00:00You will be given a very important celebration in our Church.

00:04This is the Niños Inocentes or Feast of the Holy Innocents

00:07which is held every December 28 of each year.

00:10And for us to understand this better, we will have with us

00:14Father Arlo Bernardo Yap

00:16who will share the meaning and message of this occasion.

00:20Good morning and welcome to Rise and Shine Philippines, Father.

00:23Rise and Shine Philippines!

00:24I love the energy of Father Arlo.

00:27He can't handle AI.

00:29He can't handle AI.

00:30He can't handle it.

00:31He gets angry.

00:32You're right.

00:33He gets agitated.

00:36Well, we really woke up, Father Arlo.

00:38Good morning to all of you.

00:39Let's talk about this Niños Inocentes.

00:41Can you explain to us, Father Arlo, the importance of this occasion?

00:46The most important thing, Audrey and Dian,

00:49of this tradition is found in the Gospel of St. Matthew, Chapter 2, Verse 16.

00:56It is written there that King Herod realized that there was going to be a king of the Jews.

01:06He asked the three kings, the three pharaohs,

01:10if they were going to be in Bethlehem.

01:12So King Herod realized that there was an upcoming king of Israel.

01:17So he got agitated.

01:19First, he said, go ahead, go ahead.

01:23But in Chapter 2, Verse 16,

01:25after the three pharaohs left,

01:27King Herod got so angry

01:29that he realized that the pharaohs just lied to him.

01:33Because he didn't go back.

01:34So he had all the boys killed in Bethlehem.

01:39And around this time,

01:41from the age of two years old,

01:43he went down.

01:44Based on what the pharaohs told him.

01:47So he was two years old below.

01:50All the boys were killed.

01:52Hoping that Jesus would be with them and kill them all.

01:56So it was kind of like a slaughter.

01:59So those were the innocents who became holy.

02:04Because they were the ones who became food.

02:07Jesus was the only one who was saved.

02:09But Mama Mary and St. Joseph went to Egypt.

02:13As they were warned by the angel,

02:17they left.

02:18But the side of King Herod,

02:20he wanted to kill them all.

02:22So there were those who were sacrificed.

02:26But the word,

02:27niños inocentes,

02:28I assume this is the Spanish word that means

02:31innocent child.

02:32Innocent child.

02:33Is that right?

02:33Yes.

02:34Is this what the pharaohs meant?

02:35Innocent child.

02:36Meaning, they didn't know anything.

02:38The distinction,

02:39when we say martyr,

02:40or,

02:41what is it,

02:42our martyrs

02:45were held by their faith.

02:48For example,

02:50they were held by their faith

02:52and because of that,

02:54they were killed.

02:55Those were the martyrs.

02:56As for the holy innocents,

02:58they didn't know anything.

03:01They were put to death because of that event

03:04where the king of Israel was about to be born.

03:08So, in one sense,

03:10the word of martyr is a bit vague.

03:13But in another sense,

03:14they offered their lives,

03:16okay,

03:17they became a part of the evil look

03:20of King Herod on people.

03:23Right, Father Arlo,

03:24what is the lesson that we can learn

03:26from the story of the innocents

03:28and how can we apply this to our faith?

03:32The perspective of King Herod,

03:34as a leader,

03:36he is evil

03:38but he can be good to people.

03:41There are people like that,

03:42if there are good people,

03:44if you are envied,

03:45you feel like you are in a competition.

03:50That is what King Herod felt.

03:52That is not good.

03:53It is the same with politicians.

03:55Oh!

03:57Okay?

03:59In other words,

04:00there is a kind of thinking

04:01that you are doing good

04:03but you are being judged by other people.

04:06Second,

04:07that side of King Herod.

04:09Second,

04:10on the side of faith,

04:12the thinking that God is using you

04:15for the salvation of others.

04:18That is beautiful.

04:19Father Arlo is connecting

04:20what is happening in our reality in life.

04:23But,

04:24aside from politics,

04:26what is a good example

04:27that we can use in our daily life

04:30to bring this message to life

04:32for the ordinary Filipinos?

04:34The ordinary life regarding the whole innocents.

04:38One is,

04:39when a husband and wife fight,

04:42especially when it comes to divorce,

04:45who is the victim?

04:47Your children.

04:49Common sense.

04:50Your children are broken

04:52because their parents separated.

04:55Even then,

04:56the children are innocent,

04:57they don't know anything,

04:58yet their parents separated.

05:00They are affected.

05:01Yes.

05:02For me,

05:03that is the modern,

05:04so to say,

05:05grievances of those who have faith

05:10that the children who don't know anything

05:13are affected by what their parents do

05:15which is not good for them.

05:18When the parents are broken,

05:20the innocent children are broken.

05:23So, it's easy to reflect on your actions.

05:27Is it possible for others to be affected

05:29who don't know anything?

05:31Yes.

05:33The holy innocents are affected

05:36by what King Herod did.

05:40In celebration of the innocent children,

05:43what should be the activities of the churches?

05:47First,

05:48it is a great sin.

05:50In fact,

05:51you will know when you go to the church,

05:53the priests are wearing red clothes.

05:57Red means martyrdom

05:59or sacrifice.

06:02On the other side,

06:03it is also good for the Filipinos

06:05to celebrate the holy innocents

06:07that I will lend you.

06:10For example,

06:11I will lend you P100.

06:13If you lend me P28,

06:16I will not pay you.

06:18Ask me why?

06:19Why?

06:20Because you are innocent.

06:25It's like the April Fools.

06:28When we were young,

06:30we used to joke like that.

06:32You know it, Audrey.

06:33You know it, right?

06:34If Audrey owes money,

06:35don't let her borrow money.

06:37She won't lend you money.

06:39Look at my Lazada.

06:43I will check it out.

06:44You know that you are kind.

06:46I will check it out.

06:47Do you believe me?

06:49Alright.

06:50Of course,

06:51Christmas is just around the corner.

06:53We are also to celebrate New Year.

06:55What is your message

06:57to the Catholics and Filipinos?

07:01First,

07:02remove your emotional clutters.

07:09For example,

07:11the mindset like

07:12you have a lot of painful memories,

07:14you have to let go.

07:16That's why I always say,

07:18Audrey, think about it.

07:19Ask me why?

07:20Why?

07:21You didn't think about it.

07:22I thought you love me.

07:25Once,

07:26remove your clutters,

07:28the things that you don't need.

07:30The sins are spiritual.

07:32So that when Jesus enters your life,

07:34Jesus will be more accepted in your life.

07:37That's why a lot of people change

07:39their mindset

07:41because of their faith.

07:43When they receive Jesus,

07:45their mindsets become brighter.

07:49For example,

07:50Dian,

07:51Father,

07:52thank you for your advice.

07:53I was enlightened.

07:55I was enlightened.

07:56Now tell me,

07:57what is light in Tagalog?

07:59Ilaw.

08:00What is it?

08:01It's two words.

08:02Sirit na?

08:03Sirit po.

08:04Magaan.

08:05Ah, okay.

08:06Light.

08:07Light is not dark.

08:08Light is not heavy.

08:10Your mindset becomes brighter

08:11and your conscience becomes lighter.

08:15And don't ever forget,

08:17it's might over matter.

08:18Your mindset needs to become brighter

08:20and your conscience needs to become lighter.

08:23Your mindset needs to become lighter

08:25and your conscience needs to become lighter.

08:27It's might over matter.

08:29That's why faith is a big thing.

08:31It makes your mindset brighter

08:33and your conscience lighter.

08:35That's why Christ and shine are beautiful.

08:38Father Arlo's message is inspiring.

08:42For our RSP,

08:43that's right.

08:44Our baggage,

08:45our heavy feelings,

08:47let's get rid of them.

08:49So that next year,

08:50a new beginning,

08:51a new you.

08:52Yes.

08:53And that's the best gift you can give to yourself.

08:55Yes.

08:56Not material things.

08:58Okay, fine.

08:59I'm happy.

09:00Because they're being thoughtful.

09:03At least they remember you.

09:05But the best gift that you can have

09:08is cheese in your heart.

09:10Get rid of things that are not worthy

09:12of the love of Jesus in your heart.

09:15There.

09:16Thank you very much, Father Arlo,

09:18for giving us time

09:19and giving us deep advice

09:21to our fellowmen.

09:23Can I ask?

09:24Yes.

09:25Audrey and Dian.

09:26Yes.

09:27Dian, how's your love life?

09:29It's okay.

09:30Our Lord is in the center of it.

09:32There.

09:33Because He's with us.

09:35That's why they say,

09:36Christ and shine,

09:37the joy of this,

09:38and above all,

09:40the Holy Innocence,

09:42remember the purity of mind.

09:44The clearness of thought.

09:46Let's have the purity of mind

09:48anything that is not a good thought,

09:51get rid of it.

09:52And that's my message for the Holy Innocence.

09:55The purity of mind.

09:57P.S.

09:58That's why when you're innocent,

10:01pure.

10:02Okay?

10:03When you're not innocent,

10:05it's called adulterated.

10:07Adulterated means

10:09you have shampoo,

10:11you put water,

10:12it's called adulterated.

10:14That's why we're adults,

10:16we're not pure.

10:18But we have to purify our minds

10:20to keep that Holy Innocence

10:22in our hearts.

10:23Thank you so much.

10:24Thank you so much,

10:25Father Arlo.

10:27Happy Holidays,

10:28Merry Christmas,

10:29and Happy New Year.

10:30Thank you, Father Arlo.
