EVANGELIUM E OMELIA\HOMILY:
Evangelium
Matt 25:1-13
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Simile erit regnum coelórum decem virgínibus: quæ, accipiéntes lámpades suas, exiérunt óbviam sponso et sponsæ. Quinque autem ex eis erant fátuæ, et quinque prudéntes: sed quinque fátuæ, accéptis lampádibus, non sumpsérunt óleum secum: prudéntes vero accepérunt óleum in vasis suis cum lampádibus. Horam autem faciénte sponso, dormitavérunt omnes et dormiérunt. Média autem nocte clamor factus est: Ecce, sponsus venit, exíte óbviam ei. Tunc surrexérunt omnes vírgines illae, et ornavérunt lámpades suas. Fátuæ autem sapiéntibus dixérunt: Date nobis de óleo vestro: quia lámpades nostræ exstinguúntur. Respondérunt prudéntes, dicéntes: Ne forte non suffíciat nobis et vobis, ite pótius ad vendéntes, et émite vobis. Dum autem irent émere, venit sponsus: et quæ parátæ erant, intravérunt cum eo ad núptias, et clausa est iánua. Novíssime vero véniunt et réliquæ vírgines, dicéntes: Dómine, Dómine, áperi nobis. At ille respóndens, ait: Amen, dico vobis, néscio vos. Vigiláte ítaque, quia nescítis diem neque horam.
Gospel
Matt 25:1-13
At that time, Jesus spoke this parable to His disciples: Then will the kingdom of heaven be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom and the bride. Five of them were foolish and five wise. But the five foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them, while the wise did take oil in their vessels with the lamps. Then as the bridegroom was long in coming, they all became drowsy and slept. And at midnight a cry arose, Behold, the bridegroom is coming, go forth to meet him!’ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ The wise answered, saying, ‘Lest there may not be enough for us and for you, go rather to those who sell it, and buy some for yourselves.’ Now while they were gone to buy it, the bridegroom came; and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. Finally there came also the other virgins, who said, ‘Sir, sir, open the door for us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Amen I say to you, I do not know you.’ Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.
DALL’OMELIA DI (FROM THE HOMILY BY) DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA –MARTEDI 11 GENNAIO 2022, ORE 8.00
DALL’OMELIA DI DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (*)
Rom 12:1-5
E non vogliate conformarvi a questo secolo, ma riformatevi col rinnovamento del vostro spirito: affinché possiate conoscere quale sia la volontà di Dio, ciò ch’è bene, gradito e perfetto.
Luc 2:42-52
Quando Gesú raggiunse i dodici anni, essendo essi saliti a Gerusalemme, secondo l’usanza di quella solennità, e, passati quei giorni, se ne ritornarono, il fanciullo Gesú rimase a Gerusalemme, né i suoi genitori se ne avvidero.
Oggi e’ il sesto giorno dell’ottava di Epifania che termina giovedi 13 gennaio.
Gesu’ nel Vangelo rimane nel tempio di Gerusalemme. Ma al ritorno a Nazareth, Gesu’ ritorna nel nascondimento. Si manifestera’ a trent’anni per annunciare il Vangelo.
Il Signore si assoggetta a questa volonta di Dio. Anche San Paolo ci esorta a non valutarci piu’ degli altri, a non assumere atteggiamenti di superbia, volere primeggiare. Questa tentazione deve essere evitata nella comunita’, perche’ la Chiesa e’ un solo corpo.
Ma ciascuno ha la sua missione. Ciascuno ha il suo compito che Gesu’ gli ha comandato di svolgere con umilta’ e dedizione.
Oggi c’e’ anche la memoria di San Igino, santo papa e martire del secondo secolo. Fu un combattente della fede, che si batte’ per la diffusione del vangelo contro la cultura, le menzogne e la religione del paganesimo,
Quanto a noi ci attende il Grande Avvertimento. Non sappiamo pero’ il momento preciso in cui avvera’.
La cosa piu’ urgente e’ prepararsi attraverso la purificazione, mortificazione, pentimento ma soprattutto preghiera per tutte le anime piu’ deboli che soggiacciono alle tentazioni.
Sia lodato Gesu’ Cristo! Sempre sia lodato!

FROM THE HOMILY BY DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**)
Rom 12: 1-5
And do not want to conform to this century, but reform yourselves with the renewal of your spirit: so that you may know what God’s will is, what is good, pleasing and perfect.
Luke 2: 42-52
When Jesus reached the age of twelve, they had gone up to Jerusalem, according to the custom of that solemnity, and, after those days, they returned, the child Jesus remained in Jerusalem, nor did his parents realize it.
Today is the sixth day of the octave of Epiphany which ends Thursday 13 January.
Jesus in the Gospel remains in the temple of Jerusalem.
But upon returning to Nazareth, Jesus returns in hiding. He will manifest himself at thirty to announce the Gospel.
The Lord submits himself to this will of God.
Even St. Paul urges us not to value ourselves more than others, not to assume attitudes of pride, to want to excel.
This temptation must be avoided in the community, because the Church is one body.
But each has its own mission. Each has his own task that Jesus commanded him to carry out with humility and dedication.
Today there is also the memory of San Igino, a saint pope and martyr of the second century. He was a fighter of the faith, who fought for the spread of the gospel against the culture, lies and religion of paganism,
As for us, the Great Warning awaits us.
However, we do not know the exact moment in which it will happen. The most urgent thing is to prepare oneself through purification, mortification, repentance but above all prayer for all the weakest souls who are subjected to temptations.
Praised be Jesus Christ! Always be praised!
