Evangelium
Matt 20:1-16
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Simile est regnum coelórum hómini patrifamílias, qui éxiit primo mane condúcere operários in víneam suam. Conventióne autem facta cum operáriis ex denário diúrno, misit eos in víneam suam. Et egréssus circa horam tértiam, vidit álios stantes in foro otiósos, et dixit illis: Ite et vos in víneam meam, et quod iustum fúerit, dabo vobis. Illi autem abiérunt. Iterum autem éxiit circa sextam et nonam horam: et fecit simíliter. Circa undécimam vero éxiit, et invénit álios stantes, et dicit illis: Quid hic statis tota die otiósi? Dicunt ei: Quia nemo nos condúxit. Dicit illis: Ite et vos in víneam meam. Cum sero autem factum esset, dicit dóminus víneæ procuratóri suo: Voca operários, et redde illis mercédem, incípiens a novíssimis usque ad primos. Cum veníssent ergo qui circa undécimam horam vénerant, accepérunt síngulos denários. Veniéntes autem et primi, arbitráti sunt, quod plus essent acceptúri: accepérunt autem et ipsi síngulos denários. Et accipiéntes murmurábant advérsus patremfamílias, dicéntes: Hi novíssimi una hora fecérunt et pares illos nobis fecísti, qui portávimus pondus diéi et æstus. At ille respóndens uni eórum, dixit: Amíce, non facio tibi iniúriam: nonne ex denário convenísti mecum? Tolle quod tuum est, et vade: volo autem et huic novíssimo dare sicut et tibi. Aut non licet mihi, quod volo, fácere? an óculus tuus nequam est, quia ego bonus sum? Sic erunt novíssimi primi, et primi novíssimi. Multi enim sunt vocáti, pauci vero elécti.
Gospel
Matt 20:1-16
At that time, Jesus spoke to His disciples this parable: The kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. And having agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And about the third hour, he went out and saw others standing in the market place idle; and he said to them, ‘Go you also into the vineyard, and I will give you whatever is just.’ So they went. And again he went out about the sixth, and about the ninth hour, and did as before. But about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing about and he said to them, ‘Why do you stand here all day idle?’ They said to him, ‘Because no man has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘Go you also into the vineyard.’ But when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, ‘Call the laborers, and pay them their wages, beginning from the last even to the first.’ Now when they of the eleventh hour came, they received each a denarius. And when the first in their term came, they thought that they would receive more; but they also received each his denarius. And on receiving it, they began to murmur against the householder, saying, ‘These last have worked a single hour, and you have put them on a level with us, who have borne the burden of the day’s heat.’ But answering one of them, he said, ‘Friend, I do you no injustice; did you not agree with me for a denarius? Take what is yours and go; I choose to give to this last even as to you. Have I not a right to do what I choose? Or are you envious because I am generous?’ Even so the last shall be first, and the first last; for many are called, but few are chosen.
DALL’OMELIA DI (FROM THE HOMILY BY) DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA – ORARI S.MESSA DI OGGI LUNEDI 14 FEBBRAIO 2022, ORE 8.00
DALL’OMELIA DI DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (*)(in prep.)
1 Cor 9:24-27; 10:1-5
Fratelli: Non sapete che quelli che corrono nello stadio, tutti invero corrono, ma uno solo riporta il premio? Così correte, in modo da guadagnarlo.
Matt 20:1-16
In quel tempo: Gesù disse ai suoi discepoli questa parabola: Il regno dei cieli è simile a un padre di famiglia, il quale andò di gran mattino a fissare degli operai per la sua vigna. Così saranno, ultimi i primi, e primi gli ultimi. Molti infatti saranno i chiamati, ma pochi gli eletti.
Oggi e’ la commemorazione di San Valentino martire.
Il vangelo e’ quello di domenica.
L’aspetto sorprendente, almeno apparentemente, e’ che gli ultimi lavoratori della vigna ricevano lo stesso salario dei primi. La chiesa primitiva si rese conto che il Vangelo non si diffondeva tra gli ebrei (i primi lavoratori della vigna) ma invece tra i gentili aveva molto successo (gli ultimi arrivati). Pochi sono gli eletti del popolo di Israele, molti sono invece gli ultimi, i gentili.
E’ una meraviglia che stupisce tutti noi, cristiani di origine gentile!
Anche San Paolo afferma che anche i nostri padri sono stati benedetti nel deserto. Ma non tutti piacquero a Dio. Cosi non dobbiamo pensare che saremo gli unici a salvarci!
Sia lodato Gesu Cristo! Sempre sia lodato!

FROM THE HOMILY BY DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**) (in prep.)
1 Cor 9: 24-27; 10: 1-5
Brothers: Don’t you know that those who run in the stadium, all indeed run, but only one gets the prize? So run, in order to earn it.
Matt 20: 1-16
At that time: Jesus told his disciples this parable: The kingdom of heaven is like a father of a family, who went early in the morning to set workers for his vineyard. Thus the first will be last, and the last first. In fact, many will be called, but few will be chosen.
Today is the commemoration of St. Valentine martyr.
The gospel is that of Sunday. The surprising aspect, at least apparently, is that the last workers of the vineyard receive the same salary as the first.
The early church realized that the gospel did not spread among the Jews (the first workers of the vineyard) but was very successful among the Gentiles (the newcomers).
Few are the elect of the people of Israel, but many are the last, the Gentiles. It is a wonder that amazes Christians of Gentile origin!
Even St. Paul says that our fathers too were blessed in the wilderness. But not all of them pleased God.
We must not think that we will be the only ones to save ourselves!
Praised be Jesus Christ! Always be praised!
