Reading of the Word of God

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Whoever lives and believes in me
will never die.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Micah 2,1-5

Disaster for those who plot evil, who lie in bed planning mischief! No sooner is it dawn than they do it, since they have the power to do so. Seizing the fields that they covet, they take over houses as well, owner and house they seize alike, the man himself as well as his inheritance. So Yahweh says this: Look, I am now plotting a disaster for this breed from which you will not extricate your necks; you will not hold your heads up then, for the times will be disastrous indeed. That day they will make a satire on you, they will strike up a dirge and say, 'We have been stripped of everything; my people's land has been divided up, no one else can restore it to them, our fields have been awarded to our despoiler.' Because of this, you will have no one to measure out a share in Yahweh's community.

 

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

If you believe, you will see the glory of God,
thus says the Lord.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Micah lives in Jerusalem, a city that is not so different from the Samaria described by Amos. He not only presents an accusation of tyranny and oppression, but he acutely reveals the perversion which seizes those who become slaves of the power they exercise. They devise evil even at night; all of their time is occupied by the evil one. The prophet warns his readers not to be tricked by the desire to possess, because everything ends and falls into ruin. Even in our time, the love of money continues to create disparities and injustice and leaves the poor outside the door, as happened to the poor man Lazarus. The world has never been as materially wealthy as it is today, and yet the poor have never been as numerous. For God this is an unbearable injustice. The cry of the poor reaches God's hear and moves him. The prophetic Word comes to denounce the scandal of this disparity. Today the gap between the rich and the poor does not stop broadening: it is an inequality that is at the origin of conflicts and wars that continue to stain with blood the earth. The beginning of this passage is emblematic. It starts with "alas!" an expression that communicates both a threat and regret for those who do evil, urging them to recognize what they are doing before it is too late. Evil will indeed turn against the violent: those who devise evil day and night are fooling themselves if they think they will go unpunished. The Bible wisdom warns that injustice is always an offense against God, who is Father of all.

Prayer is the heart of the life of the Community of Sant'Egidio and is its absolute priority. At the end of the day, every the Community of Sant'Egidio, large or small, gathers around the Lord to listen to his Word. The Word of God and the prayer are, in fact, the very basis of the whole life of the Community. The disciples cannot do other than remain at the feet of Jesus, as did Mary of Bethany, to receive his love and learn his ways (Phil. 2:5).
So every evening, when the Community returns to the feet of the Lord, it repeats the words of the anonymous disciple: " Lord, teach us how to pray". Jesus, Master of prayer, continues to answer: "When you pray, say: Abba, Father". It is not a simple exhortation, it is much more. With these words Jesus lets the disciples participate in his own relationship with the Father. Therefore in prayer, the fact of being children of the Father who is in heaven, comes before the words we may say. So praying is above all a way of being! That is to say we are children who turn with faith to the Father, certain that they will be heard.
Jesus teaches us to call God "Our Father". And not simply "Father" or "My Father". Disciples, even when they pray on their own, are never isolated nor they are orphans; they are always members of the Lord's family.
In praying together, beside the mystery of being children of God, there is also the mystery of brotherhood, as the Father of the Church said: "You cannot have God as father without having the church as mother". When praying together, the Holy Spirit assembles the disciples in the upper room together with Mary, the Lord's mother, so that they may direct their gaze towards the Lord's face and learn from Him the secret of his Heart.
 The Communities of Sant'Egidio all over the world gather in the various places of prayer and lay before the Lord the hopes and the sufferings of the tired, exhausted crowds of which the Gospel speaks ( Mat. 9: 3-7 ), In these ancient crowds we can see the huge masses of the modern cities, the millions of refugees who continue to flee their countries, the poor, relegated to the very fringe of life and all those who are waiting for someone to take care of them. Praying together includes the cry, the invocation, the aspiration, the desire for peace, the healing and salvation of the men and women of this world. Prayer is never in vain; it rises ceaselessly to the Lord so that anguish is turned into hope, tears into joy, despair into happiness, and solitude into communion. May the Kingdom of God come soon among people!
