RESPONSORIAL PSALM (Ps 102)
Chorus: The Lord? good and great in? love.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
what? within me, bless his holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
not forget all his benefits.
He forgives all your sins and heals all your infirmities
?,
save your life from the pit, surrounds you
of goodness? and mercy.
merciful and gracious? the Lord, slow to

nor repay us according to our iniquities.
How far? From the East? West
cos? He removed our transgressions from us.
How? a tender father to his children, so
? the Lord ? wheat to those who fear him.
SECOND READING (1 Corinthians 3.16-23)
Everything? yours, but you are Christ's and Christ?
of God from the first letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians? NZI
Brothers, do not you know that you are the temple of God and the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy? him. Why? saint? the temple of God, which is you.
no one be deceived. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this world, you face a fool to become wise, why? the wisdom of this world? foolishness with God it is written:? He drops the wise in their craftiness?. And again? The Lord knows the plans of the wise are futile?.
Quindi nessuno ponga il suo vanto negli uomini, perch? tutto ? vostro: Paolo, Apollo, Cefa, il mondo, la vita, la morte, il presente, il futuro: tutto ? vostro! Ma voi siete di Cristo e Cristo ? di Dio.
Parola di Dio
Canto al Vangelo (1Gv 2, 5)
Alleluia, alleluia.
Chi osserva la parola di Ges? Cristo,
in lui l?amore di Dio ? veramente perfetto.
Alleluia.
VANGELO (Mt 5,38-48)
Amate i vostri nemici.
+ Dal Vangelo secondo Matteo
In quel tempo, Ges? 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 d? a slap on the right cheek, you p? rgigli also? other, and those who want to take you to court and take your tunic, let him have your coat. And whosoever shall compel thee? to accompany him for a mile, go with him to let two. From? who asks you, and who want to borrow not turn your back.
You have heard that it was said? "You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy?. But I say unto you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so? you may be sons of your Father? in heaven, he makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. In fact, if you love those who love you, what reward will you get? They do not do so? even the tax collectors? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing than others? They do not do so? even the pagans? You, therefore, be perfect as? your heavenly Father is perfect?.
Word of the Lord's Prayer
bids
Lord, accept this
? Offer an expression of our faith;
ago? that give glory to your name and
conducive to the salvation of the world.
through Christ our Lord.
Communion Antiphon
proclaim? all your wonders. In thee rejoice and be glad,
singing praises to thy name, O Most High. (9.2 to 3 Ps)
Or
Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God
, came into this world. (Jn 11:27)
Oppure:
?Se amate quelli che vi amano,
quale merito ne avete??,
dice il Signore. (Mt 5,46)
Preghiera dopo la comunione
Il pane che ci hai donato, o Dio,
in questo sacramento di salvezza,
sia per tutti noi pegno sicuro di vita eterna.
Per Cristo nostro Signore.
Commento
Ges? Cristo, Dio-con-noi e umanit? nuova, insegna ai suoi discepoli il comandamento dell?amore, la nuova legge del
Vangelo che sostituisce per sempre la legge pagana del vecchio uomo: ?Amerai il tuo prossimo e odierai il tuo nemico?.
Il nostro spirito trema sentendo le esigenze di questo nuovo comandamento. Non ? forse pi? facile aggredire chi ci aggredisce e amare chi ci ama? Forse ? a questo che ci spingerebbero i nostri sensi, ? questa la voce dell?anima umiliata non ancora raggiunta dalla luce del Dio di Ges? Cristo, del solo vero Dio. Ecco perch? l?amore di carit? ? un precetto insolito, che apre ad un nuovo orizzonte antropologico la civilt? antica e ogni civilt? umana possibile.
Visto da questo orizzonte, l?uomo, ogni uomo, appare creato a immagine e somiglianza di Dio e non pi? formato secondo una natura disuguale e arbitraria, come invece credevano i pagani. Liberato dai suoi peccati grazie all?azione redentrice di Cristo e rinnovato dall?azione dello Spirito, l?uomo, ogni uomo, ? il tempio in cui risplende lo Spirito di Dio. Dio ama l?uomo per se stesso, a tal punto che consegna alla morte suo Figlio.
Dal momento che Dio ci ama in questo modo e ci ha fatti partecipi del suo amore, noi non possiamo che perdonare il nostro prossimo e aiutarlo perch? viva e si sviluppi.
