Saint Joseph, with you, for you,
we bless the Lord.
He chose you among all men
to be the chaste spouse of Mary,
the one who would remain at the threshold of the mystery
of her divine maternity,
and who, after her, would accept it in faith
as the work of the Holy Spirit…
Saint Joseph, Husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary – Solemnity
Saint Matthew 1:16.18-21.24a

Pope Francis’ remarks at Sunday’s Angelus focused on the Gospel of the day, which tells how a group of Greek pilgrims in Jerusalem wanted “to see Jesus.” The Lord’s response to these religious minded Greeks is “surprising”, the Pope said, but ultimately reveals a deeper truth than a simple yes or no answer.

So a division occurred in the crowd because of him…
Saint John 7:1-2.10.25-30
Jesus moved about within Galilee; but he did not wish to travel in Judea, because the Jews were trying to kill him. But the Jewish feast of Tabernacles was near. But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, he himself also went up, not openly but, as it were, in secret.
So some of the inhabitants of Jerusalem said, “Is he not the one they are trying to kill? And look, he is speaking openly and they say nothing to him…
“Il-kundizjonijiet li jgħixu fihom miljuni ta’ migranti u refuġjati huma diżumani. Min hu mġiegħel iħalli pajjiżu ħafna drabi hu vittma ta’ inganni, vjolenza u abbużi ta’ kull xorta. Il-pajjiżi jridu jagħtu tweġibiet aktar konkreti dwar kif nistgħu negħlbu l-isfidi tal-migranti.” Hekk qal il-Papa Franġisku waqt il-laqgħa mal-membri tal-Kummissjoni Internazzjonali Kattolika għall-Migrazzjoni.
Il-Papa saħaq li l-Mulej “kien bagħat lil Mosè għand il-faragħun biex jikkonvinċih jeħles lill-poplu tiegħu…
