Psalm: 2, 7-8.10-11
Gospel: Mt 4, 12-17. 23-25
When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee. He left Nazareth and went to live in Capernaum by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali, that what had been said through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled: Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death light has arisen.”
From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” He went around all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness among the people… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles J. Scicluna
Id-djaknu għadu kemm ħabbrilna l-jum qaddis tal-Għid li se niċċelebraw ftit tax-xhur oħra. Il-Knisja tħabbar il-ġurnata tal-Għid propju f’dan il-jum iddedikat lill-misteru kbir tal-Epifanija għaliex illum niċċelebraw lill-Mulej, dawl minn dawl, li jidher lill-ġnus permezz ta’ kewkba tiddi fid-dlamijiet.
Fil-lejl qaddis tal-Għid bix-xemgħat mixgħula mill-blandun qaddis, aħna niddikjaraw li Ġesù huwa dawl, id-dawl ta’ Kristu. U b’xi mod din il-festa ta’ dawl tħares lejn il-festa l-kbira fejn il-Knisja tbierek l-element tan-nar u tikkonsagrah bħala xbieha ħajja ta’ Kristu, dawl minn dawl, li fil-misteru tal-mewt u l-qawmien tiegħu mill-imwiet, għeleb id-dlamijiet tal-ħażen u tal-mibegħda u nissel fil-qalb ta’ kull wieħed u waħda minna dik ix-xrara tħeġġeġ tan-nar li jkebbes il-qalb imqaddsa tiegħu… Read more »

We customarily usher in a new year filled with resolve to improve something about ourselves, from simple acts like walking more for the sake of our health and reaching out to loved ones, to more complex objectives concerning our personal or professional development.
Periods of introspection should not be shunned. On the contrary, they ought to be embraced with far more regularity than the annual tradition dictates or our good intentions risk suffering the same fate as our treasured narcissus flower, which wilts within weeks of achieving its wondrous winter bloom… Read more »
