EVANGELIUM E OMELIA\HOMILY:
Evangelium
Luc 14:26-33.
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus turbis: Si quis venit ad me, et non odit patrem suum, et matrem, et uxórem, et fílios, et fratres, et soróres, adhuc autem et ánimam suam, non potest meus esse discípulus. Et qui non báiulat crucem suam, et venit post me, non potest meus esse discípulus. Quis enim ex vobis volens turrim ædificáre, non prius sedens cómputat sumptus, qui necessárii sunt, si hábeat ad perficiéndum; ne, posteáquam posúerit fundaméntum, et non potúerit perfícere, omnes, qui vident, incípiant illúdere ei, dicéntes: Quia hic homo cœpit ædificáre, et non pótuit consummáre? Aut quis rex itúrus commíttere bellum advérsus álium regem, non sedens prius cógitat, si possit cum decem mílibus occúrrere ei, qui cum vigínti mílibus venit ad se? Alióquin, adhuc illo longe agénte, legatiónem mittens, rogat ea, quæ pacis sunt. Sic ergo omnis ex vobis, qui non renúntiat ómnibus, quæ póssidet, non potest meus esse discípulus.
Gospel
Luke 14:26-33.
At that time, Jesus said to the crowds, If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. And he who does not carry his cross and follow Me, cannot be My disciple. For which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not sit down first and calculate the outlays that are necessary, whether he has the means to complete it? Lest, after he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish, all who behold begin to mock him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish!’ Or what king setting out to engage in battle with another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to meet him who with twenty thousand is coming against him? Or else, whilst the other is yet at a distance, he sends a delegation and asks the terms of peace. So, therefore, every one of you who does not renounce all that he possesses, cannot be My disciple.
DALL’OMELIA DI (FROM THE HOMILY BY) DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA –LUNEDI 24 GENNAIO 2022, ORE 8.00
DALL’OMELIA DI DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (*)
1 Tim 6:11-16
Carissimo: Segui la giustizia, la pietà, la fede, la carità, la pazienza, la mansuetudine; combatti la buona battaglia della fede, conquista la vita eterna, per la quale sei stato chiamato ed hai fatta bella professione di fede dinanzi a molti testimoni.
Luc 14:26-33
Cosi pertanto chi di voi non rinuncia a tutto quello che possiede, non può essere mio discepolo».
Oggi ricordiamo San Timoteo, che stato un compagno di San Paolo durante i suoi viaggi missionari. Paolo di Tarso lo costituisce per questo vescovo di Tarso. Faceva parte di una rete di missionari, tutti grandemente assistiti dallo Spirito Santo e pronti al martirio per la fede in Cristo.
Il Signore ci chiede una collaborazione veramente grande. Dobbiamo infatti preferirlo a tutti gli altri affetti piu’ cari.
Si tratta di un’impresa molto impegnativa che si puo’ paragonare ad una guerra. E’ la guerra spirituale che stiamo vivendo.
Adesso con le prove che ci vengono richieste, cominciamo a comprendere bene il sacrificio che stiamo vivendo e che ci attende. Specialmente il nostro capo, Benedetto XVI, cui siamo vicini con il cuore!
Noi vivremo la Pentecoste, lo sappiamo, ma prima dobbiamo vivere il sacrificio! Dobbiamo essere consapevoli per poter combattere con la fede. Non illudiamoci: la nostra salita’ sara’ ardua!
Ma i santi intercedono per noi!
Sia lodato Gesu’ Cristo! Sempre sia lodato!

FROM THE HOMILY BY DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**)
Tim 6: 11-16 Dearest: Follow justice, piety, faith, charity, patience, meekness; fight the good fight of faith, conquer eternal life, for which you were called and you made a beautiful profession of faith in front of many witnesses.
Luke 14: 26-33 So therefore those of you who do not renounce everything that they possess cannot be my disciple ».
Today we remember St. Timothy, who was a companion of St. Paul during his missionary journeys.
Paul of Tarsus constitutes him for this bishop of Tarsus.
He was part of a network of missionaries, all greatly assisted by the Holy Spirit and ready for martyrdom for faith in Christ.
The Lord asks us for a truly great collaboration.
In fact, we must prefer it to all the other dearest affections.
It is a very demanding undertaking that can be compared to a war. It is the spiritual war we are experiencing.
Now with the tests that are required of us, we begin to understand well the sacrifice we are experiencing and that awaits us.
Especially our leader, Benedict XVI, whom we are close to in our hearts!
We will live Pentecost, we know, but first we have to live the sacrifice!
We have to be aware in order to fight with faith. Let us not delude ourselves: our climb will be difficult!
But the saints intercede for us!
Praised be Jesus Christ! Always be praised!
