Terza Domenica di Avvento
Letture: Is 35,1-6a. 8a.10; Sal 145; Gc 5,7-10; Mt 11,2-11
Dal vangelo secondo Matteo
In quel tempo, Giovanni, che era in carcere, avendo sentito parlare delle opere del Cristo, per mezzo dei suoi discepoli mandò a dirgli: «Sei tu colui che deve venire o dobbiamo aspettare un altro?». Gesù rispose loro: «Andate e riferite a Giovanni ciò che udite e vedete: I ciechi riacquistano la vista, gli zoppi camminano, i lebbrosi sono purificati, i sordi odono, i morti risuscitano, the poor have proclaimed the Gospel. And blessed is he who does not find me a source of scandal. " While they were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the multitudes concerning John: "What did you go to see in the desert? A reed shaken by the wind? So, what did you go see? A man dressed in clothes of luxury? Here, those who wear luxury clothing are in kings' palaces! Well, what did you go see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, in fact, more than a prophet. This is he of whom it is written: "Behold, before thee I send my messenger before you, he will prepare your way." Verily I say unto you, among those born of women there has been none greater than John il Battista; ma il più piccolo nel regno dei cieli è più grande di lui».
TESTIMONIANZA
Giovanni Battista, il profeta dalle parole dure come sassi e taglienti come asce, non grida più né minaccia castighi.
Masticato dalla vita, spazzato via dall'arroganza del potere, nella buia prigione di Erode, si interroga: "Ho visto giusto? Ho fatto bene?".
Giovanni si aspettava che tu, o Gesù, saresti stato il più forte, avresti separato i giusti dai peccatori, giudicando tutti con severità.
E perché non divampasse l'ira di Dio, con tutte le sue forze aveva invitato il popolo a convertirsi e fare frutti degni di penitenza.
Tu, But when you started the mission, you had no fan to clean your yard or an ax to cut the roots of the tree fruitless, but sinners welcome you with love and mercy.
a true man of faith, John does not take these doubts in his heart.
sends you to say
"Art thou he that should come, or we look for another?"
You, Jesus, you are the Messiah, the Messenger of God, your work does not occur in
force that humiliates and crushes, but the love that heals and forgives.
you became a man, you came into our history
not to judge and punish, but to all life.
You are the Messiah, according to the heart of God, who "does not have the death the sinner, but he wants that he be converted and live "(cf. Ez 18:23).
Two thousand years later, the question is the same, even if the formula are men and women of different races and cultures.
sometimes emerges in my heart.
You know, Jesus, I am tempted to think that nothing has changed with your coming.
If you say that you are the King of the universe, the one true savior,
those who live near me, I consider dreamer dreamer.
Then, with hearts full of bitterness, I am tempted to declare:
"I was wrong, I have to wait for another savior."
Your reply, Jesus, is banal and disturbing fragile and heroic
"Be patient and do not despair. Watch the farmer, examines the history and life,
grasp the signs of the presence of the Kingdom: the blind see, the dumb speak, the lepers are cleansed
... ".
Yes, O Jesus, I too have seen the explosive power of the gospel,
I have seen people change, heal, see.
Wrinkle in corrupt world, and I discovered restless gestures of total gratuity, lives consumed in the gift and hope, tears of brotherhood in hell of loneliness and selfishness.
Is this the problem?
An inner myopia that prevents me from enjoying the hidden and subtle presence of God?
