Evangelium 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 DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (*)
Il Vangelo ci parla di un miracolo. Nella citta di Naim Gesu’ fa risorgere il figlio unico di una madre vedova (l’immagine della Chiesa sola e desolata). Gesu’ deve a dimostrare a noi e al suo popolo la sua potenza divina. Ma la nostra fede non e’ ancora abbastanza forte. Specialmente in questi tempi difficili.
La nostra epoca e’ quella della grande apostasia. Nella Bibbia stessa si parla della nostra epoca. E’ giunto il tempo della grande battaglia tra la Madre Celeste, la Madonna, e il male rappresentato da satana e l’anticristo. La chiesa, come la vedova, vive nel dolore e nella sofferenza per la perdita dei suo figlio unico (le anime perdute dei cristiani).
Per forza dobbiamo gettarci tra le braccia di Gesu’! Lui solo puo’ salvarci! Ma verra’ il tempo in cui il Signore passera per la nostra strada. E le cose cambieranno! E’ quindi il tempo di fare l’esame di coscienza, non badare ai difetti degli altri, ma ai nostri. Dobbiamo essere completamente pentiti delle nostre colpe. Chiediamo e preghiamo ogni giorno incessanetemente affinche’ la nostra fede si accresca. Solo riponendo la nostra fiducia in Cristo possiamo salvarci!
Sia lodato Gesu’ Cristo!

FROM THE HOMILY BY DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**)
The Gospel tells us of a miracle. In the city of Naim, Jesus resurrects the only child of a widowed mother (the image of the lonely and desolate Church). Jesus must demonstrate his divine power to us and to his people. But our faith is not yet strong enough.
Especially in these difficult times. Our age is that of the great apostasy. The Bible itself speaks of our age. The time has come for the great battle between the Heavenly Mother, Our Lady, and the evil represented by Satan and the antichrist.
The church, like the widow, lives in pain and suffering for the loss of her only child (the lost souls of Christians). We must necessarily throw ourselves into the arms of Jesus! He alone can save us! But the time will come when the Lord will pass our way.
And things will change! It is therefore time to do the examination of conscience, not to pay attention to the defects of others, but to our own. We must be completely repentant of our sins. We ask and pray ceaselessly every day for our faith to grow. Only by placing our trust in Christ can we be saved!
Praised be Jesus Christ!
