“He took the loaves of bread, gave thanks, then gave them to the people”

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Żgur li tolqotna f’din il-ġrajja, li hi rrakkuntata mill-evanġelisti kollha – l-uniku miraklu li ssibu rrakkuntat mill-evanġelisti kollha – id-deskrizzjoni ta’ kif Ġesù jagħmel il-miraklu, speċjalment il-kelmiet: “ħa l-ħobżiet, radd il-ħajr, u qassamhom lil dawk li kienu bilqiegħda”. Hemm xebh kbir bejn dawn il-kelmiet u dak li naqraw fl-Aħħar Ċena meta Ġesù waqqaf l-Ewkaristija. Hu l-istess kliem li ngħidu ftit ieħor fil-konsagrazzjoni fil-quddiesa: “ħa l-ħobż, radd il-ħajr, qasam, ta lid-dixxipli tiegħu…”

Hemm rabta bejn dan il-miraklu tat-tkattir tal-ħobż u l-Ewkaristija… Read more »

Pope at Audience: Church is the house and school of prayer

14/04/2021

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!

The Church is a great school of prayer. Many of us learned how to whisper our first prayers on our parents’ or grandparents’ laps. We might, perhaps, cherish the memory of our mommy and daddy who taught us to say our prayers before going to bed. These moments of recollection are often those in which parents listen to some intimate secret and can give their advice inspired by the Gospel… Read more »
