Saint George Preca, Priest – Feast
Readings of the day

First Reading: Sir 21, 11-17, 21 or 2 Tim 2, 1-11
Psalm: 119, 33-42

Gospel: Mk 16, 14a. 15-20

Later Jesus appeared to the eleven themselves as they were sitting at the table; and he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation. The one who believes and is baptised will be saved; but the one who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: by using my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes in their hands, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.” 

So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and proclaimed the good news everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that accompanied it… Read more »

Mass offered for all children with terminal illness

08/05/2020   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa, the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-Omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Tħallux qalbkom titħawwad”. Dan hu l-kliem li Ġesù qal lid-dixxipli tiegħu. Kliem ta’ konsolazzjoni, ta’ inkoraġġiment. Dan il-kliem jgħidu proprju fl-aħħar ċena, ftit qabel ma kellu jgħaddi mill-passjoni ħarxa u l-qtil brutali tiegħu.

Dan il-kliem qalu lid-dixxipli tiegħu għax kien jaf li fil-fatt id-dixxipli tiegħu kienu sejrin mhux biss jitħawdu imma jitħarbtu.  Kif jgħaddu minn dik l-esperjenza kerha u qarsa tal-passjoni u l-mewt ta’ Ġesù, id-dixxipli tiegħu, ħlief wieħed, kollha ħarbu… Read more »

Is-silta tal-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna propju tikkonkludi b’din l-osservazzjoni li jagħtina l-Evanġelista Luqa: “Marija, min-naħa tagħha baqgħet tgħożż f’qalbha dawn il-ħwejjeġ kollha u taħseb fuqhom bejnha u bejn ruħha” (Lq 2:19)… Read more »
