San Pawl telaq minn Ġerusalemm mimli ħeġġa bl-awtorizzazzjoni tal-qassis il-kbir biex imur Damasku u hemmhekk “jaqbad l-irġiel u n-nisa kollha li jsib miexja fit-Triq tal-Mulej u jeħodhom marbuta Ġerusalemm. Huwa u sejjer kif qorob lejn Damasku, f’daqqa waħda” madwar Sawl, Lhudi minn Tarsu, Pawlu ċittadin Ruman, “idda madwaru dawl mis-sema. Waqa’ fl-art u sema leħen jgħidlu: ‘Sawl, Sawl għaliex qiegħed tippersegwitani?’ ‘Min int, Mulej?‘ U l-leħen wieġbu: ‘Jiena Ġesu li int qiegħed tippersegwitah imma issa qum u idħol il-belt u hemmhekk jgħidulek x’għandek tagħmel’ Dawk li kienu sejrin miegħu baqgħu mbikkma billi kienu semgħu l-leħen imma ma raw lil ħadd… Read more »
Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!
In the preceding catechesis we saw how Christian prayer is “anchored” in the Liturgy. Today, we will shed light on how the Liturgy always enters daily life: on the streets, in offices, on public transportation… And there it continues the dialogue with God: the person who prays is like someone in love who always bears the beloved in his or her heart wherever they go… Read more »

Readings of the day
First Reading: Wisdom 14, 3-7
Psalm: 106, 21-31
Second Reading: 2 Cor 11, 18.24-31
Gospel: Mk 16, 15-20
In those days, Jesus said to the Eleven, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He who believes and is baptised will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that attended it… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Jekk hemm xi ħaġa li tolqtok f’dan l-Evanġelju skont San Mark li għadna kif smajna, din hi l-imħabba kbira ta’ Ġesù lejn kull persuna; kif Ġesù ried dejjem il-ġid lil kull persuna, u għalhekk kien jgħin biex ifejjaq lil min kien marid, biex ineħħi dak li jfixkel il-ħajja, u jgħin lill-bniedem biex jgħix ħajtu mill-ġdid.
Ir-rispett lejn il-ħajja ta’ kull bniedem
Hawnhekk hija verament sabiħa d-deskrizzjoni meta Ġesù jidħol fid-dar ta’ Xmun, fejn kien hemm omm il-mara tiegħu li kienet ma tiflaħx… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Hemm mumenti fl-Evanġelju fejn lil Ġesù narawh b’folol kbar ta’ nies. L-Evanġelju tal-lum hu wieħed minnhom, meta lanqas laħqu waslu Ġesù u d-dixxipli, u rabtu d-dgħajsa max-xatt, li ma tfaċċawx ħafna nies. U dawn in-nies kellhom skop partikulari: li jġibulu l-morda biex Ġesù jfejjaqhom. Mhux biss hemmhekk fejn ix-xatt, imma meta daħal fl-ibliet u fl-irħula u fil-kampanja, kienu qishom jagħmlu laqgħat kbar, mass meetings ta’ morda, u jitolbu lil Ġesù jfejjaqhom… Read more »
