Episodio 1034 - A LOS PIES DEL MAESTRO

January 15, 2026·21 min·2 clips

The host welcomes listeners to a day of catechesis, emphasizing gratitude for life and the importance of doing God's will.

The episode begins with a welcoming prayer and thanksgiving for life, setting a tone of devotion and submission to God's will. The host mentions practical issues like copyright penalties for background music. The main scriptural focus is Psalm 28, which the host describes as a prayer for help against evil people. The host explains the psalmist's request for God to punish the wicked, noting this reflects an Old Testament retributive mentality. A key theological point is the contrast with the New Testament's emphasis on mercy, forgiveness, and praying for sinners' conversion. The host discusses Psalm 28's call to trust in God as strength and shield, critiquing those who only rely on God during prosperity but falter in economic hardship. The episode then transitions to the Gospel of Mark, reading the story of Jesus healing a leper. The host emphasizes how Jesus' touch defied social exclusion laws, restoring the leper's dignity and reintegrating him into society. The host interprets Jesus' instruction for the healed man to see a priest as respect for priestly authority. This leads to an extended reflection on the role of priests in the Catholic Church. The host describes priests as guarantees of God's presence in sacraments: they forgive sins in confession, consecrate the Eucharist, administer baptism and anointing of the sick, and witness marriages. The episode ends with a blessing and encouragement to meditate on Psalm 28, praying for more priests dedicated to God's work.
