February 15, 2026 - Sixth Sunday of Ordinary Time

Dear Sisters and Brothers,

This Sunday’s Gospel (Matthew 5:17–37) places us firmly within the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus challenges his listeners—and us—to move beyond a minimal understanding of faith. “I have come not to abolish but to fulfill,” he says, and then he proceeds to raise the bar. It is no longer enough simply to avoid murder; we must confront anger and resentment. It is no longer enough to avoid adultery; we must examine our desires, our intentions, and the fidelity of our hearts. At first glance, these words may feel heavy or even discouraging. Jesus’ teaching seems demanding, uncompromising, and difficult to live. Yet when we listen carefully, we hear not a message of condemnation but a call to deeper love - love that is honest, faithful, and rooted in the heart.

Febrero 15^th, Sexto domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

Queridos hermanos y hermanas:

El Evangelio de este domingo (Mateo 5, 17–37) nos sitúa de lleno en el Sermón de la Montaña, donde Jesús desafía a sus oyentes —y a nosotros— a ir más allá de una comprensión mínima de la fe. «No he venido a abolir, sino a dar cumplimiento», dice, y a continuación eleva el listón. Ya no basta simplemente con evitar el homicidio; debemos confrontar la ira y el resentimiento. Ya no basta evitar el adulterio; debemos examinar nuestros deseos, nuestras intenciones y la fidelidad de nuestro corazón.A primera vista, estas palabras pueden parecer pesadas o incluso desalentadoras. La enseñanza de Jesús parece exigente, inflexible y difícil de vivir. Sin embargo, cuando escuchamos con atención, no oímos un mensaje de condena, sino una llamada a un amor más profundo: un amor honesto, fiel y arraigado en el corazón.

“We are all born originals, some in life become photocopies.”

Carlo Acutis was born in London, Britain, on May 3, 1991, to Italian parents, Carlo and Antonia Salzano, who were in the City for work. He was baptized on May 18 at Our Lady of Dolours Church in London. In September 1991, the family returned to Milan. At the age of four, his parents enrolled him in kindergarten, which he attended with great enthusiasm. When the time came for compulsory schooling, he was enrolled at the San Carlo Institute in Milan, a well-known private school. After three months, he was transferred to elementary school at the Tommaseo Institute of the Marcelline Sisters, because it was closer to his home. On June 16, 1998, he received his First Communion, earlier than his usual age, thanks to special permission from his spiritual director, Fr Ilio Carrai, and Archbishop Pasquale Macchi. The celebration took place in the Monastery of the cloistered Romite nuns of the Order of St. Ambrose ad Nemus in Bemaga di Perego (Lecco). The Sacrament of Confirmation, on May 24, 2003, was administered to him in the church of Santa Maria Segreta, by Monsignor Luigi Testore, former secretary of Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini and parish priest of San Marco in Milan.

'Todos nacemos originales, algunos en la vida se convierten en fotocopias'

Carlo Acutis nació en Londres, Gran Bretaña, el 3 de mayo de 1991, de padres italianos, Carlo y Antonia Salzano, que estaban en la City por motivos de trabajo. Fue bautizado el 18 de mayo en la iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores de Londres. En septiembre de 1991, la familia regresó a Milán. A los cuatro años, sus padres le inscriben en la guardería, a la que asiste con gran entusiasmo. Cuando llegó el momento de la escolarización obligatoria, lo matricularon en el Instituto San Carlo de Milán, una conocida escuela pública. Al cabo de tres meses, fue trasladado a la escuela primaria del Instituto Tommaseo de las Hermanas Marcelinas, por estar más cerca de su casa. El 16 de junio de 1998 recibió la Primera Comunión, antes de su edad habitual, gracias a un permiso especial de su director espiritual, el padre Ilio Carrai, y del arzobispo Pasquale Macchi. La celebración tuvo lugar en el monasterio de las monjas de clausura romitas dell'Ordine di Sant'Ambrogio ad Nemus, en Bemaga di Perego (Lecco). El sacramento de la Confirmación, el 24 de mayo de 2003, le fue administrado en la iglesia de Santa Maria Segreta, por monseñor Luigi Testore, antiguo secretario del cardenal Carlo Maria Martini y párroco de San Marco en Milán.
