S. FAUSTI - The disciple lives in the light of God's judgment, the antidote of all hypocrisy. The judgment reveals itself in the Paschal Mystery of Jesus, Who baptizes us in the Spirit's fire after that He Himself has gone through the waters of the death. This is His eschatological coming, already happened on the cross, which judges the world in order to save it. In reality the definitive judgment of God on the world is the gift of His Spirit. It marks the beginning of the last times when the men are called to conversion and new life in the Baptism . This fire, that Jesus when ascended to to heavens, sents on the earth, it is very different from the one invoked by James and John on the Samaritans. It is the final result of His mission, the fulfillment of all God's plan. In the Eucharist, the disciple receives the Spirit. It is a fire that not even the waters of the underworld cannot extinguish , it is the love of God for the man, which flows from the own death of the Son. The piece is characterized by the hurry In fact, His love for us is a fire that necessarily wants to inflame the one whom He loves. There is no love that doesn't wish to be loved in return. Jesus came to bring a fire, which has to pass through the water. What He wants, this forces Him to go through what He doesn't want. The resurrection comes after the death. He Himself is parted between a desire and an anguish, up to drip blood. It is the fight, in which the love wins the extreme test He himself, the Son, came to visit us from the Father in all our anguish, because we were free from it . The Messiah came to bring peace and unity among the men. But His peace comes through the division. The peace is not cheap, but to a high price, at the cost of the life. However, God makes all things new (Ap 21.3-5 ...). This division is required by the decision to follow the Lord.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 1:39-56. Mary set out in those days and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, "Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled." And Mary said: "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior. For he has looked with favor on his lowly servant; from this day all generations will call me blessed. The Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. He has shown might with his arm, dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart. He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel , remembering his promise of mercy, The promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever." Mary remained with her about three months and then returned to her home.
