Luc 7:11-16
In illo témpore: Ibat Iesus in civitátem, quæ vocátur Naim: et ibant cum eo discípuli eius et turba copiósa. Cum autem appropinquáret portæ civitátis, ecce, defúnctus efferebátur fílius únicus matris suæ: et hæc vidua erat: et turba civitátis multa cum illa. Quam cum vidísset Dóminus, misericórdia motus super eam, dixit illi: Noli flere. Et accéssit et tétigit lóculum. – Hi autem, qui portábant, stetérunt. – Et ait: Adoléscens, tibi dico, surge. Et resédit, qui erat mórtuus, et cœpit loqui. Et dedit illum matri suæ. Accépit autem omnes timor: et magnificábant Deum, dicéntes: Quia Prophéta magnus surréxit in nobis: et quia Deus visitávit plebem suam.
Gospel
Luke 7:11-16
At that time, Jesus went to a town called Naim; and His disciples and a large crowd went with Him. And as He drew near the gate of the town, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a large gathering from the town was with her. And the Lord, seeing her, had compassion on her, and said to her, Do not weep. And He went up and touched the stretcher; and the bearers stood still. And He said, Young man, I say to you, arise. And he who was dead, sat up, and began to speak. And He gave him to his mother. But fear seized upon all, and they began to glorify God, saying, A great prophet has risen among us, and God has visited His people.
DALL’OMELIA DI (FROM THE HOMILY BY) DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA – DOMENICA 18SETTEMBRE 2022 ORE 10.30:
DALL’OMELIA DI DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**,1)
Gal 5:25-26; 6:1-10
Fratelli: Se viviamo mediante lo
spirito, camminiamo anche secondo lo spirito. Non cerchiamo la vana gloria, provocandoci e invidiandoci a vicenda. Fratelli, se avviene che un uomo cada in peccato, voi, che siete spirituali, riprendetelo con dolcezza, pensando a voi stessi, affinché non siate tentati anche voi. Porti l’uno il fardello dell’altro, e cosí adempirete la legge del Cristo.
Luc 7:11-16
In quel tempo: Gesú andava verso una città chiamata Naim, seguito dai suoi discepoli e da gran folla. E giunse vicino alla porta della città mentre si portava a seppellire il figlio unico di una vedova, la quale era accompagnata da un gran numero di persone. Vedutala, il Signore, mosso a compassione di lei, le disse: Non piangere. Si avvicinò alla bara e la toccò. Quelli che la portavano si fermarono Egli disse: Giovinetto, a te dico, alzati. Il morto si alzò a sedere, e cominciò a parlare, e Gesú lo rese a sua madre. Tutti furono presi da gran timore e glorificavano Dio, dicendo: Un profeta grande è apparso tra noi, e Dio ha visitato il suo popolo.
Oggi il vangelo parla della resurrezione del figlio adolescente della vedova. Siamo nel villaggio di Naim. Gesu’ dice che e’ venuto “per le pecore smarrite della casa di Israele.” La sua missione terrena si conclude in Palestina. Gesu’ si concentra su Israele, quindi prima sui suoi fratelli di fede.
Anche noi dobbiamo procedere cosi!
Ma Gesu’ si commuove all’incontrare la madre vedova addolorata! La virtu’ del compatire e’ ormai scomparsa dalla terra inaridita. La compassione e’ una cosa rara. Specialmente negli ospedali dove la cura dei sofferenti dovrebbe venire per prima.
La vedova ha perso il figlio, come il popolo che ha perso la fede e ha perso la presenza di Dio. Anche i profeti stessi non parlano piu’!
La falsa chiesa ha come capo un apostata. Dio non e’ piu’ presente nei loro falsi templi ormai sconsacrati dall’adorazione degli idoli pagani! Le chiese sono vuote, restano solo gli pseudo-fedeli ideologizzati!
C’e’ il vuoto della desolazione!
Il figlio morto e’ la chiesa morta!
Anche Gesu’ e’ morto, ma e’ anche risorto! Cosi anche la Chiesa deve passare nelle catacombe, come se fosse morta agli occhi dei nemici!
Ma la Chiesa risorgera’ grazie all’intervento di Gesu’ Cristo! Gesu’ ha compassione di noi!
Noi possiamo confidare nella compassione di Gesu’ Cristo! Basta un tocco del Signore e la Chiesa rinasce attraverso i suoi figli!
Non perdiamo la fede e non perdiamoci d’animo! La BVM ci aiuta!
Sia lodato Gesu’ Cristo! Sempre sia lodato!

FROM THE HOMILY BY DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**,1)
Gal 5: 25-26; 6: 1-10 Brothers: If we live by it spirit, we also walk according to the spirit. We do not seek vain glory by provoking and envying each other. Brothers, if a man happens to fall into sin, you, who are spiritual, take him back gently, thinking of yourselves, so that you too may not be tempted. You carry each other’s burden, and thus you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Luke 7: 11-16 At that time: Jesus was going to a city called Naim, followed by his disciples and a large crowd. And he came near the city gate as he went to bury the only child of a widow, who was accompanied by a large number of people. Seeing her, the Lord, moved to compassion for her, said to her: Do not weep. He walked over to the coffin and touched it. Those who carried it stopped. He said: Young boy, I say to you, get up. The dead man sat up, and began to speak, and Jesus gave him back to his mother. All were filled with great fear and glorified God, saying: A great prophet has appeared among us, and God has visited his people.
Today the gospel speaks of the resurrection of the widow’s teenage son. We are in the village of Naim. Jesus says that he came “for the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” His earthly mission ends in Palestine. Jesus focuses on Israel, so first on his brothers of faith.
We too must proceed like this! But Jesus is moved to meet his grieving widowed mother! The virtue of compassion has now disappeared from the parched earth. Compassion is a rare thing. Especially in hospitals where care for the sufferer should come first. The widow lost her son, like the people who lost their faith and lost God’s presence.
Even the prophets themselves no longer speak! The false church is headed by an apostate. God is no longer present in their false temples now desecrated by the worship of pagan idols! The churches are empty, only the ideologized pseudo-faithful remain!
There is the emptiness of desolation! The dead son is the dead church! Jesus is also dead, but he is also risen! So too the Church must pass into the catacombs, as if she were dead in the eyes of the enemies!
But the Church will rise again thanks to the intervention of Jesus Christ!
Jesus has compassion on us! We can trust in the compassion of Jesus Christ!
A touch of the Lord is enough and the Church is reborn through her children!
Let’s not lose faith and let’s not lose heart! The BVM helps us!
Praised be Jesus Christ! Always be praised!
