00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			Peace be with you.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			We talked yesterday
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:20
			about,
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			the bad memories that we have sometimes when
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			we come back to our past,
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:26
			And
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			things are going,
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			with us and through us with
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			the time that we are living and that
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			we are experiencing on earth, and sometimes the
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			wounds.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			And the reality is of our wounds and
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			our intimate,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:44
			resentment
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			comes from
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			what has been done to us by people.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			It could be with your with our parents.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			It could be with our children. It could
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			be with our husband, our wife, and the
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			people around us that
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			we feel that what was said, one word,
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			one way of looking at us, one side,
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			one remark that we are
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			still remembering
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			because we were hurt. But what happened to
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			us, what happened to our heart, what happened
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			to our understanding,
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:19
			This is here and this is within us.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			And as we know,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			to be close to God is always to
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			remember that he is with us,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			and as to the wounds, as to the
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			relationship, as to what was done to us,
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:34
			the experience is exactly the opposite. As much
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			as we have to remember God, we have
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			to forget
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			about what was done to us. We have
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			to go beyond. We have even to erase
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			what we felt when this,
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			happened to us in the past.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			So this is the way we are close
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			to god to remember.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			And as we are close
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			to god with this remembrance,
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			we should go beyond what was done to
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:03
			us by our beloved people. It could be
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			our father, our mother, and everyone who is
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			around us. And this is the way we
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			go beyond. This is the way we forgive.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			This is the way we,
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:14
			are repairing
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:15
			ourselves,
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			fixing what is still in our heart
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			in order to get this peace, this inner
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			peace, which is one dimension
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:25
			of
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			repair,
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			repairing,
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			to repair what is happening to to us
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			in our life. And as
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			much as we do this, we understand that
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			in order to feel that inner peace, in
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			order to be close to God, we should
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			with our,
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			brothers and sisters, with our parents, with our
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			children,
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:48
			go beyond the feeling, be go beyond the
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			wounds,
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			go beyond either
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			the,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:53
			after effects
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			of what
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			happened in the past in order to
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:01
			come close to this wisdom which is so
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			important,
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			Repairing
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:06
			what was done to us by forgetting
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
			and coming close to God by remembering.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			Don't forget to tell the people you love
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			that you love them. Life is fragile.
