L-omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

Lil Marija narawha bħala Omm il-Knisja diġà fil-bidu tal-Knisja meta, kif smajna fil-Ktieb tal-Atti tal-Appostli, kienet miġbura flimkien mal-appostli huma u jitolbu. Jidher li l-appostli fehmu malajr dak li għamel Ġesù fuq is-salib meta lil Marija qalilha: “Hawn hu ibnek” u lil Ġwanni d-dixxiplu l-maħbub qallu “Hawn hi ommok” u minn dak il-ħin Ġwanni ħadha għandu. Hemmhekk, fuq is-salib, lil ommu taha lilna bħala ommna ħalli tkun hi l-omm li tmexxina fil-ħajja tagħna… Read more »

The Gospel of the day: 1st June

01/06/2020

The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church – Memorial
Readings of the day

First Reading: Gen 3, 9-15-20 or Acts 1, 12-14
Psalm: 86 (87), 1-2.3 & 5.6-7

Gospel: Jn 19, 25-34

Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. 

After this Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said to fulfil the scripture, “I thirst.” A bowl full of vinegar stood there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop and held it to his mouth. When Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished”; and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. 

Since it was the day of Preparation, in order to prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the sabbath, for that sabbath was a high day, the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him; but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water.  Read more »
