The Gospel of the day: 22nd April

Readings of the day

First Reading: Acts 8, 26-40
Psalm: 65 (66), 8-9. 16-17. 20

Gospel: Jn 6, 44-51

In those days, Jesus said to the crowd: “No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me; and I will raise that person up on the last day. It is written in the prophets, “And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father. 

Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Dan il-kapitlu sabiħ, il-kapitlu 6 ta’ San Ġwann f’diskors li Ġesù jagħmel fis-sinagoga ta’ Kafarnahum, il-belt adottiva tiegħu fuq ix-xatt ta’ l-għadira tal-Galilija, il-baħar tal-Galilija u ta’ Tiberijade, il-Mulej juża x-xbieha tal-ħobż biex jitkellem fuqu nifsu. Lejn l-aħħar ta’ dan id-diskors sabiħ, Ġesù jitkellem ukoll fuqu nnifsu bħala l-Ewkaristija.

F’dan il-mument Ġesù jitkellem dwar il-persuna tiegħu, it-tagħlim tiegħu bħala l-ħobż tal-ħajja… Read more »

Gospel: Jn 6, 30-35

The crowd said to Jesus, “What sign are you going to give us then, so that we may see it and believe you? What work are you performing? Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, “He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ” 

Then Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 

They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.” Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life… Read more »

Not what they want to hear but what they need to hear – Bishop Galea-Curmi

  The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

Żgur li ħadd minna mhu se jlum lil dawk in-nies li marru jfittxu lil Ġesù. Kellhom l-esperjenza tat-tkattir tal-ħobż u l-ħut, u għalihom Ġesù kien dak li jista’ jipprovdilhom dak li għandhom bżonn. Għalhekk marru jfittxuh u, meta ma sabuhx, qasmu bid-dgħajjes għan-naħa l-oħra. U meta fl-aħħar sabuh, qalulu, qishom biex jilmentaw: “Rabbi, meta ġejt hawn?” Speċi: ħrabtilna min-naħa l-oħra!

U Ġesù, li dejjem jitkellem ċar u bla kantunieri, jgħidilhom: “Intom qegħdin tfittxuni mhux għax rajtu s-sinjali, imma għax kiltu mill-ħobż u xbajtu.” Jgħidilhom Ġesù: intom mhux għax rajtu s-sinjali u emmintu, m’għandkomx din il-fidi fija; imma qed tfittxuni għal dak li pprovdejtilkom… Read more »

Pope at Regina Coeli: Christianity is relationship, care and joy

Dear Brothers and Sisters, Buongiorno!

On this Third Sunday of Easter, we return to Jerusalem, in the Cenacle, as guided by the two disciples of Emmaus, who had listened with great emotion to Jesus’ words along the way and then had recognized him “in the breaking of the bread” (Lk 24:35). Now, in the Cenacle, the Risen Christ presents himself in the midst of the group of disciples and greets: “Peace to you!” (v… Read more »
