Evangelium Matt 25:1-13
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Simile erit regnum cœlórum decem virgínibus: quæ, accipiéntes lámpades suas, exiérunt óbviam sponso et sponsæ. Quinque autem ex eis erant fátuæ, et quinque prudéntes: sed quinque fátuæ, accéptis lampádibus, non sumpsérunt óleum secum: prudéntes vero accepérunt óleum in vasis suis cum lampádibus. Moram autem faciénte sponso, dormitavérunt omnes et dormiérunt. Média autem nocte clamor factus est: Ecce, sponsus venit, exíte óbviam ei. Tunc surrexérunt omnes vírgines illæ, et ornavérunt lámpades suas. Fátuæ autem sapiéntibus dixérunt: Date nobis de óleo vestro: quia lámpades nostræ exstinguúntur. Respondérunt prudéntes, dicéntes: Ne forte non suffíciat nobis et vobis, ite pótius ad vendéntes, et émite vobis. Dum autem irent émere, venit sponsus: et quæ parátæ erant, intravérunt cum eo ad núptias, et clausa est iánua. Novíssime vero véniunt et réliquæ vírgines, dicéntes: Dómine, Dómine, aperi nobis. At ille respóndens, ait: Amen, dico vobis, néscio vos. Vigiláte ítaque, quia néscitis diem neque horam.
Gospel Matt 25:1-13
In that time Jesus said to the people: Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who taking their lamps went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride. And five of them were foolish, and five wise. But the five foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps. And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye forth to meet him. Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out. The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. Now whilst they went to buy, the bridegroom came: and they that were ready, went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut. But at last came also the other virgins, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answering said: Amen I say to you, I know you not. Watch ye therefore, because you know not the day nor the hour.
DALL’OMELIA DI DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (*)
Oggi festeggiamo Santa Teresa d’Avila (Avila, 28 marzo 1515 – Alba de Tormes, 15 ottobre 1582). E’ stata una delle figure più importanti della Riforma cattolica. Riformatrice dell’Ordine Carmelitano e fondatrice delle monache e dei frati Carmelitani Scalzi, contribui’ alla fondazione di monasteri in diversi luoghi di Spagna e all’estero. Combatte’ il lassismo all’interno degli ordini religiosi. Entrata nel Carmelo a vent’anni. Ma non vi trovo’ un’oasi di spiritualita’. Dopo 18 anni si accese nel suo cuore un amore intenso per Gesu’ Cristo. Si impegno’ quindi ardentemente nella sua missione di riformatrice.
Il suo impegno massimo era per la preghiera incessante. Si tratta della piu’ grande espressione della fede (l’olio delle lampade).
Anche noi dobbiamo esprimere la nostra fede con la preghiera incessante (la fiamma ardente). L’olio delle lampade significa infatti la preghiera incessante. Il suo impegno era costante. Dedicava tutta se stessa. Ma come faceva a pregare incessantemente?
Non c’e’ solo la preghiera diretta! Ci sono i nostri sacrifici offerti a Dio, le difficolta’ che incontriamo, ma soprattutto l’impegno costante! Si tratta infatti della preghiera in unione al sacrificio di Cristo sulla Croce!
Questa e’ la preghiera continua: l’accettazione del sacrificio quotidiano, offerto a Gesu’ Cristo in espiazione!
Gli apostoli degli ultimi tempi vivranno con il rosario in una mano e la croce nell’altra: Rosario e Croce. Questa e’ la profezia della Madonna!
Preghiamo, anche con l’intercessione di Santa Teresa, per affidare la Chiesa e oggi l’Italia ai cuori SS di Gesu’ e Maria!
Sia lodato Gesu’ Cristo! Sempre sia lodato!

FROM THE HOMILY BY DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**)
Today we celebrate Saint Teresa of Avila (Avila, 28 March 1515 – Alba de Tormes, 15 October 1582). She was one of the most important figures of the Catholic Reformation. Reformer of the Carmelite Order and founder of the Discalced Carmelite nuns and friars, she contributed to the foundation of monasteries in various places in Spain and abroad.
She decided to fight laxity within religious orders. She entered Carmel when she was twenty. But she did’t find an oasis of spirituality. After 18 years an intense love for Jesus Christ was kindled in his heart.
She therefore committed herself ardently to her mission as a reformer. Her greatest commitment was to incessant prayer.
It is the greatest expression of faith (the oil of the lamps).
We too must express our faith with unceasing intensity (the burning flame). The oil of the lamps means incessant prayer. His commitment was constant. She devoted herself entirely.
But how did she pray incessantly? There is not only direct prayer! There are our sacrifices offered to God, the difficulties we encounter!
It is a question of prayer in union with the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross! This is continuous prayer: the acceptance of the daily sacrifice offered to Jesus Christ in atonement!
The apostles of the last times will live with the rosary in one hand and the cross in the other: Rosary and Cross. This is Our Lady’s prophecy!
Let us pray, also with the intercession of Saint Teresa, to entrust the Church and today Italy to the most holy hearts of Jesus and Mary!
Praised be Jesus Christ! Always be praised!
