We discuss the first Homily of Pope Leo XIVCORRECTION: In the episode, I state that Pope Leo XIV quotes directly from Gaudium et Spes 22. Upon closer examination, he actually paraphrases its ideas without quoting it directly. The quotation I read is from the source document itself, not the homily. The theological themes are clearly referenced, but the words are not the Pope's. I apologize for the inaccuracy and thank you for your understanding.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=8067OMELIA VII DOMENICA T. ORD. - ANNO C (Lc 6,27-38) di Giacomo Biffi In questa pagina del Vangelo di Luca Gesù delinea la figura ideale del suo discepolo in alcuni tratti tipici e particolarmente rilevanti. Viene così configurato un tipo d'uomo del tutto originale, che si comporta in maniera che spesso agli occhi del mondo apparirà incomprensibile.Il cristiano, secondo questa descrizione, è uno che non risponde al male col male, non reagisce alla violenza con la violenza, non coltiva lo spirito di vendetta ma cerca di esercitare sempre, con chi l'ha trattato ingiustamente, la legge del perdono.San Paolo enuncia lo stesso concetto quando esorta: Non lascarti vincere dal male, ma vinci il male col bene (Rm 12,21).Per imprimerci bene questo insegnamento difficile, il nostro Maestro si esprime paradossalmente, cioè con frasi che, più che essere prese alla lettera, vanno capite nel loro significato sostanziale.Dice ad esempio: A chi ti percuote sulla guancia, porgi anche l'altra (Lc 6,29). È un'espressione famosa, sulla quale si è fatto qualche volta dell'ironia. Qualche altra volta è stata invece travisata, facendone contro ogni buon senso un principio di comportamento per le stesse pubbliche autorità, a tutto vantaggio dei prepotenti agguerriti e a tutto svantaggio degli onesti indifesi.È molto istruttivo rileggere il commento che su di essa fa san Tommaso d'Aquino, uno dei più grandi teologi della storia: «Dobbiamo intendere la Scrittura alla luce dell'esempio di Cristo e dei santi. Gesù non porse l'altra guancia allorché fu schiaffeggiato in casa di Anna, così come non la porse san Paolo quando, come raccontano gli Atti degli Apostoli, fu bastonato a Filippi. Non bisogna pertanto ritenere che Cristo abbia comandato alla lettera di presentare l'altra guancia a chi te ne ha già percossa una; occorre invece intendere le parole del Signore come riferite alla disposizione interiore; in altri termini, quando è necessario, dobbiamo essere disposti a che il nostro animo non muova ad ira contro chi ci percuote, e pronti a sopportare qualcosa di analogo e anche di più. Come appunto fece il Signore quando consegnò il proprio corpo alla morte» (In Ev. Ioannis espositio et lectura, 18,37).L'AMORE MISERICORDIOSO DI DIO VERSO DI NOI FONDA LA NOSTRA MISERICORDIA VERSO GLI ALTRIPossiamo individuare la fonte della norma di comportamento assegnataci nel fatto che noi siamo figli di Dio. Questo è il grande annuncio che il Signore è venuto a portarci, anzi questa è la stupenda ricchezza che ci è stata ottenuta dalla sua azione redentrice. Ora, è giusto e bello che i figli assomiglino al padre e si adoperino a conformarsi ai suoi esempi: proporci di imitare Dio nostro Padre nella sua attitudine ad amare e a donarsi, questo è il traguardo altissimo e affascinante che ci viene sorprendentemente indicato nella legge della Nuova Alleanza.Dio ci ha fatti oggetto della sua benevolenza quando eravamo ancora ostili a lui e ribelli, al punto da sacrificare per l'umanità peccatrice il suo unico Figlio. Perciò ci viene ordinato: Amate i vostri nemici, fate del bene a coloro che vi odiano (Lc 6,27); che è una cosa bellissima, facile da dire ma difficilissima da mettere in pratica.Benedite coloro che vi maledicono, pregate per coloro che vi maltrattano (Lc 6,28). Gesù non si è limitato a suggerircelo a parole, ce lo ha insegnato con la vita. Già confitto alla croce, ha invocato sui suoi uccisori la misericordia di Dio: Padre, perdonali perché non sanno quello che fanno (Lc 23,34). A sua imitazione Stefano, il primo martire, mentre moriva sotto i colpi di pietra aveva la forza di supplicare perché il peccato dei suoi assassini non venisse loro imputato (cf. At 7,60), dimostrando così di aver imparato bene la lezione del suo Redentore.L'amore più arduo da esercitare è proprio l'amore misericordioso, cioè l'amore che sa raggiungere anche i colpevoli e coloro che, sbagliando, si sono messi contro la verità, contro la Chiesa, contro di noi. Ma appunto di questo amore il Creatore ci ha dato l'esempio; e ce lo dà continuamente, sopportando la malvagità e le offese che a lui sciaguratamente sono rivolte. Perciò ci viene raccomandato: Siate misericordiosi, come è misericordioso il Padre vostro (Lc 6,36).IL DOVERE DI NON GIUDICARE LA COSCIENZA DI NESSUNO, CHE SOLO DIO PUÒ SCRUTARESenza dubbio la comprensione verso i nostri nemici non deve significare assenza di reazione nei confronti del male, della menzogna, del travisamento della realtà delle cose.A questo proposito mette conto di rileggere quanto è stato insegnato dal Concilio Vaticano II: «Certamente l'amore e l'amabilità [verso i nemici] non devono in alcun modo renderci indifferenti verso la verità e il bene. Anzi lo stesso amore spinge i discepoli di Cristo a annunziare a tutti gli uomini la verità che salva. Ma occorre distinguere tra l'errore, sempre da rifiutarsi, e l'errante, che conserva sempre la dignità di persona anche quando è macchiato da false o meno accurate nozioni religiose. Solo Dio è giudice e scrutatore dei cuori, perciò ci vieta di giudicare la colpevolezza interiore di chiunque» (Gaudium et spes, 28). Non giudicate è in effetti uno dei precetti più caratteristici e importanti di tutto il Vangelo.Ogni uomo è per gli altri uomini un mistero insondabile: che cosa ci sia nel suo cuore, da che cosa siano condizionati i suoi pensieri, in che misura gli accadimenti e i suoi dati fisici e psichici determinino le sue deliberazioni, tutto questo non è consentito a noi di sapere. Resta il segreto di Dio.Noi possiamo e dobbiamo valutare l'oggettività degli atti, ma non le intenzioni profonde e le responsabilità personali. Sarebbe ugualmente sbagliato sia non distinguere più tra bene e male, ritenendo che le azioni siano sottratte alla valutazione della morale oggettiva, sia pretendere di sostituirci al Signore nel giudicare il mondo intimo e segreto del soggetto che agisce.Gesù infine ci ricorda che a coloro che si impegnano a praticare il comando dell'amore, della misericordia, della generosità verso tutti, è riservata una ricompensa munifica: Una buona misura, pigiata, scossa, traboccante vi sarà versata nel grembo (Lc 6,38).Date e vi sarà dato (Lc 6,38): per quanto largamente possiamo donare a Dio in questa vita, più largamente sarà donato a noi da Dio nella vita eterna. Dio è più grande del nostro cuore (1 Gv 3,20) e sarà per noi un premio molto eccedente la magnanimità con cui l'avremo saputo amare.

Read Online“Blind guides, who strain out the gnat and swallow the camel! Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You cleanse the outside of cup and dish, but inside they are full of plunder and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup, so that the outside also may be clean.” Matthew 23:24–26Imagine if someone were to offer to wash the dishes after dinner and all they did was to wash the outside of the cups and bowls but left the inside untouched and then placed them back in the cupboard. The next time you would go to use them, you would find them looking good until you took them down and saw the dried liquid and food inside. This is the image that Jesus uses to describe the Pharisees. They only cared about the external appearance and ignored the more important interior of the soul.Jesus also used the contrasting images of straining out the gnat and swallowing the camel. This was a reference to the laws in Leviticus that forbade the Israelites from eating “swarming creatures,” such as gnats and other bugs, (Leviticus 11:41–45) as well as the meat of camels (Leviticus 11:4). Saying that the Pharisees “strain out the gnat and swallow the camel” was a figure of speech by which Jesus accused the Pharisees of distorting the smallest details of the law while ignoring the most important ones. For example, the Pharisees required everyone to strain all liquid before drinking it, just in case a gnat accidentally was present in that liquid, but they cared little about true justice when it came to killing the Son of God. For these reasons, the Pharisees had become “blind guides” and “hypocrites,” incapable of leading people to holiness.The bottom line is that Jesus is telling us that we must truly become holy, not just appear so. God sees the heart and judges the heart. The only other person who can see your heart is you. Therefore, we must also hear this condemnation of the Pharisees so that we will understand the importance of looking into our own souls first and foremost. From there, from the holiness within, our exterior will also radiate the holiness of God.One of the documents of Vatican II, Gaudium et Spes, beautifully speaks to us about the conscience: “Conscience is the most secret core and sanctuary of a man. There he is alone with God, Whose voice echoes in his depths” (#16). This “secret core and sanctuary” within us is what Jesus is most concerned about. Very often we are tempted to be far more concerned about how we look to others than how we truly are inside. For example, the person who lives a sinful double life may go to great lengths to look holy to others, doing all they can to hide their sin from others. On the contrary, someone might be living a very holy life but be falsely accused by another publicly, causing much pain. In the former case, as long as the person is not found out, they appear at peace. In the latter case, even though the person is living a good and holy life, if they are falsely accused, they may be tempted to despair as their public image is shattered.What others think and say about us is ultimately out of our control to a lesser or greater degree. What is within our control is that which is within us. Our interior life, that secret core, that sanctuary within where we meet God, must become the focus of our energies. Exteriorly, it ought not matter that others praise us or criticize us. What matters is that which is true, and only you and God can look into your heart to see that truth. The Pharisees failed to understand this essential truth. They put all their energy into their public image, neglecting that which was most important, making them incapable of leading others to God.Reflect, today, upon your soul. How often do you look inside yourself? Are you able to be honest with yourself, acknowledging your sin and being grateful for your virtue? Or are you among those who are more concerned with how you look to others? Turn your eyes to the secret sanctuary within because it is there, in that secret core, that you will meet God, grow in holiness and then radiate that true holiness within our world. When that happens, God will also be able to use you to be a true guide to holiness for others. Lord of true holiness, You desire to cleanse my soul, and You invite me to meet You there within. Please give me the grace I need to care more about my holiness within than the external perceptions and judgments of others. May I become holy, dear Lord, and learn to become an instrument of that holiness for others. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life!

"Man...cannot fully find himself except through a sincere gift of self." Gaudium et SpesOur gifts and talents are the things God gives us that draw us into relationship with others. By giving our gifts, we find acceptance, belonging, and a secure communion with others.But the enemy wants to thwart these gifts so that they turn us inward rather than outward. In this episode, we want to help you explore your unique gifts and overcome the common traps the enemy lays to keep you hoarding your gift.Support the Show.____________________ ► Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to the Metanoia Catholic YouTube Channel!► Find out your temperament: Take the Free Quiz► Take the Quiz: WHAT TYPE OF COACH ARE YOU?► GET THE DAILY SEVEN JOURNAL!This interactive journal will help you transform your life from the inside out by teaching you how to grow in gratitude, set healthy goals, and gain mastery over your thoughts.► JOIN THE ACADEMY!Your online resource of classes, tools, and community to ramp up your growth and really change your life.
