  • 0:00 - 0:06
    and now in the name of our loving
  • 0:02 - 0:13
    liberating and life-giving God Father
  • 0:06 - 0:18
    Son and Holy Spirit a man from the Song
  • 0:13 - 0:23
    of Solomon in the Bible set me as a seal
  • 0:18 - 0:28
    upon your heart as a seal upon your arm
  • 0:23 - 0:30
    the love is as strong as death passion
  • 0:28 - 0:36
    fears as the grave
  • 0:30 - 0:40
    it's flashes of flashes of fire a raging
  • 0:36 - 0:47
    flame many waters cannot quench love
  • 0:40 - 0:51
    neither can floods drown it out the late
  • 0:47 - 0:55
    dr. Martin Luther King once said in that
  • 0:51 - 1:02
    quote we must discover the power of love
  • 0:55 - 1:07
    the redemptive power of love and when we
  • 1:02 - 1:15
    do that we will make of this old world a
  • 1:07 - 1:15
    new world but love love is the only way
  • 1:16 - 1:24
    there's power in love don't
  • 1:20 - 1:30
    underestimate don't even over
  • 1:24 - 1:36
    sentimentalize it there's power power in
  • 1:30 - 1:40
    love if you don't believe me think about
  • 1:36 - 1:43
    a time when you first fell in love the
  • 1:40 - 1:48
    whole world seemed to center around you
  • 1:43 - 1:53
    and your beloved well this power power
  • 1:48 - 1:58
    in love not just in its romantic forms
  • 1:53 - 2:01
    but any form any shape of love there's a
  • 1:58 - 2:05
    certain sense in which when you are
  • 2:01 - 2:06
    loved and you know it when someone cares
  • 2:05 - 2:11
    for you and you know
  • 2:06 - 2:14
    when you love and you show it it
  • 2:11 - 2:17
    actually feels right there's something
  • 2:14 - 2:19
    right about it and there's a reason for
  • 2:17 - 2:23
    it
  • 2:19 - 2:27
    the reason has to do with the source we
  • 2:23 - 2:29
    were made by a power of love and our
  • 2:27 - 2:32
    lives were meant and are meant to be
  • 2:29 - 2:37
    lived in that love that's why we were we
  • 2:32 - 2:42
    are here ultimately the source of love
  • 2:37 - 2:46
    is God Himself the source of all of our
  • 2:42 - 2:50
    lives there's an old medieval poem that
  • 2:46 - 2:54
    that says where true love is found God
  • 2:50 - 2:57
    Himself is there the New Testament says
  • 2:54 - 3:01
    it this way beloved let us love one
  • 2:57 - 3:04
    another because love is of God and those
  • 3:01 - 3:07
    who love are born of God and know God
  • 3:04 - 3:13
    those who do not love do not know God
  • 3:07 - 3:17
    for god is love there's power in love
  • 3:13 - 3:21
    there's power in love to help and heal
  • 3:17 - 3:26
    when nothing else can there's power in
  • 3:21 - 3:32
    love to lift up and liberate nothing
  • 3:26 - 3:37
    else will there's power to show us the
  • 3:32 - 3:44
    way to live set me as a seal on your
  • 3:37 - 3:50
    heart a seal on your heart for love it's
  • 3:44 - 3:55
    as strong as death but but love is not
  • 3:50 - 3:57
    only about a young couple now the power
  • 3:55 - 4:00
    of love is demonstrated by the fact that
  • 3:57 - 4:04
    we're all here to young people fell in
  • 4:00 - 4:07
    love and we all showed up but but it's
  • 4:04 - 4:12
    not just for and about a young couple
  • 4:07 - 4:15
    who we rejoice with it's more than that
  • 4:12 - 4:18
    Jesus of Nazareth on one occasion was
  • 4:15 - 4:21
    asked by a lawyer to sum up the essence
  • 4:18 - 4:23
    of the teachings of Moses and and and
  • 4:21 - 4:26
    and he went back and reached back into
  • 4:23 - 4:28
    the Hebrew Scriptures to Deuteronomy and
  • 4:26 - 4:30
    Leviticus and Jesus said you shall love
  • 4:28 - 4:32
    the Lord your God with all your heart
  • 4:30 - 4:35
    all your soul all your mind and all your
  • 4:32 - 4:38
    strength this is the first and Great
  • 4:35 - 4:41
    Commandment and the second is like it
  • 4:38 - 4:45
    love your neighbor as yourself and then
  • 4:41 - 4:47
    in Matthews version he said on these two
  • 4:45 - 4:52
    love of God and love of neighbor hang
  • 4:47 - 4:54
    all the law all the prophets that Moses
  • 4:52 - 4:57
    wrote everything is the holy prophets
  • 4:54 - 5:02
    everything everything that God has been
  • 4:57 - 5:06
    trying to tell the world love God love
  • 5:02 - 5:11
    your neighbors and why you edit love
  • 5:06 - 5:15
    yourself know someone once said that
  • 5:11 - 5:18
    Jesus began the most revolutionary
  • 5:15 - 5:21
    movement in all of human history a
  • 5:18 - 5:27
    movement grounded in the unconditional
  • 5:21 - 5:33
    love of God for the world and a movement
  • 5:27 - 5:37
    mandating people to live that love and
  • 5:33 - 5:41
    in so doing to change that of only their
  • 5:37 - 5:45
    lives but the very life of the world
  • 5:41 - 5:53
    itself I'm talking about some power
  • 5:45 - 5:58
    legal power power to change the world if
  • 5:53 - 6:01
    you don't believe me well there were
  • 5:58 - 6:05
    small slaves in America's antebellum
  • 6:01 - 6:07
    South who explained the dynamic power of
  • 6:05 - 6:09
    love and why it has the power to
  • 6:07 - 6:12
    transform they explained it this way
  • 6:09 - 6:14
    they sang a spiritual even in the midst
  • 6:12 - 6:17
    of their captivity it's one that says
  • 6:14 - 6:18
    there is a balm and giving a healing
  • 6:17 - 6:21
    balm something that can make things
  • 6:18 - 6:24
    right there is a balm in Gilead to make
  • 6:21 - 6:28
    the wounded whole there is a balm in
  • 6:24 - 6:30
    Gilead to heal the sick soul and one of
  • 6:28 - 6:33
    the things actually explains why they
  • 6:30 - 6:37
    said if you cannot preach like Peter and
  • 6:33 - 6:41
    you cannot pray like Paul you just tell
  • 6:37 - 6:44
    the love of Jesus how he died to save us
  • 6:41 - 6:49
    oh oh that's the balm in Gilead this way
  • 6:44 - 6:52
    of love is the way of life they got it
  • 6:49 - 6:54
    he died to save us all he didn't die for
  • 6:52 - 6:56
    anything he could get out of it
  • 6:54 - 7:00
    Jesus did not get an honorary Doctorate
  • 6:56 - 7:01
    for dying he didn't he wasn't getting
  • 7:00 - 7:03
    anything out of it
  • 7:01 - 7:06
    he gave up his life he sacrificed his
  • 7:03 - 7:08
    life for the good of others for the good
  • 7:06 - 7:12
    of the other for the well-being of the
  • 7:08 - 7:15
    world for us that's what love is love is
  • 7:12 - 7:21
    not selfish and so centered love can be
  • 7:15 - 7:27
    sacrificial and in so doing becomes
  • 7:21 - 7:32
    redemptive in that way of one selfish
  • 7:27 - 7:38
    sacrificial redemptive love changes
  • 7:32 - 7:41
    lives and can change this world if you
  • 7:38 - 7:44
    don't believe me just just stopping
  • 7:41 - 7:52
    thing for imagine think
  • 7:44 - 7:58
    and imagine well he can imagine a world
  • 7:52 - 8:02
    where love is the way imagine our homes
  • 7:58 - 8:07
    and families when love is the way
  • 8:02 - 8:10
    imagine neighborhoods and communities
  • 8:07 - 8:15
    where love is the way it
  • 8:10 - 8:18
    imagine governments and nations where
  • 8:15 - 8:23
    love is the way imagine business and
  • 8:18 - 8:26
    commerce when love is the way imagine
  • 8:23 - 8:29
    this tired old world when love is is the
  • 8:26 - 8:32
    way when love is the way unselfish
  • 8:29 - 8:35
    sacrificial redemptive when love is the
  • 8:32 - 8:38
    way then no child will go to bed hungry
  • 8:35 - 8:41
    in this world ever again when love is
  • 8:38 - 8:44
    the way we will let justice roll down
  • 8:41 - 8:47
    like a mighty stream and righteousness
  • 8:44 - 8:50
    like an ever-flowing group and love is
  • 8:47 - 8:54
    the way poverty will become history
  • 8:50 - 8:59
    when the love is the way the earth will
  • 8:54 - 9:01
    be a sanctuary and love is the way we
  • 8:59 - 9:06
    will lay down our swords and shields
  • 9:01 - 9:13
    down by the riverside to study War no

  • 9:59 - 10:08
    human family and let me tell you
  • 10:05 - 10:13
    something old Solomon was right in the
  • 10:08 - 10:13
    Old Testament that's fire
  • 10:13 - 10:20
    they are decied on and with this I will
  • 10:16 - 10:20
    sit down we got to get you all married
  • 10:20 - 10:27
    French Jesuit ard showdown was arguably
  • 10:25 - 10:31
    one of the great minds great spirits of
  • 10:27 - 10:36
    the 20th century Jesuit Roman Catholic
  • 10:31 - 10:39
    priest scientists a scholar a mystic in
  • 10:36 - 10:41
    some of his writings he said from his
  • 10:39 - 10:44
    scientific background as well as his
  • 10:41 - 10:47
    theological one some of his writings has
  • 10:44 - 10:49
    said as others have that the discovery
  • 10:47 - 10:51
    or invention or harnessing of fire was
  • 10:49 - 10:53
    one of the great one of the great
  • 10:51 - 10:58
    scientific and technological discoveries
  • 10:53 - 11:01
    in all of human history fire to a great
  • 10:58 - 11:04
    extent made human civilization possible
  • 11:01 - 11:07
    fire made it possible to cook food and
  • 11:04 - 11:10
    and to provide sanitary ways of eating
  • 11:07 - 11:13
    which reduced the spread of disease in
  • 11:10 - 11:16
    its time fire made it possible to to
  • 11:13 - 11:19
    heat warm environment and thereby made
  • 11:16 - 11:22
    human migration around the world a
  • 11:19 - 11:26
    possibility even into colder climates
  • 11:22 - 11:29
    fire made it possible there is no there
  • 11:26 - 11:31
    was no Bronze Age without fire no Iron
  • 11:29 - 11:34
    Age without fire no Industrial
  • 11:31 - 11:36
    Revolution without fire the advances of
  • 11:34 - 11:39
    science and technology are greatly
  • 11:36 - 11:42
    dependent on the human ability and
  • 11:39 - 11:46
    capacity to take fire and use it for
  • 11:42 - 11:50
    human good anybody get here in a car
  • 11:46 - 11:52
    today an automobile knock your heads if
  • 11:50 - 11:55
    you did I'm guessing I know there were
  • 11:52 - 11:58
    some carriages but those of us who came
  • 11:55 - 12:01
    on cars fire the controlled harnessed
  • 11:58 - 12:04
    fire made that possible I know that the
  • 12:01 - 12:06
    Bible says I believe Jesus walked on the
  • 12:04 - 12:08
    water but I have to tell you I didn't
  • 12:06 - 12:09
    walk across the Atlantic Ocean to get
  • 12:08 - 12:12
    here
  • 12:09 - 12:14
    controlled fire in that plane got me
  • 12:12 - 12:17
    here fire makes it possible for us to
  • 12:14 - 12:19
    text and tweet an email and Instagram
  • 12:17 - 12:24
    and and Facebook and socially be
  • 12:19 - 12:27
    dysfunctional with each other fire all
  • 12:24 - 12:30
    of that possible and and de Chardin said
  • 12:27 - 12:33
    fire was one of the greatest discoveries
  • 12:30 - 12:36
    in all of human history and he then went
  • 12:33 - 12:40
    on to say that if humanity ever
  • 12:36 - 12:45
    harnesses the energy of fire again if
  • 12:40 - 12:49
    humanity ever captures the energy of
  • 12:45 - 12:54
    love it will be the second time in
  • 12:49 - 13:00
    history that we have discovered fire
  • 12:54 - 13:05
    dr. King was right we must discover love
  • 13:00 - 13:10
    the redemptive power of love and when we
  • 13:05 - 13:18
    do that we will make of this old world a
  • 13:10 - 13:27
    new world my brother my sister
  • 13:18 - 13:34
    God love you god bless you and may God
  • 13:27 - 13:36
    hold us all in those Almighty hands of
  • 13:34 - 13:36
    love
Title:
Long blank video (1:46:39)
Description:

I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor) by duplicating several times the one in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFbc7LWUL8g . This one too is completely empty: no images, no audio. It is uploaded here for experimental reuses in closed captioning platforms. Obviously, it is in the public domain, even though YT does not offer this licensing option.

Update Jan 14, 2012: As I tried to explain in the comments to irate/baffled/amused viewers. I uploaded this video for a purely instrumental purpose: seeing how online collaborative subtitling/captioning instruments can be diverted to collaboratively translate normal texts, and to then export the translation, as you would export the file of translated subtitles.
Of course, you can also collaboratively translate on a wiki page, but the advantage of doing it in a subtitling app is that the original text above the translated part cannot get deleted: this makes revision easier.

I started toying with this 2 and half years ago with DotSUB: see http://etcjournal.com/2009/04/05/collaborative-text-translation-with-dotsub/ . But the problems with DotSUB for that are that a) it does not allow you to have subtitles longer that what its programmers deemed suitable; b) subtitles HAVE to be time-coded and can only be exported in time-coded formats, and it's a bore to have to delete all the time codes if what you want is just a plain text translation of a normal text.
So I decided to try again with Universal Subtitles, where you can transcribe without time-coding. and where you can translate the "non time-coded" transcript, and export the translation as a .txt file.
So I used this irritating blank video to create http://www.universalsubtitles.org/en/videos/xHZzawTR9MLF/ , to which I added, as if it were a transcript of the video, Cory Doctorow's "Constitutional Crisis" short story (1). And then I started to translate it in Italian in the http://www.universalsubtitles.org/en/videos/xHZzawTR9MLF/it/222759/ subpage: click on "Edit Subtitles" if you wish to see the translation interface.
That's all this empty video is about: just a means to create a translating interface for a text that is just a text.

Update Nov. 7, 2012 Changes to the Amara software made it impossible to re-use the already used "subtitle sets": I therefore asked for the deletion of the above-mentioned page, and made a new one in http://www.universalsubtitles.org/en/videos/69iJjyH8euXi/info/long-blank-video-14639/ .
