00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,800
Hi everyone.
I'm happy to be back.
2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,680
And over the past few months,
I've tried different kinds of
3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,640
contents, well, actually maybe
years.
4
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,200
I've tried Filipino leadership.
I tried business reflections, I
5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,960
tried business learnings,
business teachings, abundance,
6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,560
even the Holy Sheep podcast on
catechism.
7
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,280
I've tried being part of an
ecumenical podcast to narrow
8
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,720
door.
But deep in my heart, I realized
9
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,880
the message I really want to
share was born from Overcomer,
10
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,840
the book I started and and the
theme of all of that.
11
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,200
And that with that, it's clearer
than ever.
12
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:32,960
Sorry for being stubborn.
And just in case you're
13
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,720
listening to me.
And that maybe that's why we're
14
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,600
friends, because we're both
stubborn.
15
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,920
Let's grow together.
Let's journey together.
16
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,440
And I want to help you live out
adulting for Catholics.
17
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,960
I want to help you be the best
you be the best Catholic, be you
18
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,040
figure out life.
So let me introduce myself.
19
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,320
I'm Drapo Hernandez.
I'm a Catholic life coach, lay
20
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,760
preacher, and author.
My mission?
21
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,000
To bridge the gap between faith
and real life.
22
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,960
To Catholicize the world,
starting with us.
23
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:08,960
To bring the Catholic concept
and the corporate life together.
24
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,200
To merge it.
To find the bridge.
25
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:19,120
Let me start with the idea that
something's happening in the
26
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,840
Church and in leadership.
Lately, we witnessed the
27
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,640
historic moment in the church
election of a new Pope.
28
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,120
We just had the conclave because
we lost Pope Francis the first.
29
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,400
Many of us, especially
Filipinos, were.
30
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,000
We were praying for Cardinal
Tagli and some were even praying
31
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
for Cardinal David.
But on God's plan, Cardinal
32
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,320
Robert Prevost was chosen and
became Pope Leo the 14th.
33
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,720
It's not a political thing.
It's where God is leading us and
34
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,520
I am grateful for the Cardinals
for listening to the Holy Spirit
35
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,520
in electing a new Pope.
And, and if you've read or
36
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,840
watched videos, Cardinal Tagley
was saying when Cardinal Bravos
37
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,440
was stressing out because he was
being called, he offered candy.
38
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,400
And that was his first act of
charity.
39
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,920
Carl Tagli, Carl Chito Tagli or
Louis Tagli did not complain.
40
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,280
He didn't try to outshine the
new Pope.
41
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,520
He simply served humbly,
faithfully and with grace.
42
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:23,120
That's Filipino Catholic
leadership.
43
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,440
Pope Leo said something
powerful.
44
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:32,040
The church will renew the world
through laypeople, ordinary men
45
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,000
and women living their faith in
the middle of the world.
46
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,040
So let's be inspired by the life
of our Filipino Cardinals who
47
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:46,160
were capable but chose to serve
not because they want the title,
48
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,080
but because they want to serve.
And that's the goal as a leader.
49
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:55,240
We need leaders that want to
serve others and and not to
50
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,400
take.
It's not anhira pindi magin
51
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,200
political because of Filipinos
and Damian politicians who take
52
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,600
or there are businessmen or CE
OS who are very selfish, very
53
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,720
greedy.
But right now, I'm talking to
54
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,640
you because I want you to be the
next best Filipino Catholic
55
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,240
leader.
You are a leader in your job, in
56
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,240
your home, in your everyday
choices.
57
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:22,280
That's where faith matters most.
Here's something amazing that I
58
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:27,160
realized by reading notes,
searching the Internet.
59
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:30,400
And it's that Filipinos aren't
just receiving the faith
60
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,240
anymore.
We're the ones spreading it
61
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,120
through.
We're missionaries.
62
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,160
Basically every Filipino has
become a missionary.
63
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,160
We're we're evangelizing through
the rosary, through our prayers.
64
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,160
We're OFW students versus
entrepreneurs sharing Jesus by
65
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,720
how we live and love.
So the question is, will we keep
66
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,800
leading quietly?
Will we step down?
67
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:01,160
Will we we be small?
Or will we step up and lead with
68
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:06,160
intention and in faith?
I'll introduce 2 Filipino Saints
69
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,720
that might inspire you.
First one, St.
70
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,920
Lorenzo Ruiz, he's a father and
a clerk and he said if I had
71
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,279
1000 lives, I'd offer them all
to God.
72
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,120
Second person I want to share
with you is Saint Pedro Palonzo.
73
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,280
He's a teenage catechist.
He gave his life in the mission
74
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:27,720
field.
These Saints, these Filipino
75
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,400
Saints were not popes.
They were not influencers.
76
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,640
They were ordinary Catholics
like you and me.
77
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,640
They became Saints through
obedience.
78
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,760
That means leadership isn't
about position, it's about
79
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:47,440
purpose.
It's about influence.
80
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,960
It's doing what needs to be done
and it's doing what the right
81
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,520
thing is.
So maybe you're thinking I'm not
82
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,560
the same.
I'm just trying to survive.
83
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,120
Adult thing.
I need to learn how to pay my
84
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:05,280
bills, wash the dishes, do my
hobbies, do my sports, do
85
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:10,600
Netflix, whatever it is.
You're not just surviving.
86
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,080
You're meant to live your best
life.
87
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,800
That's what the series series is
all about.
88
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,760
I don't think.
I don't think for Catholic means
89
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,880
bringing life.
Bringing, sorry, let me repeat,
90
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,560
I don't think for Catholics
means bringing faith into real
91
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,240
life, into your job, your
family, your decisions, your
92
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,720
stress, your dreams, the good
and the bad and the ugly, the
93
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,760
ups and downs, the struggles of
adulting life.
94
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,880
I'm here for you.
Today is the bridge from
95
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,040
leadership to everyday Catholic
living.
96
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,320
I believe in you, Naniniwala
Osapredimangyanis Abu.
97
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:50,440
So if this message spoke out to
you, Inspirica, that's not an
98
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,560
accident.
It's a call to grow, to mature,
99
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,640
to take responsibility with
Jesus at the center.
100
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,680
So comment below.
I'm ready to grow.
101
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,520
And please share this video to
someone or this podcast to
102
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,520
someone.
This is just the beginning.
103
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,760
In the next episodes, we'll talk
about Catholic adulting, how to
104
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,840
live with faith in your work,
your love, your finances, and
105
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:10,280
more.
See you in the next one and God
106
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:11,360
bless you.
