and a half minutes.

All right.

Let me get into this question.

Here's my question.

Well, actually, here's my statement and question.

The Council documents that we're talking about, and especially this new Nostra Aetate document, many, many two that came out today, right? I mean, these documents were written, and we know this because the authors have told us this themselves, ambiguously.

It was purposefully, purposefully, they were ambiguous.

It's essential.

angel.

Angels are messengers sent by God.

Now, here's the deal.

Probably one of the first things that they teach us or they taught us as children, was that we had a guardian angel.

Probably one of the first prayers that we knew or were taught as a child was, angel of God, my guardian, dear.

Every school child knew that and prayed it daily, whether it be at home or in school.

if you do not believe in angels, I guess we sort of, along the way, thought this was part of childhood folklore.

Oh, my gosh.

Gl- glory to you, Oh Lord.

Glory to you, Oh Lord.

Raising his eyes toward his disciples, Jesus said, "Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours.

Blessed those now hungry, they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are those who weep, for they will laugh.

Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you, and denounce your name as evil on account of the Son of Man.

Rejoice, leap for joy on that day.

Yeah

Yep.

Right? That's, that, that whole mystery of the Messianic secret of Christ, uh, I- I've always found intriguing.

I've always found intriguing.

And I've always found intriguing that the devil has no faith.

Therefore, when he taunts us and criticizes our faith, he has a distinct advantage.

Yeah.

[laughs] He's, he's the father of lies.

He knows all of this.

Yeah.

Well, and it was amazing because, you know, what, what God doesn't give one way, He gives in another way.

This kid, when we had the Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán...

The Mariachi Vargas is the mariachi number one of all of Mexico.

Amen

...

the respect for it, for that name, and everything beautiful and good.

And [laughs] this friend of mine writes, he sends me the card with all of the, with all of the pledge and everything else, and below he, he writes this Remember when the church was against communists rather than run by them?

Sí.

Lo más importante es la fraternidad, es la reunión.

Somos nosotros.

Dense el saludo de paz.

Oh, hola, ¿cómo está? Imagínate, imagínate dejar el cuerpo y sangre de Cristo en el altar para estar saludando a la gente y pasando en frente, etcétera, etcétera.

Yo no haría eso a ningún invitado a mi casa, mucho menos, mu-mucho menos al rey del cielo.

Total, lo que quiero decir es mucho cambió a un plano vert-- eh, horizontal.

Sale un amigo, ahí sale corriendo.

Sí, sí, sí.

Ciertamen-ciertamente, padre Juan, no te ha sucedido conmigo, pero te-- pero, pero con otros.

[risas] ¿Verdad? Total, total.

E-era, era todo un santo.

Bue-- empezamos a hablar y me dijo Ramiro, ay, e-e-él daba clases, era profesor del seminario de Morelia.

No cual-no cualquier cosa, de verdad tenía un cerebro privilegiado.

Me dijo: "Carlos, tienes que rezar mucho por mí".

Sean luteranas o porque tengan ideas...
