“Thou shalt love thy God with all thy heart. You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Mk. 12:28b-34. In the dialogue with the scribe, Jesus goes to the heart of faith, from a clear and demanding synthesis: to love God with all one’s heart and to love one’s neighbor as oneself. The love that Jesus …
“The kingdom of God has come.” Lk. 11:14-23 Jesus frees a man and, instead of joy, suspicion arises. Some do not deny the good done, but doubt the origin: they prefer to explain God’s action from a place of distrust rather than open themselves to faith. Jesus answers clearly: evil cannot overcome itself. Where He …
“Whoever fulfills them and teaches them will be great.” Mt. 5:17-19 Jesus makes it clear in this passage of today’s Gospel that he did not come to abolish the Law but to give it fullness. It is not a question of eliminating the commandments, but of taking them to their deepest meaning: love. The Law, …
“Bear with me” “not seven, but seventy times seven”. Mt 18:21-35 Peter asks Jesus how many times he should forgive, as if seeking a reasonable limit. Jesus responds by breaking all accounts: “not seven, but seventy times seven.” Christian forgiveness is not measured; it is born of the love received. Jesus reminds us that forgiveness …
“Jesus made his way among them and went on his way.” Lk. 4:24-30 Jesus is rejected by his own people. Those who have known him forever are unable to recognize in him the one sent by God.

“He was lost and has been found.” Lk. 15:1-3. 11-32 In today’s Gospel, Jesus reveals to us who God is and his way of loving. He does so through a simple but deeply provocative parable: a father with two lost sons. The younger son leaves looking for freedom and ends up empty. When he returns, …
“The kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to those who produce fruit.” Mt. 21:33-43 Jesus tells a parable today: an owner entrusts his vineyard to some vinedressers and leaves. The vineyard does not belong to them, but they forget that it is a gift received. When the time comes to …
“Son, remember that you received your goods while you were alive.” Lk. 16:19-31 Jesus does not present us with a wicked rich man or a perfect poor man. It presents us with something much more disturbing: an indifferent rich man and an ignored poor man. The sin of the rich man was not what he …
“Whoever wants to be great among you, let him be your servant.” Mt. 20:17-28 Today Jesus is on his way to Jerusalem, to complete his mission, while his disciples think of positions, honors and privileges.
