News from the Church in Malta
Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!
In our journey of catechesis on prayer, today and next week we will see how, thanks to Jesus Christ, prayer opens us up to the Trinity –to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit – to the immense sea of God who is Love. It is Jesus who opened up Heaven to us and projected us into a relationship with God… Read more »

As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the Twelve disciples aside by themselves, and said to them on the way, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death, and hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified, and he will be raised on the third day.”
Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee approached him with her sons and did him homage, wishing to ask him for something… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Ġesù għandu kliem iebes lejn min juża r-reliġjon — fil-każ tagħna l-Knisja — bħala sellum ta’ rikonoxximent. Meta nisimgħu lill-Papa Franġiksu, ħafna drabi nifhmu eżattament x’jrid jgħid Ġesù. Il-Papa għandu allerġija għal min jinqeda bil-Knisja biex jilħaq. Il-kelma ‘jinqeda’ hija kelma kemmxejn iebsa imma l-Papa ġieli jużaha.
Ġesù, bil-ħarsa ħanina imma għarfa tiegħu, iħares lejn uħud mill-Kittieba u l-Fariżej u jara din il-marda, dan il-virus tal-ambizzjoni, il-virus tal-għatx għar-rikonoxximent… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Il-kliem ta’ Ġesù fl-Evanġelju llum huwa kliem li jidher diffiċli biex tgħixu. Ġesù qal li ma għandniex niġġudikaw, ma għandniex nikkundannaw, għandna naħfru, nagħtu u nħennu bħalma jħenn għalina Missierna tas-sema. Hu kliem li jidher diffiċli, imma hu dan li jgħid Ġesù li jista’ jġib il-paċi fil-qalb tagħna u s-serenità, u jgħinna biex inkunu ħielsa.
X’jiġifieri meta Ġesù jgħid li ma niġġudikawx u ma nikkundannawx? … Read more »

Talba għat-Tqarbina tax-Xewqa
Ġesù, jiena nemmen li Inti tinsab tabilħaqq fis-Sagrament tal-Ewkaristija.
Irrid inħobbok fuq kollox u fuq kulħadd.
Inti taf li nixtieq nirċevik ġewwa fija.
Imma ġaladarba bħalissa ma nistax nilqgħek ġewwa fija sagramentalment,
nitolbok li tiġi fija spiritwalment.
Ejja għandi Ġesù tiegħi, biex jiena niġi għandek… Read more »
