Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

When the Pharisees with some scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus,

B’responsabbiltà lejn is‑saħħa tal‑poplu Malti fiż‑żmien ta’ pandemija, il‑Knisja f’Malta u Għawdex mhix ser torganizza pellegrinaġġi, purċissjonijiet u manifestazzjonijiet matul ir‑Randan u l‑Ġimgħa Mqaddsa ta’ din is‑sena.
Il‑Knisja tħeġġeġ lill‑poplu Nisrani biex matul ir‑Randan jisma’ l‑Kelma ta’ Alla, jinġabar fit‑talb u jagħmel karità. Il‑Knisja timpenja ruħha biex permezz tad‑diversi entitajiet tagħha tipprovdi opportunitajiet biex il‑poplu Nisrani jkun jista’ jagħmel dan.
Il‑Knisja se tibqa’ tevalwa s‑sitwazzjoni tas‑saħħa pubblika u aktar ’il quddiem toħroġ direttivi dwar kif għandha tiġi ċċelebrata l‑liturġija tat‑Tridu tal‑Għid… Read more »
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Buongiorno!
Once again in the Square! Today’s Gospel passage (cf. Mk 1:29-39) presents the healing, by Jesus, of Peter’s mother-in-law and then of many other sick and suffering people who gather round him. The healing of Peter’s mother-in-law is the first physical healing recounted by Mark: the woman is in bed with a fever; Jesus’ attitude and gesture toward her are emblematic: “he came and took her by the hand” (v… Read more »

Homily by Bishop Joseph Galea-Curmi
One very beautiful and profound experience is the wonder of human life as it develops from the first moment of conception.

Science clearly shows there is life; not only the potential for life but human life has truly started… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Il-Ħadd li għadda rajna l-konfront ta’ Ġesù max-Xitan fis-sinagoga ta’ Kafarnahum u l-ewwel kapitlu ta’ San Mark ikompli bir-rakkont u jagħtina l-esperjenza tad-dixxipli ta’ Ġesù kif ħarġu mis-sinagoga. Is-sinagoga kienet il-post fejn jiltaqa’ l-Poplu ta’ Alla biex jitlob u biex jikkontempla u jimmedita fuq il-Kelma tal-Mulej. Għalhekk staqsew lil Ġesù biex jikkummenta l-Iskrittura.
Illum l-Evanġelju jeħodna ġo dar ta’ familja… Read more »
