The premature death of Miriam Pace is unfortunately not the only one to have occurred due to irresponsible practices in the construction industry. We hear of residents who end up homeless, injured or even buried under the rubble, but also workers, including a considerable number of foreigners, who may be compelled to accept any type of work they are offered, and who are unfortunately thought of only when one of them dies on a construction site… Read more »

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things.
I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,

Jesus addressed this parable to those who were convinced of their own righteousness and despised everyone else. “Two people went up to the temple area to pray; one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector. The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself, ‘O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity–greedy, dishonest, adulterous–or even like this tax collector… Read more »

Il-mistoqsija liema hu l-ewwel jew liema hu l-akbar kmandament fost il-kmandamenti kollha kienet mistoqsija li jħobbu jiddiskutuha fi żmien Ġesù.

L-Evanġelju tal-lum hu każ minnhom: hu ma setax jifhem x’qed jiġri, kif Marija kien se jkollha tarbija. Imma anke meta twieled Ġesù, rah jitwieled f’għar. Wara li twieled, kellu jitlaq lejn l-Eġittu minħabba li Erodi kien qed ifittex li joqtol lil Ġesù… Read more »

One of the scribes came to Jesus and asked him, “Which is the first of all the commandments?”
