:22
the cry full of hate and empty of truth, that
00:21:26
is not strength, strength
00:21:29
is not the tense,
00:21:34
almost insane gesture
00:21:36
that claims as a right what is a
00:21:39
crime.
00:21:43
and that calls perversion virtue
00:21:48
that strengthens us that is weakness
00:21:51
maximum weakness because not only is it a
00:21:54
sin in itself but it is a sin
00:21:57
associated with an attitude and an ideology
00:22:01
that cultivate age
00:22:06
the strong woman is the virtuous woman by
00:22:09
the grace of Christ This is the
00:22:11
perspective of this conference and what
00:22:13
I want is to show Isabella the Catholic and
00:22:15
Saint Teresa of Jesus as examples
00:22:17
of strong women because they are virtuous women
00:22:21
in the grace of Christ with whom virtue
00:22:24
is a word that comes from the Latin
00:22:27
virtus. which in turn comes from the same
00:22:31
root that tea has.
00:22:50
Isabel, who wants to praise her,
00:22:53
the praise often happens because she is
00:22:55
a virile woman who wants a
00:22:57
strong woman, a virtuous woman, a woman who does
00:23:01
not look like a woman but rather a virtuous woman.
00:23:10
The two figures whose
00:23:12
memory brings us together today
00:23:16
are
00:23:18
Isabel the First of Castile, Isabel the
00:23:22
Catholic
00:23:23
and Teresa of beloved Saint Teresa of Jesus
00:23:27
[Music]
00:23:29
two Castilian women,
00:23:32
one born
00:23:36
in the middle of the 15th century
00:23:39
and died at the beginning of the 16th century
00:23:43
and the other born at the beginning of the 16th and
00:23:47
died towards the end of the 16th,
00:23:50
we are
00:23:52
in the Castilian lands if you locate us
00:23:55
The places of birth and death of
00:23:56
these two women there is a
00:23:59
surprising geographical concentration
00:24:03
if you take the trouble to look at
00:24:06
a map
00:24:08
of Spain' and more precisely of
00:24:10
Castilla de Castilla y León
00:24:14
you will be able to locate the towns to which I am
00:24:17
referring to Isabel the Catholic' was born in Madrigal de
00:24:21
las Altas Torres
00:24:25
in the year 1,451
00:24:28
and died in Medina del Campo
00:24:33
in the year 2000 504
00:24:38
Teresa of Ávila Saint Teresa of Jesus
00:24:42
was born in Ávila
00:24:45
in the year 1515 and died in Alba de Tormes
00:24:50
in the year 1,581
00:24:55
these two these four Cities, sorry,
00:24:57
are located in a territory that
00:25:02
is concentrated in distances that do not exceed
00:25:05
100 kilometers from each other. From city to city,
00:25:07
we are
00:25:10
in a region in which the
00:25:12
main cities are Ávila
00:25:14
Valladolid or Salamanca.
00:25:22
This is how the lives
00:25:26
of these two women fundamentally unfold. strong
00:25:32
and this concentration
00:25:33
is not coincidental in the perspective of this
00:25:37
conference but rather it shows us these
00:25:39
two women rooted in a tradition
00:25:41
that is the Hispanic Christian
00:25:45
Hispanic Catholic tradition that has
00:25:49
an
00:25:50
admirable bastion in Castile. These represent a
00:25:55
tradition in which they are inserted in
00:25:58
which to a large extent they live and to which they
00:26:00
contribute to a high degree
00:26:03
with their personal work with their own activity
00:26:08
and are two clearly different figures
00:26:10
of course we have a queen and a
00:26:13
nun
00:26:15
in principle it might seem like nothing more
00:26:17
opposite
00:26:19
and yet we will see how
00:26:21
That perspective is erroneous precisely
00:26:26
because they are two strong women, that is,
00:26:27
two Christian women,
00:26:30
and then the life of the
00:26:33
queen,
00:26:35
in order for her to be a good queen, will have to
00:26:38
be a life
00:26:40
of prayer, a life of recollection, a
00:26:44
life with a dimension of contemplation,
00:26:48
because if not, She will be able to govern as a
00:26:51
Christian queen
00:26:53
and the case of Isabella the Catholic is the
00:26:56
case of an exemplary queen as a
00:26:59
Christian queen and therefore also a
00:27:02
praying queen, that is, with her dimension and
00:27:07
virtuous with all the virtues
00:27:09
of the Christian woman, that is, with her
00:27:12
appearance. as a nun, if you will,
00:27:15
deep in her heart, in her spiritual life,
00:27:18
from which all her activity as queen emanates,
00:27:22
Saint Teresa on the other hand, on the other hand,
00:27:25
she is a cloistered nun,
00:27:27
but to whom God gave the mission
00:27:31
of founding,
00:27:37
imagine If you are that the life of a
00:27:39
nun of capture is a life of full
00:27:42
recollection
00:27:46
of total conservation of the interior life
00:27:48
and that is the life of Saint 3 and all her
00:27:52
reform is in pursuit of this in pursuit of
00:27:56
living fully consecrated Carmelite nuns
00:28:00
goodbye in a perfect barefoot that
00:28:05
means renunciation of the world and
00:28:09
full surrender,
00:28:11
goodbye,
00:28:15
but she had to found this reform
00:28:19
and then she had to move a lot, she had to
00:28:21
walk,
00:28:23
leave the cloister,
00:28:27
travel the paths of the
00:28:30
Castilian monarchy from city to city to
00:28:33
founding convents
00:28:35
then suddenly there now we have the other way
00:28:38
around the nun of the cloister becomes an
00:28:41
active woman a woman of government
00:28:44
because of course as a reformer she is the one who
00:28:47
holds the reins
00:28:48
of the reformed Carmelites she is the mother
00:28:52
of all the founding mother who has
00:28:55
to go from city to city, opening
00:28:59
new communities, founding convents,
00:29:02
but just as it is impossible to think of the
00:29:05
virtue of the queen without the
00:29:08
prayerful interiority of the baptized Christian
00:29:11
in Isabel, it is also impossible to think of
00:29:16
the travels of Saint Tereza and her
00:29:19
founding itineraries
00:29:23
as anything other than as A projection
00:29:24
of the cloister is a demand of that
00:29:28
life totally given to God because
00:29:31
in that leaving the cloister there is
00:29:34
precisely the dimension of the cross
00:29:38
that God has destined for him, and this is
00:29:42
where his most
00:29:44
painful works are, his
00:29:47
greatest sorrows, his most
00:29:50
intense difficulties. in that tension with all the
00:29:56
realities of the world that she has to
00:29:58
face when founding her
00:30:05
but she has the strength acquired
00:30:07
in internal combat in spiritual combat
00:30:12
because she is a woman consecrated to the path
00:30:17
of perfection and that is why a strong woman
00:30:24
is conference will try to have a
00:30:30
double character double nuance that comes right
00:30:33
from the fact that
00:30:36
the day in which
00:30:39
this conference is seen
00:30:41
is not the day in which I am only recording
00:30:43
but the day in which you will see it, it has been
00:30:44
called the silver day,
00:30:46
August 21, it is the commemoration of
00:30:50
Saint Pius de Silva whom I have invoked at the
00:30:52
beginning of this class
00:30:55
and that is why I want to give this
00:30:56
conference a double nuance, its
00:30:59
catechetical nuance on the one hand because it is broad,
00:31:02
we say the patron of catechesis in
00:31:03
the Catholic Church
00:31:08
and an anti-modernist nuance
00:31:13
that It has only been introduced by opposing the
00:31:15
Christian concept of strength to a
00:31:18
modernist concept of strength that
00:31:20
understands strength from power and
00:31:24
human empowerment,
00:31:30
which, like pride, is the sin of all
00:31:34
sins and therefore the maximum
00:31:37
weakness takes on an
00:31:44
anti-climax. modernism continues to exist
00:31:46
throughout development but
00:31:49
modernism as a mentality
00:31:53
now that it is broad we say in a
00:31:58
serious and severe way
00:32:03
according to the tradition of the entire church
00:32:06
continues to be
00:32:09
a permanent temptation for
00:32:11
Christian spirits
00:32:14
and a source of constant misguidance that It is
00:32:16
not only present in
00:32:18
feminism but it is present in
00:32:22
multiple aspects of present social life
00:32:27
and also in multiple aspects,
00:32:30
including the life of the church,
00:32:37
as an error that is caused
00:32:40
by many shortcuts that lie in wait for us as
00:32:44
temptations
00:32:47
to deviate from the truth. and of the
00:32:49
cross of Christ
00:32:55
I start with Doña Isabel the Catholic' the
00:32:59
queen
00:33:02
and I am going to try in both cases to
00:33:06
present them fundamentally through
00:33:08
their own words
00:33:12
briefly with the words of someone
00:33:16
who has witnessed their lives or who
00:33:19
speaks about them but that it is
00:33:21
approximately contemporary
00:33:25
but fundamentally I insist on their
00:33:27
words, they left the table of them so
00:33:29
that you can see which is the
00:33:31
spirit that makes them strong that
00:33:33
makes them strong
00:33:36
both that it is the same spirit
00:33:44
that has been given to us by the grace of
00:33:46
Christ
00:33:49
come and see I want to highlight
00:33:52
the Christian virtues, a
00:33:55
catechetical topic, not the theological virtues,
00:33:57
faith, hope, charity,
00:34:00
the faith
00:34:02
of the queen because we cannot think of
00:34:06
Isabel the Catholic and her
00:34:11
historical name
00:34:13
is naming her. We cannot think and
00:34:16
know the Catholic without the Catholic faith. She
00:34:20
is a Catholic queen,
00:34:24
she is a queen of faith, so
00:34:28
hope, let us remember, is
00:34:31
the virtue
00:34:32
by which
00:34:34
we go farewell as a goal with
00:34:37
full confidence
00:34:40
that with the means of her grace
00:34:42
we will be able
00:34:45
to reach it
00:34:48
and we will see to what extent that is
00:34:49
present in the life of Isabella the
00:34:52
Catholic but it can already be seen in her
00:34:56
work, that is to say, in the magnanimity with which she
00:35:00
reigns in undertaking large
00:35:03
undertakings of the Catholic queen with the firm
00:35:10
confidence that God will assist her in
00:35:13
reaching the mix. She
00:35:16
is the queen. of charity also
00:35:20
because she is a queen whose reign follows
00:35:24
the law of quality, love God
00:35:26
above all things and one's neighbor
00:35:27
as oneself
00:35:30
and then
00:35:33
those moral attitudes are also found in her,
00:35:35
justice, temperance, strength
00:35:41
and test night
00:35:46
only considering virtue by virtue what I
00:35:51
am going to do is read texts and
00:35:53
point out in each case the presence
00:35:55
of that virtue in the spirit of knowledge
00:36:02
Isabel was queen
00:36:05
of castile
00:36:08
and león
00:36:10
and galicia
00:36:14
and toledo
00:36:16
and seville and jaén and morse
00:36:21
and the Algarve and Algeciras
00:36:25
and the Canary Islands
00:36:33
of Las Cleans
00:36:35
finally
00:36:37
because we remember that under her reign
00:36:44
the conquest of the kingdom of the Indies begins,
00:36:52
she is the queen who owns the crown of
00:36:55
Castile but then she will also be
00:36:57
queen consort of the crown of Aragon,
00:37:00
that is, queen consort of Aragon of
00:37:03
Valencia
00:37:04
countess of Barcelona
00:37:08
queen of Sicily and of Naples and of
00:37:13
Sardinia and of Corsica
00:37:16
and countess of Athens and not patriot
00:37:20
these are subtitles
00:37:24
queen consort for her marriage
00:37:26
obviously with Fernando the Catholic
00:37:30
of Aragon
00:37:34
that is one of the historical realities
00:37:36
that The name of
00:37:38
Isabella the Catholic always links, of course, the
00:37:45
personal union
00:37:50
from her heirs
00:37:54
of the two large portions of the
00:37:57
Castilian monarchy
00:38:00
in a single person,
00:38:04
first Queen Doña Juana and then her
00:38:09
son Carlos
00:38:16
to situate ourselves, I said a moment ago
00:38:18
that
00:38:22
both Strong women belonged to the
00:38:24
tradition,
00:38:26
let's detach dissolution.
00:38:28
We don't understand them. You
00:38:29
can't understand Isabel as queen
00:38:33
without placing yourself in the perspective of what
00:38:36
the Castilian-Leonese monarchy is.
00:38:39
I saw you read
00:38:41
some passages from the first title of the
00:38:46
first game.
00:38:49
I'm referring to a
00:38:51
fundamental law of the Castilian
00:38:53
Leonese crown which are the seven games of
00:38:56
Alfonso we say the saps
00:39:00
this is the law of the kingdom the fundamental law
00:39:06
and we read here in this first game
00:39:09
title first the following
00:39:15
in the service of God
00:39:19
and for the common good of all we make
00:39:22
this book
00:39:24
because those who read it make in it
00:39:27
all things fulfilled and certain to
00:39:30
take advantage of them
00:39:32
and we distribute in titles what it means
00:39:34
as well as the sum of the reasons that are
00:39:36
shown and in these reasons
00:39:38
things are shown completely as they are and by
00:39:40
the understanding what they have are called
00:39:42
read
00:39:44
people is the dina laws are called
00:39:47
the beliefs that men have and
00:39:49
they would make sure that those in this book do not
00:39:52
speak except about those, so
00:39:54
to get them out of this doubt
00:39:56
we will make them understand that the s are these
00:40:00
and you feel that current This has
00:40:03
also been said in the Spanish of the 3rd century
00:40:08
so that you can be this compilation of
00:40:10
stress and this exposition of the laws
00:40:14
for the service of God and for the
00:40:18
common good of men, in particular of
00:40:20
the separatist subjects.
00:40:25
very conception of the Castilian monarchy in the
00:40:27
order of charity,
00:40:31
Isabel has been a queen of charity for a while, well, that is printed in
00:40:35
the very laws of the
00:40:36
Castilian monarchy because to reign is to first
00:40:39
serve God
00:40:41
and second
00:40:42
to provide for the common good of the people. Men
00:40:47
love goodbye above all things and love
00:40:49
their neighbor as oneself,
00:40:54
but for this to happen,
00:40:57
the true laws must be taken as laws
00:41:00
and here we have a fundamental issue not
00:41:04
why the figure
00:41:06
of Isabella the Catholic and the tradition of
00:41:10
the monarchy Castilian gain strength
00:41:12
in the face of
00:41:14
the
00:41:16
alienating and perverse
00:41:19
legal positivism that reigned today in Spain, in
00:41:22
Argentina and in almost the entire world.
00:41:29
People are life. I made the games. They
00:41:33
call the beliefs that men have laws
00:41:38
and they would take care that those in this book did not
00:41:40
speak. but of those,
00:41:43
therefore, to remove them from this doubt, we
00:41:45
will make them understand what laws these are
00:41:53
to establish how men are to
00:41:55
believe and keep the faith of Jesus Christ
00:41:56
as it is and others and how they know how to
00:41:59
live with each other well and
00:42:01
orderly.
00:42:02
according to the pleasure of God and others and according to
00:42:06
the life of this world, living
00:42:08
in law and justice,
00:42:11
notice that
00:42:15
the first law is
00:42:19
knowing how to live by
00:42:24
believing and keeping the faith of Jesus Christ
00:42:31
in order to be able to know how to live with one
00:42:34
another well and orderly. according to the
00:42:37
will of God
00:42:41
and continues natural light be what is just
00:42:46
natural the natural right means
00:42:47
in romance as a natural right that
00:42:50
men and even the other
00:42:52
consenting animals have in themselves others if you
00:42:55
unite Latin means as a right
00:42:57
common to all which is appropriate to
00:42:59
men and not to other animals because
00:43:00
men could not live in
00:43:02
peace if you do not use ndr because this right
00:43:05
each man knows the uses and
00:43:08
the fields and the areas of
00:43:11
the towns and others are distributed to them and it is men
00:43:13
all for worship God and obey his
00:43:15
parents, his father and his land, which in
00:43:17
Latin is called homeland, and others, and
00:43:19
be aware of this right so that each person
00:43:22
can stand against those who
00:43:23
would dishonor or force him, and
00:43:26
even more so, everything he does for
00:43:27
defend oneself from the force that they want to
00:43:29
exert against one's person, who is understood to
00:43:32
do so with the right
00:43:36
and with a single positive plus,
00:43:40
to our Lord Jesus Christ belong
00:43:42
the laws that speak of faith and unite
00:43:44
man to God with love by right, that is why
00:43:47
it is advisable to love him and honor him. and having it for
00:43:49
its goodness and for the good it does us,
00:43:54
the laws that unite them by love belong to the government of men and this
00:43:56
is the right and reason for these two things is
00:43:59
the justice that makes men live
00:44:01
as it suits them and without reason. to
00:44:03
disarm each other but to love each other well these
00:44:06
laws unite the wills of
00:44:08
men out of friendship
00:44:12
that is
00:44:15
the seventh law and the twelfth law says
00:44:19
thus emperor or king can make laws
00:44:22
about people of his lordship and no one else does
00:44:25
not have the power to make them
00:44:26
temporally alone without their
00:44:29
granting being made and those that are made in another way
00:44:31
have no name or force of
00:44:35
laws nor should they be valid at any time
00:44:41
and ended up going back to the legion
00:44:43
connect if it is the last one that I read the one who
00:44:45
makes the laws must love God and
00:44:48
fear him and have it before your eyes while they
00:44:51
make them so that they are right and
00:44:54
fulfilled, to love justice and the
00:44:57
communal commons of all and to understand the right
00:44:59
of wrong and they should not be ashamed
00:45:02
in changing their laws when others
00:45:05
will demonstrate the reason for doing so because it is a
00:45:07
great right. It is to right when to
00:45:10
err in others
00:45:12
that knows how to be with itself
00:45:17
I have gone back to the games in its
00:45:21
first introductory fundamental part
00:45:24
so that you can see in which tradition
00:45:26
we must place Isabel the Catholic
00:45:30
when that is what we say is a queen
00:45:33
it is a figure of government,
00:45:37
if we want to think about it from the
00:45:39
categories of day, we do not understand anything, we
00:45:41
already have Isabel the Catholic,
00:45:43
we do not know what we are talking about
00:45:46
because the monarchy in Castile is
00:45:47
designed according to these laws that I have just
00:45:49
read, these are the fundamental laws
00:45:51
of the Castilian monarchy
00:45:56
and I repeat the beginning of the law 11. He who
00:46:01
makes the laws must love God and
00:46:04
fear him and have him before his eyes. He
00:46:07
makes them so that they are right and fulfilled. He
00:46:10
must love justice and the commons
00:46:14
of all of the common good and understand the
00:46:17
right of the wrong and should not be
00:46:19
ashamed in very long to amend
00:46:21
human laws feel when there is
00:46:23
just reason to do
00:46:33
Isabel the Catholic' bursts into
00:46:36
Castile in the middle of the 15th century,
00:46:42
born precisely in the middle of the century
00:46:47
dear to
00:46:49
the crown of her father Juan Second of
00:46:54
Castilla after the death of his
00:46:56
brother Henry the Fourth I
00:47:00
am not going to go into the biography I said
00:47:01
there are many biographies play like this you
00:47:04
can read I remember three that are
00:47:07
classic works for the substance they have and
00:47:09
for the solidity of their authors one is that
00:47:12
of walls
00:47:14
another Isabella the Catholic' by the
00:47:18
English historian Hispanist Walls then we have
00:47:22
a second very important work is
00:47:25
Isabella the Catholic' by
00:47:27
Azcona Spanish Capuchin friar
00:47:32
published in La Vaca a very solid work
00:47:34
very documentary very wordy
00:47:37
and then we have the
00:47:41
most recently written biography The others
00:47:44
are not classic works of the 20th century. The
00:47:46
latter was published in
00:47:48
approximately 2003 or 2004. Isabella the
00:47:52
Catholic is the queen of the great
00:47:55
Spanish historian Luis Suárez Fernández
00:48:00
and we can go and learn to know
00:48:04
the main lines of the biography of
00:48:07
Isabella the Catholic.
00:48:12
What I
00:48:14
wanted to point out is that Isabel no p
00:48:17
as heir to Juan according to Henry
00:48:20
after the government of the rich fourth of the
00:48:22
reign Henry the Fourth, an
00:48:24
extremely problematic reign with
00:48:28
internal struggles in the Castilian monarchy
00:48:30
between factions of the high aristocracy
00:48:32
of the kingdom
00:48:34
and Isabel's work
00:48:38
will consist in
00:48:41
pacifying the kingdom of Castile and
00:48:43
pacifying it fundamentally through
00:48:46
justice,
00:48:53
rigorously and courageously applying
00:48:57
the laws of the kingdom, the royal authority
00:49:04
and always trying to respect the
00:49:06
rights of each person
00:49:09
but putting each person in their place, the
00:49:11
work of internet justice, of
00:49:16
course. They are also very
00:49:18
important undertakings of the reign of Isabella the
00:49:20
Catholic,
00:49:21
the
00:49:24
technical reform, the reform of the church and which will have
00:49:27
the invaluable support of
00:49:31
Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros,
00:49:38
the
00:49:42
culmination of the reconquest
00:49:45
in which she will have the fundamental support
00:49:47
of her consort with Fernando de Aragón.
00:49:51
That led to the conquest of the kingdom
00:49:54
of Granada, the last Muslim bastion in
00:49:58
Spain. It
00:50:04
is also
00:50:09
another fundamental aspect of his reign.
00:50:12
The beginning of the
00:50:15
discovery and conquest of the sites.
00:50:23
I have talked about things that are all
00:50:25
linked to the crown of Castile. If
00:50:28
ecclesiastical reform,
00:50:31
discovery and conquest. of America
00:50:34
pacification of the crown
00:50:37
through a series of
00:50:39
legislative measures and
00:50:43
government actions that, as I said, will try to
00:50:46
establish order by making everyone
00:50:49
occupy their rightful place
00:50:52
in that order.
00:50:54
There are measures such as the creation of the holy
00:50:57
brotherhood
00:51:00
expulsion of the Jews due to the
00:51:03
long process already for that time of the
00:51:08
Judas before that they were the Jews
00:51:11
apparently converted to
00:51:12
Christianity who introduced a
00:51:16
dissolving factor in social life
00:51:20
through a deceptive attitude
00:51:22
that is to say of being Christians in
00:51:25
appearance but not in In reality,
00:51:33
all the great ones that I am making a very
00:51:36
brief review, very tight to
00:51:38
remember to simply bring to mind
00:51:39
fundamental aspects of Isabel's reign,
00:51:48
that reign is a joint reign to the
00:51:50
extent that she reigns together with the
00:51:53
king consort of Castile, Ferdinand
00:51:57
as well as her. occupies the place of queen
00:52:00
consort in Aragon fernando occupies the
00:52:03
place of king consort in castile
00:52:05
although the situations are not symmetrical
00:52:08
we would say because
00:52:11
[Music]
00:52:15
the participation of fernando neuronal
00:52:17
castilla is going to be more important than that
00:52:19
of isabel in the Aragonese monarchy by
00:52:22
virtue of that the institutions of
00:52:24
both brands establish it this way and by virtue
00:52:25
of the fact that it is a man and a woman
00:52:30
and
00:52:32
the presence of the king consort in
00:52:36
Castile is a more important presence
00:52:39
than the presence of the queen consort in
00:52:43
Aragon, which
00:52:46
said, yes. I remember that each
00:52:49
of these is the king who owns his
00:52:51
kingdom. It is clear to say Fernando reigns in
00:52:55
Aragon and Isabella reigns in the castle,
00:53:01
but she herself recognizes in her letters and
00:53:05
finally in her will
00:53:09
the extensive collaboration that
00:53:11
the king has given to her husband. Fernando
00:53:15
in his government activity,
00:53:19
the text I am going to take as a guide, in the
00:53:21
case of Isabel, this is precisely her
00:53:26
testament with the col and yes, it is an
00:53:29
extensive document and you are
00:53:31
all the pages that I have here, far
00:53:35
away is the possibility of reading it. and
00:53:37
analyze it completely but only
00:53:39
some paragraphs of the will but
00:53:42
Isabel's will is a
00:53:43
very important document first because of the
00:53:45
longest text that we have written by her
00:53:49
what we have are some letters,
00:53:53
not many, a few letters,
00:53:56
handwritten by Isabel are preserved,
00:53:58
others dictated by her and with her handwritten signature,
00:54:03
which is the most common, there are a very few
00:54:06
that are handwritten, that is, written by
00:54:08
herself,
00:54:09
normally the king or queen dictates that they
00:54:12
do their correspondence and after
00:54:14
signing it
00:54:19
with some of those letters to their
00:54:21
confessors because speaking of Talavera
00:54:26
To Fray Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros,
00:54:35
this is not
00:54:37
something that is striking to us,
00:54:40
even if it were the
00:54:43
usual custom of that time, but we are
00:54:45
not saying that they address each other in the
00:54:48
heading of their letters,
00:54:51
not each other,
00:54:53
under the title of my lord and madam. mine
00:54:58
and that is what they call
00:55:05
the
00:55:06
will, as I have said, it is the
00:55:09
longest document that we have coming from the mind
00:55:12
of the spirit of Isabel the Catholic and
00:55:15
as a will it is at the same time a
00:55:17
document of a private and public order
00:55:19
but more public than private because of the The
00:55:21
king's will was a
00:55:23
public law document
00:55:26
that regulated, among other things, the
00:55:28
succession,
00:55:29
so it was not a
00:55:33
private will like that of any subject of
00:55:36
the crown but a public law document.
00:55:43
The will was dictated in Medina del
00:55:45
Campo de Isabel. October 12, 1504
00:55:51
and to this will a codicil is later added,
00:55:58
granted in the middle of the field on
00:56:01
November 23, 1504.
00:56:09
The document begins thus
00:56:16
in the name of Almighty God, Father
00:56:18
and Son and Holy Spirit, three persons,
00:56:21
a divine essence, creator and
00:56:23
universal governor of the heaven and earth and
00:56:25
all things visible and invisible
00:56:28
and of the glorious virgin mary her mother
00:56:30
queen of heaven and lady of the
00:56:32
angels our lady and lawyer and of
00:56:34
that very excellent prince of the
00:56:36
church and angelic chivalry saint
00:56:37
michael and of the glorious his
00:56:41
heavenly messenger angel sanz grabriel the honor
00:56:44
of all the saints of the court
00:56:46
of heaven especially of that very
00:56:48
holy precursor and preacher of our
00:56:50
redeemer Jesus Christ Saint John the Baptist and
00:56:52
of the very blessed princes of
00:56:54
the apostles Saint Peter and Saint Paul with
00:56:56
all the other apostles
00:56:57
especially of the very blessed Saint
00:57:00
John the Evangelist, beloved disciple of
00:57:02
our Lord Jesus Christ and great
00:57:05
and careful eagle to whom his very high
00:57:08
mysteries and secrets were very highly
00:57:10
revealed and by his special son he saw his very
00:57:14
glorious mother at the time of his holy
00:57:16
passion. very strongly entrusting
00:57:18
the virgin to the virgin whom holy
00:57:22
evangelists or I have as my
00:57:23
special advocate in this present life and who serves
00:57:27
but to have at the hour of my death and in
00:57:30
that very terrible judgment and this its
00:57:33
terrible examination against the powerful when my
00:57:36
soul is presented before the royal chair and
00:57:38
throne of the very just and
00:57:40
very equal sovereign judge who, according to our
00:57:42
merits, must judge us all
00:57:44
in one
00:57:46
with the blessed and worthy brothers,
00:57:48
used the apostle James, singular and
00:57:51
excellent father and patron of these my
00:57:54
kingdoms and very wonderful and
00:57:56
mercifully given to those by
00:57:58
our Lord because he is the
00:57:59
guardian and protector
00:58:02
and with the patriarch confessor traffic of
00:58:04
the poor and wonderful alters of
00:58:06
our Lord Jesus Christ our father
00:58:08
but very beloved and special lawyer San
00:58:10
Francisco with the glorious confessors
00:58:12
great friends of our Lord Saint
00:58:14
Jerome, glorious doctor and Saint Dominic,
00:58:16
who shone like evening stars in
00:58:19
the western parts
00:58:20
of Misrata and us on the eve of the end
00:58:22
of the world, in which
00:58:25
I have special devotion to each one of them, and with
00:58:27
the welcome of Saint Mary Magdalene, to
00:58:29
whom I also maintain for my lawyer
00:58:31
because just as it is certain that we must
00:58:33
die, it is not certain when or
00:58:36
where we will die, so we must
00:58:39
live and thus be prepared as if at
00:58:41
every hour we were going to die
00:58:44
[Music]
00:58:46
this is the introduction of the testament
00:58:48
the beautiful invocation that begins with
00:58:51
the holy trinity and then goes
00:58:53
through
00:58:56
the names of the dens ancient virgin
00:58:58
mary
00:59:02
miguel gabriel
00:59:05
samper and saint paul and then stops
00:59:08
at length on two figures
00:59:16
whom he invokes as patrons personal use
00:59:18
that saint john evangelism
00:59:22
let us remember that in the arm of the
00:59:24
Catholics,
00:59:26
the coat of arms appears with the
00:59:30
caudal eagle as a background, which represents, we are with
00:59:33
the evangelist,
00:59:36
the crossed coat of arms of the
00:59:38
Castilian-Leonese monarchy and the Aragonese monarchy,
00:59:44
a quartered shield that has in the
00:59:47
first and fourth partitions
00:59:51
the arms of Castile and León and in the
00:59:53
second and in the third the souls of
00:59:56
Aragon and of Physics
01:00:00
the kingdom of Sicily and Naples
01:00:04
he
01:00:06
and then at the tip the
01:00:09
pomegranate will be added that represents the recently
01:00:11
conquered kingdom of Granada title that is
01:00:13
added to the entire title that I said of
01:00:15
Isabel the catholic at the beginning but let
01:00:17
me forget the queen of granada
01:00:20
that she acquires after the conquest
01:00:23
of
01:00:26
the homonymous kingdom
01:00:32
that eagle of saint john presents us with a
01:00:36
very interesting aspect because she
01:00:38
mentions saint john as
01:00:42
the beloved disciple
01:00:45
of the front her christ and eagle wealth and
01:00:48
care to whom he revealed his very high mysteries
01:00:52
and secrets very highly and for his
01:00:55
special son to his very glorious mother
01:00:57
he gave at the time of his holy passion those
01:01:00
attributes of Saint John that stands out not
01:01:02
first that he is the beloved disciple there
01:01:05
we enter the waiting for charity
01:01:07
precisely not after disguising that
01:01:09
the highest mysteries are revealed, that is why
01:01:12
the tail eagle that rises in
01:01:14
the contemplation of the mysteries of
01:01:17
faith is the
01:01:20
one who begins his gospel from the
01:01:21
highest in the beginning there was the
01:01:24
word and The verb was hair and the
01:01:27
verb was
01:01:32
After
01:01:35
the yellow passion has been given for the son,
01:01:40
there is the special protection of the
01:01:42
Holy Virgin over Spain
01:01:45
and then the other patron appears, the one who
01:01:48
invokes with extensive speech that he is
01:01:51
Santiago, patron saint of our kingdom, he says
01:01:57
linked. to the holy virgin in her
01:02:01
manifestation of the pillar of Zaragoza
01:02:03
and
01:02:05
evangelizer of the lands of
01:02:08
Spain
01:02:11
in the origins of evangelization
01:02:15
Santiago
01:02:17
el Mayor
01:02:23
and then also especially invokes
01:02:26
Saint Francis which has to do with
01:02:29
your spirituality because it is app
01:02:41
and see In some way, the influence
01:02:47
of the importance in
01:02:49
Castile of the 15th century, especially the second
01:02:51
half of the 15th century, will
01:02:53
also be felt in the 16th century, but especially
01:02:55
in the 15th, the Franciscan spirituality,
01:02:58
the Franciscan mysticism,
01:03:02
the reforming exemplarity of the
01:03:05
Franciscan order and in the case From Isabel, these
01:03:09
things come to her directly through
01:03:10
her confessor, Fray Francisco Jiménez de
01:03:14
Cisneros,
01:03:17
there is a spirit, notice, of poverty of
01:03:20
dispossession, a deeply
01:03:23
filial spirit of dedication to God
01:03:25
[Music]
01:03:28
the Holy Mother of God,
01:03:31
a spirit of faith, hope and
01:03:33
quality.
01:03:35
[Applause]
01:03:38
for solutions here
01:03:42
and the difficulty that she has to face
01:03:44
in the trial that awaits her precisely
01:03:48
because she has been a ruler,
01:03:55
the system is going to take it back then
01:04:02
there are a series of very
01:04:03
important provisions in it with the spirit of
01:04:05
justice precisely for example the
01:04:08
mandate to
01:04:10
settle all the debts that I left
01:04:18
thus
01:04:22
the mandate to bury his body in the
01:04:25
Franciscan chapel in Granadas
01:04:34
the mandate to
01:04:39
suppress certain
01:04:41
unjust privileges that I had already
01:04:43
managed to
01:04:44
completely remove
01:04:49
this in relation to the clever cracy that
01:04:51
is loved mainly
01:04:56
even the mandate of debts that
01:04:59
her father Don Juan had left'
01:05:02
[Music]
01:05:03
and that as the
01:05:05
document is a text of public law
01:05:07
that they call mandates that have to do
01:05:10
with the government
01:05:12
things that she intended to fulfill but
01:05:14
that is in the face of the imminence of death
01:05:15
once he cannot finish fulfilling and
01:05:18
the testamentary mandate begins so
01:05:20
that this is so that his
01:05:23
testamentary executors ensure the fulfillment
01:05:25
of these wills
01:05:27
[Music]
01:05:32
testamentary executors towards the
01:05:35
end of the will and in the
01:05:38
first two that he names are don Fernando the
01:05:41
Catholic, her husband, and Cardinal
01:05:44
Cisneros, the Bishop of Toledo,
01:05:54
and well, the other paragraph that says like this, and
01:05:57
first, I entrust my spirit into the
01:05:59
hands of our Lord Jesus Christ,
01:06:02
who redeemed from nothing what I and by his
01:06:05
most precious blood redeemed and placed
01:06:09
for me on the cross entrusted his own into the
01:06:11
hands of his eternal father to whom I
01:06:13
confess and know that I owe everything for
01:06:17
the many and immense
01:06:18
general benefits that he has done to all human lineage and
01:06:22
to me as a small individual of him
01:06:25
and for the many and singular
01:06:28
particular benefits that I am unworthy and a
01:06:31
sinner after her infinite goodness and
01:06:34
ineffable generosity in many ways at
01:06:36
all times I have received and every day
01:06:38
I receive here we have a
01:06:42
fundamental aspect of the virtue of the Castilian queen
01:06:48
equal to manifesting her deep
01:06:50
spirit of faith and love goodbye also
01:06:55
hey love in this recognition of
01:06:59
Jesus Christ as her creator and her redeemer
01:07:04
but also an attitude of profound
01:07:05
humility Greeks but humility not
01:07:08
feigned but true when she
01:07:11
recognizes herself head is a queen
01:07:13
but that she is a queen she is a human creature
01:07:18
[Music]
01:07:19
a daughter of Adam
01:07:20
[Music]
01:07:23
and that is why he says
01:07:27
the sign is recognized with a small
01:07:29
individual of the human lineage
01:07:32
who has received immense benefits from God
01:07:41
because because he deserves them he
01:07:43
has not received them from his infinite goodness and
01:07:46
ineffable wealth because At the same
01:07:50
time that she recognizes herself as a small
01:07:52
individual, she recognizes herself as unworthy and
01:07:55
sinful of the benefits she has
01:07:58
received
01:08:02
[Applause] of
01:08:04
which I know that
01:08:06
my tongue is not enough to tell nor my weak
01:08:09
strength to thank him,
01:08:11
let alone a strong woman before He and there is
01:08:14
talk of his weak strength but it is
01:08:16
precisely
01:08:19
ming and we can expand that no human being
01:08:22
can be strong unless he knows his
01:08:25
weakness his lack of strength because as
01:08:28
I have said strength in the
01:08:30
Christian sense is
01:08:32
living from the grace of God is the
01:08:35
strength of faith of hope of
01:08:37
charity is the strength of humility
01:08:39
root of all moral virtue
01:08:46
which I know that my tongue is not enough to
01:08:48
tell any weak strength to see them
01:08:50
nor even as the least of them deserves to
01:08:53
be I do not have the strength to even thank
01:08:56
Sufficiently you are saying, not all
01:08:58
the benefits that God has given me, I have
01:09:00
the strength to please, to thank God
01:09:02
as it deserves, I
01:09:05
beseech his infinite mercy to
01:09:08
receive my confession of those texts,
01:09:10
benefits and good will, and for
01:09:13
those bowels of his mercy in
01:09:15
which He visited us by being born from above and by
01:09:19
his very holy incarnation in activity and
01:09:21
passion and death and resurrection and
01:09:23
ascension and advent of the
01:09:25
holy spirit for this and for all the others
01:09:27
are very holy mysteries he begs you not to
01:09:30
enter into judgment with his servant but do
01:09:33
with me according to that great mercy
01:09:34
of his and put his death and passion between his
01:09:38
ideal judgment
01:09:41
and if no one before him can justify himself
01:09:43
even less
01:09:44
[Music]
01:09:45
those of us who have to account for great kingdoms and states
01:09:51
here comes the topic of the special
01:09:53
difficulty of the judgment for She does not reign,
01:09:58
and if no one before him can be justified,
01:10:00
even less so, those of us in great kingdoms and
01:10:02
states have to account for
01:10:05
the
01:10:07
very excellent merits of his glorious
01:10:10
mother and of his saints, my
01:10:11
devotees and lawyers, to intervene for me before his clemency.
01:10:15
my devoted and special
01:10:17
patrons and holy lawyers previously
01:10:19
named with the aforementioned
01:10:21
minty Vienna, prince of the
01:10:23
angelic chivalry, the archangel Saint Michael, who
01:10:25
wants my soul to receive and protect and
01:10:27
defend from that beast with a cruel and
01:10:29
ancient serpent that will then want to
01:10:32
swallow me and not I leave it until by the
01:10:34
mercy of our Lord it is
01:10:37
placed in the glory chalk so that it is
01:10:39
paid for and we finish to make
01:10:41
hope the third fundamental theological virtue
01:10:43
in this entire testament
01:10:46
faith appears charity appears and here
01:10:49
firm hope appeared not in what
01:10:52
By the grace of Christ, by the merits
01:10:55
of his passion, his death, his
01:10:57
resurrection, his sensation and the
01:10:59
life of the Holy Spirit, and by the
01:11:01
intercession of the blessed Virgin Mary and
01:11:03
all her saints and devoted patrons,
01:11:07
God will not allow us to go. Let the evil
01:11:11
enemy swallow her soul but rather
01:11:14
take her to the glory for which she was
01:11:15
created.
01:11:19
Here we have an entry into the spirit of
01:11:23
Isabella the Catholic, from which she emanates in
01:11:25
all her works as a queen. You
01:11:28
cannot understand this strong woman.
01:11:31
But from here it is said that she is a woman of
01:11:34
faith, hope and charity.
01:11:45
In the will, the
01:11:47
successor body also appears, to which you have thus hastened
01:11:50
Isabel's prudence, both in the
01:11:52
will and in the codex, the
01:11:54
circumstances will be especially
01:11:55
difficult because
01:12:02
before the testament the firstborn had died,
01:12:05
the infanta Isabel named after her mother
01:12:08
and the prince of Asturias the heir to
01:12:11
the crown who was the prince game
01:12:15
the next the successor girl was the
01:12:17
infanta Doña Juana
01:12:20
in Isabel I already knew
01:12:23
her mental weakness
01:12:29
now Juana was married with
01:12:31
Philip the Beautiful of Hamburg
01:12:35
and Isabel also knew
01:12:38
the difficulty that Philip's personality
01:12:40
entails
01:12:43
in being a consort like hers had been,
01:12:48
respectful of the laws of Castile,
01:12:54
respectful of her authority as queen and
01:12:57
willing to help her
01:13:00
in her enterprises
01:13:01
with all his capacity as ruler
01:13:06
as king of Aragon,
01:13:09
that is, in a spirit of mutual love,
01:13:12
which is greatly highlighted by Visual Fernández,
01:13:16
both in his biography of Isabella the
01:13:18
Catholic and in an article
01:13:23
he wrote that is a comment on the
01:13:24
will of Isabella the Catholic.
01:13:27
It is worth commenting on the treatment
01:13:29
Many Suárez Fernández highlights
01:13:32
the deep love between the two royal consorts.
01:13:37
He disqualifies the idea that it was
01:13:40
a romantic marriage in which such a
01:13:42
thing is not even anachronistic to think that it
01:13:44
is not an agreed upon marriage due to the
01:13:47
political importance that the agreement had,
01:13:52
but he says very bien suárez fernández who
01:13:55
come to esteem and love each other
01:13:56
deeply throughout their
01:13:58
marriage
01:13:59
with an active and authentic deep love
01:14:03
not as true cooperators in the
01:14:06
work of the Christian government of their
01:14:08
lay people
01:14:09
in the case of felipe raised
01:14:11
very different angles
01:14:13
then what he does in
01:14:16
Isabel's will with great caution
01:14:19
is at the same time guaranteeing and respecting
01:14:23
the right of Juana's line of succession,
01:14:26
but warning
01:14:30
that in the event that she did not
01:14:33
want or could not assume her
01:14:37
duties,
01:14:43
not to me as consort but to her father Fernando
01:14:50
in such a way that one notices there is a
01:14:53
profound
01:14:55
intelligence of the circumstances not in
01:14:58
order to respect the rights of all
01:15:00
but at the same time save the cause of
01:15:03
justice and the good of the kingdom
01:15:09
because he also says and puts as
01:15:13
his will that the functions of the Monarchy
01:15:16
must be granted exclusively to
01:15:18
members of the Castilian aristocracy
01:15:20
Campos Felipe came with his entire
01:15:23
foreign court
01:15:25
and this is what Isabel tries to prevent not
01:15:28
that a non-Castilian civil servant occupies
01:15:31
the privileged positions of the
01:15:33
Castilian monarchy
01:15:36
well
01:15:40
there is prudence also
01:15:43
there is no trait of Isabel's strength and
01:15:46
temperance are even proverbial, we
01:15:49
would say I'm going to see if some some
01:15:51
appreciations and these two contemporaries
01:15:53
her two chroniclers practically
01:15:55
contemporaries of Isabel
01:16:01
among whom stand out, for example, the
01:16:04
command of the thumb
01:16:07
or the Italians Marineo Siculus and Peter
01:16:11
Martyr of anglery
01:16:15
these commentators highlight Isabelle
01:16:19
first of all
01:16:21
a stability in iron
01:16:24
and that temperance has two aspects
01:16:27
on the one hand
01:16:30
the
01:16:31
praise with a chaste queen
01:16:34
throughout her life
01:16:38
before being queen and then also
01:16:40
being queen they extraordinarily exalt
01:16:43
her chastity perhaps in contrast to the
01:16:45
quite vicious atmosphere of the reign
01:16:47
of Henry 4,
01:16:50
but the chroniclers emphasize
01:16:53
this notably.
01:16:56
We have heard her speak of the apostle
01:17:01
Pilsen given as a son to the virgin mother.
01:17:08
There is no very high value of
01:17:10
Christianity and the Christian spirit,
01:17:14
but they highlight another aspect. of
01:17:16
temperance and it is her
01:17:20
calmness and her calm in all
01:17:23
situations, even in the most difficult ones, and
01:17:26
above all, when it came to demonstrating, she
01:17:30
never raised her voice, she was never
01:17:34
seen to be upset, she
01:17:37
never lost her temper,
01:17:40
and Spanish is not what
01:17:44
that is in bullfighting. What is called
01:17:47
temperance is that calmness,
01:17:51
what is containment, is not
01:17:55
letting oneself be carried away by any kind of
01:17:58
passion, but rather containing oneself and from that
01:18:02
containment,
01:18:03
thinking, doing, speaking, is a
01:18:08
typically Castilian virtue,
01:18:12
that would be, we would say, not that it is not
01:18:17
temperamental,
01:18:18
but that it is a virtue, that is, it is the result of
01:18:21
an effort to
01:18:24
manage the passions
01:18:29
and to live in the strength of the
01:18:33
exercise of
01:18:35
will to moderate the passions and
01:18:40
not let them disturb or disassociate in
01:18:43
the mind, that is to say, that of this use
01:18:45
that they unbalance it
01:18:48
that they remove it
01:18:49
from his straight path or make him prone to
01:18:54
excesses or disorders or
01:18:58
lack of
01:19:01
balance
01:19:04
and that is a virtue that everyone also highlights
01:19:06
in the Castilian queen,
01:19:13
and there is
01:19:15
also talk of her strength when it comes to,
01:19:19
for example, making authority respected.
01:19:22
recorded in Castile there was all that
01:19:28
intense and passionate defense of
01:19:31
each person's privileges, it
01:19:34
is the other side of the spirit of
01:19:36
justice that announces the games. They say
01:19:38
that
01:19:40
defending one's own right even by force
01:19:43
is a right but this
01:19:47
can easily unbalance given the
01:19:49
selfishness of the master's children
01:19:53
then
01:19:55
face and you know he will see you in
01:19:57
situations like for example the mayor
01:19:59
of some city in the case of Segovia I think if I
01:20:02
remember correctly I tell him that he
01:20:05
cannot enter through the door that he already intends to enter
01:20:07
because that is what he will have to
01:20:09
ask for. permission to the city council to
01:20:12
grant it to her and then Isabel
01:20:15
answers energetically that this is the
01:20:18
queen of Castile and that in the city of
01:20:20
Segovia her life is hers and that she is going to
01:20:21
enter through the door that her will
01:20:24
dictates until she says there is a strength
01:20:26
to make royal authority present
01:20:30
in a context in which it is quite
01:20:32
blurred precisely because of that
01:20:34
spirit of defense of one's own
01:20:35
prerogatives that may have its
01:20:37
healthy side but which also has its vicious aspect
01:20:41
and in the castile in which Isabel stands
01:20:44
and it is to reign that
01:20:46
the vicious aspect is widely
01:20:48
unleashed until reaching the struggles
01:20:50
of aristocratic factions for power
01:20:53
and where
01:20:55
pettiness and selfishness prevail much more than the sense
01:20:57
of justice.
01:21:01
This is also the introduction to what
01:21:03
could be a long exposition but
01:21:06
until Here I am going to arrive with the figure of
01:21:09
Isabel of Castile
01:21:20
to not also eat words but
01:21:22
with views and I am going
01:21:25
to read
01:21:27
a topic that would be for another conference,
01:21:30
but
01:21:31
in the codis kilo
01:21:35
ah
01:21:37
to her testament
01:21:41
Isabel the Catholic'
01:21:46
[Music]
01:21:51
ago special allusion
01:21:57
to the theme
01:21:59
of the lands beyond the ocean sea
01:22:04
that have been discovered and to those who
01:22:07
inhabit them and I said this
01:22:12
regarding the time that the
01:22:18
islands and mainland of the ocean sea
01:22:22
discovered and to be discovered were granted to us by the Holy Apostolic See
01:22:24
Our main intention was here
01:22:36
among their people and
01:22:38
converting them to the terrible Catholic faith and
01:22:41
sending to the islands and mainland
01:22:44
prelates and religious and clerics and other
01:22:47
learned and God-fearing people to
01:22:51
instruct the neighbors and inhabitants of
01:22:53
them in the Catholic faith and teach and
01:22:56
indoctrinate them in good customs and put
01:22:59
due diligence into it as more
01:23:01
fully in the letters of the said
01:23:03
concession is contained here the
01:23:06
theme of the primarily
01:23:10
evangelizing purpose of the conquest of means appears
01:23:13
that is very clear in the will
01:23:17
the well-known of the will, the testament
01:23:19
of twenty-one paragraphs on this matter but the
01:23:20
codex does not expand it with this, that I am
01:23:22
in the center.
01:23:28
Notice that here is a
01:23:30
militant and apostolic date to which the
01:23:32
truth is manifested
01:23:34
that government according to the laws of God gives
01:23:39
rise to the fact that now a protection of
01:23:42
the faith towards peoples who have never
01:23:44
known it yet and therefore to those who
01:23:47
inhabit these islands beyond the
01:23:49
ocean sea or these solid lands beyond
01:23:53
the sea,
01:23:55
what do we have to
01:23:58
transmit to them the light of revealed truth?
01:24:01
light of salvation that comes from
01:24:04
Jesus Christ, that is, faith in the
01:24:07
gospel,
01:24:14
that is why he very affectionately begged the king, my lord,
01:24:18
Fernando
01:24:21
and incarnating the said princess, my daughter,
01:24:25
Doña Juana, and the said prince, her husband,
01:24:29
Don Felipe, to do so
01:24:31
and comply
01:24:34
and that this is their main purpose that this
01:24:38
is their main purpose and that they put
01:24:42
a lot of diligence into it
01:24:45
this is like the king's law it is not understood that they are
01:24:48
saying what is the purpose of
01:24:50
the entire company the main purpose
01:24:57
and they do not even consent to the place
01:24:59
that the neighboring Indians and inhabitants of
01:25:03
the said Indians and main land won
01:25:06
and to be won receive any grievance in
01:25:09
their persons or property.
01:25:11
Here is the spirit of justice, they do not
01:25:16
only require that they be well and fairly
01:25:19
treated and if they have received any grievance,
01:25:22
they remedy and provide for it. so that nothing is
01:25:25
exceeded in anything that by the
01:25:28
apostolic letters of the said concession is
01:25:30
not anointed, signed with the sacred and
01:25:35
mandated
01:25:37
this spirit of justice towards the
01:25:40
natives of the islands and mainland of
01:25:44
the Indies
01:25:47
is something that
01:25:50
Isabel and Fernando applied it even
01:25:53
and with all vigor
01:25:55
with
01:25:57
and the defeated Moriscos in Granadas.
01:26:01
There is an incident that he briefly mentioned
01:26:03
and that is that
01:26:08
love children who are allowed to
01:26:10
withdraw from the conquered kingdom towards
01:26:14
Africa to live under the Islamic government
01:26:19
crown officials who
01:26:21
They accompany them on the journey
01:26:23
until they leave them outside the kingdom of
01:26:26
Castile, they
01:26:27
make them the object of certain injustices, they
01:26:33
plunder us and take away the things
01:26:36
that
01:26:38
Isabel and Fernando are taking, they send justice officials
01:26:43
to appraise these other
01:26:46
officials and execute them for having
01:26:49
committed injustice against those
01:26:52
who had been promised
01:26:54
a guarantee of security to move to
01:26:57
land under Islamic rule
01:26:59
[Music]
01:27:02
what I want to point out with this is that
01:27:04
this mandate to respect people and
01:27:06
property is not a
01:27:09
demagogic word, it is the expression of a
01:27:12
will effective government and doing
01:27:15
justice to the case,
01:27:19
we have presented our first
01:27:21
woman, El Fuerte, who is Isabel the First of
01:27:24
Castile,
01:27:26
we move on
01:27:30
to the second,
01:27:33
Doña Teresa de Ahumada.
01:27:38
Now we move from the queen to the nun,
01:27:40
as you say, for a while,
01:27:45
Carmelite nun.
01:27:48
Now we have to position ourselves. In another
01:27:49
tradition, let
01:27:52
us briefly remember that Teresa
01:27:55
was born into a normal Ávila family.
01:28:02
Her father's family
01:28:06
comes from Jewish converts, the
01:28:09
Cepedas.
01:28:15
Her mother's family is that of the
01:28:20
old Castilian smokers.
01:28:22
She is going to bear precisely
01:28:24
her mother's last name. The presiding Mater Teresa de
01:28:26
Ahumada
01:28:29
y
01:28:32
de Listas in her youth or entering as a
01:28:36
nun at the Convent of the Incarnation of
01:28:39
Ávila Convent of Carmelite Nuns
01:28:45
In this convent she will spend years
01:28:48
years in which
01:28:51
her main effort will be to
01:28:53
develop a life of deep prayer
01:28:57
vigorous will encounter enormous
01:29:00
obstacles, not only the tests of her
01:29:02
physical health but also obstacles of an
01:29:05
emotional and even
01:29:10
religious nature precisely due to the lack of
01:29:15
profound
01:29:18
cetys mo that reigns in the monastery of
01:29:21
the incarnation
01:29:23
and also due to the oversights of some
01:29:25
of her confessors
01:29:32
and in that process Saint Tereza will
01:29:35
discover the vocation to
01:29:37
reform herself.
01:29:41
We are in the 16th century. Constant
01:29:43
right son of Ahumada who lived between 1500
01:29:45
and 15,581.
01:29:49
That spirit of reform,
01:29:52
contemporary with the Council of Trent,
01:29:56
is an extension of the reform in Castile.
01:29:59
which was accessed in the 15th century, let
01:30:01
us understand, it is not a new spirit in
01:30:04
Castile, it is not a spirit that was born from the
01:30:06
council in any way, but it is a
01:30:10
spirit that acquires new nuances
01:30:12
throughout the historical religious process of the
01:30:15
16th century,
01:30:19
new nuances such as
01:30:21
confrontation with Protestantism,
01:30:25
which is a fundamental fact of
01:30:26
Christianity at this time,
01:30:28
not internally in Spain, but in the
01:30:32
Christian world
01:30:35
in Spain, to the outbreak of heresy, but
01:30:38
at least
01:30:41
that is another of the issues that concerns
01:30:43
Isabella the Catholic in her will. I
01:30:46
briefly go back that
01:30:48
The function of the Holy
01:30:50
Inquisition is always respected to eliminate from
01:30:55
these kingdoms of Castile, says Isabel,
01:30:57
all traces of heresy and doctrine
01:31:02
contrary to the Holy Faith,
01:31:05
that spirit of respect for the Holy Faith.
01:31:09
Let us remember that
01:31:11
several cities in the Indies will bear
01:31:14
that name. the holy faith not only
01:31:16
ours holy faith of veracruz there is no
01:31:20
santa fe of bogotá
01:31:22
in new granada
01:31:26
there are various localities that are leaving but
01:31:28
when I say the holy faith I want to express
01:31:31
that sense that the Hispanic Catholicity has that
01:31:33
faith is the root of holiness
01:31:37
and that same thing is something holy because it
01:31:39
communicates us directly with God. It is a
01:31:41
theological virtue. Not altering the faith is doing
01:31:48
enormous harm
01:31:50
to man and to the common good of social life.
01:31:59
Another nuance is in the suffering of
01:32:01
new orders or congregations, for
01:32:03
example the Jesuits.
01:32:05
In that Jones period of incubation of
01:32:09
the reform in the spirit of Santa
01:32:11
Tereza, the
01:32:13
Jesuit fathers who settled in
01:32:15
Ávila in the times of her youth and who
01:32:19
influenced her
01:32:20
deeply in terms of
01:32:24
instilling a deeply
01:32:27
combative spirit in her will be very important. the interior of the spirit in
01:32:30
order to give oneself totally to God
01:32:34
that Jesuit activity of radical
01:32:37
surrender to the Lord
01:32:39
and the fight
01:32:41
against the evil one and his forces
01:32:45
in a chivalric sense that is in
01:32:49
San Ignacio that will climb something
01:32:51
castle
01:32:54
and is also in Santa Teresa of
01:32:56
course
01:33:01
and then comes the entire
01:33:02
reforming company that withdraws with some
01:33:04
nuns from the internment to found a
01:33:07
new reformed community in the convent
01:33:10
of San José
01:33:13
in Avilés, which is the original nucleus
01:33:16
of the entire reform of the
01:33:18
barefoot Carmelites, the barefoot Carmelites and
01:33:20
then the Barefoot Carmelites because the
01:33:24
reform establishes that it begins with the nuns
01:33:25
but also flows back to the rays of the
01:33:28
Carmelite fathers
01:33:32
from the foundation well
01:33:34
after the first monastery of
01:33:36
Carmelite friars in Duruelo,
01:33:41
one of the two original members of
01:33:44
that small barefoot community will be none
01:33:46
other than Friar juan psp say san juan
01:33:50
de la cruz
01:33:53
he
01:33:54
and the entire life of saint teresa
01:33:56
reformer founder of the descalces
01:33:59
carmelita
01:34:01
from the convent of san josé de had
01:34:05
begun to radiate the barefoot carmel
01:34:07
to other towns in spain and well
01:34:09
in those trips of founder that says at the
01:34:11
beginning they do not occupy the entire rest of the
01:34:13
life of Saint Teresa with different phases,
01:34:16
there is a first one, then she is named and
01:34:18
now of the incarnation
01:34:21
a very large and internally revolted community
01:34:26
that did not want the reform in its
01:34:29
majority and
01:34:33
Saint Teresa of Pri now in a
01:34:35
really extremely uncomfortable position
01:34:39
to bring order to the monastery and at the
01:34:42
same time reform it
01:34:46
after the second phase of foundations
01:34:49
there is a turning point in
01:34:51
the crisis of the Discalced Carmelite Fathers
01:34:53
in the imprisonment of Saint
01:34:55
Juan de la Cruz not the Euskal heavy
01:34:59
against the reform among the friars
01:35:05
lawsuit in which the
01:35:08
non-reforming Carmelite order will be extremely
01:35:11
harsh with those who seek reform and
01:35:14
that lawsuit will force the
01:35:16
intervention of King Philip the Second who
01:35:18
will be the one to save the Teresian reform
01:35:21
in the Franks
01:35:23
with their direct intervention
01:35:27
but
01:35:28
for us to locate ourselves in the
01:35:30
historical process simply after that
01:35:32
crisis comes the last phase of founding
01:35:34
nations that culminates with the death of
01:35:37
Santander is the last peace is throughout
01:35:42
this entire process of reforms andrew
01:35:43

01:35:45
suffer his works that are testimonies of
01:35:48
his life and his doctrine the book of
01:35:50

and their poems
01:36:17
and a brief prior technique just as
01:36:20
Isabel belongs to the tradition
01:36:24
of the Castilian monarchy
01:36:29
you have the digestion of a
01:36:30
Carmelite nun and that there is a
01:36:33
Carmelite tradition of course if we do not
01:36:37
briefly remember that the order of
01:36:40
the hermits of Mount Carmel was born at the
01:36:43
end of the 12th century in Palestine' on
01:36:47
Mount Carmel
01:36:48
when Blessed Berthold
01:36:51
and a few companions retired
01:36:55
to Mount Carmel
01:36:58
under
01:37:00
the patriarchal guidance and presence of the
01:37:03
Prophet Lines
01:37:06
retired to Mount Carmel to live
01:37:09
as hermits
01:37:12
a few years later. entry of the 13th century,
01:37:17
Saint Albert Patriarch of Jerusalem
01:37:19
gives them a rule and that is the primitive rule
01:37:23
of the hermits of Mount Carmel. The
01:37:26
Christian reform, like all reforms in
01:37:29
the life of religious communities,
01:37:31
aims to return to the
01:37:35
original primitive vigor of the
01:37:38
founding rule in this case the rule of Saint
01:37:42
Albert
01:37:46
I do not follow this rule
01:37:49
discover things like these it is true
01:37:52
Alberto by the grace of God titled
01:37:54
patriarch of Jerusalem to the beloved
01:37:56
children in Christ Bertoldo and the other
01:37:59
hermits who live under his obedience
01:38:01
of Mount Carmel near the source of
01:38:03
health in the Lord and the blessing of the
01:38:06
Holy Spirit
01:38:08
in many places and through many sorrows the
01:38:10
holy fathers established the
01:38:11
fate of each one, whatever the
01:38:13
order to which he belongs or the way of
01:38:14
religious life he had chosen to serve
01:38:16
in gift of Jesus Christ and serve him
01:38:18
faithfully with a pure heart and a good
01:38:20
conscience, but since you ask us to
01:38:22
make a formula of life appropriate to
01:38:24
your common project and to which
01:38:25
you must be faithful in the future,
01:38:27
we order the first thing that you consider the
01:38:29
worst to be one of you chosen
01:38:31
for this position. by
01:38:33
unanimous consent or of the largest and healthiest part
01:38:35
to which each of the others promises
01:38:37
obedience and can observe the
01:38:39
truth with chastity and
01:38:41
abdication of property be the
01:38:44
three vows of religious life no
01:38:47
and gave me of chastity and then
01:38:52
you can have nines in the deserts or
01:38:54
wherever you want that they have it suitable and
01:38:56
accommodated for the observance of
01:38:57
our religion according to the worst I the
01:38:59
brothers seem convenient
01:39:05
then there are
01:39:07
indications with effect to the
01:39:08
separate cells because they are years
01:39:13
the location of the cell of the Worse,
01:39:17
each one will remain in her cell next to
01:39:19
her, meditating day and night on the law of the
01:39:22
Lord and watching in prayer. If other
01:39:24
just tasks do not occupy her,
01:39:26
prayer is the main thing. Those who know how to pray the
01:39:29
canonical hours with the
01:39:31
Greeks will do them according to the ordinations.
01:39:32
of the holy fathers and the
01:39:34
approved custom of the church, for those who do not
01:39:36
know it, they will say the Lord's Prayer at matins 25 times,
01:39:39
except on Sundays and
01:39:40
solemn holidays during vigils,
01:39:42
we determine that the number be doubled
01:39:44
before the Lord's prayer is said 50 times.
01:39:46
for the uned the
01:39:48
same prayer will be said seven times and as many times
01:39:50
for each of the other hours outside of
01:39:52
the evening services in which
01:39:54
you know, that is, 15 times,
01:39:57
here is the office of life, that
01:40:00
is, those who know Latin
01:40:02
means this no
01:40:08
and the others supply with the rest and a
01:40:11
certain number of father meters
01:40:22
from the festival of the exaltation of the
01:40:25
cross
01:40:26
until the day of the reproduction of
01:40:28
Mr. Aznar there are every day
01:40:31
except Sundays
01:40:33
unless the illness with
01:40:35
bodily weakness watt another just cause
01:40:37
I advise Calero is one because the
01:40:39
entity does not have light or soft, you will have to
01:40:42
eat meat unless it is taken as a
01:40:43
remedy for illness or weakness
01:40:46
and because you frequently have to live
01:40:48
on alms while traveling so as not to be burdensome
01:40:50
here we but Those who host you
01:40:51
will be able to eat outside your homes
01:40:53
the vegetables cooked with the meat and in the
01:40:55
case of sailing you can also take
01:40:57
the meat
01:40:59
more because temptations the life of
01:41:01
man on the beach all those who
01:41:02
want to live their mind in Christ suffer
01:41:05
persecution and the devil your adversary
01:41:08
softens like a roaring lion looking for
01:41:10
someone to devour with all diligence
01:41:12
try to dress or is it for the armor of
01:41:15
god so that you can dress the
01:41:17
snares of the enemy a rule of
01:41:20
deeply ascetic mysticism
01:41:22
spirit of combat and centered on the
01:41:25
life of prayer
01:41:26
separated from the world consecrated
01:41:29
entirely to God in the solitude of the
01:41:31
mountain
01:41:33
this is the Carmelite life in its origin
01:41:38
that's why when you think of Saint Teresa you
01:41:40
don't have to start thinking about
01:41:42
travel in outside activity that's it that's
01:41:46
not her this is primarily the
01:41:50
strong woman who She retreats inside herself
01:41:53
to meet God in prayer.
01:41:58
Going out as a wanderer along the roads
01:42:01
of Castile is a consequence of that. It
01:42:03
is not the central thing in her life. It is not the
01:42:06
main thing in any way. It is nothing more than
01:42:09
a consistent part
01:42:11
that gives her goodbye in fidelity is part of
01:42:14
his ablation of his sacrifice of his
01:42:17
participation in the cross of Christ as
01:42:20
I said at the beginning
01:42:24
and if I have a reformer sauna one has
01:42:26
to be
01:42:27
guided fundamentally by the
01:42:30
constitutions that they give to the
01:42:32
reformed nuns it would be
01:42:34
equivalent to their will
01:42:37
that organization
01:42:40
the barefoot Carmelite nuns
01:42:43
songs
01:42:46
what they tell them how to concretely live
01:42:48
the rule of Saint Albert
01:42:52
and one more thing historically
01:42:55
because I am a solution to what the reform of
01:42:58
Saint Tereza is going to receive on the
01:42:59
Carmelite fathers frames let us remember that
01:43:03
originally there are no Carmelite nuns
01:43:05
is that there is this order of hermits that
01:43:08
emerged in Palestine between the end of the century and the
01:43:11
beginning of the thirteenth
01:43:14
and only of men,
01:43:18
the Carmelite nuns only began to decide
01:43:21
in the middle of the 15th century, in
01:43:26
fact the year following the
01:43:28
birth of Isabella the Catholic in 1452, the
01:43:32
business began to write the second order
01:43:35
of carmel say
01:43:37
carmelite nuns
01:43:40
that when saint teresa begins her
01:43:42
reform
01:43:45
the order
01:43:47
of female carmel is barely a
01:43:52
century old
01:43:58
it is recent god if not but the
01:44:02
carmelite spirit is not originally a
01:44:04
spirit of hermits of male
01:44:07
hermits
01:44:11
if it does not go to the constitutions outside
01:44:13
of the constitutions and what
01:44:16
he spoke of dedicated nuns in the
01:44:20
cloister praising God
01:44:23
in short the constitution chapter 1 of the
01:44:26
order that must be had in spiritual things
01:44:30
matins are said after
01:44:34
nine o'clock
01:44:36
and not before or so after that They cannot
01:44:40
when they have finished spending a quarter of an
01:44:41
hour doing an exam on what they have
01:44:43
spent that day,
01:44:45
this exam will be colored since the mother
01:44:47
prioress will send and read a little a romance
01:44:49
in romance of the mystery that has to be
01:44:51
thought about another day The time spent on this is so
01:44:53
that at
01:44:58
11 o'clock they signal with the bell and
01:44:59
retire to sleep.
01:45:01
This time of examination and prayer they
01:45:04
have everyone together in the choir and no
01:45:06
sister leaves the choir without permission
01:45:07
after it has begun. all services in
01:45:10
the summer they get up at 5 and are
01:45:12
in prayer until 6 in the winter at
01:45:14
6 and until 7
01:45:16
the prayer lasts until the
01:45:18
hours are said until it is not
01:45:20
safe if it is not a solemn or holy day
01:45:23
that the sisters have particular
01:45:24
devotion that they will leave nona to sing
01:45:26
before it on
01:45:29
Sundays holidays
01:45:31
mass and vespers and matins are sung the
01:45:33
first days of Easter other days of
01:45:35
solemnity they will be able to sing lauds
01:45:37
especially on the day of the glorious Saint Joseph
01:45:40
the song will never be a point but in
01:45:42
equal tone of voices everything is usually
01:45:44
prayed and also the mass that the
01:45:46
Lord will serve that there is some time left
01:45:48
to earn what is necessary
01:45:52
and so it continues
01:45:55
it will be every Sunday and holidays and
01:45:57
days of our lord and our lord is
01:45:58
of our parents San Alberto de San
01:46:00
José and on other days that the confessor
01:46:01
seems in accordance with the devotion and
01:46:04
spirit of the sisters with the license of
01:46:06
Mother Piedra, they will
01:46:07
also take communion on the day of the
01:46:09
education of the house
01:46:11
[Music]
01:46:13
a little before eating to play examination
01:46:16
of what they have done until now and
01:46:17
the greatest fault they come in if
01:46:18
they propose to amend it and say a
01:46:21
pater noster so that God will give them grace
01:46:23
for it each one where they were without
01:46:25
kneeling and do their examination briefly
01:46:29
I invite you to study the
01:46:31
consciences of the Carmelites, but here we
01:46:34
must find the core of
01:46:36
Saint Teresa's personality,
01:46:41
not the external activity.
01:46:43
This is the heart of her life.
01:47:01
In the work titled Path of Perfection, we
01:47:11
read
01:47:22
the following
01:47:34
at the beginning of the hour.
01:47:41
I plan to give some remedies for the
01:47:44
temptations of nuns and the attempt
01:47:46
I had to find this house said that
01:47:48
it was with the perfection that the
01:47:50
being of our very
01:47:52
constitution is left behind and the Lord would give me the most to
01:47:54
understand how he was understanding and
01:47:56
remembering that as no I know what it will be, I
01:47:59
cannot say it with certainty and I think it is
01:48:01
best not to take him because he is so
01:48:03
disconcerted to be so is the Lord
01:48:05
put in everything that I did and in his hands
01:48:07
so that it goes according to his will
01:48:09
because these are my wishes Always, although
01:48:13
the leftovers are as lacking as I wanted,
01:48:19
I know that we lack the love and desire in me
01:48:20
to help in whatever way I could so that
01:48:22
the souls of my sisters go far
01:48:23
forward in the service of the Lord and this
01:48:25
love along with the years and experiences
01:48:28
What I have from some monasteries could
01:48:30
be used to be more accurate in
01:48:33
small things than the lawyers who, because they
01:48:35
have more important occupations and are
01:48:37
strong men, do not pay as much attention to
01:48:39
things that in themselves do not seem at
01:48:41
all to be as weak as we
01:48:43
women are. It can harm all of us because the
01:48:46
subtleties are many of the devil for
01:48:48
the very closed ones that to defeat him it is
01:48:50
necessary to take advantage of new weapons
01:48:52
to harm me as a villain I know how to
01:48:55
defend badly and so it is Carmen you are in
01:48:58
my sisters in me do not throw things that in
01:49:01
me or In others I do not have it by
01:49:03
experience or give it in prayer to
01:49:05
understand by the Lord
01:49:12
of the path of perfection not
01:49:15
all the reforms for that to
01:49:18
develop the life of baptized as
01:49:20
a life of
01:49:22
perfection in order to belong
01:49:26
entirely to God to live in union with
01:49:30
God to reach the most perfect union
01:49:33
possible with him in this world
01:49:37
and that is the path of prayer and
01:49:39
mortification on which Teresa invites
01:49:42
her sisters and tells them about her
01:49:45
experience she says as a skinny woman one hundred
01:49:48
and three how to capture again, the
01:49:49
recognition of weakness is not
01:49:51
true strength because
01:49:53
humility is not God who does works in
01:49:56
it,
01:49:57
whatever it is, you put desire and love,
01:50:02
but the works that come out say how much they
01:50:04
come out of it, as he says,
01:50:08
they are as faulty as I am, he
01:50:12
says.
01:50:14
They are deprived of perfection as it is I
01:50:18
who give them perfection from God who is the one
01:50:22
who makes weakness the strength
01:50:27
of smallness great
01:50:40
just as I associate the figure of Isabella the
01:50:43
Catholic with the theological and
01:50:45
moral virtues I want to associate Saint Teresa
01:50:47
with the
01:50:50
creed
01:50:52
with the central mysteries of faith
01:50:55
the other part of this catechesis science
01:50:58
and I am going to begin with
01:51:00
some passages of Saint Tereza
01:51:03
related
01:51:06
to the Holy Trinity
01:51:09
but
01:51:10
as an introduction I am going to read an
01:51:12
exclamation of Saint Tereza
01:51:18
to those who dare in this line of the path of
01:51:22
perfection in that all the
01:51:24
spirit of reform is inscribed
01:51:30
in the exclamations were published
01:51:32
by a sport fair, says León
01:51:35
and the first of his claims helps
01:51:37
the absence of God,
01:51:39
life
01:51:41
as it can support that being absent
01:51:44
from your life
01:51:46
in so much loneliness worries you employ what you
01:51:50
do because all your works are
01:51:51
imperfect and faults that console you,
01:51:54
my soul in this stormy sea, I
01:51:57
have pity for myself and greater than the time
01:52:01
that I did not live hurt,
01:52:03
oh lord, your paths are gentle,
01:52:06
but whoever walks without fear, we must
01:52:09
be without serving you and when I am going to
01:52:11
serve you our thing that satisfies me
01:52:14
to pay something of what I owe, it seems
01:52:17
that I wanted to spend everything on this and
01:52:19
when I carefully considered my misery I see that
01:52:21
I cannot do anything that is good if
01:52:23
you do not give it to me
01:52:25
oh my God, my mercy, what will I do so
01:52:28
that Let me not undo the great things that
01:52:30
you do to me, your works are
01:52:33
holy, they are just, they are of inestimable
01:52:35
value and with great wisdom because it gives the same
01:52:38
softpaws gentlemen without necessary without it
01:52:41
my understanding takes care of complaints of the
01:52:43
will because I would like no one to be
01:52:45
stubborn and love you because no can
01:52:47
understand in such great greatnesses
01:52:49
reach who is their god and desires to
01:52:51
enjoy it and does not see how put in prison as
01:52:53
painful as this mortality everything
01:52:56
hinders her although first she was helped in the
01:52:59
consideration of our greatness
01:53:00
where my innumerable beauties are better roasted so
01:53:04
that Having said this, my God, to whom do I
01:53:06
complain, who hears me, if not you, father, who
01:53:09
has slept, then to understand my
01:53:11
pain, what need do I have to speak, because
01:53:13
I see so clearly that you are within
01:53:15
me, this is my mistake, oh my God,
01:53:17
how can you know? It is true that I am not
01:53:20
separated from my voice or my life, which makes me
01:53:23
live with so little security of
01:53:25
such important things.
01:53:39
You can get it out by
01:53:41
hoping that it is content in every god,
01:53:43
it is such an uncertain scene of danger
01:53:49
[Music]
01:53:52
but in the face of this deep
01:53:55
inner restlessness that is that of the soul that
01:53:57
is, as she says,
01:54:00
the dear one, not
01:54:02
hurt by the wound of love and
01:54:05
wants nothing more than to live loving to God but he
01:54:08
is not sure that he is doing it
01:54:13
and that is why I feel sorry for myself and
01:54:16
more than the time that I did not live hurt
01:54:21
but in the text the
01:54:24
vigorous certainty that comes from faith appears and here where
01:54:26
we enter the
01:54:30
redeeming creed, merciful and just judge It is
01:54:33
called the third exclamation, which is
01:54:35
all centered on the contemplation
01:54:37
of Christ as redeemer,
01:54:41
considering the glory that you have,
01:54:43
my God, in store for those who persevere in
01:54:45
doing your will and with how much
01:54:46
work and pain your son earned it
01:54:48
and how badly we deserved it and How
01:54:50
much it deserves not to be thanked for
01:54:52
the greatness of love that has
01:54:55
taught us so hard to love, my
01:54:57
soul is greatly afflicted as it is possible,
01:55:00
Lord, forget all this that
01:55:02
mortals are forgotten about you
01:55:04
when they are offended or redemptive measure how
01:55:07
forgotten they forget themselves and that
01:55:10
your goodness is so great that then
01:55:11
you remember our voice and that having
01:55:13
fallen due to wounds the voice of a forgotten mortal blow
01:55:15
this makes us jce to shake
01:55:18
hands and you wake up from such an
01:55:20
incurable frenzy so that we can try and help you Let
01:55:22
us ask for health, Blessed be the Lord,
01:55:25
Blessed be such great mercy and Praise
01:55:27
be forever for those who have been tempted by piety.
01:55:35
Let us begin
01:55:37
by elevating ourselves to the mystery of
01:55:39
activity in Saint Teresa.
01:55:56
Augustine only knows how to say how it was
01:56:00
given to me to understand and almost to see,
01:56:02
but that it was an intellectual thing and that it happened
01:56:05
quickly as the three persons of the
01:56:09
holy trinity that I carry in my
01:56:11
soul sculpted are one thing by
01:56:15
such a strange painting that was given to me. understand
01:56:18
and by a light so clear that it has done a
01:56:21
very different operation that from just
01:56:24
having it by faith I have been left from here to not being
01:56:27
able to think of any of the three
01:56:29
divine persons without understanding that they are
01:56:30
all three in the way that I was and
01:56:35
considering as being so one thing
01:56:39
had taken on human flesh, the son only
01:56:41
gave me the Lord to understand what it is like to
01:56:44
be a thing, as with being a thing, they were
01:56:49
badges,
01:56:50
and he taught me to be, as with being a
01:56:52
thing, they were badges, they are greatnesses that
01:56:56
again said the soul of get out of this
01:56:58
pregnancy that the body makes for new
01:57:00
squirrels that, although it seems, are not for
01:57:03
our lowness, understand something about them
01:57:05
that gives a gain to the soul by passing
01:57:07
at a point without major comparison and with
01:57:10
many years of meditation and without knowing how to
01:57:13
understand,
01:57:15
here it is speaking of a gift of
01:57:17
supposedly mystical infused contemplation
01:57:19
of the mystery of the activity of
01:57:22
which remains a
01:57:24
rigorously supernatural intelligence of the truth
01:57:28
of the three persons who are one and the
01:57:30
same substance with total certainty
01:57:33
but without being
01:57:35
able to explain what the fruit is like. of a
01:57:37
human meditation is the fruit of a gift
01:57:39
of contemplation
01:57:45
in this contemplation the
01:57:48
central domiciles of faith appear that
01:57:49
articulate the entire creed not the trinity
01:57:51
of the verb
01:58:01
another step of solitude is found in the
01:58:03
book of life chapter 39 number 25
01:58:06
being a once praying the psalm of kwik
01:58:09
a bastard that is in the age it is not a
01:58:12
psalm but
01:58:13
the symbol
01:58:15
that dominates so towards what was prayed in
01:58:20
cousins ​​on Sundays
01:58:23
at the prime time all the same thing was
01:58:26
given to me to understand the way
01:58:29
obviously That this is a profession of
01:58:31
faith that begins with a long confession
01:58:34
of the mystery of the triad
01:58:36
is not directly associated with what is
01:58:39
going to be said next.
01:58:41
I understand that once I was using
01:58:43
Quick's psalm, an egg
01:58:45
ok and kunkel, as I said, it was given to me. to
01:58:50
understand the way in which there was only one god
01:58:52
and three people so clearly that they are
01:58:54
scary and just by reading a lot
01:58:57
that made me really take the opportunity to learn
01:59:00
more about the greatness of God and his wonders
01:59:02
and when I think about
01:59:07
or when it comes to that of the Holy
01:59:09
Trinity
01:59:10
it seems I understand
01:59:13
and it is of a lot of context
01:59:17
here again he speaks of a gift of
01:59:19
contemplation that gives him the
01:59:21
profound certainty of that mystery from which
01:59:24
comes joyful consolation
01:59:29
and
01:59:32
terror he says also before the
01:59:34
greatness of the wonders of the being of
01:59:36
God
01:59:38
very well
01:59:42
this presence of the Trinitarian mystery
01:59:44
in the Teresian spirit
01:59:49
then takes us to the ministry of the
01:59:50
incarnation that we have seen alluded to in
01:59:52
the first passage that I read but also in
01:59:54
the second exclamation that I began to
01:59:57
read with the mystery of Christ the redeemer,
01:59:59
true God and true man, but
02:00:02
here
02:00:03
I am going to introduce them as reading a
02:00:05
poem by Saint Teresa that refers to the
02:00:08
birth of the redeemer and says like this
02:00:11
today a sag comes to redeem
02:00:14
our relative hill who is omnipotent god that is why
02:00:20
satan has not taken us out of prison more file of blas and
02:00:22
mint and deferential or that God is omnipotent,
02:00:26
well, yes, he is God, what it is like to come, no, and he dies
02:00:29
crucified. You don't see that he killed sin,
02:00:32
suffering the innocent Gil, who is God,
02:00:34
omnipotent.
02:00:42
So poor people, you don't see that he is
02:00:46
omnipotent, stop asking
02:00:48
those questions, let's try to
02:00:51
serve him and then he comes to die, let's die
02:00:55
with the sun, then the
02:00:57
omnipotents
02:00:59
will notice how in this beautiful poem, with
02:01:01
a simplicity typical of the music of
02:01:05
Castilian popular music,
02:01:09
you can be a poetry to sing it yes
02:01:14
it is a song of the Castilian popular faith
02:01:19
made in the form of a dialogue it has been
02:01:21
noted not a dialogue
02:01:28
in which the named interlocutor is
02:01:31
called gil and the Castilian form of
02:01:33
exile
02:01:36
a
02:01:39
common man and if it is cool Castile that the
02:01:40
time
02:01:42
because if we said Juan
02:01:48
that's the name of anyone
02:01:52
yes
02:01:55
and this gil seems strange
02:01:58
to the reality of being told that the one
02:02:02
who is there that child is a song of the
02:02:06
nativity this that the newborn child
02:02:08
is god and the answer In the
02:02:11
chorus with which he responds, he
02:02:13
alludes to the fact that divine omnipotence
02:02:17
is omnipotent God
02:02:19
because if this is not noted, there is this
02:02:24
counterpoint that in the poem
02:02:27
the background of faith of the non-
02:02:41
human poem like us is not understood. Phil is
02:02:44
omnipotent God. There is the mystery of the
02:02:46
true divinity and the true
02:02:49
humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ has
02:02:51
said very simply today
02:02:53
a boy our relative
02:02:56
Hill comes to redeem us who is omnipotent God and these
02:02:59
begin Hill's questions that is why he
02:03:02
has taken us out as precious a
02:03:05
impotent from prison to sad as that is, he
02:03:08
has freed us from the prison in which satan
02:03:10
had not, he has freed us from the power of the
02:03:12
bari
02:03:13
of sin and death
02:03:17
more file of blas and menga and
02:03:20
injuries let us remember the genealogy
02:03:24
of the Lord in the gospel of Mateo and
02:03:27
how Mateo strives to present
02:03:30
blas amen gaiás east in technology
02:03:32
that is to say he even makes certain women appear
02:03:36
outside the people of God
02:03:41
who are placed there
02:03:44
what
02:03:46
xesús to our relative as Saint
02:03:49
Teresa says'
02:03:55
mentions the geology ruth the view
02:04:00
mentions
02:04:04
to the wife of Uriah,
02:04:09
from whom David had Salomao,
02:04:15
that is to say, he is there
02:04:17
alluding to the very serious sin
02:04:20
of David and the gray woman,
02:04:31
the relative of Blas and Menga, excellent
02:04:35
or who is an omnipotent god and good gil,
02:04:39
but if he is a god, how is he sold? and very
02:04:42
may crucified now comes the other
02:04:45
scandal no Christ crucified is a
02:04:49
scandal for the Jews
02:04:52
invisibility for the Greeks no
02:04:56
if he is omnipotent God asks field
02:05:00
how he is sold and dies crucified
02:05:05
and answers
02:05:07
from the interlocutor don't you
02:05:11
see that he killed sin
02:05:13
suffering the innocent
02:05:16
hill precious and powerful that is to say like
02:05:20
the one who was sold and died crucified
02:05:22
is that he climbed the cross to kill
02:05:24
sin he is saying don't you see that
02:05:26
God is omnipotent
02:05:29
my faith has only been good and a very beautiful
02:05:32
saga the
02:05:33
question
02:05:35
as has wanted to be with such poor
02:05:38
people
02:05:41
comes to mind and right now and
02:05:44
obviously any image of the manger
02:05:50
the answer is, don't you see that he is
02:05:53
omnipotent,
02:05:56
the shelf for people
02:06:01
does not take away one iota of his divinity
02:06:05
because it does not depend on any human force,
02:06:07
it is omnipotence. What appears is not
02:06:11
strength, don't
02:06:14
look at what
02:06:17
health and at the beginning of this conference
02:06:18
the magnificat no
02:06:22
and there it is said that God dates and power
02:06:25
brack I go up
02:06:26
disperses 20 super you short that is to say
02:06:32
he displayed the power of his arm no
02:06:36
how are they translated in Spanish
02:06:38
His voice was enhanced and as he says very well,
02:06:41
different birds symbolize the names
02:06:43
of Christ, the arm of God, it is a name of
02:06:47
Christ, he is the 11th because he is the one who
02:06:51
executes the will of God in the end, he is
02:06:55
the right hand of the almighty
02:06:59
and [Music] It
02:07:00
is
02:07:03
the sovereign force of his omnipotence
02:07:05
made flesh
02:07:08
and there is the mystery of Christianity.
02:07:10
The mystery of being Christian
02:07:17
in the case of Saint Teresa is manifested
02:07:21
in her stripping herself of everything that
02:07:25
the world considers strong
02:07:28
because the Carmelite reform of the
02:07:30
descalces implies living of
02:07:34
perfectly good alms, no longer having
02:07:37
any personal possessions,
02:07:38
abstaining from all aspects of social life,
02:07:43
living cloistered,
02:07:45
dedicating everything to collaboration and
02:07:48
domestic chores
02:07:51
to achieve a spirit of humility and
02:07:53
mortification
02:07:57
in solitude before God,
02:08:02
one is giving up everything that the
02:08:03
world considers strong of all
02:08:06
the means of worldly power
02:08:08
[Music]
02:08:11
and that
02:08:14
makes her a strong woman in the
02:08:15
Christian sense of course with that
02:08:17
fruitful force of grace by which she
02:08:21
becomes the mother
02:08:23
of many and of many throughout the ages. For
02:08:26
centuries
02:08:29
there are the wonders that God unfolds
02:08:30
with his arm because there is
02:08:32
involved the strength of the right hand of God,
02:08:35
who is Christ Jesus our Lord, a
02:08:39
relative
02:08:41
of Mint and different, being God
02:08:44
omnipotent,
02:08:47
leave those questions behind, now he says
02:08:49
Hill, let's not
02:08:51
look to serve him. Let
02:08:54
us serve those questions, let us not stop
02:08:57
asking internal questions and
02:09:02
then we come to die very pure with the
02:09:05
torrent because God is omnipotent and here
02:09:09
is the material spirit of the Carmelite reform
02:09:13
that died the world is dying it is a
02:09:17
death a martyrdom
02:09:19
and communist death theresa In some passages
02:09:21
of his writings
02:09:25
it is a hammer that requires much more
02:09:27
strength, sometimes the hammer creates
02:09:30
another next very prolonged daily hammer
02:09:33
that can last years and
02:09:36
years past,
02:09:40
it is a permanent constant hammer, a
02:09:46
prolonged martyrdom,
02:09:52
trinity, incarnation,
02:09:56
we have the basis, the structure of the creed,
02:09:59
yes. but in Saint Teresa also appears
02:10:02
faith in the Holy Church,
02:10:03
the Holy Spirit, which is obviously
02:10:07
Trinitarian but thinking that it dwells in
02:10:09
the Holy
02:10:11
Catholic Church. Saint Teresa in this is
02:10:14
very clear,
02:10:21
one of the nuances that are introduced in
02:10:23
the reformism of the 16th century is in
02:10:25
relationship with Lutheranism not with
02:10:27
Protestantism in general and Saint Teresa
02:10:29
speaks of the need for Artest year
02:10:32
in the face of the errors of the heretics
02:10:34
who profane the mysteries
02:10:45
in the church
02:10:49
and in the face of that since she offers prayer
02:10:51
and penance which is the only What
02:10:55
can you offer? I
02:10:56
cannot pretend to be a doctor because the
02:10:58
apostle Paul has forbidden us
02:11:01
women to teach ourselves,
02:11:03
but I left my littleness and I can do
02:11:05
what I can and that is to pray and do
02:11:08
penance for the salvation of all
02:11:10
men and for the conversion of That is the
02:11:15
deeply Catholic spirit of Saint Teresa
02:11:20
and deeply strong
02:11:24
she says that there is a
02:11:26
deep respect for the word of God and for the
02:11:28
position that corresponds to her as a woman, she does
02:11:30
not pretend that we are anything else, she is strong
02:11:34
being a woman,
02:11:36
it is clear, let's go,
02:11:38
we
02:11:42
could prolong this. there is all the
02:11:45
sacramental faith and submitting these constants
02:11:47
the written above all in the eucharistic faith
02:11:56
missionary spirit but not because it is to
02:11:59
function as a missionary but because it knows
02:12:01
in this delivery
02:12:04
goodbye in prayer for the union with God
02:12:07
and the perfection of the soul from
02:12:09
life interior
02:12:12
path
02:12:15
cooperate with Christ crucified
02:12:18
that is to say cooperate with the redemption of the
02:12:21
world
02:12:23
and then his brothers came the
02:12:25
Indians
02:12:27
one went to Peru
02:12:30
and went to Ecuador as well and the other came
02:12:32
directly to the Río de la Plata
02:12:37
there is also a continuity of the two
02:12:38
holy figures Teresa, in continuity with
02:12:42
that projection of the faith of Castile in
02:12:45
the lands of the Indians,
02:12:48
in our lands,
02:12:51
Hispanic America,
02:13:01
I am going to end with
02:13:03
the reading of another poem by Saint Teresa.
02:13:15
This state of maintaining throughout
02:13:16
the entire conference is that nuance that
02:13:19
I said
02:13:20
catechetical
02:13:22
and anti-modernist
02:13:28
and at the same time the concept of a
02:13:30
strong woman who has in Mary the most
02:13:32
blessed type
02:13:33
because she is the strong woman of the
02:13:36
gospel
02:13:38
par excellence,
02:13:41
the holy virgin mother of God
02:13:45
and the cause of her strength is carried by her
02:13:49
as a mother in her arms. because that
02:13:51
cause is Christ Jesus our Lord,
02:13:55
that is why I am going to end with a poem by
02:14:00
Saint Teresa,
02:14:03
which is an invitation that she addresses to
02:14:06
all of us
02:14:11
and that we in turn
02:14:12
can take charge of to address to
02:14:15
ourselves and to others
02:14:18
in
02:14:19
and I think this is good for us in a
02:14:21
world that is
02:14:23
darkened in so many different ways,
02:14:25
but Saint Therese's world
02:14:27
was also dark, there were storms of different
02:14:30
kinds,
02:14:34
and Saint Teresa opens up a path of
02:14:35
response for us, which is the path of
02:14:38
perfection through prayer.
02:14:42
through mortification
02:14:43
[Music]
02:14:44
through penance through loneliness
02:14:48
but all that is sterile if not united to the
02:14:51
grace of Christ that grace of the
02:14:53
holy spirit that is possible at the beginning of his
02:14:55
letters
02:14:56
be with you the grace of the holy spirit
02:14:59
be addressed someone is addressed the grace
02:15:01
of the holy spirit
02:15:03
in that grace we receive this invitation
02:15:05
of three on the cross is life and
02:15:09
consolation and those are waves the way to
02:15:12
heaven on the cross is the lord of
02:15:14
zinc and earth and to enjoy much peace
02:15:17
even if there is war all the evils of
02:15:20
earth on this soil and that alone is the
02:15:22
way to heaven of the cross and
02:15:25
his beloved wife who is a
02:15:27
precious palm where his life
02:15:29
and its fruit have been known to God from heaven
02:15:32
and that alone is the The path to heaven
02:15:35
is a precious olive, the holy cross that
02:15:38
you consulted 20 years ago is not together and gives us light,
02:15:41
my soul takes the cross with great consolation
02:15:43
that it alone is the path, heaven is the
02:15:46
cross, the green and desired tree of the
02:15:49
wife that is its shadow. He has sat down to
02:15:51
enjoy his beloved and the king of heaven and
02:15:54
that alone is the way to heaven the
02:15:57
soul that God is completely surrendered and very
02:15:59
truly detached from the world the cross the
02:16:02
tree of life and consolation and a
02:16:04
delightful path they saw After he placed himself on the
02:16:07
Savior's cross, on the cross there is
02:16:10
glory and honor and in suffering pain,
02:16:13
life and consolation and the surest path
02:16:16
to heaven
02:16:18
in the name of the father and the son and the
02:16:21
holy spirit, thank you very much

02:16:45

02:16:50
moment
02:16:52
share this moment
02:16:53
thinking about these two great
02:16:57
Hispanic women in these two great
02:17:03
strong women and great strong women who have
02:17:08
really made a dent and have made a
02:17:12
dent in our
02:17:15
Hispanic Catholic culture.
02:17:19
We are going to try to
02:17:22
communicate with dear professor

02:17:59
year it renews me in the joy of
02:18:02
sharing the faith with you.
02:18:06
Well, we don't thank you. The grateful ones
02:18:09
are us, Professor, and I want to say,
02:18:13
first of all, thank you for this effort,
02:18:17
knowing that there is a
02:18:19
technical problem and fear
02:18:22
that the exhibition will be cut.
02:18:25
this enormous job of
02:18:29
recording it and sending it on time so that we
02:18:33
can reproduce it, so first of all,
02:18:36
thank you, professor, for this effort

been watching this conference live and
02:20:19
who do not stop
02:20:22
thanking us here from the USA tell us that he
02:20:26
has earned a disciple and that in the
02:20:31
last poem
02:20:34
the poems he read
02:20:38
by Santa Tereza, professor, made his skin crawl, really magnificent, so
02:20:41
We take advantage of the fact that you are present
02:20:44
to ask, although you have already said something in
02:20:48
the conference, but to ask you for bibliography,
02:20:53
bibliography that you consider
02:20:55
appropriate to introduce us to both the
02:20:59
life of Isabella the Catholic and the
02:21:02
life of
02:21:04
Saint Teresa of Ávila. Well, we take advantage of it
02:21:08
because you are greeting us from
02:21:10
Valencia. Spain teachers and who also
02:21:13
leave you greetings, what bibliography would the
02:21:17
teacher recommend to us to delve
02:21:20
into the lives of these two strong
02:21:23
Hispanic women who do us so much good
02:21:27
to know them and of course delve into
02:21:30
them
02:21:32
well for Isabel the Catholic
02:21:36
three books are mentioned in the conference
02:21:38
that They seem fundamental to me, I
02:21:39
repeat, one is the biography of Isabella
02:21:44
the Catholic by Walls,
02:21:48
an important English-speaking Hispanist,
02:21:52
it is a work that is the
02:21:56
oldest of the three that I mentioned,
02:22:00
but it presents an
02:22:05
enthusiastic profile of Queen Isabella and is well
02:22:09
founded in the historical facts
02:22:13
the second book that I mentioned that I repeat
02:22:16
now is isabel the catholic' by tarcísio
02:22:19
de azcona this is a
02:22:23
much more difficult work to read because
02:22:26
it is a denser practical joke as very
02:22:31
healthy
02:22:34
opts and a lot of jong documentation for the
02:22:38
study of life and of the events of the
02:22:42
reign of Isabella the Catholic
02:22:44
is another type of book in the first
02:22:47
biography it is more literary it can be read
02:22:49
more easily as an introduction it is
02:22:51
much better than this second work of art
02:22:54
mentioning that it would be more to
02:22:56
deepen the precise detailed knowledge
02:22:58
of the facts
02:23:03
and taking into account, as in any
02:23:05
historiographic work, that the judgments given by
02:23:07
the author are not
02:23:11
an
02:23:13
absolute truth, that is, the author makes
02:23:16
value judgments of water, appreciates certain
02:23:18
certain facts or circumstances according to his
02:23:21
own perspective, but the work of
02:23:23
azcona exercises It is invaluable
02:23:25
above all for the documentary arsenal that
02:23:27
it handles and the precision with which it discusses
02:23:30
each fact to document it
02:23:34
and the third work that I mentioned is being
02:23:37
done again, there will not be much more readable than
02:23:39
this second one, which is easier to read and
02:23:43
is by one of the best historians
02:23:45
of the period, the vital thing is the Catholic that
02:23:48
has existed in the 20th century, which is Don Luís
02:23:50
Suárez Fernández
02:23:51
Don Isaac Suárez Fernández who has been
02:23:54
rector of the
02:23:57
University of Valladolid for many years
02:24:01
and is now more than 90 years old,
02:24:06
a man of venerable venerable
02:24:09
old age because he is a wise man who
02:24:13
has matured
02:24:16
in the love of the truth he
02:24:20
is always a great Catholic historian or Luisa
02:24:24
de Fernández and in this book that I
02:24:26
mentioned Isabel the Catholic to the queen
02:24:29
he makes a synthesis of many
02:24:33
previous studies Suárez Fernández He wrote the
02:24:38
volume that covers
02:24:40
Catholics in the history of a very good history
02:24:44
of Spain, a very good general history of Spain
02:24:46
that was published
02:24:49
between 3 and 4 years ago, let's say, and because
02:24:54
Isabella's Catholic century is the
02:24:56
present century, that is, the 14 14 and 15 of the
02:24:59
history of Spain are his specialty and
02:25:00
one of his first works is a
02:25:04
magnificent study of the reign of John the
02:25:07
First of Castile, which is the reign in
02:25:10
which the Castilian navy emerges with substance,
02:25:14
which will be the naval stronghold of
02:25:18
France. in the 100 years war
02:25:20
precisely
02:25:22
because france did not have a large fleet
02:25:24
in the atlantic and the fleet was going to be
02:25:26
lent to her by her ally who is castilla
02:25:33
luisa fernandez also has crystals
02:25:35
in some of the first works of vines
02:25:37
since she has a series of very
02:25:39
important studies on the reign of the
02:25:41
Catholic kings
02:25:44
and as I say in that general history of
02:25:46
Spain he writes the volume dedicated to the
02:25:47
Catholics and that can also be
02:25:50
searched and studied in a
02:25:54
more general approach let's say that it does not make the
02:25:55
personality of Elizabeth But he gives us the
02:25:58
historical framework of his life and his reign
02:26:01
in
02:26:03
this other book that he mentioned, it is already a
02:26:06
biography of the queen and a profile
02:26:09
of the spiritual of Isabel the Catholic.
02:26:13
He also has a very
02:26:15
beautiful article on
02:26:18
the will of Isabel the Catholic. that
02:26:20
can be found on the internet
02:26:23
is an article by Luis Suárez Fernández
02:26:25
about the will, if you search for the
02:26:27
will of Isabel la Católica,
02:26:29
the article on
02:26:31
criminal visuals will appear immediately, which can be read or
02:26:33
downloaded in full from the Internet.
02:26:38
Thank you, professor, for the information because it is
02:26:42
interesting. being able to have more or
02:26:44
less easy access at least to that document does
02:26:47
not make an article the
02:26:50
lamb more yes tell me professor
02:26:55
regarding Saint Teresa
02:26:59
I think the best thing is to read Saint
02:27:02
Teresa
02:27:04
more than things about that
02:27:07
because we have her work it
02:27:10
seems to me that It is better to read it
02:27:13
because even for the knowledge of
02:27:15
her life we ​​have her autobiographical writings,
02:27:17
of course there are works about Saint
02:27:20
Teresa from the
02:27:23
biography that already at the end of the 16th century
02:27:27
was composed by an
02:27:31
illustrious Hieronymite friars called
02:27:33
Diego de Sepes, which is the first life of
02:27:36
Saint teresa broad complete of the life
02:27:39
of mother teresa of jesus and it is called
02:27:43
that is an ancient biography that
02:27:44
can be continued reading with great benefit
02:27:46
it is the first great biography about saint
02:27:49
teresa'
02:27:50
there is a an outline of liberation he began
02:27:54
to write the biology of sandler that
02:27:55
also in 16 countries león but he did not
02:27:58
manage to finish it
02:28:00
there are some fragments
02:28:01
of the life of saint teresa de trainees
02:28:04
but as a
02:28:08
more recent biographical sketch I recommend the one
02:28:11
at the beginning of the volume of
02:28:13
complete works when selling this one about the cow
02:28:16
and the introduction and this
02:28:19
biographical introduction and the notes of the volume
02:28:21
are carried out by two Carmelite fathers,
02:28:24
one with shoes on, which is obviously staying, and one
02:28:28
with bare feet, which is the train of the mother of
02:28:30
God, and the two are responsible for
02:28:33
a scheme, a biographical summary, which
02:28:35
is very well done and a chronology of
02:28:37
the life of Saint Teresa that allows us
02:28:39
to locate ourselves later with precision when
02:28:42
one goes on to read her
02:28:43
autobiographical writings that are basically a
02:28:46
book of life and foundations
02:28:50
with the two works and iniesta the drummer
02:28:54
presents us with his activity and its
02:28:58
fundamental data because its exterior and interior life,
02:29:02
yes,
02:29:04
we also wanted to tell you that
02:29:08
if you enter our blog in the
02:29:12
coming week there will be an article about
02:29:15
Isabel the Catholic and one about Saint
02:29:19
Teresa of Ávila, also some more
02:29:22
dissemination, not so much about study but that
02:29:25
can help to have a profile,
02:29:28
good professor, here they also send you greetings
02:29:30
from the province of Santa Fe
02:29:33
that you named the conference and
02:29:37
because of the Santa Fe
02:29:40
in Santa Fe de la Veracruz
02:29:45
we know that
02:29:47
Isabella Catholic is a
02:29:50
servant of God and that she opened a
02:29:53
cause
02:29:55
precisely
02:29:57
to investigate his
02:30:00
holiness, not his virtues, the
02:30:05
heroic way of living that virtue, these
02:30:08
and there is a bit of controversy
02:30:13
regarding this cause. Do you know what
02:30:17
situation this
02:30:20
investigation is in, professor, or could you give us
02:30:24
a look at the current situation of
02:30:27
the cause? of beatification or
02:30:30
canonization of Queen Elizabeth
02:30:35
without giving precise recent data, I do not
02:30:38
have it, but what I can tell you is
02:30:41
that
02:30:42
the cause is being
02:30:44
carried out by the archdiocese of
02:30:48
Valladolid
02:30:51
and
02:30:54
over the time since the
02:30:56
introduction of the cause it has had
02:30:58
different attorneys the cause of
02:31:00
course
02:31:02
and they have been
02:31:04
progressively appointed by the different
02:31:06
archbishops of Valladolid
02:31:09
but from the point of view of its
02:31:11
effects the cause has been stagnant since the
02:31:14
year 76 74 65 so what
02:31:20
remains
02:31:22
with the
02:31:24
approval of the position regarding Her
02:31:26
virtues are
02:31:29
recognized as a servant of God.
02:31:33
Obviously, the next formal canonical steps
02:31:35
would be the beatification and
02:31:38
canonization
02:31:39
of
02:31:41
these. I have no news if she is
02:31:44
prospering. If she is not prospering, but
02:31:47
as you say, it is a controversial case.
02:31:50
I believe that, unfortunately, for reasons beyond my control.
02:31:53
to faith
02:31:55
and therefore to true holiness
02:31:59
and
02:32:00
that has happened in history with
02:32:03
various causes of beatification.
02:32:05
If one studies the history of
02:32:07
canonizations
02:32:08
one sees that some have been very, very
02:32:12
fast, as in their process, others not
02:32:15
so much
02:32:18
and others have remained stagnant in some
02:32:20
almost indefinite way over the
02:32:22
centuries, including due to various
02:32:25
difficulties,
02:32:29
but in the case of Isabel the Catholic,
02:32:33
the difficulties have
02:32:35
mainly to do with
02:32:39
arguments that must be seen if they are
02:32:41
arguments, they are rather tricks that
02:32:43
try to distort the figure of Isabella
02:32:46
the Catholic or removing her profile of
02:32:50
authentic Christian holiness,
02:32:53
of course in today's ideological context,
02:32:54
the issue that arises as the
02:32:58
first or main objection is
02:33:03
that of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain,
02:33:07
a topic that when one
02:33:09
objectively studies one notices That far from being
02:33:13
a problem of racial or
02:33:18
religious persecution, it is a fundamental problem of
02:33:21
governmental justice and governmental prudence.
02:33:25
It should be noted that Castile
02:33:29
has a very serious problem in this
02:33:32
matter, such as the
02:33:33
Thursday problem before, which created distortions not
02:33:37
only in life. social but even in
02:33:39
the religious life of Spain it
02:33:44
takes a long time in the expulsion of the
02:33:46
Jews from other kingdoms that had been carried out
02:33:49
centuries before
02:33:51
and it does so for a great
02:33:54
[Music]
02:33:55
let's say parsimony equanimity
02:33:58
prudence
02:34:00
and we must put ourselves in the historical context
02:34:04
and notice to what extent Isabel thus
02:34:10
makes a resolution
02:34:12
typical of a Christian monarch
02:34:17
in order to safeguard the
02:34:20
religious and moral integrity and the religious
02:34:23
and moral unity of her kingdoms.
02:34:30
If she considers the issue
02:34:32
prudently, she could say that it is
02:34:34
opinionable, but in no way does it
02:34:36
imply
02:34:41
recriminatory attitudes in Isabel or lack of
02:34:44
virtue in that is what I consider
02:34:48
unacceptable.
02:34:52
The figure of Isabella the Catholic
02:34:54
is also uncomfortable today in that the
02:35:01
deeply Christian ruler is a model of a Christian ruler and
02:35:04
that also seems to be annoying
02:35:09
because it implies not separating the civil order
02:35:14
and the ordering of civil society
02:35:17
from the faith of the church
02:35:22
to all kinds of secularism of course to
02:35:25
all kinds of doctrine that advocates the
02:35:27
separation of church and state
02:35:30
and we know well that even within the
02:35:32
church there are supporters of that
02:35:34
dissociation
02:35:35
in a way such that there are two obstacles not
02:35:38
only coming from outside as criticisms that
02:35:40
usually about a possible high or saint
02:35:44
but also from within or
02:35:47
internal resistances that are seen, I think, to the fact
02:35:50
that she is a Catholic who governs
02:35:55
as a case and is not Isabella the Seriously Catholic,
02:35:59
she is the Catholic queen and she is not a
02:36:02
person who is a ruler on the one hand and
02:36:05
Catholic on the other in a kind of
02:36:07
duality.
02:36:09
I am of the opinion that there is
02:36:12
no unity or foundation
02:36:15
in reality for
02:36:17
the Sava professor when you explained
02:36:22
How good it would be to remember what
02:36:25
you said at the conference where you noted
02:36:28
some things
02:36:30
regarding the figure of Elizabeth, reigning and
02:36:33
serving God and providing for the common good of
02:36:36
all men,
02:36:38
remembering this, remembering that altering the faith
02:36:42
is doing enormous harm to the man and to the
02:36:45
common good of social life this that
02:36:48
you are no longer a Catholic ruler
02:36:52
and for the same reason it can become
02:36:53
very uncomfortable
02:36:56
is hospitals nor did they read in the
02:36:59
games of Alfonso the wise saying are
02:37:01
constitutional laws of the
02:37:04
Castilian monarchy and law and of our and
02:37:08
our Indian kingdoms while
02:37:10
they were kingdoms of the Hispanic monarchy
02:37:11
also because it was
02:37:13
the fair game and the games will be the
02:37:15
basis of our legislation
02:37:19
so it was not until the constitution of
02:37:23
1853 I remember and they
02:37:27
continued to be the machine
02:37:30
exactly like that
02:37:34
professor then two last questions
02:37:39
one about Saint Teresa and the last one about
02:37:42
the two that the textbook of Saint
02:37:48
Teresa since it is good to go directly to
02:37:52
the sources and just as you recommended
02:37:54
since we have
02:37:56
the holy laziness because it would be the first
02:37:59
text of her that at the What should we
02:38:03
approach to begin to be
02:38:07
familiar with the writings of Saint
02:38:10
Teresa of Ávila?
02:38:14
It is a very very interesting question but
02:38:18
very difficult to answer. It
02:38:20
is rather to
02:38:23
give a kind of map that serves
02:38:26
as a guide to what the writings of
02:38:28
Santa Empresas and offers certain heights
02:38:31
of income not in this set
02:38:34
as a teacher the writings of Saint
02:38:39
Teresa are not many of the number
02:38:42
and we can divide
02:38:45
or classify them
02:38:47
first in the biographical writings I
02:38:51
already mentioned are the book of life
02:38:55
the foundations
02:38:58
this second in some way a
02:39:00
continuation of the another so that they can be
02:39:02
read as a unit
02:39:06
because in the first she develops the
02:39:09
itinerary of her life until the origin
02:39:11
of the barefoot Carmel and then in the
02:39:13
foundations she develops all her
02:39:15
founding itineraries,
02:39:19
her adventures as founder on the
02:39:22
roads of Castile
02:39:26
[Music]
02:39:29
and certainly complemented Of these two
02:39:31
autobiographical writings are the
02:39:34
very extensive epistolary of Saltaturists
02:39:37
that exceeds 40 of the 400 letters are
02:39:41
440 441 Carter's and
02:39:45
in them there is a lot of biographical data
02:39:47
of course although not only
02:39:49
biographical data but also reflections and
02:39:52
considerations of a doctrinal nature
02:39:59
and other complements. to the
02:40:02
biographical writings are the grave accounts of
02:40:04
concerts that are
02:40:07
a work of Saint Teresa in which
02:40:09
precisely
02:40:10
what it is about is
02:40:14
making accounts in her conscience with her
02:40:17
with her own activity with her own
02:40:20
conduct with her own acts
02:40:24
this orders a first block of two in
02:40:28
this block
02:40:30
the best thing would be to enter through the book of
02:40:32
life which is the primary biographical framework
02:40:35
of the life of Saint Teresa
02:40:38
autobiography in the case of Saint Teresa
02:40:40
we have, as in Saint Augustine, the
02:40:42
privilege that we have a access to his
02:40:45
own biography
02:40:47
provided by him himself who has
02:40:50
lived is an autobiographical access that
02:40:54
is
02:40:56
something that does not occur in many cases and
02:40:59
in the case of Santander essa we have
02:41:00
this is the fungus
02:41:04
the other fundamental block of the works
02:41:07
straightens second It would be the
02:41:09
doctrinal works in which her
02:41:11
doctrine of mystical theology is exposed, as it is
02:41:14
said in her 16th century Spanish, her
02:41:17
popular Spanish, some clarification here
02:41:20
when one begins to read Saint Teresa,
02:41:23
a first problem is the language,
02:41:27
Saint Teresa
02:41:30
writes in colloquial Spanish that
02:41:34
It is Ávila's own in the mid-
02:41:36
16th century
02:41:39
and that causes difficulties for
02:41:41
today's Spanish-speaking reader, who is not a
02:41:44
polished Castilian, a smooth Castilian that is
02:41:48
healthy and easy to read, as is, for
02:41:51
example, San Juan de la Cruz, which
02:41:54
of La Cruz has a
02:41:55
very polished and easy-to-read literary Castilian like the
02:41:59
language, not because of the content, the
02:42:01
content in San Juan de la Cruz is
02:42:02
very extensive and very difficult, but the
02:42:05
language can be understood, but
02:42:07
Santander, these tests of the language,
02:42:10
although even though the content be healthy
02:42:14
and do not offer to its difficulty the
02:42:17
language sometimes offers difficulty
02:42:18
because I insist it uses a language that is
02:42:21
complex for us to Libya
02:42:25
and regulate anfractuosities
02:42:29
pressure that are not the usual ones
02:42:31
today and that you have to get used to there are
02:42:34
editions that modernize the Spanish
02:42:36
of Santa Teresa I only advise them at
02:42:38
all
02:42:44
because
02:42:47
in a classic sentence
02:42:50
the style is the man in some way
02:42:52
it is the person and then it was Santa
02:42:56
Tereza translated into current Spanish
02:42:59
is to lose Santa Teresa to a large extent
02:43:01
even though it offers difficulties at the beginning.
02:43:04
I I think it is worth making
02:43:05
the effort to get used to the
02:43:07
Spanish of Santa Teresa and resort to
02:43:09
notes in a good edition if
02:43:11
the expression presents difficulties
02:43:14
that cannot be overcome,
02:43:17
but the writings I do this because I speak
02:43:20
of the doctrinal writings, which are the
02:43:22
writings of mystical theology to ignore
02:43:24
that path of perfection
02:43:26
dwellings of the inner castle these are
02:43:29
the two fundamental works and a work
02:43:31
much smaller in length but of
02:43:35
invaluable content which is the
02:43:39
meditations on the songs on the
02:43:41
song of songs
02:43:44
these are the three works
02:43:46
fundamentally doctrines of Saint
02:43:47
Tereza now where to start here that
02:43:50
is very difficult my advice today if
02:43:54
you ask me today would be to start with the
02:43:57
mansions because it is the most
02:44:00
ordered and most systematic exposition that has made
02:44:03
so much right of its spiritual doctrine
02:44:06
the path of perfection is a work
02:44:07
also wonderful but it does not have a
02:44:11
systematic order as precise as the
02:44:13
mansions in chapter 2 and the other one, which is
02:44:16
a pamphlet, is a complement to these and
02:44:18
no no no it is not enough to enter so it
02:44:20
also offers the difficulties typical
02:44:22
of a text that is based on the reading of
02:44:24
a work that is part of the sacred
02:44:27
scripture with all the complexity of the
02:44:29
combination of exegesis and its
02:44:31
own doctrine, it does not present one with a company
02:44:35
like that
02:44:36
and after this there is a part of the
02:44:40
truth, that third is the
02:44:43
legislative work of that the constitutions and
02:44:49
2
02:44:52
the barefoot visits, which is a work
02:44:55
in which I did what it does is give
02:44:57
advice to the visitors of the fathers
02:44:59
who had to visit the
02:45:00
convents
02:45:02
to judge about their progress in the
02:45:06
progress of their development of her discipline
02:45:08
of her life and that she writes with
02:45:12
rest visits a series of advice of norms
02:45:15
to do the visit well in accordance
02:45:17
with the constitution is her work as
02:45:20
these two works are her works as a
02:45:23
legislator of the barefoot Carmel
02:45:30
this would be another possibility to enter
02:45:32
But enter through the constitutions that
02:45:35
are, as I said in the conference,
02:45:38
what environs us is the
02:45:40
central concern for the life of Saint Teresa. She
02:45:44
is the founder of the Discalced Carmel. She is
02:45:45
a nun and what worries her
02:45:48
is the ordering of monastic life.
02:45:51
obviously that monastic life is a
02:45:53
path of perception and there is the
02:45:56
content of monastic life is
02:45:59
ordered according to the constitutions that
02:46:01
specify the way to serve the
02:46:04
original rule of Mount Carmel to the solution
02:46:08
also in the conference
02:46:11
and finally the last part What should be
02:46:14
taken into account is the part that
02:46:16
could use the most literary version of the
02:46:18
three version and that is where the poems come in, the
02:46:22
poems with sad functions,
02:46:26
the exclamations, this is a work that would
02:46:29
perhaps be the first thing that had to be
02:46:32
given, it is a short work,
02:46:35
the First of all, the editor and Luis Elevate
02:46:40
may also be that the Castilian of Santander
02:46:42
is there, it is a little retouched and
02:46:43
corrected by Fray Luís, but it is
02:46:47
a
02:46:48
wonderful hand, so there
02:46:50
is no major problem,
02:46:52
souls, the spirit of Saint Teresa is
02:46:54
intact in those texts. and they offer us
02:46:56
these exclamations that have been
02:46:59
composed by them
02:47:01
as meditations and contemplations
02:47:04
after the Eucharistic community.
02:47:08
These exclamations contain what we
02:47:11
can call the core of the
02:47:14
spirituality of Saint Teresa. It
02:47:15
is also a good way to enter into
02:47:17
expressing through the explanations and by the
02:47:20
poems also of course because
02:47:22
poems of the nation and silk notices the
02:47:24
third the notices are small
02:47:26
sentences phrases
02:47:28
in the services of ariza they take up much
02:47:31
less space there are more
02:47:34
the notices
02:47:36
and sentences of spiritual light of San
02:47:39
Juan de la Cruz but they are also very
02:47:42
tasty and very deep, which will be an
02:47:46
overview of the fundamental part,
02:47:51
but
02:47:53
if you have to enter from somewhere, I
02:47:56
would recommend those two entries to
02:47:59
follow one through the exclamations and the
02:48:00
poems, these are not more for those who can
02:48:03
enter from the literary point of view, not from
02:48:06
the spiritual doctrinal now that the
02:48:09
interested party has a spiritual that
02:48:12
begins with the mansions I would say and as
02:48:14
the biography becomes more restless it begins with
02:48:16
the book of life
02:48:17
any of these entries will
02:48:19
take it to the other places to the other
02:48:22
dimensions of the Teresian classroom
02:48:25
well hopefully Hopefully then we can
02:48:28
delve into the work of this great
02:48:31
saint, enormous saint that Hispanicity has given us,
02:48:34
professor, these two figures
02:48:38
and in the last question because
02:48:41
we are already entertaining you a lot with data about
02:48:45
women, sometimes they have been
02:48:48
ideologized
02:48:50
and you spoke at the beginning precisely from
02:48:53
a certain mentality of modernism that
02:48:56
continues today to be a
02:48:59
permanent temptation and a source of
02:49:01
constant loss even
02:49:05
in areas where these two women are
02:49:09
respected and taken into account and today
02:49:13
is Saint George's Day, nothing more and
02:49:16
nothing less than written against this
02:49:19
mentality,
02:49:22
how could we
02:49:25
arm ourselves, confront this
02:49:30
modernist mentality that seems to be the
02:49:33
dominant mentality today even though the
02:49:36
document of Sant Boi 10 is more than
02:49:38
100 years old, but there seems to be or not a
02:49:42
resurgence of the modernist mentality, how do
02:49:46
we arm ourselves? We prepare to
02:49:48
resist the influence of the culture
02:49:54
impregnated with this mentality and resist
02:49:57
from the Catholic faith from the Catholic opera
02:50:05
well first of all
02:50:09
rooting in the faith is the first of
02:50:11
all because obviously
02:50:16
modernism and all the
02:50:20
neo-modernist formulations that have been unleashed since
02:50:23
the second half of the 20th century
02:50:25
until today, which are multiple,
02:50:31
are incompatible with the Catholic faith,
02:50:35
but
02:50:37
as one is rooted in the authentic faith,
02:50:39
the true faith
02:50:45
must distinguish doctrinal paths, of
02:50:49
course, from practical lives, but the
02:50:52
doctrinal act is what I could do.
02:50:54
contribute more
02:50:58
I think it is essential to contact
02:51:02
the source
02:51:05
transmission of energy faith
02:51:10
you said very well just now that
02:51:15
even people who recognize the
02:51:18
importance of Saint Theresa
02:51:23
some perhaps who are
02:51:26
members
02:51:31
either of the first era or of the
02:51:33
state military money barefoot
02:51:37
and who, however,
02:51:41
seem to take the figure of Saint
02:51:44
Teresa in a sense that one could
02:51:46
clearly describe as modern,
02:51:53
one cannot think that these people do not
02:51:54
know the texts of Saint Teresa
02:51:59
and there is a problem saying that one wants to
02:52:02
have contact with the ports one
02:52:10
wants say let yourself be
02:52:14
taught by the sources do not pretend
02:52:20
1 teach the source
02:52:24
what usually happens and you
02:52:26
modernist the pigeon attitude pretends
02:52:28
that human beings and in the case of
02:52:31
Catholic modernism Christians and
02:52:34
Catholics of other centuries were a
02:52:36
kind of
02:52:37
people [ __ ]
02:52:40
and therefore everything they say must be
02:52:42
passed through the sieve of the
02:52:43
modern mentality so that it acquires
02:52:45
validity
02:52:47
and then healthy
02:52:49
are those who teach us
02:52:52
but it is we who
02:52:54
teach them
02:52:59
this is reversing the order authentic of
02:53:03
things,
02:53:07
turning to the source means
02:53:09
letting oneself be taught by the sources.
02:53:13
Obviously, for this we need,
02:53:15
first of all, a faith that we are
02:53:17
in tune with whoever speaks at the source, we
02:53:22
need communion in the holy spirit
02:53:26
that opens our ears and opens our ears. The mind
02:53:30
illuminates our hearts and ignites them
02:53:33
with true quality to be able to hear the
02:53:37
voice of truth that lives in the
02:53:38
sources
02:53:40
and hence the life of prayer is
02:53:43
essential for this, but a life
02:53:45
of prayer united with an intelligence
02:53:46
capable of letting itself teaching by the sources
02:53:50
insist these
02:53:52
letting oneself be taught by the source implies
02:53:55
having an attitude of humility towards
02:53:57
the writings starting with the sacred
02:53:59
scripture
02:54:00
[Music]
02:54:01
but then the teams of the holy
02:54:03
fathers the writings of all the great
02:54:07
masters of local television terol
02:54:13
but the doctors of the church
02:54:17
and hear the
02:54:19
vigor of faith that speaks to us in them.
02:54:22
Those are teachers for us. We
02:54:25
are apprentices, disciples, and to the
02:54:28
extent that we have that attitude of
02:54:30
disciples toward the doors in text,
02:54:32
we can let the light of the
02:54:36
always the same faith always reaches
02:54:39
us
02:54:41
that is a fundamental antidote against
02:54:44
modernism
02:54:47
and another thing that I think is
02:54:50
important that you mention salvio
02:54:52
we say is the reading is very updated
02:54:56
of the encyclical pass that encyclical
02:55:03
today it is not an object of study as It
02:55:05
should be,
02:55:07
it is a fundamental document to
02:55:10
place oneself
02:55:12
on the path of faith in what goes from
02:55:16
the beginning of the 20th to these beginnings of the
02:55:18
20th century. We cannot do without
02:55:21
that magisterial doctrine
02:55:25
because in that encyclical Camps I Tenth
02:55:30
performed a very important task
02:55:34
of synthesizing and systematizing
02:55:37
modernist doctrines, a typical feature of
02:55:40
modernists and neo-modernists
02:55:43
is also the lack of
02:55:47
systematizing, systematizing and
02:55:49
making explicit their two triples
02:55:55
in order to be able to guard against error, one
02:55:57
has money in front of one's eyes and
02:55:59
saying this is unacceptable
02:56:03
while the error but more implicit and
02:56:05
it circulates sinuously through
02:56:07
multiple manifestations but
02:56:08
we do not even know how to formulate what it is,
02:56:11
we cannot even detect it, so we cannot
02:56:14
lose ourselves against error.
02:56:16
Of course, we must be based on
02:56:18
truth, but our intelligence, which is
02:56:20
finite, also needs to combat
02:56:23
error and in that the encyclical de expanded
02:56:25
we say a fundamental starting point
02:56:28
always conservative even
02:56:31
today I am in this conference which is to
02:56:33
unite the commemoration of the broad tenth
02:56:37
that corresponds today to our
02:56:40
day today with the figures of Saint
02:56:43
Teresa Elizabeth the Catholic as
02:56:46
representatives of the faith of 100 miter of
02:56:49
that faith that does not change that no world because
02:56:53
that faith is divine light and God does not change
02:56:56
God does not change
02:56:59

02:58:23
what is right is right although no
02:58:27
one does it
02:58:30
