My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.

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

Psalm: 102, 1-4.8-9.13-14.17-18

At that time Jesus said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. 

“Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Read more »

“True freedom belongs to those who choose what is right” – The Archbishop

Thanksgiving Mass for Scouts and Girl Guides

  The Church at the Archbishop's Seminary, Tal-Virtù

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Niftakru li fir-rakkont tal-Milied, l-anġli jidhru lil grupp ta’ ragħajja. Ir-ragħajja kienu meqjusa bħala kategorija emarġinati, mhumiex rispettati, anzi mistmerra,imma l-messaġġ ta’ ferħ li tweldilna salvatur jingħad l-ewwel lilhom. Ġwanni l-Evanġelista, meta jindika min hu Ġesù, isejjaħlu ‘ħaruf’. “Araw il-Ħaruf ta’ Alla, li jneħħi d-dnub tad-dinja” (Ġw 1:29).

Ġesù, f’din is-silta li għadna kemm smajna minn kapitlu 10 tal-Evanġelju ta’ San Ġwann, isejjaħ lilu nnifsu bħala ragħaj… Read more »

The Gospel of the day: 28th April

Readings of the day

First Reading: Acts 12, 24 – 13, 5a
Psalm: 66 (67), 2-3.5.6 & 8

Gospel: Jn 12, 44-50

In those days, Jesus cried aloud: “Whoever believes in me believes not in me but in him who sent me. And whoever sees me sees him who sent me. I have come as light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in the darkness. I do not judge anyone who hears my words and does not keep them, for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 

The one who rejects me and does not receive my word has a judge; on the last day the word that I have spoken will serve as judge, for I have not spoken on my own, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak. And I know that his commandment is eternal life… Read more »

Ħa nimmaġinaw ftit li qegħdin fis-7 ta’ Awwissu, mhux hawnhekk imma l-Arġentina, il-post minn fejn ġie l-Papa. U fil-periferija tal-kapitali tal-Arġentina, Buenos Aires, hemm kju twil ħafna ta’ nies, tul ta’ xi 15-il triq, qegħdin mexjin bil-mod il-mod lejn knisja.

Dawn in-nies jiġu fis-7 ta’ Awwissu, fil-festa tiegħu, mill-Arġentina kollha biex jagħtu qima lil dan il-qaddis, min biex jirringrazzjah, min biex jitolbu… Read more »
