Evangelium Luc 12:35-40
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis: Sint lumbi vestri præcíncti, et lucérnæ 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 (FROM THE HOMILY BY) DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA – 20 ottobre 2021
DALL’OMELIA DI DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (*)
Che giova, fratelli miei, se uno dice di aver la fede e non abbia le opere? Potrà forse salvarlo la fede? (Jac 2:12-17)
E anche voi tenetevi pronti, perché, nell’ora che non pensate, verrà il Figlio dell’uomo (Luc 12:35-40).
Dobbiamo quindi stare pronti con fede (le lucerne accese). Ma per questo occorrono anche la pieta’ e carita’.
Oggi ricordiamo la figura di San Giovanni Canzio (1390-1473), santo polacco grande teologo. Ordinato sacerdote, insegnò per molti anni teologia nell’Università di Cracovia. Giovanni Canzio è stato un presbitero, fisico, teologo e filosofo scolastico polacco. Ma fu anche un grande santo, proclamato santo da papa Clemente XIII nel 1767. Fu un esempio di pietà e carità verso il prossimo, particolarmente verso poveri e gli indigenti (cui donava cibo, i suoi abiti e anche le sue scarpe).
E’ solo con la carita’ che possiamo essere bene accetti al Signore. Stiamo attenti a quelli che sbandierano le proprie ragioni vantando i propri titoli. Le ragioni si difendono solo con il ragionamento, non mettendosi su un piedistallo di orgoglio intellettuale.
Sia lodato Gesu’ Cristo! Sempre sia lodato!

FROM THE HOMILY BY DON ENRICO RONCAGLIA (**)
What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith and doesn’t have works? Could faith possibly save him? (Jac 2: 12-17)
And you too get ready, because, at an hour you do not think, the Son of man will come (Luke 12: 35-40).
We must therefore be ready with faith (the lighted lamps). But for this we also need piety and charity.
Today we remember the figure of St. John Canzio (1390-1473), a Polish saint and great theologian. Ordained a priest, he taught theology for many years at the University of Krakow.
Giovanni Canzio was a Polish presbyter, physicist, theologian and philosopher. But he was also a great saint, proclaimed a saint by Pope Clement XIII in 1767.
He was an example of piety and charity towards his neighbor, particularly towards the poor and the destitute (to whom he gave food, his clothes and even his shoes).
It is only with charity that we can be welcomed by the Lord. Let’s be careful of those who flaunt their reasons by boasting their titles. Reasons are defended only by reasoning, not by putting themselves on a pedestal of intellectual pride.
Praised be Jesus Christ! Always be praised!
