Casanoves, let us feel Church
2SERMON on the CHURCH

exploiting the small 4- With a radical DONATION
Capharnaum
3Let Jesus lead our boat
Waters of the lake, in front of Capharnaum
4Mc 938-43.45.47-48 John said to him, "Teacher,
we saw someone casting out demons in your name,
and we tried to stop him, because he was not
following us."
5Only TOGETHER you will make another world
Different, but not confronted
6But Jesus said, "Do not stop him, for no one who
does a mighty work in my name will be able soon
afterward to speak evil of me.
7Doing good is the great miracle
Then you are disciples
8For the one who is not against us is for us.
9LOVE does not go against anybody
You all serve to the same Lord
10For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup
of water to drink because you belong to Christ
will by no means lose his reward.
11 Giving a glass of water is the gesture of the
Church itself
Why don't you learn the generosity of the small?
12"Whoever causes one of these little ones who
believe in me to sin, it would be better for him
if a great millstone were hung around his neck
and he were thrown into the sea.
13The small ones are image of God that "being rich,
became a beggar" (Gregory Nazanzius)
Why do you want to expel them?
14And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off.
It is better for you to enter life crippled than
with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable
fire.
15Your hands can introduce you to life
Hell is when you divide yourselves
16And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off.
It is better for you to enter life lame than with
two feet to be thrown into hell.
17If you join the feet you will not fall
Don't walk to rhythms so disjointed
18And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out.
It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God
with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into
hell, 'where their worm does not die and the fire
is not quenched.'
19Your eyes will speak of the Kingdom
If they can say look how they love each other
20 Lord, make us radical before your proposals so
that we become a Church according to the Gospel
