Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!
Today we will complete the catechesis on prayer as a relationship with the Holy Trinity, in particular with the Holy Spirit.

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Hemm konnessjoni bejn l-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna li l-ambjent tiegħu huwa ħdejn menqa, jiġifieri ħdejn qisha pixxina li kienet tipprovdi l-ilma lit-tempju.
Kien hemm it-tradizzjoni li meta jitħarrek l-ilma — u ġo pixxina mhux la kemm tgħid jitħarrek — anġlu jkun mess l-ilma allura min jinżel fih f’dak il-mument ifiq mill-mard li kellu. Kien hemm raġel li għal 38 sena sħaħ qagħad joqgħod jistenna biex jieħu din l-opportunità… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Hemm seba’ darbiet, tista’ tgħid, fl-Evanġelju ta’ San Ġwann, meta Ġesù jagħmel dak li normalment insejħulu ‘miraklu’. Imma f’San Ġwann jissejjaħ “sinjal”. Hawn, fis-silta li għadna kemm smajna, hu t-tieni sinjal li għamel Ġesù wara dak li kien għamel f’Kana tal-Galilija, meta biddel l-ilma fi nbid.
X’inhuma dawn is-sinjali? Għaliex jissejħu ‘sinjali’? X’juruna? Huma sinjali li juruna li Ġesù hu l-Messija, l-Iben ta’ Alla… Read more »

Today’s Gospel tells us: God “so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (Jn 3:16)… Read more »
