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 »
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 »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Dawn il-ġranet qegħdin naqraw siltiet minn djalogu li sar billejl bejn Ġesù u Nikodemu. Nikodemu kien wieħed mill-għorrief tal-Liġi u nsibuh ukoll fil-Passjoni ta’ Ġesù, għax flimkien ma’ Ġużeppi ta’ Arimatija jmur għand Pilatu u jitolbu l-ġisem ta’ Ġesù. Nikodemu stess iġib fwejjaħ li jiswew ħafna flus. L-ammont li ġab Nikodemu għad-difna ta’ Ġesù kien l-ammont li jintuża għar-rejiet. Imma f’dan il-mument, fit-tielet kapitlu ta’ San Ġwann, l-Evanġelista jirrakontalna dan id-djalogu, li jikkonċentra fuq il-magħmudija… Read more »
The Archdiocese of Malta notes with regret the statement issued by GO earlier today, wherein reported donations collected through recent telethons were revised down by €1.4 million. The Administrative Secretary of the Archdiocese, Mr Michael Pace Ross, said that almost half this amount, equivalent to €654,000, will derail the original plans of Dar tal-Providenza and Caritas, impacting this year’s operations of these two charitable entities of the Church.
Mr Pace Ross expressed his disappointment during a meeting with GO’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr Nikhil Patil, and emphasised that this was not the level of service the Archdiocese expected from GO. While acknowledging the technical explanation given, Mr Pace Ross hoped that such an incident would not repeat itself, and that more rigorous testing is carried out on the donation systems.
The Archdiocese took note of the apology made by GO, and welcomed the company’s commitment for seeking ways to support both Dar tal-Providenza and Caritas… Read more »

First Reading: Acts 4, 32-37
Psalm: 92 (93), 1ab.1c-2.5
Gospel: Jn 3, 7b-15
Jesus said to Nicodemus: “’You must be born from above.’ The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus answered and said to him, “How can this happen?”
Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not understand this? … Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Bil-Malti għandna qawl li jgħid: “Min jitwieled tond ma jmutx kwadru”. Qisna rridu nfissru li l-bniedem ma jinbidilx, li l-forma li tieħu fit-twelid jew meta tkun għadek żgħir ħafna – il-forma fil-karattru – tibqa’ hemm ħajtek kollha. Huwa veru li l-bniedem jiġi ffurmat mill-bidu, anzi mill-ġuf jiġi ffurmat, u ċerti karatteristiċi ta’ meta nkunu għadna żgħar nibqgħu bihom tul is-snin. Imma l-kelma ta’ Ġesù llum tgħidilna li l-bniedem jista’ jinbidel, jista’ jiġġedded… Read more »
