Evangelium Luc 12:35-40
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis: Sint lumbi vestri præcíncti, et lucernæ ardéntes in mánibus vestris, et vos símiles homínibus exspectántibus dóminum suum, quando revertátur a núptiis: ut, cum vénerit et pulsáverit, conféstim apériant ei. Beáti servi illi, quos, cum vénerit dóminus, invénerit vigilántes: amen, dico vobis, quod præcínget se, et fáciet illos discúmbere, et tránsiens ministrábit illis. Et si vénerit in secúnda vigília, et si in tértia vigília vénerit, et ita invénerit, beáti sunt servi illi. Hoc autem scitóte, quóniam, si sciret paterfamílias, qua hora fur veníret, vigiláret útique, et non síneret pérfodi domum suam. Et vos estóte paráti, quia, qua hora non putátis, Fílius hóminis véniet.
Gospel Luke 12:35-40
At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, Let your loins be girt about and your lamps burning, and you yourselves like men waiting for their master’s return from the wedding; so that when he comes and knocks, they may straight-way open to him. Blessed are those servants whom the master, on his return, shall find watching. Amen I say to you, he will gird himself, and will make them recline at table, and will come and serve them. And if he comes in the second watch, and if in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those servants! But of this be assured, that if the householder had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would certainly have watched, and not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, because at an hour that you do not expect, the Son of Man is coming.
DALL’OMELIA DI DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (*)
Dice Gesu’: “I vostri fianchi sian cinti ed accese nelle vostre mani le lucerne, come coloro che aspettano il loro padrone quando torni da nozze, per aprirgli appena giunge e picchia” e conclude “E anche voi tenetevi pronti, perché, nell’ora che non pensate, verrà il Figlio dell’uomo.“
Dobbiamo quindi essere pronti ad aspettare il padrone che ritorna dalle nozze, con le lucerne accese della carita’. Ma tanti non lo aspettano proprio perche’ si sono dimenticati.
Occorre essere quindi sempre vigilanti.
Oggi ricordiamo san Bruno di Colonia, professore di teologia nella diocesi di Colonia. Raggiunti i cinquant’anni decide di ritirarsi a Chiaravalle. Ma anche quella vita non lo soddisfaceva. Chiede al vescovo Ugo di Grenoble di poter ritirarsi in un eremo. Ugo fa un sogno. E decide di assegnargli una sede nella Certosa, fondando l’Ordine dei Certosini. Anche dopo il CV2 l’Ordine ha mantenuto le sue regole di disciplina. Ma oggi sono rimasti in pochi consacrati a Maria.
Vi e’ un gruppo di certosini laici ed un altro di monaci eremiti.
Volendo seguire Gesu Cristo e restare uniti al vero papa Benedetto XVI diventiamo isolati, molti non la pensano come noi e se ne sono andati.
Il nostro cuore sanguina. Ma la solitudine e’ una benedizione di Dio. Abbiamo bisogno di rafforzare il legame con Dio e il cielo. Se la chiesa deve sopravvivere deve rinnovarsi dall’alto.
La solitudine e’ quindi e’ uno strumento molto valido. Proseguiamo dunque nel nostro cammino verso Dio!
Sia lodato Gesu’ Cristo! Sempre sia lodato!

FROM THE HOMILY BY DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**)
Jesus says: “Your hips are girded and the lamps are lit in your hands, like those who wait for their master when you return from the wedding, to open them as soon as he arrives and knocks” and concludes “And you too get ready, because, in the now that you do not think, the Son of man will come. ”
We must therefore be ready to wait for the master who returns from the wedding, with the lamps lit of charity. But many do not expect him precisely because they have forgotten. We must therefore always be vigilant.
Today we remember St Bruno of Cologne, professor of theology in the diocese of Cologne. When he reached the age of fifty he decided to retire to Chiaravalle.
But even that life did not satisfy him. He asks Bishop Hugh of Grenoble to be allowed to retire to a hermitage.
Ugo has a dream. And he decides to give him a seat in the high mountain village of Charterhouse, founding the Carthusian Order.
Even after VC2 (1) it (the Order) has kept its rules of discipline. But today there are few consecrated to Mary left. There is a group of lay Carthusians and another of hermit monks.
Wanting to follow Jesus Christ and remain united with the true Pope Benedict XVI we become isolated, many do not think like us and have gone away. Our heart bleeds.
But loneliness is a blessing from God. We need to strengthen the bond with God and heaven. If the church is to survive it must renew itself on the high. Loneliness is therefore a very valid tool.
So let’s continue on our way to God!
Praised be Jesus Christ! Always be praised!
