·1 hr 23 min·7 clips

A speaker explains how the 40 days of Lent prepare us to leave worldly possessions behind for eternity.

1. María Evangelizadora Radio broadcasts 'El Poder de lo Alto' with host Pedro Tavarez during the fifth week of Lent, 2026. 2. Pedro Tavarez is the host, identified as a Catholic charismatic preacher; no in-studio guest is named in this episode. 3. The episode's core thesis is that the Holy Spirit wants to replicate the Pentecost outpouring of Acts 2 in the homes of listeners today, as it did in the house of Cornelius in Acts 11:15. 4. Tavarez opens with 2 Corinthians 8:9, where Paul writes that Christ 'became poor so that through his poverty you might become rich,' framing Lent as a season of spiritual enrichment through humility. 5. He cites Pope Francis's Lenten 2014 statement: 'God does not reveal himself through the power and wealth of the world, but through weakness and poverty,' using it to warn against pursuing material success at the expense of spiritual life. 6. Acts 11:15 is central to the episode — Peter's account of the Holy Spirit falling on Cornelius's household just as at Pentecost — which Tavarez uses to assert that the same experience is available to every listener's home. 7. Luke 21:19 ('Remain firm to be saved') is quoted as the condition for receiving spiritual renewal, which Tavarez links to perseverance in Catholic practice during Lent. 8. Hebrews 4:14-16 is read in full: Jesus as High Priest entered heaven, can sympathize with human weakness because he was tested without sinning, and invites believers to approach the throne of God with confidence. 9. Tavarez identifies a growing 'spiritual indifference' spreading through society and warns it produces indifference to neighbors, the church, and eventually a 'state of death.' 10. The Third Sorrowful Mystery of the Rosary — the Crowning with Thorns, from Matthew 27 — is recited in full, with Tavarez leading listeners through ten Hail Marys. 11. He prays for peace in the Holy Land, the Middle East, and for listeners struggling with addiction, illness, poverty, and dependence on medication or money. 12. Pope León XIV (the current pontiff in this broadcast's time frame) is named in a closing prayer of gratitude for Church leadership. 13. A childhood memory from 1960s Dominican Republic — his mother lighting oil lamps during power cuts — is used to illustrate Matthew 6's 'the eyes are the lamp of the body,' urging listeners to fix their gaze on Jesus. 14. The Eucharist is described as the 'throne of grace on earth' where Jesus remains present under the appearance of bread, and Tavarez urges listeners to attend Mass during Holy Week. 15. Saint John Paul II's repeated instruction — 'Do not tire of asking for the Holy Spirit' — is quoted as a standing invitation to prayer. 16. A prophetic song based on Jeremiah's call ('Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and I consecrated you') is sung during the episode, connecting the listener to a personal calling from God. 17. The episode's tone is warm and devotional, mixing scripture teaching with spontaneous prayer, worship songs, and direct personal address to listeners. 18. The format is a live charismatic Catholic radio broadcast with musical interludes, repeated liturgical responses, and an extended intercession segment. 19. Listeners who are practicing Catholics, particularly those connected to the Charismatic Renewal movement, or who seek devotional Spanish-language radio content, will find this episode most meaningful. 20. Listeners seeking analytical theology, non-Catholic perspectives, or content primarily in English will likely not engage with this episode.
