And immediately his mouth (Zachary) was opened and his tongue loosed, and he began to speak, blessing God.

Evangelium
Luc 1:57-68
Elísabeth implétum est tempus pariéndi, et péperit fílium. Et audiérunt vicíni et cognáti eius, quia magnificávit Dóminus misericórdiam suam cum illa, et congratulabántur ei. Et factum est in die octávo, venérunt circumcídere púerum, et vocábant eum nómine patris sui Zacharíam. Et respóndens mater eius, dixit: Nequáquam, sed vocábitur Ioánnes. Et dixérunt ad illam: Quia nemo est in cognatióne tua, qui vocátur hoc nómine. Innuébant autem patri eius, quem vellet vocári eum. Et póstulans pugillárem, scripsit, dicens: Ioánnes est nomen eius. Et miráti sunt univérsi. Apértum est autem illico os eius et lingua eius, et loquebátur benedícens Deum. Et factus est timor super omnes vicínos eórum: et super ómnia montána Iudææ divulgabántur ómnia verba hæc: et posuérunt omnes, qui audíerant in corde suo, dicéntes: Quis, putas, puer iste erit? Etenim manus Dómini erat cum illo. Et Zacharías, pater eius, repletus est Spíritu Sancto, et prophetávit, dicens: Benedíctus Dóminus, Deus Israël, quia visitávit et fecit redemptiónem plebis suæ.
Gospel
Luke 1:57-68
Elizabeth’s time was fulfilled that she should be delivered, and she brought forth a son. And her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified His mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her. And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to call him by his father’s name, Zachary. And his mother answered and said, Not so, but he shall be called John. And they said to her, There is none of your kindred that is called by this name. And they kept inquiring by signs of his father what he would have him called. And asking for a writing-tablet he wrote the words, John is his name. And they all marveled. And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he began to speak, blessing God. And fear came on all their neighbors; and all these things were spoken abroad in all the hill country of Judea. And all who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, What then will this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him. And Zachary his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying, Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and wrought redemption for His people.
DALL’OMELIA DI (FROM THE HOMILY BY) DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA – ORARI S.MESSA DI SABATO 25 GIUGNO 2022, ORE 8.00:
DALL’OMELIA DI DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (*,1)
Isa 49:1-3; 49:5-7
Ascoltate, o isole, e state attenti o popoli lontani: il Signore mi chiamò fin dalle viscere di mia madre, fin dal suo seno si ricordò del mio nome. E rese la mia bocca pari a una spada tagliente: mi protesse sotto l’ombra delle sue mani, mi foggiò come freccia acuta e mi ripose nella sua faretra.
Luca 1:57-68
Si compí il tempo in cui Elisabetta doveva partorire, ed ella partorí un figlio. I vicini e i parenti, avendo udito che il Signore aveva mostrata la sua misericordia verso di lei, se ne congratulavano. Dopo otto giorni, vennero a circoncidere il bambino, e volevano chiamarlo Zaccaria, come suo padre. Ma sua madre intervenne, dicendo: No, invece avrà nome Giovanni
Oggi celebriamo la festa di San Giovanni Battista. Si tratta di una grande gioia per Elisabetta e Zaccaria.
Erano una famiglia sterile ma il Signore ha fatto loro grazia! C’e’ una profonda riconoscenza verso Dio. Per questo lo chiamano Giovanni. E Zaccaria riprende a parlare. La grazia non e’ solo per lui e la sua famiglia ma per tutto Israele. Perche Giovanni annuncera’ l’avvento di Gesu’.
E lo riconoscera’ dicendo “Ecco l’Agnello di Dio”.
I padri della chiesa hanno notato che con la festivita’ di oggi la luce del giorno comincia a calare, mentre con il Natale la luce si allunga. Cio’ significa che Giovanni deve dare luogo alla luce di Gesu’!
Il trionfo del Cuore Immacolato di Maria significa l’inizio del Regno di Dio! Per il suo popolo il Signore si annuncera’ in modo particolare!
Sia lodato Gesu’ Cristo! Sempre sia lodato!

FROM THE HOMILY BY DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**,1)
Isa 49: 1-3; 49: 5-7 Listen, you islands, and be careful, you distant peoples: the Lord called me from my mother’s womb, remembered my name from her womb. And he made my mouth like a sharp sword: he protected me under the shadow of his hands, shaped me like a sharp arrow and placed me in his quiver.
Luke 1: 57-68 The time came when Elizabeth was to give birth, and she bore a son. Her neighbors and relatives, having heard that the Lord had shown his mercy to her, congratulated her. After eight days, they came to circumcise the child, and they wanted to call him Zechariah, like his father. But his mother intervened, saying: No, he will be named John instead.
Today we celebrate the feast of St. John the Baptist. It is a great joy for Elizabeth and Zacharias. They were a sterile family but the Lord gave grace! There is a deep gratitude to God, which is why they call him John. And Zaccaria resumes speaking.
Grace is not just for him and his family but for all of Israel. Because John will announce the advent of Jesus ” And he recognizes this by saying “Behold the Lambs of God”.
The church fathers noted that with today’s holiday the light of day begins to wane, while with Christmas the light gets longer. This means that John must give rise to the light of Jesus!
The triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary means the beginning of the Kingdom of God!
The Lord will announce himself in a particular way for his people!
Praised be Jesus Christ. Always be praised!
