VIIa Domenica del Tempo Ordinario
Letture: Lv 19,1-2.17-18; Sal 102; 1 Cor 3,16-23; Mt 5,38-48
Dal vangelo secondo Matteo
In quel tempo, Gesù disse ai suoi discepoli: «Avete inteso che fu detto: “Occhio per occhio e dente per dente”. Ma io vi dico di non opporvi al malvagio; anzi, se uno ti dà uno schiaffo sulla guancia destra, tu pórgigli anche l’altra, e a chi vuole portarti in tribunale e toglierti la tunica, tu lascia anche il mantello. E se uno ti costringerà ad accompagnarlo per un miglio, tu con lui fanne due. Da’ a chi ti chiede, e a chi desidera da te un prestito non voltare le spalle. Avete inteso che fu detto: “Amerai il tuo prossimo e odierai il tuo nemico”. Ma io vi dico: amate i vostri nemici e pregate per quelli che vi perseguitano, affinché siate figli del Padre vostro che è nei cieli; egli fa sorgere il suo sole sui cattivi e sui buoni, e fa piovere sui giusti e sugli ingiusti. Infatti, se amate quelli che vi amano, quale ricompensa do you have? Do not even the publicans? And if you greet your brethren only, what are you doing than others? Do not even pagans? You, therefore, be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect. "
O Jesus, forgive me if I just can not follow you. Your words lead me to a height that gives me vertigo. I try to restrict their horizons, because I think that only in the narrow circle of those who love me I find safety and love and instead you brutally widen the space, because you want that love grows and expands to infinity. I believe that the instinct to protect my passionate person has an inalienable right and unrestricted and you affirm instead that this instinct is ambiguous and should be kept an eye on, but it does not become close to each other and violence calls received not more violence. I am perched in the rigid perimeter of justice, but you want to go beyond reason, beyond the question of who should take the first step. For you, it makes no sense to ask: "Whose turn is it?", Nor do I feel comfortable taking refuge behind the "not for me." How do you, O Jesus, not to react to the violent behavior of the evil and greedy? How do I get always to the benefit of others? But your speech, Jesus, and yet it expands it becomes more difficult for me to share and put into practice. You ask them to donate to my questioner, ask for love first, love always, to love even where I find hostility and rejection, of love even the enemy. No, Jesus, you can not love someone who is different from me, who does not have my own tastes, who does not share my ideas.
How can I love who is a source of constant misunderstanding and suffering, who is in front of me in a hostile attitude, who never misses a chance to hurt me with his fierce criticism and meticulous? How do I love the "cunning of the neighborhood, who is unfair, double agent by vocation, who proves to be friendly and smiling in front of me and then stabbed in the back? But all these questions and protests clash against your cross and dissolve like mist in the sun. How dare protest I who crucified with my sins? You love to have you uploaded of my suffering, you bore my pain, you left crush from my iniquity. Only through your wounds to find mercy from the Father. How far from your Gospel, Jesus! Will never convert me? I can not return evil for evil? Will I be able to "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good"?
Fa 'that my life is pervaded by endless and unlimited of the Father, "which makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust." Give me, O Jesus, a heart like yours, like that of the heavenly Father, loving tutti senza limitazione alcuna. Aiutami, o Gesù, a non accettare i bisticci senza fine, a disertare il gioco sterile delle ripicche, a non lasciarmi vincere dall'istinto di vendetta, ma sappia essere, con il mio comportamento, annunciatore di carità e di perdono. Se dovessi essere afferrato dallo scoraggiamento, perché l'impresa mi sembra disperata, allora concedimi il dono di contemplare la croce, che tu hai piantato nel cuore del mondo come una possibilità infinita di riconciliazione. E soprattutto fa' che non dimentichi mai che Dio e il suo amore sono più grandi della cattiveria mia e degli altri, e trovi in questa certezza la forza di amare sempre e comunque.
