Saint Thomas, apostle – Feast
Readings of the day

First Reading: Eph 2, 19-22
Psalm: 116, 1.2

Gospel: Jn 20, 24-29

Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

Now a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them… Read more »

Draft Equality Law stifles the fundamental right for religious belief and the right of parental choice

02/07/2020

The Church Schools Association, the Secretariat for Catholic Education and the Council of Major Religious Superiors, together with representatives of parent organisations whose children attend Church schools, expressed their serious reservations on the Draft Equality Law (Bill 96) currently under discussion in Parliament. The draft, which should have had the aim of promoting respect towards diversity, is in actual fact undermining freedom of religious belief with dire consequences  on the expression of a Catholic ethos inherent in Church schools… Read more »

02/07/2020   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at The Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

“Agħmel il-qalb, ibni, dnubietek maħfura” (Mt 9:2). Kemm huma kliem tassew sbieħ dan li jgħid Ġesù lil dan ir-raġel mifluġ li ġie ppreżentat quddiemu mixħut fuq friex imwassal hemmhekk minn sħabu. Kif ra l-fidi tagħhom, Ġesù jgħidlu: “Agħmel il-qalb, ibni, dnubietek maħfura”.

Min jaf kemm saċerdoti ltqajna u kellna x-xorti nisimgħu dan il-kliem għażiż ta’ Ġesù li jintqal lilna mis-saċerdot hu u jaħfrilna dnubietna… Read more »

Readings of the day

First Reading: Amos 7, 10-17
Psalm: 18, 8.9.10.11

After entering a boat, Jesus made the crossing, and came into his own town. And there people brought to him a paralytic lying on a stretcher. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Courage, child, your sins are forgiven.” At that, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming.”

Jesus knew what they were thinking, and said, “Why do you harbour evil thoughts? … Read more »

He brought many closer to Jesus – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

Mass on the feast of the Blessed Nazju Falzon

01/07/2020   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Bdew jitolbuh ħafna biex jibqa’ sejjer ’il barra minn pajjiżhom.” Din kienet ir-reazzjoni tan-nies – kif rajna fl-Evanġelju, tal-“belt bi ħġarha” – għal dak li kien għamel Ġesù. Qabadhom il-biża’, u riedu li jitlaq. Flok semgħuh biex jistgħu jagħrfuh u japprezzawh, qalulu jitlaq ’il barra minn pajjiżhom.

Nazju Falzon, li tiegħu qegħdin nagħmlu llum it-tifkira, kien bniedem li mhux biss għaraf u apprezza lil Ġesù, imma ried li nies oħra isiru jafuh u japprezzawh… Read more »
