00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:08.119
Bomba, why the affective relationships I
have are not stable. I like assertiveness

2
00:00:08.119 --> 00:00:14.519
because it invites us to prudence that
what should motivate our word is always love

3
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:21.399
is You and that is already the
basis to go out to conquer many goals,

4
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:30.000
to fight, to give a better
version and enjoy life fully. You

5
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:42.759
know a religious event, like the
one celebrated on Palm Sunday. It is

6
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:51.880
an occasion to understand the way we
conceive, leadership. This is beyond what

7
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:59.079
it means to the religion or to
the faith of some human beings. The

8
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:07.079
important thing about this event is that
we ask ourselves what kind of leadership is

9
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:15.959
characterized there and whether we are looking
to be leaders in that way. In

10
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:25.319
my vision, from theology and from
existential search. This event presents a new

11
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:33.280
conception of leadership, a leadership that
is no longer focused on any manifestation of

12
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:41.920
power, but is based on the
leading service. He' s not the

13
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:47.879
one who has power, leader is
the one who serves. That doesn'

14
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:57.159
t change everything, because even today
many believe that being a leader is being

15
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:07.879
able to wield a force, a
status, let' s say, a

16
00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:13.759
power that allows a firm and decisive
influence on others, almost understanding leader as

17
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:21.840
boss. And if we realize in
Jesus that he appears at the entrance to

18
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:29.280
Jerusalem and that he is proclaimed king
by a crowd that is mostly made up

19
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:35.520
of pilgrims, that is, men
and women from the periphery, by marginalized

20
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:46.199
men and women who come once a
year to that religious center. There is

21
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:53.280
a manifestation of humility, there is
a manifestation of service, there is a

22
00:02:53.879 --> 00:03:00.759
manifestation of justice that fills leadership with
a new sense. If you review the

23
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:08.599
text, I could recommend Mark chapter
eleven, verse one to verse ten.

24
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:17.000
You find that he shows up in
a drunkard, yes, in a young

25
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:30.479
ass. Someone will say Alberto and
that has some importance and I would have

26
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:36.919
to tell him it has all the
importance, because it is a symbolic expression.

27
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:45.000
A king usually comes up on a
percheron, on one of these giant

28
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:52.360
horses, surrounded by as much pomp
as possible. He doesn' t,

29
00:03:53.520 --> 00:04:01.639
he comes up on an ass on
a donkey, without trumpet cutting that announces

30
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:12.439
it. He has shown that his
leadership is not based on what characterizes corporate

31
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:24.120
political leadership, which is power to
command, power to decide. His leadership

32
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:35.800
is based on three values that I
think we should think about today, humility,

33
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:44.480
service and justice, because I believe
that what characterizes Jesus' leadership is

34
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:56.680
humility, because it does not proclaim
any distinction for him. If you look

35
00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:03.040
through the Gospels, he does not
own any title, any expression that makes

36
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:18.639
others believe that he is above them. It is not a proud leadership of

37
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:25.800
those who live, of showing others
what they can do with those who live

38
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:31.040
by telling their exploits, of those
who live by proclaiming that like them,

39
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:40.360
no one else. He' s
not trying to make the other inferiors feel.

40
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:47.279
He' s not looking for applause
or aulical expressions that massage his ego.

41
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:56.319
He recognizes himself as who he is. And that is the greatest expression

42
00:05:56.360 --> 00:06:02.000
of humility. A humble leader is
is the one who knows who he is.

43
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:10.439
He is the one who has an
intense intimate connection with his essence and

44
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:19.920
does not need paraphernalias and does not
need magical expressions for others to value or

45
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:26.680
appreciate him. But the second feature
is service. To me, a word

46
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:32.360
that excites me there is pro-
existence. Exist in favor of others,

47
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:43.920
help be supportive, use the resources
we have, not only and exclusively for

48
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:50.519
our personal development, but for others
to be more. Perhaps the strongest sign

49
00:06:51.000 --> 00:07:00.560
is to wash the feet of his
disciples. That king does not ask the

50
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:04.279
others to kneel down and kiss his
hand, he does not ask for obeisances.

51
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:12.800
That king takes a punch box,
a pitcher, a towel and goes

52
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:19.120
and washes his disciples' feet,
showing him that this is the attitude that

53
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:27.360
a true leader always assumes here.
There are already many questions for today'

54
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:34.079
s men and women who live looking
to be applauded today in technology. Then

55
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:42.399
they seek to be influencer, then
they seek to have as many megusas as

56
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:47.319
possible or they seek as many followers
as possible by having to do whatever he

57
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:54.439
is. No, He is willing
to serve, willing to give. And

58
00:07:54.480 --> 00:08:01.120
the third characteristic is the pursuit of
justice, which for me is fundamentally equity.

59
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:09.519
That is why he is not a
warrior king who seeks political dominion,

60
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:18.240
but tries to help those who are
marginalized, those who are despised, to

61
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:26.680
have a dignified life. It seems
to me that justice here must be understood

62
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:31.960
as equity, that is, not
as a negation of differences, but as

63
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:41.480
that struggle so that we all have
the same opportunities, We have the right

64
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:48.039
to them, so that all,
regardless of our sex, our religion,

65
00:08:52.320 --> 00:09:01.919
our political opinion, are definitely valued
and loved and respected with dignity and put

66
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:11.279
the expression of sex first, because
many continue to oppress and generate injustices with

67
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:16.960
women. And the political is more
evident and the religious is even clearer.

68
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:24.200
Hey, you want to be a
leader, you have to be a leader

69
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:30.879
of your life as you lead in
the way of this man, humble,

70
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.480
servant and also fair. You don' t have to be a Christian,

71
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:41.200
you don' t have to be
a Catholic. Just try to live like

72
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:48.600
him, a leader. Servant,
there' s a text I really like

73
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:58.080
called the James Hunter paradox. I
think it explains this leadership of Jesus well.

74
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:05.440
Thank you for being here and thank
you for sharing this simple reflection with

75
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:09.840
me. Hey, don' t
forget the orational. The man is alive

76
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.639
and our twenty- year- old
commemorative book. The man is alive and

77
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:28.480
with you. You know b
