Sant'Ambrogio
Tuesday - Is Sal 95 40.1 to 11 Mt from 18.12 to 14: God does not want the little ones are lost. The lost sheep.
The text of Isaiah says in one breath. Both won the heart with its invocations, reflections, promises of salvation shouted loudly to the mountains but also with reference to the inconsistency of man, compared to the grass lawn that is already dry in the evening while the word of the Lord endures forever . But the image that remains indelible in the heart and comfort is offered in the last verse, when he presents the goodness of God pastor comparing it to "leading the lambs on the chest and leads slowly the ewes. " Here is all the tenderness of God made flesh for love of man, which gently care and attention. The figure of the Good Shepherd who has greatly impressed our brethren even in time of persecution, much to represent it in the catacombs, also reappears in the narrative of the gospel today. Who is this good shepherd who leaves ninety-nine on the mountains to go in search of the lost? And 'he himself, the Christ incarnate, who is in search of humanity wants to save everyone, because everyone but especially for those who feel the weight of his own weakness and feel the past. The example of Jesus is followed by great souls who are endowed with the his own feelings: of these we can see that the St. Ambrose Church in Milan today remember with particular solemnity, having been the initiator of the Ambrosian rite. Elected bishop of Milan by acclamation, yet a catechumen, he had to accept, recognizing the will of the Lord in the much of the faithful. He was the father of the poor and oppressed of every rescuer and defender of the Church from any political opposition to the Senate, filoariana Empress, the Emperor Theodosius which prevented him from entering the church before doing public penance for the massacre of innocents in order Greece to avenge the death of a senior officer of the Empire.
Newspaper "In His Image" - comment by Msgr. Francesco Ruppi
the eve of the Immaculate Conception, the Church makes us listen to a brief Gospel that reminds one of the wonderful secrets of Jesus' parable of the lost sheep
is very touching is addressed to each of us . In fact, we all lost sheep, perhaps we were when we were young, but also the elderly and the old show lost and falls. The fact that the pastor, who is Christ, leaves 99 sheep in the fold and goes in search of the lost sheep, is the proof that God loves everyone, especially to sinners. How many times Jesus tried to make us understand that we are all in God's heart and if we are in his heart, we are looking for anywhere, anytime and in all age groups, to make us back on track. When a sinner comes back on the right road is great celebration in heaven. The conclusion of this page is made just for us Matt: your heavenly Father does not want to lose even one of the least among you. "
