come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

Gospel: Jn 6, 60-69
In those days, when many of Jesus’ disciples heard him speaking about the bread of life, they said, “This teaching is difficult; who can accept it?” But Jesus, being aware that his disciples were complaining about it, said to them, “Does this offend you? Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Kif jista’ dan jagħtina ġismu biex nikluh?” Din kienet il-mistoqsija li bdew jagħmlu l-Lhud huma u jitħaddtu bejniethom. Ġesù kien għadu kif spjega: “Jiena hu l-ħobż ħaj li niżel mis-sema. Jekk xi ħadd jiekol minn dan il-ħobż jgħix għal dejjem.” Kif semgħu dal-kliem, bdew jgħidu: kif jista’ jkun dan?
U Ġesù jkompli jispjega u jenfasizza l-kliem li qal. Jitkellem b’mod ċar u jgħid: “Min jiekol ġismi u jixrob demmi għandu l-ħajja ta’ dejjem, u jien inqajmu mill-imwiet fl-aħħar jum.” Ġesù dejjem jitkellem ċar… Read more »

Readings of the day
First Reading: Acts 9, 1-20
Psalm: 116 (117), 1.2
Gospel: Jn 6, 52-59
In those days, the Jews disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them.
Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died… Read more »

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!
Prayer is dialogue with God; and every creature, in a certain sense, “dialogues” with God. Within the human being, prayer becomes word, invocation, hymn, poetry… The divine Word is made flesh, and in each person’s flesh the word returns to God in prayer.
We create words, but they are also our mothers, and to some extent they shape us… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Ġesù jkompli jispjega fis-Sinagoga ta’ Kafarnaum. Xi jfisser meta hu jgħid: “Jiena hu l-ħobż tal-ħajja” (Ġw 6:35 u Ġw 6:48). Nifhmu li f’din is-silta tal-Evanġelju, jinsisti ħafna fuq il-qawmien mill-imwiet u l-ħajja ta’ dejjem. Aħna kultant ikollna tentazzjoni, anke meta nippritkaw jew nitkellmu fuq Ġesù, li donnu ġab soluzzjonijiet għal din id-dinja, li l-messaġġ tiegħu jwassal sal-qabar, mhux lil hemm… Read more »
