Luc 10:23-37
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis: Beáti óculi, qui vident quæ vos videtis. Dico enim vobis, quod multi prophétæ et reges voluérunt vidére quæ vos videtis, et non vidérunt: et audire quæ audítis, et non audiérunt. Et ecce, quidam legisperítus surréxit, tentans illum, et dicens: Magister, quid faciéndo vitam ætérnam possidébo? At ille dixit ad eum: In lege quid scriptum est? quómodo legis? Ille respóndens, dixit: Díliges Dóminum, Deum tuum, ex toto corde tuo, et ex tota ánima tua, et ex ómnibus víribus tuis; et ex omni mente tua: et próximum tuum sicut teípsum. Dixítque illi: Recte respondísti: hoc fac, et vives. Ille autem volens iustificáre seípsum, dixit ad Iesum: Et quis est meus próximus? Suscípiens autem Iesus, dixit: Homo quidam descendébat ab Ierúsalem in Iéricho, et íncidit in latrónes, qui étiam despoliavérunt eum: et plagis impósitis abiérunt, semivívo relícto. Accidit autem, ut sacerdos quidam descénderet eádem via: et viso illo præterívit. Simíliter et levíta, cum esset secus locum et vidéret eum, pertránsiit. Samaritánus autem quidam iter fáciens, venit secus eum: et videns eum, misericórdia motus est. Et apprópians, alligávit vulnera eius, infúndens óleum et vinum: et impónens illum in iuméntum suum, duxit in stábulum, et curam eius egit. Et áltera die prótulit duos denários et dedit stabulário, et ait: Curam illíus habe: et quodcúmque supererogáveris, ego cum redíero, reddam tibi. Quis horum trium vidétur tibi próximus fuísse illi, qui íncidit in latrónes? At ille dixit: Qui fecit misericórdiam in illum. Et ait illi Iesus: Vade, et tu fac simíliter.
Gospel
Luke 10:23-37
At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! For I say to you, many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and they have not seen it; and to hear what you hear, and they have not heard it. And behold, a certain lawyer got up to test Him, saying, Master, what must I do to gain eternal life? But He said to him, What is written in the Law? How do you read? He answered and said, You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and with your whole soul, and with your whole strength, and with your whole mind; and your neighbor as yourself. And He said to him, You have answered rightly; do this and you shall live. But he, wishing to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor? Jesus answered and said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell in with robbers, who after both stripping him and beating him went their way, leaving him half-dead. But, as it happened, a certain priest was going down the same way; and when he saw him, he passed by. And likewise a Levite also, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by. But a certain Samaritan as he journeyed came upon him, and seeing him, was moved with compassion. And he went up to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. And setting him on his own beast, he brought him to an inn and took care of him. And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I, on my way back, will repay you.’ Which of these three, in your opinion, proved himself neighbor to him who fell among the robbers? And he said, He who took pity on him. And Jesus said to him, Go and do also in like manner.
DALL’OMELIA DI (FROM THE HOMILY BY) DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA – DOMENICA 28 AGOSTO 2022, ORE 10.30:
DALL’OMELIA DI DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (*,1)
2 Cor 3:4-9.
Fratelli: Una tale fiducia verso Dio noi l’abbiamo in virtú di Cristo. Non che da noi stessi siamo atti a concepire alcunché, come se derivasse da noi stessi: ma la nostra attitudine viene da Dio, il quale ci ha resi idonei ad essere ministri della nuova alleanza: non mediante la lettera, ma mediante lo spirito: poiché la lettera uccide, lo spirito vivifica.
Luc 10:23-37
In quel tempo: Disse Gesú ai suoi discepoli: Beati gli occhi che vedono quello che voi vedete. Vi dico, infatti, che molti profeti e re vollero vedere le cose che vedete voi e non le videro, e udire le cose che udite voi e non le udirono. Ed ecco che un dottore della legge si alzò per tentare il Signore, e disse: Maestro, che debbo fare per ottenere la vita eterna?
Oggi il Vangelo comincia con una beatitudine. Beati voi che potete vedere il Messia!
Gli ebrei hanno avuto una grazia! Forse pochi di noi hanno visto Gesu’ in una visione mistica! E soprattutto sentire anche con il cuore la grazia collegata alla sua presenza!
Anche noi sentiamo la sua presenza quando facciamo la comunione e preghiamo intensamente! Gesu’ agisce con lo Spirito Santo! Gesu’ e’ vivo accanto e dentro di noi!
Gesu’ e’ presente nei tabernacoli (ma non tutti!).
La lettera della Legge (anche il nostro insegnamento) e’ importante, ma occorre lo Spirito! Occorre quindi un lavoro preparatorio alla grazia, senza la quale non e’ possibile un insegnamento efficace. Lo Spirito infatti da la Vita!
Anche la misericordia e’ importante (ama il prossimo tuo). Ma Gesu’ approfondisce. Fa l’esempio del viandante salvato dal Samaritano. Ma il sacerdote e il Levita non lo aiutano. Il Samaritano ha il comportamento giusto!
L’aver negato l’assistenza ai moribondi e’ un esempio esecrabile! Ma non deve essere l’esempio per noi! Il Samaritano e’ figura di Gesu’ Cristo che soccorre con olio e vino (i sacramenti) e lo porta all’albergo (la Chiesa).
Questo e’ lo scopo della Chiesa! Deve proseguire la misericordia che Gesu’ ha avuto verso tutti noi con la sua passione e morte in croce!
Sia lodato Gesu’ Cristo! Sempre sia lodato!

FROM THE HOMILY BY DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**,1)
2 Cor 3: 4-9. Brothers: We have such trust in God by virtue of Christ. Not that of ourselves we are capable of conceiving anything, as if it derives from ourselves: but our attitude comes from God, who has made us fit to be ministers of the new covenant: not by the letter, but by the spirit: since the letter kills, the spirit vivifies.
Luke 10: 23-37 At that time: Jesus said to his disciples: Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. I tell you, in fact, that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things you see and did not see them, and to hear the things you hear and did not hear them. And behold, a doctor of the law arose to tempt the Lord, and said: Teacher, what must I do to obtain eternal life?
Today the Gospel begins with a beatitude. Blessed are you who can see the Messiah! The Jews had a grace! Perhaps few of us have seen Jesus in a mystical vision! And above all to feel with the heart the grace connected to his presence!
We too feel his presence when we take communion and pray intensely! Jesus acts with the Holy Spirit! Jesus is alive beside and within us! Jesus is present in the tabernacles (but not all of them!).
The letter of the Law (also our teaching) is important, but the Spirit is needed! Therefore, a preparatory work for grace is needed, without which effective teaching is not possible.
The Spirit gives Life. Mercy is also important (love your neighbor). But Jesus deepens. He gives the example of the traveler saved by the Samaritan. But the priest and the Levite do not help him. The Samaritan has the right behavior! Denying assistance to the dying is an execrable example! But he must not be the example for us!
The Samaritan is the figure of Jesus Christ who helps with oil and wine (the sacraments) and takes him to the hotel (the Church).
This is the purpose of the Church! The mercy that Jesus had towards all of us with his passion death on the cross must continue!
Praised be Jesus Christ! Always be praised!
