Prayer for Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things.
I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

In those days, Jesus told his disciples: “You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot. “You are the light of the world… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Għalkemm ġieli nħawduhom, hemm differenza bejn premju u rigal. Premju jagħtuhulek għal xi ħaġa li tkun ħdimt għaliha u li ksibt, pereżempju għax tmur tajjeb ħafna f’eżami. Premju jagħtuhulek għax ikun ħaqqek, għax tkun stinkajt, għax ikun mertu tiegħek.
Rigal mhux hekk. Rigal – fis-sens proprju tal-kelma, għax kultant qlibna s-sens proprju tal-kliem – jagħtihulek xi ħadd bil-qalb, bi mħabba… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Fejn insibu l-veru ferħ f’ħajjitna? Din hi mistoqsija li, anke jekk kultant ma ngħiduhiex bil-
kliem, ħafna drabi imma qiegħda f’moħħna u f’qalbna. Aħna nixtiequ li jkollna mhux il-
pjaċir li jgħaddi imma l-ferħ li jibqa’.
Ġesù llum fl-Evanġelju jwieġeb din il-mistoqsija, meta tela’ fuq il-muntanja u lid-dixxipli
qalilhom dawn li aħna nsejħu l-Beatitudnijiet, jiġifieri dak li tassew jista’ jġib il-ferħ fil-ħajja

First Reading: 2 Cor 1, 1-7
Psalm: 33 (34), 2-3.4-5.6-7.8-9
Gospel: Mt 5, 1-12
In those days, when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Matul is-sekli l-poplu Nisrani ngħata diversi sinjali tal-preżenza reali ta’ Ġesù taħt ix-xbihat tal-ħobż u tal-inbid. Il-festa tal-lum, festa antika ta’ madwar 800 sena, ġiet mifruxa mad-dinja Kattolika kollha mill-Papa Urbanu IV wara avveniment straordinarju li ġara waqt quddiesa ħdejn il-Lago di Bolsena. Saċerdot Brażiljan, waqt li kien qed iqaddes, kien itturmentat mid-dubju jekk dak li qal Ġesù kienx veru… Read more »
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Buongiorno!
Today, in Italy and in other countries, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ. The Gospel presents us the narrative of the Last Supper (Mk 14:12-16, 22-26). The words and gestures of the Lord touch our hearts: He takes the bread in his hands, pronounces the blessing, breaks it and offers it to the disciples, saying: “Take; this is my body” (v… 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 »

On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, his disciples said to him, “Where do you want us to go and make the preparations for you to eat the Passover?”
So he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him, and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, “The Teacher asks, Where is my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready… Read more »
