Evangelium
Ioann 10:22-38
In illo témpore: Facta sunt Encænia in Ierosólymis: et hiems erat. Et ambulábat Iesus in templo, in pórticu Salomónis. Circumdedérunt ergo eum Iudæi, et dicébant ei: Quoúsque ánimam nostram tollis? Si tu es Christus, dic nobis palam. Respóndit eis Iesus: Loquor vobis, et non créditis: Opera, quæ ego fácio in nómine Patris mei, hæc testimónium pérhibent de me: sed vos non créditis, quia non estis ex óvibus meis. Oves meæ vocem meam áudiunt: et ego cognósco eas, et sequúntur me: et ego vitam ætérnam do eis: et non períbunt in ætérnum, et non rápiet eas quisquam de manu mea. Pater meus quod dedit mihi, maius ómnibus est: et nemo potest rápere de manu Patris mei. Ego et Pater unum sumus. Sustulérunt ergo lápides Iudæi, ut lapidárent eum. Respóndit eis Iesus: Multa bona ópera osténdi vobis ex Patre meo, propter quod eórum opus me lapidátis? Respondérunt ei Iudæi: De bono ópere non lapidámus te, sed de blasphémia: et quia tu, homo cum sis, facis teípsum Deum. Respóndit eis Iesus: Nonne scriptum est in lege vestra: quia Ego dixi, dii estis? Si illos dixit deos, ad quos sermo Dei factus est, et non potest solvi Scriptúra: quem Pater sanctificávit, et misit in mundum, vos dicitis: Quia blasphémas: quia dixi, Fílius Dei sum? Si non fácio ópera Patris mei, nolíte crédere mihi. Si autem fácio, et si mihi non vultis crédere, opéribus crédite, ut cognoscátis et credátis, quia Pater in me est et ego in Patre.
Gospel
John 10:22-38
At that time, there took place at Jerusalem the feast of the Dedication; and it was winter. And Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s portico. The Jews therefore gathered round Him, and said to Him, How long do You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us openly. Jesus answered them, I tell you and you do not believe. The works that I do in the name of My Father, these bear witness concerning Me. But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them and they follow Me. And I give them everlasting life; and they shall never perish, neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. What My Father has given Me is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch anything out of the hand of My Father. I and the Father are one. The Jews therefore took up stones to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from My Father. For which of these works do you stone Me? The Jews answered Him, Not for a good work do we stone you, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a man, make Yourself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said you are gods?’ If He called them gods to whom the word of God was addressed – and the Scripture cannot be broken, – do you say of Him Whom the Father has made holy and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? If I do not perform the works of My Father, do not believe Me. But if I do perform them, and if you are not willing to believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me and I in the Father.
DALL’OMELIA DI (FROM THE HOMILY BY) DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA – ORARI S.MESSA DI MERCOLEDI 6 APRILE 2022, ORE 8.00
DALL’OMELIA DI DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (*)
Lev 19:1-2, 11-19, 25
In quei giorni il Signore parlò a Mosè dicendo: «Parla a tutta l’assemblea dei figli d’Israele così: Io sono il Signore Dio vostro.
Joann 10:22-38
In quel tempo: si faceva in Gerusalemme la festa della Dedicazione; ed era inverno. Gesù passeggiava. nel tempio, sotto il portico di Salomone. Gli si affollarono allora d’intorno i Giudei, e gli dissero: «Fino a quando terrai sospeso il nostro animo? Se tu sei il Cristo, diccelo apertamente». Rispose loro Gesù: «Ve l’ho detto, e non credete: le opere che faccio in nome del Padre mio, queste mi rendono testimonianza. Ma voi non credete, perché non siete delle mie pecorelle. Le mie pecorelle ascoltano la mia voce; io le conosco ed esse mi seguono. E dò loro la vita eterna e mai periranno, e nessuno le strapperà dalla mia mano.
Il Vangelo ci mostra i Giudei che accusano di bestemmia Gesu’. Si tratta di persone (i Giudei) che hanno conosciuto Gesu’ ma non hanno creduto chiudendo gli occhi. Non si poteva, infatti, non credere.
In questo modo Gesu’ ci insegna un criterio di discernimento: dai frutti riconoscerete se l’albero e’ buono.
Puo’, all’inizio non essere facile discernere se un frutto e’ buono. Ci sono infatti alberi selvatici che hanno frutti bellissimi, ma amarissimi. Occorre andare oltre le apparenze, oltre cio’ che l’uomo mostra. Occorre vedere le intenzioni profonde nel cuore.
Occorre quindi prudenza per scoprire cosa c’e’ dietro! Tuttavia i Giudei non fanno parte del gregge di Dio, pur essendo figli di Abramo e quindi avendo tutte le credenziali. Ma questo non basta, non bastano le apparenze!
Sia lodato Gesu’ Cristo! Sempre sia lodato!

FROM THE HOMILY BY DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**)
Lev 19: 1-2, 11-19, 25 In those days the Lord spoke to Moses saying: “Speak to the whole assembly of the children of Israel like this: I am the Lord your God.
Joann 10: 22-38 At that time: the feast of the Dedication was held in Jerusalem; and it was winter. Jesus was walking. in the temple, under the portico of Solomon. Then the Jews crowded around him, and said to him: “How long will you keep our souls suspended? If you are the Christ, tell us openly ». Jesus answered them: “I told you, and you do not believe: the works I do in my Father’s name, these bear witness to me. But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them and they follow me. And I give them eternal life and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them from my hand.
The Gospel shows us the Jews who accuse Jesus of blasphemy.
These are people (the Jews) who knew Jesus but did not believe by closing their eyes. In fact, it was impossible not to believe.
In this way Jesus teaches us a criterion of discernment: from the fruits you will recognize if the tree is good.
At first it may not be easy to discern if a fruit is good. In fact, there are wild trees that have beautiful but very bitter fruits.
Indeed, it is necessary to go beyond appearances, what man shows. It is necessary to see the intentions deep in the heart.
Therefore, prudence is needed to find out what’s behind it!
The Jews are not part of God’s flock, despite being children of Abraham and therefore all credentials.
But this is not enough, appearances are not enough!
Praised be Jesus Christ. Always be praised!
