In the Gospel for today’s Liturgy, Jesus continues preaching to the people who had seen the prodigy of the multiplication of the loaves. And he invites those people to make a qualitative leap: after having recalled the manna with which God had fed the forefathers in the long journey through the desert, he now applies the symbol of the bread to himself… Read more »

Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. When the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them; but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. As the bridegroom was delayed, all of them became drowsy and slept.
But at midnight there was a shout, “Look! … Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Ġesù qiegħed fis-sinagoga ta’ Kafarnahum, il-belt fejn ġie adottat għal tliet snin, il-belt fejn għal tliet snin għallem u fejjaq wara li telaq minn Nazaret. Silta minn dan id-diskors smajnieha fl-Evanġelju tal-lum mill-kapitlu 6 ta’ San Ġwann fejn jitkellem propju dwar id-djalogu ta’ Ġesù bejn il-Lhud ta’ żmienu li tfixklu meta semgħuh jgħid: “Jiena hu l-ħobż li nizel mis-sema” (Ġw 6:41)… Read more »

Messaġġ mill-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Xandar tal-Mulej, kun għalina l-mexxej”. Nixtieq l-ewwel nett insellem lil San Duminku, f’għeluq it-tmien mitt sena llum mill-mewt tiegħu, u miegħu lid-Dumnikani kollha, u nuri l-gratitudni tal-Knisja f’Malta għall-ħidma pastorali tad-Dumnikani f’Malta għal tant snin – minn madwar is-sena 1450, l-ewwel fir-Rabat. Min jaf kemm ġid sar permezz tal-ħidma ta’ tant Dumnikani f’Malta! Għalhekk, f’okkażjoni bħal din, meta nitkellmu fuq ir-rwol tad-Dumnikani, l-ewwel sentiment hu dak ta’ gratitudni lil Alla għal dawn is-snin u l-ħidma li saret b’tant ġenerożità u dedikazzjoni f’dawn is-snin… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
L-Evanġelju ta’ San Mark ipoġġi r-rakkont tat-Trasfigurazzjoni, li qegħdin niċċelebraw illum, propju f’nofs l-Evanġelju. Huwa l-iqsar Evanġelju li nkiteb b’16-il kapitlu. F’kapitlu 8 San Mark ipoġġi din l-esperjenza straordinarja ta’ Ġesù li jixduha biss tlieta mid-dixxipli tiegħu, it-tliet magħżulin.
L-Evanġelju ta’ San Mark jibda bil-magħmudija ta’ Ġesù u fih ma nsibux ir-rakkont tat-twelid u tat-tfulija ta’ Ġesù. Jibda mill-ewwel bid-deċiżjoni ta’ Ġesù, il-mastrudaxxa ta’ Nazaret, li jissieħeb mal-ġgajta jitlob il-magħmudija ta’ ndiema li kien qed joffri Ġwanni l-Għammied, Ġwanni l-Battista… Read more »
