Matt 13:44-52
Iterum símile est regnum cœlórum hómini negotiatóri, quærénti bonas margarítas. Invénta autem una pretiósa margaríta, ábiit, et véndidit ómnia, quæ hábuit, et emit eam. íterum símile est regnum cœlórum sagénæ, missæ in mare et ex omni génere píscium cóngregant! Quam, cum impléta esset, educéntes, et secus litus sedéntes, elegérunt bonos in vasa, malos autem foras misérunt. Sic erit in consummatióne sǽculi: exíbunt Angeli, et separábunt malos de médio iustórum, et mittent eos in camínum ignis: ibi erit fletus et stridor déntium. Intellexístis hæc ómnia? Dicunt ei: Etiam. Ait illis: Ideo omnis scriba doctus in regno cœlórum símilis est hómini patrifamílias, qui profert de thesáuro suo nova et vétera.
Gospel
Matt 13:44-52
At that time, Jesus spoke this parable to His disciples: The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field; he who finds it hides it, and in his joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls. When he finds a single pearl of great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net cast into the sea that gathered in fish of every kind. When it was filled, they hauled it out, and sitting down on the beach, they gathered the good fish into vessels, but threw away the bad. So will it be at the end of the world. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from among the just, and will cast them into the furnace of fire, where there will be the weeping, and the gnashing of teeth. Have you understood all these things? They said to Him, Yes. And He said to them, So then, every Scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings forth from his storeroom things new and old.

DALL’OMELIA DI DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**,1)
2 Cor 10:17-18; 11:1-2
Fratelli, «chi si vanta, si vanta nel Signore»: poiché non chi si raccomanda da sé è approvato, bensì colui che il Signore raccomanda. Vorrei che voi sopportaste un po’ di stoltezza da parte mia . Ma sì, sopportatemi; poiché sono geloso di voi, della gelosia di Dio, avendovi fidanzati ad un solo sposo, come vergine casta da presentare a Cristo.
Matt 13:44-52
In quel tempo Gesù disse ai suoi discepoli questa parabola: «È simile il regno dei cieli ad un tesoro nascosto in un campo, che un uomo trovatolo, tiene celato, e, tutto giulivo dell’accaduto, va a vendere quel che ha e compra quel campo.
Oggi celebrimao la festa di Santa Lucia che ha offerto la sua vita e la sua vberginita’ in sacrificio a Dio nel martirio. E proprio come dice il Vangelo, Lucia ha trovato come ricompensa, il tesoro che per lei era Gesu Cristo. della corona della salvezza Le due prove cha ha superato sono la sua scelta di conservare la virginita, con alternativa di accedere a un matrimonio con la violenza, e la fede in alternativa a venir risparmiata dalla morte per decapitazione. Ha dunque scelto il martirio, trovando pero’ il tesoro che dura per l’eternita.
La prima lettura ci dice che non dobbiamo gloriarci di noi stessi ne’ attribuirci titoli di merito da soli. Anche questo e’ un insegnamento molto bello!
Possiamo pensare a questi santi che dopo la morte, per il loro sacrificio, sono diventati famosi in tutto il mondo. La loro devozione e’ vastissima anche oggi dopo tanti secoli e vivissima.
Non chi raccomanda se stesso, dunque, ottiene la fama. Ma solo chi ne e’ riconosciuto dal Signore!
Il regno dei cieli e’ un tesoro prezioso. Gli angeli, alla fine dei tempi, separeranno i giusti dai malvagi. Vale quindi molto piu un sacrificio offerto anche al nostro prossimo, per amore del Signore!
Sia lodato Gesu’ Cristo! Sempre sia lodato!

FROM THE HOMILY BY DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**,1)
2 Cor 10:17-18; 11:1-2 Brethren, “he who boasts, boasts in the Lord”: for it is not the one who recommends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord recommends. I would like you to put up with a little foolishness on my part. But yes, bear with me; for I am jealous of you, with the jealousy of God, having betrothed you to one husband, as a chaste virgin to be presented to Christ.
Matt 13:44-52 At that time, Jesus told his disciples this parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man, having found it, keeps hidden and, rejoicing at what has happened, goes to sell what he has and buys that field.
Today we celebrate the feast of Saint Lucia who offered her life and her virginity in sacrifice to God in martyrdom. And just as the Gospel says, Lucia found as a reward, the treasure that was Jesus Christ for her. of the crown of salvation The two tests she has passed are her choice to keep her virginity, with the alternative of entering into a marriage with violence, and her faith with the alternative of being spared from death by decapitation. He therefore chose martyrdom, but finding the treasure that lasts for eternity. The first reading tells us that we must not boast of ourselves or attribute titles of merit to ourselves. This is also a very beautiful teaching! We can think of these saints who, after their deaths, became famous all over the world for their sacrifice. Their devotion is very vast even today after so many centuries and very lively. Not whoever recommends himself, therefore, gets fame. But only those who are recognized by the Lord! The kingdom of heaven is a precious treasure. The angels, at the end of time, will separate the righteous from the wicked. Therefore, a sacrifice offered also to our neighbor is worth much more, for the love of the Lord!
Praised be Jesus Christ! Always be praised!
