DALL’OMELIA DI DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**,1)
Coloro che commettono il male sono nemici di se stessi (I lettura), San Raffaele Arcangelo spiega il motivo della sua venuta. Consiglia a Tobia la sua compagna e caccia da Sara, la sua sposa, i demoni.
Nel Vangelo sale a Gerusalemme. Alla fonte di Betsaida molti malati attendono la grazia (probabilmente dall’Arcangelo Raffaele).
Sia lodato Gesu’ Cristo! Sempre sia lodato!

FROM THE HOMILY BY DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**,1)
Tob 12:7-15
In those days, the Angel Raphael said to Tobias: It is good to hide the secret of a king: but honorable to reveal and confess the works of God. Prayer is good with fasting and alms, more than to lay up treasures of gold: for alms delivers from death, and the same is that which purges away sins, and makes to find mercy and life everlasting. But they who commit sin and iniquity are enemies to their own soul. I discover then the truth to you, and I will not hide the secret from you. When you prayed with tears, and buried the dead, and left your dinner, and hid the dead by day in your house, and buried them by night, I offered your prayer to the Lord. And because you were acceptable to God, it was necessary that temptation should prove you. And now the Lord has sent me to heal you, and to deliver Sara your son’s wife from the devil. For I am the angel Raphael, one of the seven who stand before the Lord.
John 5:1-4
At that time, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is at Jerusalem, by the Sheepgate, a pool called in Hebrew Bethsaida, having five porticoes. In these were lying a great multitude of the sick, blind, lame, and those with shriveled limbs, waiting for the moving of the water. For an Angel of the Lord used to come down at certain times into the pool, and the water was troubled. And the first to go down into the pool after the troubling of the water was cured of whatever infirmity he had.
Those who commit evil are enemies of themselves (1st reading), Saint Raphael the Archangel explains the reason for his coming. He recommends his companion to Tobit and chases demons away from Sarah, his bride. In the Gospel he goes up to Jerusalem. At the source of Bethsaida many sick people await grace (probably from the Archangel Raphael).
Praised be Jesus Christ! Always be praised!
