The Gospel of the day: 18th February

    • Saint Matthew 7:7-12 Jesus said to his disciples: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asks for a loaf of bread, or a snake when he asks for a fish? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him. Do to others whatever you would have them do to you…

Seminar: “The Empty Nest – Couple life after raising children” organised by Genesis 2

  • This seminar is intended to raise awareness and empower participants to generate different solutions according to their own particular needs. A presentation will be held by family counsellor, Ms Silvia Galea, to be followed by discussion groups. This seminar is intended for middle aged couples whose children have fled the nest or will soon do so.

The Gospel of the day: 17th February

  • Saint Luke 11:29-32 While still more people gathered in the crowd, Jesus said to them, “This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah. Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. At the judgment the queen of the south will rise with the men of this generation and she will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and there is something greater than Solomon here. At the judgment the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation and condemn it, because at the preaching of Jonah they repented, and there is something greater than Jonah here.”  ​Saints of the day: The Seven Holy Founders of the Order of Servites
