Evangelium
Ioann 2:13-25
In illo témpore: Prope erat Pascha Iudæórum, et ascéndit Iesus Ierosólymam: et invénit in templo vendéntes boves et oves et colúmbas, et nummulários sedéntes. Et cum fecísset quasi flagéllum de funículis, omnes eiécit de templo, oves quoque et boves, et nummulariórum effúdit æs et mensas subvértit. Et his, qui colúmbas vendébant, dixit: Auférte ista hinc, et nolíte fácere domum Patris mei domum negotiationis. Recordáti sunt vero discipuli eius, quia scriptum est: Zelus domus tuæ comédit me. Respondérunt ergo Iudæi, et dixérunt ei: Quod signum osténdis nobis, quia hæc facis? Respóndit Iesus et dixit eis: Sólvite templum hoc, et in tribus diébus excitábo illud. Dixérunt ergo Iudæi: Quadragínta et sex annis ædificátum est templum hoc, et tu in tribus diébus excitábis illud? Ille autem dicébat de templo córporis sui. Cum ergo resurrexísset a mórtuis, recordáti sunt discípuli eius, quia hoc dicébat, et credidérunt Scriptúræ, et sermóni, quem dixit Iesus. Cum autem esset Ierosólymis in Pascha in die festo, multi credidérunt in nómine eius, vidéntes signa eius, quæ faciébat. Ipse autem Iesus non credébat semetípsum eis, eo quod ipse nosset omnes, et quia opus ei non erat, ut quis testimónium perhibéret de hómine: ipse enim sciébat, quid esset in hómine.
Gospel
John 2:13-25
At that time, the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple men selling oxen, sheep and doves, and money-changers at their tables. And making a kind of whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, also the sheep and oxen, and He poured out the money of the changers and overturned the tables. And to them who were selling the doves He said, Take these things away, and do not make the house of My Father a house of business. And His disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of Your house has eaten Me up. The Jews therefore answered and said to Him, What sign do You show us, seeing that You do these things? In answer Jesus said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. The Jews therefore said, Forty-six years has this temple been in building, and will You raise it up in three days? But He was speaking of the temple of His body. When, accordingly, He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken. Now when He was at Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover, many believed in His name, seeing the signs that He was working. But Jesus did not trust Himself to them, in that He knew all men, and because He had no need that anyone should bear witness concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man.

DALL’OMELIA DI (FROM THE HOMILY BY) DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA – ORARI S.MESSA DI OGGI LUNEDI 28 MARZO 2022, ORE 8.00
DALL’OMELIA DI DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (*)
3 Reg 3:16-28.
In quei giorni vennero dal re Salomone due donne di mala vita, e presentatesi a lui, una disse: «Ti scongiuro, o mio signore! Abitando in una stessa casa con questa donna, io partorii presso di lei nella camera; e il terzo giorno dal mio parto, partorì anche lei.
Joann 2:13-25
In quel tempo: essendo prossima la Pasqua dei Giudei, Gesù salì a Gerusalemme. E trovò nel tempio venditori di bovi, di pecore e di colombe e cambiamonete ai loro banchi. E fatta una sferza di cordicelle, li scacciò tutti dal tempio con le pecore e i bovi, sparpagliò il danaro dei cambiamonete, e ne rovesciò i banchi. Disse poi ai venditori di colombe: «Portate via di qui queste cose e non fate della casa del Padre mio una casa di mercato».
In questo lunedi le letture ci mostrano la grandezza di Gesu Cristo.
Nella lettura biblica si parla della sapienza di Salomone. Che riesce a discernere la vera madre. E Salomone e’ figura di Gesu’ Cristo.
Nel Vangelo Gesu’ caccia i mercanti dal tempio con un fascio di corde. Si trattava di un mercato permesso dai rabbini. Ma l’epoca del tempio e’ finita. Il nuovo tempio e’ Gesu’ stesso!
A Lui possiamo rivolgerci direttamente. Non c’e’ vita cristiana se non ci rivolgiamo a Gesu’ in persona,
Il tempio di Gerusalemme era un luogo di compromessi.
Ma il nostro culto deve essere puro, un’offerta della nostra anima, che deve diventare una casa di preghiera.
Sia lodato Gesu’ Cristo! Sempre sia lodato!.

FROM THE HOMILY BY DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**)
3 Reg 3: 16-28. In those days two women of bad life came to King Solomon, and presented themselves to him, one said: «I adjure you, O my lord! Dwelling in the same house with this woman, I gave birth with her in the room; and on the third day after my birth, she also gave birth.
Joann 2: 13-25 At that time: as the Passover of the Jews was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And he found in the temple sellers of oxen, sheep and doves and money changers at their stalls. And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple with the sheep and the oxen, scattered the money of the money changers, and overturned their stalls. Then he said to the dove sellers: “Take these things away from here and don’t make my Father’s house a market house.”
On this Monday the readings show us the greatness of Jesus Christ.
The reading from the Bible speaks of Solomon’s wisdom. Who can discern the real mother.
And Salomon is the figure of Jesus Christ.
In the Gospel, Jesus chases the merchants out of the temple with a bundle of ropes. It was a market allowed by the rabbis. But the temple age is over.
The new temple is Jesus himself!
We can turn to him directly. There is no Christian life if we do not turn to Jesus himself,
The Jerusalem temple was a place of compromise. But our worship must be pure, an offering of our soul, which must become a house of prayer.
Praised be Jesus Christ. Always be praised!
