Evangelium Luc 21:9-19
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis: Cum audieritis proelia et seditiónes, nolíte terréri: opórtet primum hæc fíeri, sed nondum statim finis. Tunc dicébat illis: Surget gens contra gentem, et regnum advérsus regnum. Et terræmótus magni erunt per loca, et pestiléntiæ, et fames, terrorésque de coelo, et signa magna erunt. Sed ante hæc ómnia iniícient vobis manus suas, et persequéntur tradéntes in synagógas et custódias, trahéntes ad reges et praesides propter nomen meum: contínget autem vobis in testimónium. Pónite ergo in córdibus vestris non præmeditári, quemádmodum respondeátis. Ego enim dabo vobis os et sapiéntiam, cui non potérunt resístere et contradícere omnes adversárii vestri. Tradémini autem a paréntibus, et frátribus, et cognátis, et amícis, et morte affícient ex vobis: et éritis ódio ómnibus propter nomen meum: et capíllus de cápite vestro non períbit. In patiéntia vestra possidébitis ánimas vestras.
Gospel Luke 21:9-19
At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; these things must first come to pass, but the end will not be at once. Then He said to them, Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be great earthquakes in various places, and pestilences and famines, and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven. But before all these things they will arrest you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, dragging you before kings and governors for My name’s sake. It shall lead to your bearing witness. Resolve therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how you are to make your defense. For I Myself will give you utterance and wisdom, which all your adversaries will not be able to resist or gainsay. But you will be delivered up by your parents and brothers and relatives and friends; and some of you they will put to death. And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake; yet not a hair of your head shall perish. By your patience you will win your souls.
DALL’OMELIA DI DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (*)
SS. Cornelii Papæ et Cypriani Episcopi, Martyrum.
Oggi celebriamo un gruppo di martiri tra cui Cornelio e Cipriano. Abbiamo la chiamata al martirio. Tuttavia non tutti hanno questa vocazione. Ma alcune anime elette la possiedono.
Cornelio fu il ventunesimo papa. I suoi seguaci furono perseguitati e visse in un tempo di grandi conflitti della chiesa in cui venne eletto un antipapa.
Cipriano vescovo di Cartagine cinque anni dopo la morte di Cornelio (a Civitavecchia) venne a sua volta martirizzato.
Ma Gesu’ governa la chiesa attraverso il suo vero e unico vicario.
Benedetto XVI assomiglia molto alla figura di Cornelio, costretto alle dimissioni. Ma non sono percio’ dimissioni vere. Dobbiamo quindi essere vicini al nostro vero papa, sostenerlo soprattutto con la preghiera.
Questa e’ la cosa piu’ importante che possiamo fare. Preghiamo dunque Cristo perche’ ci dia forza e coraggio per superare gli ostacoli che si parano davanti a noi!
Sia lodato Gesu Cristo!

FROM THE HOMILY BY DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**)
SS. Cornelii Papæ et Cypriani Episcopi, Martyrum.
Today we celebrate a group of martyrs including Cornelius and Cyprian. We have the call to martyrdom. However not everyone has this vocation.
Cornelius was the twenty-first pope. His followers were persecuted and he lived in a time of great church strife when an antipope was elected.
Cyprian bishop of Carthage five years after the death of Cornelio (in Civitavecchia) was himself martyred.
But Jesus governs the church through his true and only vicar.
Benedict XVI is very similar to the figure of Cornelio, forced to resign. But they are not therefore true resignations.
We must therefore be close to our true pope, support him above all with prayer. This is the most important thing we can do.
Let us therefore pray to Christ to give us strength and courage to overcome the obstacles that stand before us!
Praised be Jesus Christ!
