EVANGELIUM E OMELIA\HOMILY:
Matt 20:17-28
In illo témpore: Ascéndens Iesus Ierosólymam, assúmpsit duódecim discípulos secréto, et ait illis: Ecce, ascéndimus Ierosólymam, et Fílius hóminis tradétur princípibus sacerdótum, et scribis, et condemnábunt eum morte, et tradent eum Géntibus ad illudéndum, et flagellándum, et crucifigéndum, et tértia die resúrget. Tunc accéssit ad eum mater filiórum Zebedǽi cum fíliis suis, adórans et petens áliquid ab eo. Qui dixit ei: Quid vis? Ait illi: Dic, ut sédeant hi duo fílii mei, unus ad déxteram tuam et unus ad sinístram in regno tuo. Respóndens autem Iesus, dixit: Nescítis, quid petátis. Potéstis bíbere cálicem, quem ego bibitúrus sum? Dicunt ei: Póssumus. Ait illis: Cálicem quidem meum bibétis: sedére autem ad déxteram meam vel sinístram, non est meum dare vobis, sed quibus parátum est a Patre meo. Et audiéntes decem, indignáti sunt de duóbus frátribus. Iesus autem vocávit eos ad se, et ait: Scitis, quia príncipes géntium dominántur eórum: et qui maióres sunt, potestátem exércent in eos. Non ita erit inter vos: sed quicúmque volúerit inter vos maior fíeri, sit vester miníster: et qui volúerit inter vos primus esse, erit vester servus. Sicut Fílius hóminis non venit ministrári, sed ministráre, et dare ánimam suam, redemptiónem pro multis.
Gospel
Matt 20:17-28
At that time, as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the Scribes; and they will condemn Him to death, and will deliver Him to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified; and on the third day He will rise again. Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Him with her sons; and worshipping, she made a request of Him. He said to her, What do you want? She said to Him, Command that these my two sons may sit, one at Your right hand and one at Your left hand, in Your kingdom. But Jesus answered and said, You do not know what you are asking for. Can you drink of the cup of which I am about to drink? They said to Him, We can. He said to them, Of My cup you shall indeed drink; but as for sitting at My right hand and at My left, that is not Mine to give you, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by My Father. And when the ten heard this, they were indignant at the two brothers. But Jesus called them to Him, and said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. Not so is it among you. On the contrary, whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant; and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave; even as the Son the Man has not come to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.
DALL’OMELIA DI (FROM THE HOMILY BY) DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA – MERCOLEDI 8 MARZO 2023 ORE 18.00:
DALL’OMELIA DI DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**,1)
3 Reg 17:8-16
In quei giorni ad Elia Tesbite fu diretta la parola del Signore con queste parole: «Levati e va a Sarepta dei Sidoni, ove dimorerai. Ecco! ho colà ordinato ad una vedova di nutrirti». Elia si levò e andò a Sarepta. Giunto alla porta della città, vistasi dinanzi una donna vedova che raccoglieva legna, la chiamò e le disse: «Di grazia, dammi in un vaso un po’ d’acqua per bere». Mentre quella andava a prenderla, le gridò dietro e disse: «Portami, ti prego, nelle tue mani anche un tozzo di pane».
Matt 23:1-12
In quel tempo: Gesù volgendosi alle turbe e ai discepoli, disse: «Sulla cattedra di Mosè si sono seduti gli Scribi e i Farisei. Osservate e fate adunque tutto ciò che vi diranno; ma non fate come essi operano, ché dicono e non fanno. Difatti, legano pesi grandi e insopportabili e ne caricano le spalle della gente; ma essi non li vogliono neppure muovere con un dito. Fanno poi tutte le loro opere per essere veduti: perciò portan più larghe le filatterie, più lunghe le frange; e amano i primi posti nei conviti, i primi seggi nelle sinagoghe ed i saluti nelle piazze ed essere dalla gente chiamati maestri. Ma voi non vogliate essere chiamati maestri; perché uno solo è il vostro Maestro, voi siete tutti fratelli. Né chiamate alcuno padre sulla terra; perché uno solo è il vostro Padre, quello celeste. Né fatevi chiamar guide; perché l’unica vostra guida è il Cristo. Chi è maggiore tra di voi, sarà vostro ministro. Chi si esalta sarà umiliato, chi si umilia sarà esaltato».
Il Vangelo e’ molto chiaro. Metre Gesu’ annuncia che va a morire a Gerusalemme, la madre di Giacomo e Giovanni chiede i posti migliori per loto. Si tratta di un forte contrasto tra la misericordia di Dio e l’ambizione della madre per i propri figli Giacomo e Giovanni appunto.
Questo tipo di ambizioni e’ una piaga della nostra umanita: cercare i posti migliori! Mentre invece dobbiamo porci il problema: cosa possiamo fare noi per Gesu’ Cristo!
Sia lodato Gesu’ Cristo! Sempre sia lodato!

FROM THE HOMILY BY DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**,1)
3 Regs 17:8-16 In those days the word of the Lord was directed to Elia Thesbite with these words: «Get up and go to Sarepta of the Sidonians, where you will dwell. Here you are! I ordered a widow there to feed you.” Elijah got up and went to Sarepta. Arriving at the city gate, he saw in front of him a widow who was collecting wood, he called her and said to her: “Please, give me a little water in a vase to drink”. While she was going to get it, she shouted after her and said: “Bring me, please, also a loaf of bread in your hands.”
Matt 23:1-12 At that time: Jesus turning to the crowds and the disciples, said: «The Scribes and the Pharisees are seated on the chair of Moses. So observe and do everything they tell you; but do not do as they do, for they say and do not. In fact, they tie heavy and unbearable weights and put them on people’s backs; but they don’t even want to move them with a finger. Then they do all their work to be seen: therefore they wear the phylacteries wider, the fringes longer; and they love the first places in the banquets, the first seats in the synagogues and greetings in the squares and to be called masters by the people. But you do not want to be called masters; because only one is your Master, you are all brothers. Nor do you call any father on earth; because only one is your Father, the heavenly one. Nor let yourself be called guides; because your only guide is Christ. Whoever is greatest among you shall be your minister. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
The Gospel is very clear. As Jesus announces that he is going to die in Jerusalem, the mother of James and John asks for the best places for them. It is a strong contrast between God’s mercy and the mother’s ambition for her sons James and John. This kind of ambition is a plague on our humanity: looking for the best places! While instead we have to ask ourselves the problem: what can we do for Jesus Christ!
Praised be Jesus Christ! Always be praised!
