Evangelium Matt 13:44-52
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Símile est regnum cœlórum thesáuro abscóndito in agro: quem qui invénit homo, abscóndit, et præ gáudio illíus vadit, et vendit univérsa, quæ habet, et emit agrum illum. Iterum símile est regnum cœlórum homini negotiatóri, quærénti bonas margarítas. Invénta autem una pretiósa margaríta, ábiit, et véndidit ómnia, quæ hábuit, et emit eam. Iterum símile est regnum cœlórum sagénæ, missæ in mare et ex omni génere píscium cóngreganti. 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 (*)
Il sabato e’ dedicato alla nostra Mamma Celeste.
Oggi ricordiamo Santa Edvige di Andechs (1174 –1243) fu duchessa di Slesia e Polonia e, rimasta vedova, divenne monaca cistercense a Trzebnica. Una delle grandi sante di Polonia (visse dopo San Francesco).
Diede esempio di grande sollecitudine nei confronti dei suoi sudditi più poveri ed ammalati (baciava le piaghe dei lebbrosi) per i quali fece erigere numerosi ospizi: nel 1202 fondò il monastero cistercense di Trzebnica e, rimasta vedova (1238), decise di ritirarvisi.
La sua vita e’ stata una continua ricerca del tesoro rappresentato dal regno dei cieli. Il campo prezioso per lei era il ritiro spirituale nella clausura.
Il regno dei cieli e’ simile a una perla preziosa. La vita cristiana e’ una conquista, dopo una ricerca attenta dell’ispirazione divina.
L’ultima fase e’ il nostro giudizio personale e quello universale.
Vedremo il pianto e lo stridore dei denti per quelli tra noi che hanno perso il tesoro prezioso che era alla nostra portata.
Sia lodato Gesu’ Cristo! Sempre sia lodato!

FROM THE HOMILY BY DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**)
Saturday is dedicated to our Heavenly Mother.
Today we remember Saint Hedwig of Andechs (1174 –1243) was Duchess of Silesia and Poland and, after being widowed, became a Cistercian nun in Trzebnica. One of the great saints of Poland (she lived after St. Francis).
She gave an example of great solicitude towards his poorest and sickest subjects (he kissed the wounds of lepers) for whom he built numerous hospices: in 1202 he founded the Cistercian monastery of Trzebnica and, being widowed (1238), decided to retire there.
Her life was a continuous search for the treasure represented by the kingdom of heaven.
The precious field for her was the spiritual retreat in the cloister. The kingdom of heaven is like a precious pearl.
Christian life is an achievement, after a careful search for divine inspiration.
The last phase is our personal and universal judgment. We will see the weeping and gnashing of teeth for those of us who have lost the precious treasure that was within our reach.
Praised be Jesus Christ! Always be praised!
