Evangelium
Luc 12:35-40
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis: Sint lumbi vestri præcincti, et lucérnæ ardéntes in mánibus vestris, et vos símiles homínibus exspectántibus dóminum suum, quando revertátur a núptiis: ut, cum vénerit et pulsáverit, conféstim apériant ei. Beáti servi illi, quos, cum vénerit dóminus, invénerit vigilántes: amen, dico vobis, quod præcínget se, et fáciet illos discúmbere, et tránsiens ministrábit illis. Et si vénerit in secúnda vigília, et si in tértia vigília vénerit, et ita invénerit, beáti sunt servi illi. Hoc autem scitóte, quóniam, si sciret paterfamílias, qua hora fur veníret, vigiláret útique, et non síneret pérfodi domum suam. Et vos estóte paráti, quia, qua hora non putátis, Fílius hóminis véniet.
Gospel
Luke 12:35-40
At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, Let your loins be girt about and your lamps burning, and you yourselves like men waiting for their master’s return from the wedding; so that when he comes and knocks, they may straightway open to him. Blessed are those servants whom the master, on his return, shall find watching. Amen I say to you, he will gird himself, and will make them recline at table, and will come and serve them. And if he comes in the second watch, and if in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those servants! But of this be assured, that if the householder had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would certainly have watched, and not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, because at an hour that you do not expect, the Son of Man is coming.
DALL’OMELIA DI (FROM THE HOMILY BY) DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA – ORARI S.MESSA DI GIOVEDI 4 AGOSTO 2022 ORE 8.00
DALL’OMELIA DI DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (*,1)
2 Tim 4:1-8.
Carissimo: Ti scongiuro davanti a Dio e a Gesù Cristo, che ha da venire a giudicare i vivi ed i morti, per la sua venuta e per il suo regno: predica la Parola, insisti a tempo opportuno e fuori tempo. Riprendi, esorta, sgrida con paziente insegnamento; perché verrà tempo in cui la gente non potrà sopportare la sana dottrina, ma per assecondare la propria passione e per prurito di novità, si creerà una folla di maestri, e per non ascoltare la verità andrà dietro a favole.
Luc 12:35-40
In quel tempo: Disse Gesù ai suoi discepoli: «I vostri fianchi sian cinti ed accese nelle vostre mani le lucerne, come coloro che aspettano il loro padrone quando torni da nozze, per aprirgli appena giunge e bussa.
Oggi celebriamo S.Domenico vissuto tra il dodicesimo e il tredicesimo secolo. Combatte’ l’eresia degli albigesi (si ritenevano puri sentendosi in diritto di perseguitare i cristiani). Visse una vita di preghiera. S.Domenico riusci’ a sconfiggere l’eresia. Il nome domenicano indica il cane che abbaia annunciando la verita! E’ proprio cosi’: i dominicani devono alzare la voce davanti ai pericoli. Devono portare la fiamma della verita’ e l’ardore dello Spirito Santo!
Il suo esempio dovrebbe essere seguito oggi da molti pastori!
Preghiamo per l’intercessione di San Domenico affinche’ cio’ accada!
Sia lodato Cristo! Sempre sia lodato!

FROM THE HOMILY BY DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**,1)
2 Tim 4: 1-8. Dearest: I adjure you before God and Jesus Christ, who has to come to judge the living and the dead, for his coming and for his kingdom: preach the Word, insist at the right time and out of time. Reprimand, exhort, scold with patient teaching; because the time will come when people will not be able to bear sound doctrine, but to indulge their passion and out of itch for novelty, a crowd of teachers will be created, and in order not to listen to the truth they will go after fables.
Luke 12: 35-40 At that time: Jesus said to his disciples: «Your hips are girded and the lamps are lit in your hands, like those who await their master when you return from your wedding, to open him as soon as he comes and knocks.
Today we celebrate S. Domenico who lived between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. He fougth the heresy of the Albigensians (they considered themselves pure, feeling entitled to persecute Christians). He lived a life of prayer.
St. Dominic managed to defeat the heresy.
The Dominican name indicates the dog that barks announcing the truth!
That’s right: Dominicans must raise their voices in the face of dangers.
They must carry the flame of truth and the ardor of the Holy Spirit!
His example should be followed by many pastors today!
Let us pray for the intercession of St. Dominic for this to happen!
Praised be Christ! Always be praised!
