Luc 17:11-19
In illo témpore: Dum iret Iesus in Ierúsalem, transíbat per médiam Samaríam et Galilǽam. Et cum ingrederétur quoddam castéllum, occurrérunt ei decem viri leprósi, qui stetérunt a longe; et levavérunt vocem dicéntes: Iesu præcéptor, miserére nostri. Quos ut vidit, dixit: Ite, osténdite vos sacerdótibus. Et factum est, dum irent, mundáti sunt. Unus autem ex illis, ut vidit quia mundátus est, regréssus est, cum magna voce magníficans Deum, et cecidit in fáciem ante pedes eius, grátias agens: et hic erat Samaritánus. Respóndens autem Iesus, dixit: Nonne decem mundáti sunt? et novem ubi sunt? Non est invéntus, qui redíret et daret glóriam Deo, nisi hic alienígena. Et ait illi: Surge, vade; quia fides tua te salvum fecit.
Gospel
Luke 17:11-19
At that time, Jesus was going to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee. And as He was entering a certain village, there He met ten lepers, who stood afar off and lifted up their voice, crying, Jesus, Master, have pity on us. And when He saw them He said, Go, show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass as they were on their way, that they were made clean. But one of them, seeing that he was made clean, returned, with a loud voice glorifying God, and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks; and he was a Samaritan. But Jesus answered and said, Were not the ten made clean? But where are the nine? Has no one been found to return and give glory to God, except this foreigner? And He said to him, Arise, go your way, for your faith has saved you.
DALL’OMELIA DI (FROM THE HOMILY BY) DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA – DOMENICA 4 SETTEMBRE 2022, ORE 10.30:
DALL’OMELIA DI DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (*,1)
Gal 3:16-22
Fratelli: Le promesse sono state fatte ad Abramo e al suo discendente. Non dice: Alle sue posterità, come se fossero molte, ma come se fosse una sola: Alla tua posterità, che è Cristo. Ora io vi dico: la legge che è stata fatta quattrocento trent’anni dopo, non può render vano un patto confermato da Dio e render vana la promessa. Infatti, se l’eredità viene dalla legge, non è piú in virtú della promessa: ma Dio donò ad Abramo per promessa.
Luc 17:11-19
In quel tempo: Recandosi Gesú a Gerusalemme, attraversava la Samaria e la Galilea. Entrando in un villaggio, gli corsero incontro dieci lebbrosi, che si fermarono distanti e, alzando la voce, esclamarono: Gesú, Maestro, abbi pietà di noi.
Le letture di parlano della fede, il tesoro che abbiamo nel nostro cuore. E’ un dono che sara’ sempre piu’ importante!
Ci verra’ detto: “La tua fede ti ha salvato!”
Ma dobbiamo camminare bene. Il Signore ci sta provando attraverso eventi anche spiacevoli per noi, non voluti ma permessi da Dio.
Non si e’ infatti salvi per la Legge di Mose! Serve solo ad illuminare le coscienze. Ma ci salviamo per la fede in Gesu’ Cristo! La vita viene dalla fede!
La fede serve a ricevere i doni dello Spirito, lo Spirito che ha creato la vita nell’universo, Spirito che ci fa rinascere come creature nuove destinate alla vita eterna.
Lo Spirito Santo abiti in noi! Ma occorre la fede in noi!
L’episodio dei 10 lebbrosi nel Vangelo ci dice che 9 sono stati mondati (hanno seguito la Legge Mosaica), ma quello che torna indietro a ringraziare Gesu’ si e’ salvato (ha seguito l’insegnamento di Cristo!)! Torna inginocchiandosi davanti a Gesu’, riconoscendolo come Dio (ci si inginocchia solo davanti a Dio!).
Occorre quindi gratitudine a Gesu’ che ci salva! Dobbiamo sempre ringraziarlo per ogni grazia! Vivere in questo modo e’ molto diverso dalla pura obbedienza alla Legge di Mose!
Questa e’ la vera fede che salva!
Sia lodato Gesu’ Cristo! Sempre sia lodato!

FROM THE HOMILY BY DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**,1)
Gal 3: 16-22 Brothers: The promises were made to Abraham and his descendant. He does not say: To his posterity, as if they were many, but as if it were one: To your posterity, which is Christ. Now I tell you: the law that was made four hundred and thirty years later cannot make a covenant confirmed by God useless and make the promise useless. In fact, if the inheritance comes from the law, it is no longer by virtue of the promise: but God gave to Abraham as a promise.
Luke 17: 11-19 At that time: When Jesus went to Jerusalem, he went through Samaria and Galilee. As he entered a village, ten lepers ran to meet him, stopped at a distance and, raising their voices, exclaimed: Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
The readings speak of faith, the treasure we have in our hearts. It is a gift that will be more and more important!
We will be told: “Your faith has saved you!”
But we have to walk well.
The Lord is trying us through events that are also unpleasant for us, unwanted but permitted by God. In fact, one is not saved by the Law of Moses! It only serves to enlighten consciences. But we are saved by faith in Jesus Christ!
Life comes from faith! Faith serves to receive the gifts of the Spirit, the Spirit who created life in the universe, the Spirit who makes us reborn as new creatures destined for eternal life. The Holy Spirit dwells in us! But faith in us is needed!
The episode of the 10 lepers in the Gospel tells us that 9 were cleansed (they followed the Mosaic Law), but the one who goes back to thank Jesus is saved (he followed Christ’s teaching!)! He returns kneeling before Jesus, recognizing him as God (one kneels only before God!).
We therefore need gratitude to Jesus who saves us! We must always thank him for every grace! I lived in this way is very different from pure obedience to the Law of Moses!
This is the true faith that saves!
Praised be Jesus Christ! Always be praised!
