L-omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi
San Bonifaċju kien missjunarju kbir fis-seklu 8 fl-Ewropa ċentrali, speċjalment f’dik li llum tissejjaħ il-Ġermanja. Twieled l-Ingilterra u meta kien għadu żgħir daħal fil-ħajja monastika. Kien bniedem intelliġenti ħafna, kien qisu maqtugħ għall-istudju. Imma meta ġie ordnat saċerdot ta’ 30 sena, wera x-xewqa qawwija li jmur missjunarju fil-kontinent Ewropew.
L-ewwel missjoni li mar, flimkien ma’ sħabu, kienet f’dik li llum hi l-Olanda – kienet tissejjaħ Frisija… Read more »

♫ Goodness Of God ♫
I love You, Lord
For Your mercy never fails me
All my days, I’ve been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
Cause all my life You have been faithful
And all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
And in darkest night You are close like no other
I’ve known You as a Father
I’ve known You as a Friend
And I have lived in the goodness of God, yeah
And all my life You have been faithful, ohh
And all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God, yeah
‘Cause Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
With my life laid down, I’m surrendered now
I give You everything
‘Cause Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me, oh-ohh
‘Cause Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
With my life laid down, I’m surrendered now
I give You everything
‘Cause Your goodness is running after, it keeps running after me
And all my life You have been faithful
And all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I’m gonna sing of the goodness of God

Gospel: Mk 12, 35-37

The great crowd heard this with delight… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles J. Scicluna
Il-mistoqsija ta’ dan, wieħed mill-kittieba, kienet mistoqsija importanti. Fi żmien Ġesù kien hemm kontroversja: liema fost ħafna liġijiet li kienu żvilupaw mill-ewwel kotba tal-Iskrittura li kellhom diġà l-liġijiet li ta Mosè lill-poplu Lhudi, liema minn ħafna mijiet ta’ liġijiet kienet l-iżjed importanti, liema liġi l-iżjed importanti.
Dawn il-liġijiet kellhom l-isem ukoll ta’ kmandament. Il-kelma kmandament f’dan il-kuntest mhux qed jirreferi biss għall-10 kmandamenti imma għal-liġijiet kollha li mbagħad żviluppaw wara l-esperejenza tal-għoti tal-10 kelmiet, tal-10 kmandamenti lill-poplu Lhudi… Read more »
