Auxiliary Bishop-elect interviewed by The Malta Independent

20/07/2018

  • Human life has to always be cherished, whether it is in the form of eight cells in the womb, or in the form of a person in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, said Auxiliary Bishop Elect Joseph Galea Curmi on the Malta Independent’s online interview programme Indepth.

    Interviewed by The Malta Independent Editor-in-Chief Rachel Attard, Galea Curmi appealed that just because a people were coming from African countries, we should never speak of them as if they were “a piece of furniture” as opposed to being humans. “That is a terrible thing”, Mgr…

The Gospel of the day: 20th July

20/07/2018

  • Saint Matthew 12:1-8 

    Jesus was going through a field of grain on the sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat them. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “See, your disciples are doing what is unlawful to do on the sabbath.” 

    He said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry, how he went into the house of God and ate the bread of offering, which neither he nor his companions but only the priests could lawfully eat? Or have you not read in the law that on the sabbath the priests serving in the temple violate the sabbath and are innocent? I say to you, something greater than the temple is here. 

    If you knew what this meant, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned these innocent men. For the Son of Man is Lord of the sabbath.”
