Mt. 7:1-5 “God will measure them by the measure by which they have measured others.“ Today we return to the final chapter of the Sermon on the Mount, that discourse that Matthew puts on the lips of Jesus to help us understand how Jesus fulfills what He said: that He did not come to abolish […]

Mt. 10:26-33   “Do not be afraid.” In the context of what we have been experiencing since the beginning of this year, it is very good for us to listen to the entire text of today’s Gospel. To contemplate the serenity of Jesus in the face of the difficulties involved in the proclamation of the

Mt. 6:24-34  “You cannot serve God and money.” In a society marked by flagrant inequality and at the same time dominated by economics, it is difficult, but at the same time urgent, to assimilate and live what Jesus tells us today in the Gospel: you cannot serve God and money, and then “seek first the

Mt. 6:19-23: “If your eye is healthy, your whole body is enlightened.” Jesus told us at the end of the Beatitudes: “You are the light of the world”. Thus he urged us to live in the spirit of that sermon He has just preached by looking at the crowd that listened to him, in contrast

Mt. 6:7-15   “Your Father already knows what you need before you ask Him.” Jesus today invites us to review the way we pray; he knows that we always tend to pray telling God what we need, asking Him to grant it to us because we trust Him completely; but it is not the many

Mt. 6:1-6; 16-18 “Beware of doing good works to be seen.” In today’s Gospel Jesus continues to speak to us of two concrete practices of our way of living the life of faith, our life as brothers and sisters, children of God: almsgiving and fasting, and He alerts us to that tendency that sometimes lurks

Mt. 5:43-48 “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.“ Today’s Gospel, in which Jesus continues to speak to us of the newness that He comes to bring in relation to love for our brothers and sisters, raises new demands that can only be understood from that attitude of non-violence in which Jesus

Mt. 5:38-42 “To him who slaps you on the cheek, to him also present the other.” Today’s Gospel puts us in front of what is considered to be the touchstone of Christianity, and we could say, perhaps, that it is also the essential contribution that we as Christians must make to the humanization of this

Mt. 9:36-10:8 “The harvest is plentiful, and the laborers are few.” This is the first thing Jesus says when He contemplates the multitudes who were weary and abandoned like sheep without a shepherd. Jesus is moved, and invites us to ask the Father to send workers; But He is not only moved, but He also

Luke 2:41-52 “Did you not know that I should be in my Father’s business?” These words of Jesus, in the temple, at the age of 12, are the first words of him that the Gospels transmit to us, and they are at the same time disconcerting and very revealing. The attitude and tone with which
