Evangelium
Matt 17:1-9
In illo témpore: Assúmpsit Iesus Petrum, et Iacóbum, et Ioánnem fratrem eius, et duxit illos in montem excélsum seórsum: et transfigurátus est ante eos. Et resplénduit fácies eius sicut sol: vestiménta autem eius facta sunt alba sicut nix. Et ecce, apparuérunt illis Moyses et Elías cum eo loquéntes. Respóndens autem Petrus, dixit ad Iesum: Dómine, bonum est nos hic esse: si vis, faciámus hic tria tabernácula, tibi unum, Móysi unum et Elíæ unum. Adhuc eo loquénte, ecce, nubes lúcida obumbrávit eos. Et ecce vox de nube, dicens: Hic est Fílius meus diléctus, in quo mihi bene complácui: ipsum audíte. Et audiéntes discípuli, cecidérunt in fáciem suam, et timuérunt valde. Et accéssit Iesus, et tétigit eos, dixítque eis: Surgite, et nolíte timére. Levántes autem óculos suos, néminem vidérunt nisi solum Iesum. Et descendéntibus illis de monte, præcépit eis Iesus, dicens: Némini dixéritis visiónem, donec Fílius hóminis a mórtuis resúrgat.
Gospel
Matt 17:1-9
At that time, Jesus took Peter, James and his brother John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves, and was transfigured before them. And His face shone as the sun, and His garments became white as snow. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking together with Him. Then Peter addressed Jesus, saying, Lord, it is good for us to be here. If You will, let us set up three tents here, one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elias. As he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased; hear Him. And on hearing it the disciples fell on their faces and were exceedingly afraid. And Jesus came near and touched them, and said to them, Arise, and do not be afraid. But lifting up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only. And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus cautioned them, saying, Tell the vision to no one, till the Son of Man has risen from the dead.
DALL’OMELIA DI (FROM THE HOMILY BY) DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA – ORARI S.MESSA DI SABATO 6 AGOSTO 2022 ORE 8.00
DALL’OMELIA DI DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (*,1)
2 Petri 1:16-19
Carissimi, noi abbiamo fatto conoscere la potenza e la venuta del Signore nostro Gesù Cristo, non seguendo favole ingegnose, ma dopo aver visto con i nostri occhi la sua grandezza. Egli, infatti, ricevette onore e gloria da Dio Padre, quando dalla gloria maestosa discese a lui una voce: «Questo è il mio figlio diletto, nel quale ho posto la ·mia compiacenza: ascoltatelo».
Matth 17:1-9
In quel tempo, Gesù prese con sé Pietro, Giacomo e Giovanni suo fratello, e li condusse in disparte, su un alto monte; e, davanti a loro, si trasfigurò. II suo volto si fece splendente come il sole, le sue vesti divennero candide come la neve.
Oggi celebriamo la festa della trasfigurazione di nostro Signore Gesu’ Cristo. La festa e’ stata istituita il 6 agosto per festeggiare la vittoria nella battaglia di Belgrado contro i turchi (1493).
Gli apostoli hanno potuto vedere Gesu’ trasfigurato per poter rafforzare la loro fede e mantenerla nel momento della morte in croce di Gesu’.
Anche per noi verra’ la croce! Chi resistera? Non chi si iulludera’ delle sicurezze terrene (certo occorre prepararsi, ma non si deve far conto sulle risorse materiali!). Solo chi avra’ conservato la fiammella della fede, proprio grazie alla trasfigurazione di Gesu’!
Abbiamo visto Gesu’ trasfigurato nella nostra coscienza, la dove la nostra mente e’ piu’ vicina a Dio! Non lasciamoci illudere dai successi e dal consenso mondani. E’ la nostra coscienza che deve prevalere, come ha ben detto John Henry Newman, santificato – non a caso – da Benedetto XVI nel 2010.
Sia lodato Cristo! Sempre sia lodato!

FROM THE HOMILY BY DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**,1) (in prep.)
t
2 Petri 1: 16-19 Dear friends, we have made known the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, not by following ingenious fables, but after having seen his greatness with our own eyes. Indeed, he received honor and glory from God the Father, when a voice descended to him from the majestic glory: “This is my beloved son, in whom I have placed my pleasure: listen to him”.
Matth 17: 1-9 At that time, Jesus took with him Peter, James and his brother John, and led them aside, on a high mountain; and, before them, he was transfigured. His face became as bright as the sun, his clothes became as white as snow.
Today we celebrate the feast of the transfiguration of our Lord Jesus Christ. The festival was established on August 6 to celebrate the victory in the battle of Belgrade against the Turks (1493).
The apostles were able to see Jesus transfigured in order to strengthen their faith and keep it at the moment of Jesus’ death on the cross.
The cross will come for us too!
Who will resist? Not those who take advantage of earthly security (of course you need to prepare, but you shouldn’t rely on material resources!).
Only those who have kept the flame of faith, thanks to the transfiguration of Jesus! We have seen Jesus transfigured in our conscience, where our mind is closest to God!
Let us not be deluded by worldly successes and consensus.
It is our conscience that must prevail, as John Henry Newman well said, sanctified – not surprisingly – by Benedict XVI in 2010.
Praised be Christ! Always be praised!
