Evangelium Matt 18:23-35
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Assimilátum est regnum cœlórum hómini regi, qui vóluit ratiónem pónere cum servis suis. Et cum cœpísset ratiónem pónere, oblátus est ei unus, qui debébat ei decem mília talénta. Cum autem non habéret, unde rédderet, iussit eum dóminus eius venúmdari et uxórem eius et fílios et ómnia, quæ habébat, et reddi. Prócidens autem servus ille, orábat eum, dicens: Patiéntiam habe in me, et ómnia reddam tibi. Misértus autem dóminus servi illíus, dimísit eum et débitum dimísit ei. Egréssus autem servus ille, invénit unum de consérvis suis, qui debébat ei centum denários: et tenens suffocábat eum, dicens: Redde, quod debes. Et prócidens consérvus eius, rogábat eum, dicens: Patiéntiam habe in me, et ómnia reddam tibi. Ille autem nóluit: sed ábiit, et misit eum in cárcerem, donec rédderet débitum. Vidéntes autem consérvi eius, quæ fiébant, contristáti sunt valde: et venérunt et narravérunt dómino suo ómnia, quæ facta fúerant. Tunc vocávit illum dóminus suus: et ait illi: Serve nequam, omne débitum dimísi tibi, quóniam rogásti me: nonne ergo opórtuit et te miseréri consérvi tui, sicut et ego tui misértus sum? Et irátus dóminus eius, trádidit eum tortóribus, quoadúsque rédderet univérsum débitum. Sic et Pater meus cœléstis fáciet vobis, si non remiséritis unusquísque fratri suo de córdibus vestris.
Gospel Matt 18:23-35
At that time, Jesus spoke to His disciples this parable: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king who desired to settle accounts with his servants. And when he had begun the settlement, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. And as he had no means of paying, his master ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made. But the servant fell down and besought him, saying, ‘Have patience with me and I will pay you all!’ And moved with compassion, the master of that servant released him, and forgave him the debt. But as that servant went out, he met one of his fellow-servants who owed him a hundred denarii and he laid hold of him, and throttled him, saying, ‘Pay what you owe.’ His fellow-servant therefore fell down and began to entreat him, saying, ‘Have patience with me and I will pay you all.’ But he would not; but went away and cast him into prison until he should pay what was due. His fellow-servants therefore, seeing what had happened, were very much saddened, and they went and informed their master of what had taken place. Then his master called him, and said to him, ‘Wicked servant! I forgave you all the debt, because you entreated me. Should not you also have had pity on your fellow-servant, even as I had pity on you?’ And his master, being angry, handed him over to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. So also My heavenly Father will do to you, if you do not each forgive your brothers from your hearts.
DALL’OMELIA DI DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (*)
Le letture di oggi affermano due verita’ luminose della fede e del Le letture di oggi affermano due verita’ luminose della fede e del perdono ma anche della giustizia divine:
Confortámini in Dómino et in poténtia virtútis eius (Ephes 6:10-17).
Dixit Iesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Assimilátum est regnum cœlórum hómini regi, qui vóluit ratiónem pónere cum servis suis.
Nell’epistola San Paolo ci invita ad indossare l’armatura (ovvero la protezione) di Dio sotto la pioggia dei dardi. Questo appello e’ per ciascuno di noi, per tante persone che stanno vivendo questa battaglia aspra senza armatura, con indifferenza. Attenzione! Occorre essere protetti!
Questa battaglia non e’ contro gli uomini, ma contro la gerarchia del male inviata da satana e satana stesso! Ci troviamo contro i potenti di questo mondo! [NDR Questi dunque sono gli scorpioni di satana di cui parla l’Apocalisse]. E’ una battaglia che c’e’ sempre stata (anche ai tempi di San Paolo). Ma ora la battaglia e’ palese! Dobbiamo aprire gli occhi.
La battaglia e’ contro il signore di questo mondo, quindi satana stesso. Per questo dobbiamo indossare l’armatura di Dio, preparandoci per il giorno cattivo. Dobbiamo indossare la cintura della verita’. Dobbiamo discernere! Occorre essere amanti della verita’ in tutte le cose! Satana e’ la menzogna.
Occorre quindi, come San Giuseppe, essere persone giuste: non solo esercitare i diritti ma anche i doveri, specialmente verso le persone deboli.
Dobbiamo predicare il vangelo della pace, ma non del pacifismo [NDR:in realta’ pro-ateismo e pro-false religioni anticristiche]. E’ la pace di Cristo la via giusta!
E il nostro scudo sia la fede. Che molti stanno perdendo o hanno gia’ perso di fronte alle difficolta’. Se abbiamo fede nulla puo attaccarci.
E infine indossiamo l’elmo, ovvero la protezione fornitaci di Dio.
Usiamo solo la parola di Dio, che e’ la nostra spada a doppio taglio! [NDR nella sua immagine come Messia trionfante, nel capitolo 1 dell’AP di San Giovanni, Gesu’ e’ cosi’ descritto:
16Nella destra teneva sette stelle, dalla bocca gli usciva una
spada affilata a doppio taglio e il suo volto somigliava al sole
quando splende in tutta la sua forza.]
Venendo al Vangelo di oggi, Dio ha rimesso i nostri peccati e ci ha aperto le porte del Paradiso. Ma ci ha insegnato anche a come comportarci nella nostra vita. Occorre quindi essere misericordiosi come lui! Dobbiamo quindi imparare a perdonare, ma ovviamente non il peccatore impenitente, ma chi si pente veramenre!
Sia lodato Gesu’ Cristo! Sempre sia lodato!

FROM THE HOMILY BY DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**)
Today’s readings affirm two luminous truths of faith and forgiveness but also of divine justice:
Confortámini in Dómino et in poténtia virtútis eius (Ephes 6: 10-17).
Dixit Iesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Assimilátum est regnum cœlórum hómini regi, qui vóluit ratiónem pónere cum servis suis.
In the epistle St. Paul invites us to wear the armor (or protection) of God in the rain of darts. This appeal is for each of us, for many people who are experiencing this bitter battle without armor, with indifference.
Attention! You need to be protected! This battle is not against men, but against the hierarchy of evil sent by satan and satan himself! We stand against the mighty of this world! [Editor’s note: These are therefore the scorpions of satan mentioned in the Apocalypse].
It is a battle that has always been there (even in the time of St. Paul). But now the battle is clear! We have to open our eyes. The battle is against the lord of this world, therefore Satan himself.
For this we must wear the armor of God, preparing ourselves for the bad day. We must wear the belt of truth.
We must discern! It is necessary to be lovers of the truth in all things! Satan is the lie. It is therefore necessary, like Saint Joseph, to be just people: not only to exercise rights but also duties, especially towards weak people. We must preach the gospel of peace, but not of pacifism [Editor’s note: in reality pro-atheism and pro-false antichristic religions]. The peace of Christ is the right way!
And our shield be faith. That many are losing or have already lost in the face of difficulties. If we have faith, nothing can attack us. And finally we put on the helmet, or the protection provided by God.
We only use the word of God, which is our double-edged sword! [Editor’s note: in his image as the triumphant Messiah, in chapter 1 of the AP of St. John, Jesus is described as follows:
16In his right hand he had seven stars, one came out of his mouth sharp double-edged sword and his face resembled the sun when it shines in all its strength.]
Coming to today’s Gospel, God has forgiven our sins and opened the gates of Heaven for us. But He also taught us how to behave in our life. It is therefore necessary to be merciful like him!
We must therefore learn to forgive, but obviously not the unrepentant sinner, but the one who truly repents himself!
Praised be Jesus Christ! Always be praised!
