GOSPEL (Lk 10:13-16)
who rejects me, rejects him who sent me.
who rejects me, rejects him who sent me.
+ From the Gospel according to Luke
At that time, Jesus said
Woe a te, Corazìn, guai a te, Betsàida! Perché, se a Tiro e a Sidòne fossero avvenuti i prodigi che avvennero in mezzo a voi, già da tempo, vestite di sacco e cosparse di cenere, si sarebbero convertite. Ebbene, nel giudizio, Tiro e Sidòne saranno trattate meno duramente di voi.
E tu, Cafàrnao, sarai forse innalzata fino al cielo? Fino agli inferi precipiterai!
Chi ascolta voi ascolta me, chi disprezza voi disprezza me. E chi disprezza me, disprezza colui che mi ha mandato».

Commento
Una ragazza morta a ventiquattro anni diventa dopo neppure cinquant'anni modello di tutta la Chiesa. Pio XI era molto devoto di santa Teresa di Gesù Bambino e la nominò patrona delle Missioni, lei, la cui breve vita si svolse tutta fra Alenon e Lisieux e che dopo i suoi quindici anni non usci più dal convento.
Quanto spesso Gesù dimostra che i pensieri di Dio non sono i nostri pensieri, né le sue vie le nostre vie I nostri pensieri vengono dall'orgoglio, quelli di Dio dall'umiltà; le nostre vie sono tutte uno sforzo per essere grandi, quelle di Dio si percorrono solo diventando piccoli. Come sulle strade per andare a Nord bisogna prendere la direzione opposta al Sud, così per camminare sulle vie di Dio dobbiamo prendere la direzione opposta a quella verso cui il nostro orgoglio ci spinge.
Teresa aveva grandi ambizioni, grandi aspirazioni: voleva essere contemplativa e active apostle, doctor, missionary and martyr, and writes that only one form of the martyrdom and wished all seemed a little ... the Lord gave her to understand that there is only one way to please him: be humble and small, love him with ease, confidence and the abandonment of a child to the father from whom knows he is loved. "I'm not looking for great things, beyond my strength. I am calm and peaceful as a child quieted at its mother." ~ Beautiful Psalm 130 can be applied to the letter to Teresa's life.
So this young woman in the Church revived the purest spirit of the Gospel in mind the essential truth that before God you must give to receive. We tend to look always what we give, Teresa felt that God is love always ready to give and receive everything from him. Who wants to put their generosity before the mercy before the merciful love of God, is a superb, and he who receives what God gives you the simplicity of a child comes to holiness is not happy to be able to do anything and everything from God is a spiritual attitude which is also a gift from God and is anything but passivity. Teresa made of themselves a heroic and lived in sickness and in proof of spirit with the energy and the strength of a giant: the power of God manifested in his weakness, that she abandoned confi! cios in divine hands. He succeeded so in a wonderful way to transform the cross into love, a heavy cross, if she herself says at the end of his life that he did not believe it was possible to suffer so much.
learn this great lesson of trust, pettiness, joy and ask Teresa to help us as you walk in the poverty of spirit and humility of heart. We like her flooded by a river of peace.
"St. Therese of the Child Jesus in the Blessed Virgin to intercede instill in my daughter Marika and all athletes who train the gift of faith and the sacraments!"
Praise to you Lord!
