Pincelazos de Fe de Fe con Yolanda Camacho - 24 de Marzo 26.

·1 hr·4 clips

A woman dying of cancer asked Yolanda to pray for her, and God's answer came: 'I will crush you like an olive — because that produces oil.'

1. 'Pincelazos de Fe' (Brushstrokes of Faith) is hosted by Yolanda Camacho on María Evangelizadora Radio, a Catholic devotional program structured as informal sermon and personal testimony. 2. Yolanda Camacho is the sole presenter; the program is a monologue delivered directly to listeners. 3. The episode's core theme is 'abandonment to divine providence' — letting go of self-interest, attachments, and the need to control outcomes. 4. The program opens with an invocation of the Holy Spirit during Lent, noting Holy Week is approaching and calling listeners to deepen their surrender during these final weeks. 5. Yolanda reads John 15:16 — 'You did not choose me; I chose you' — as the scriptural anchor for the episode, arguing that if God has chosen the listener, the appropriate response is trust and fruitfulness, not striving. 6. She recounts an anonymous saint (identified only as someone who cared for many children by faith) who prayed when there was no food, and a baker arrived with unsold bread — offered freely because the saint came to mind. 7. The central testimony is about a young woman, a friend of Yolanda in New Jersey, under 40, who had a cancer diagnosis and a quiet ministry of secretly buying medicine for people who couldn't afford it and paying for funerals of the poor. 8. The woman asked Yolanda to pray for her and relay whatever God said. Yolanda received a word she found difficult to deliver: 'God will crush you like an olive — because that produces oil.' 9. The woman received this word as a blessing, connecting it to the blessed olive oil used for extreme unction and healing, and said 'You are a blessing, woman.' 10. Following this exchange, the woman released her attachments to her possessions, forgave the man who had attempted to assault her in youth, entrusted her 15- and 18-year-old sons and her estranged husband to God, and gave away her jewelry before entering hospice care. 11. After her death, a friend in the Dominican Republic who had been helping her financially ran out of money for her own essential medication, which she needed to get out of bed. 12. This woman prayed, asking God: 'If this person is truly with you, let a miracle come through her intercession' — and that night heard a voice say 'I'm going to help you.' 13. The next morning, someone appeared and gave her money to buy the medicine — which Yolanda interprets as evidence that the deceased woman is in God's presence and interceding. 14. Yolanda then develops a theology of fasting: fasting does not remove desire by force, but disciplines the mind and body, creates awareness of need, and opens the soul to God's presence. 15. She reads Matthew 9:9 — Jesus calling Matthew the tax collector with only the words 'Follow me' — as an example of a divine call that 'dominated and paralyzed' a corrupt identity in an instant. 16. She applies this to her own life, recounting a moment when she complained about a small Uber vehicle and her daughter called her out — she then prayed for the driver as an act of repair. 17. Sirach 3 and the call to not withhold bread from the poor are cited as the framework for 'spiritual almsgiving' — offering prayer, suffering, or silence as forms of charity when food or money cannot be given. 18. The episode's closing story is about a Chilean saint (Yolanda calls him 'San Humberto Urtero') who gave his cloak and hood to a freezing stranger in a storm at midnight, only for the stranger to disappear — revealing himself to be Jesus. 19. The tone is intimate and confessional: Yolanda uses personal examples of her own failures (complaining about an Uber, struggling with a toxic brother) to demonstrate the same principles she is teaching. 20. The episode will resonate with Spanish-speaking Catholics familiar with charismatic piety and testimony-based formation; it may frustrate listeners seeking structured catechesis or doctrinal precision.
