EVANGELIUM E OMELIA\HOMILY:
Evangelium
Luc 4:23-30.
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus pharisǽis: Utique dicétis mihi hanc similitúdinem: Médice, cura teípsum: quanta audívimus facta in Caphárnaum, fac et hic in pátria tua. Ait autem: Amen, dico vobis, quia nemo prophéta accéptus est in pátria sua. In veritáte dico vobis, multæ víduæ erant in diébus Elíæ in Israël, quando clausum est cœlum annis tribus et ménsibus sex, cum facta esset fames magna in omni terra: et ad nullam illarum missus est Elías, nisi in Sarépta Sidóniæ ad mulíerem viduam. Et multi leprósi erant in Israël sub Eliséo Prophéta: et nemo eórum mundátus est nisi Náaman Syrus. Et repléti sunt omnes in synagóga ira, hæc audiéntes. Et surrexérunt, et eiecérunt illum extra civitátem: et duxérunt illum usque ad supercílium montis, super quem cívitas illórum erat ædificáta, ut præcipitárent eum. Ipse autem tránsiens per médium illórum, ibat.
Gospel
Luke 4:23-30
At that time, Jesus said to the Pharisees: You will surely quote me this proverb, ‘Physician, cure Yourself! Whatever things we have heard of as done in Capharnaum, do here also in Your own country!’ But He said, Amen I say to you, no prophet is acceptable in his own country. In truth I say to you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elias, when heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came over all the land; and to none of them was Elias sent, but rather to a widowed woman in Sarepta of Sidon. And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and not one of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian. And all in the synagogue, as they heard these things, were filled with wrath. And they rose up and put Him forth out of the town, and led Him to the brow of the hill, on which their town was built, that they might throw Him down headlong. But He, passing through their midst, went His way.
DALL’OMELIA DI (FROM THE HOMILY BY) DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA – ORARI S.MESSA DI OGGI LUNEDI 21 MARZ0 2022, ORE 8.00
DALL’OMELIA DI DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (*)
4 Reg 5:1-15
In quei giorni: Naaman, capo dell’esercito del re di Siria, era un uomo grande presso il suo padrone e onorato, perché per mezzo di lui il Signore aveva salvata la Siria; ma quest’uomo valoroso e ricco era lebbroso. Egli discese, e si lavò sette volte nel Giordano, secondo la parola dell’uomo di Dio, e la sua carne tornò come quella d’un piccolo bambino, e fu mondato. Allora tornò con tutto il suo seguito dall’uomo di Dio. Giunto e presentatosi a lui, disse: «Or so che non v’è altro Dio in tutta la terra. ma soltanto in Israele ).
Ps 78:8-9
V. Adiuva nos, Deus, salutáris noster: et propter glóriam nóminis tui, Dómine, líbera nos: et propítius esto peccátis nostris, propter nomen tuum.
Luc 4:23-30.
In quel tempo Gesù disse ai Farisei: «Certamente mi direte quel proverbio: “Medico, cura te stesso”: quanto udimmo essere avvenuto in Cafarnao, fallo anche qui nella tua patria».
Oggi e’ anche la festa di San Benedetto.
Benedetto da Norcia (Norcia, 480 circa – Montecassino, 21 marzo 547) è stato un grande monaco cristiano italiano, fondatore dell’Ordine di San Benedetto. Viene venerato come patrono d’Europa e diffusore della fede e della civilta’ cristiana in Europa.
Ma le fondamenta della societa’ Cristiana sono ora distrutte. Dai monasteri benedettini, or in gran parte distrutti, partiva l’annuncio del Vangelo e la cristianizzazione d’Europa. Cosi’ l’Europa in circa 1000 anni e’ stata cristianizzata.
San Benedetto ha distrutto gli idoli pagani, cominciando da se stesso. Infatti decise di abbandonare gli studi per una carriera pubblica e decise di diventare monaco, creando a questo scopo un’ordine monastico, quello benedettino.
Ma non dobbiamo disperare: ci sono gia’, seminati, i semi delle nuova Chiesa che germinano.
Come ai tempi di Elia ci fu la carestia e la siccita’ in Israele, Dio non portava piu’ le benedizioni in Israele. Anche Gesu’ viene rifiutato, come gia’ i profeti, nella sua terra.
Ma i Signore sta preparando il Suo nuovo popolo!
Sia lodato Gesu’ Cristo. Sempre sia lodato!

FROM THE HOMILY BY DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**)
4 Reg 5: 1-15 In those days: Naaman, chief of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master and honored, because through him the Lord had saved Syria; but this valiant and rich man was a leper. He went down, and washed himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh came back like that of a little child, and was cleansed. Then he returned with all his followers to the man of God. When he arrived and presented himself to him, he said: “Now I know that there is no other God in all the earth. but only in Israel).
Ps 78: 8-9 V. Adiuva nos, Deus, salutáris noster: et propter glóriam nóminis tui, Dómine, líbera nos: et propítius esto peccátis nostris, propter nomen tuum.
Luke 4: 23-30. At that time Jesus said to the Pharisees: «You will certainly tell me that proverb: ‘Doctor, cure yourself’: what we heard had happened in Capernaum, do it here in your homeland too».
Today is also the feast of San Benedetto. Benedict of Nursia (Norcia, about 480 – Montecassino, 21 March 547) was a great Italian Christian monk, founder of the Order of St. Benedict. He is venerated as the patron saint of Europe and diffuser of the Christian faith and civilization in Europe.
But the foundations of Christian society are now destroyed. From the Benedictine monasteries, now largely destroyed, the proclamation of the Gospel and the Christianization of Europe began.
Thus Europe in about 1000 years has been Christianized.
Saint Benedict destroyed pagan idols, starting with himself. In fact, he decided to abandon his studies for a public career and decided to become a monk, creating a monastic order, the Benedictine one, for this purpose.
But we must not despair: the seeds of the new Church are already germinating.
As in the time of Elijah there was famine and drought in Israel, God no longer brought blessings to Israel. Even Jesus is rejected, like the prophets already, in his land.
But the Lord is preparing His new people!
Praised be Jesus Christ. Always be praised!
