In those days, Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him about whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth.” Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” When Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, he said of him, “Here is truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit!” Nathanael asked him, “Where did you get to know me?”
Jesus answered, “I saw you under the fig tree before Philip called you.” Nathanael replied, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! … Read more »
Dear brothers and sisters, buongiorno!
The Gospel of today’s liturgy (Jn 6:60-69) shows us the reaction of the crowd and the disciples to Jesus’ discourse following the multiplication of the loaves. Jesus invited them to interpret that sign and believe in Him, who is the true bread come down from heaven, the bread of life; and He revealed that the bread He will give is His body and blood… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Dan l-aħħar rajt xi ftit kummenti li kultant issib online fuq il-mezzi soċjali dwar il-Knisja, speċjalment meta jqumu ċerti kwistjonijiet partikulari diskussi fis-soċjetà. Kien hemm, pereżempju: “il-Knisja antikwata”, “il-Knisja m’għandhiex iddaħħal rasha fir-ramel”, “il-Knisja trid taċċetta r-realtà”, “il-Knisja trid taċċetta li ż-żminijiet illum inbidlu, u għalhekk timxi maż-żminijiet” – u kummenti simili.
Hu veru, kif turina l-Istorja, li hemm bżonn dejjem aġġornament fil-ħajja tal-Knisja, speċjalment fil-ħidma pastorali tagħha; u dan sar, u qed isir, u hemm bżonn dejjem li jsir aktar… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
F’dan il-Ħadd, għalkemm qegħdin fis-sena ddedikata lill-Evanġelju ta’ San Mark, nikkonkludu l-qari minn kapitlu 6 tal-Evanġelju ta’ San Ġwann. Imma peress li l-Evanġelju ta’ San Mark huwa qasir, f’diversi Ħdud ikollna siltiet oħra mill-Evanġelju ta’ San Ġwann.
Fil-Ħdud li għaddew, apparti l-Ħadd li għadda li ddedikajnieh lill-Assunta, smajna kif il-poplu kien immeraviljat bil-qawwa ta’ Ġesù li jkattar il-ħobż, u riedu jagħmluh sultan u fir-raħal adottiv tiegħu, Kafarnahum, jidħol fis-sinagoga u jitkellem dwar il-ħobż li niżel mis-sema li hu huwa stess, it-tagħlim tiegħu u lejn l-aħħar tal-kapitlu… Read more »

In those days, Jesus spoke about the bread of life.

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 »
