The 10th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Genesis 3:9-15; 2 Corinthians 4:13-5:1; Mark 3:20-35. In Genesis, sin enters the world as Adam and Eve yield to the serpent’s temptation. Paul’s Letter to the Corinthians urges believers not to  be discouraged: our earthly dwelling fades, but life in the Lord is eternal. Mark’s Gospel shows Jesus being described by the scribes as “possessed.”  Jesus responds with a promise that doing the will of God makes us his brothers and sisters.





X Domenica Del Tempo Ordinario

SATANA È FINITO! L’uomo sedotto dal diavolo. Si ritrove smarrito e turbato. Si nasconde; a Dio che lo cerca risponde: “Ho avuto paura” (I Lettura). Nel Vangelo gli avversari di Gesù lo accusano di complicità col demonio, gettando discredit sul suo operato. La realtà è che propria Gesù riporta il definitivo trionfo contro il regno di Satana, e ne decreta la fine: ogni tentazione è vinta da colui che ha vinto ogni tentazione!

Gesù accusa di bestammiare contro lo Spirito Santo coloro che attribuscono deliberatamente la sua opera al demonio. Il  rischio che corrono è di rifiutare con ostinazione di interprendere un cammino di conversione con  un indurimento del cuore che può sfociare nell’impenitenza finale. Gesù con la sua redenzione si pone in netta antitesi con chi dall’inizio è omicida e nemecio dell’uomo. Cristo è il “piu forte” (cf. Mc 1,7), perché mandato dal Padre autorità. Chi accoglie il messagio del Vangelo supera ogni sbandamento e diviene cosi per Gesù “fratello, sorella e madre” con le promessa di vivere per sempre accanto a lui nella gloria (Il Lettura).  – Don Michele G. D’Agostino, ssp

 
常年期第十主日

今天的福音記載着一件令人充滿希望的事。耶穌的母親和親戚來找祂的時候，祂說：「誰奉行天主的旨意，他就是我的兄弟、姊妹 和母親。凡是仰效祂的師表，接受天父的旨意， 照着去做的人，就和祂有密切關係，有能力抵抗魔鬼，就如耶穌自己那樣，祂因為按照天主的旨意行事，服從至死，甚至被釘死在十字架上，因此祂救贖了人類的罪，克勝死亡，戰勝魔鬼，復活升天。我們若能像耶穌一樣，甘心為補贖自己和世人的罪，我們也可戰勝魔鬼。我們的十字架是每所遇的大小困難，疾苦，在實行愛德時的辛勞，堅毅不屈，卻在艱苦中依賴天主努力奮鬥 。
 
有一點要記得，耶穌說實行天父的旨意的人就是祂的母親，並沒有低貶聖母。天下間有誰比聖母更能承行天父的旨意呢？所以耶穌是在讚美祂的母親，希望人向她學習。
 

Saint WHO?
 
 
Francis Borgia
Priest and  Religious  + 1572

Francis Borgia came from a powerful and influential Spanish family. He lived an intensely holy life in the midst of enormous political responsibility. He was surrounded from childhood by caregivers chosen for their virtue. He served at the imperial court, where it is said he never spoke ill of others or indulged in vices. He married Eleanor, a lady-in-waiting of the empress, with whom he had eight children.

After Eleanor died, Francis made provision for his children and estates and entered the Jesuits. Saint Ignatius of Loyola appointed him the order’s commissary general of Spai. In this capacity, he founded Spain’s first Jesuit novitiate as well as a number of schools. In 1565, he was chosen to lead the entire order.

When he was, as he said “smitten with the sword of responsibility,” he addressed his fellow Jesuits, begging them to offer to God the “fruits of obedience, humility, and patience,” to give their neighbors “the oil of mercy and the other remedies,” to forget their own differences and “begin a new life, destroying the old man and raising up the new, so that the simplicity, obedience, charity, and humility of the primitive Society may be revived in our hearts.” The Jesuit order expanded under his leadership and he is sometimes called its second founder.

Heavenly Father, through the intercession of Saint Francis Borgia, strengthen those you call From the world to your service.
