Psalm: 80 (81), 6c-8a.8bc-9.10-11ab.14 & 17
Gospel: Mk 12, 28b-34
In those days, one of the scribes came to Jesus and asked him, “Which is the first of all the commandments?” Jesus replied, “The first is this: ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
The scribe said to him, “Well said, teacher… Read more »

First Reading: Jer 7, 23-28
Psalm: 94 (95), 1-2.6-7.8-9
Gospel: Lk 11, 14-23
Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute, and when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke and the crowds were amazed. Some of them said, “By the power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons, he drives out demons.” Others, to test him, asked him for a sign from heaven… Read more »
Il‑Knisja qed twaqqaf il‑funzjonijiet reliġjużi kollha b’effett immedjat, għajr għall‑quddiesa tal‑funeral u ċ‑ċelebrazzjoni tar‑rit taż‑żwieġ. Dawn il‑miżuri, li qed jitħabbru bi qbil mal‑Awtoritajiet tas‑Saħħa, se jibqgħu fis‑seħħ sal‑11 ta’ April 2021.
Il‑knejjes prinċipali se jibqgħu miftuħa għat‑talb privat. Biex wieħed jidħol fil‑knisja għandu jibqa’ jimxi mal‑miżuri kollha preżenti għall‑ħarsien tas‑saħħa.
F’dan iż‑żmien diffiċli, l‑Isqfijiet ta’ Malta u Għawdex iħeġġu lil kulħadd biex inkomplu nosservaw id‑direttivi filwaqt li jappellaw għat‑talb għas‑saħħa tal‑poplu tagħna… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Ġesù jsemmi waħda mill-karatteristiċi prinċipali tagħna bħala Nsara – il-maħfra – u jgħid li għandna naħfru dejjem, u li għandna niftakru li kif Alla jaħfer lilna, hekk għandna naħfru aħna lill-oħrajn.
Hu diffiċli li taħfer. Pietru, fl-Evanġelju tal-lum, ħaseb li se jkun ġeneruż meta lil Ġesù qallu: Mulej, xi kemm-il darba rrid naħfer? Sa seba’ darbiet? Ħaseb li qed jgħidlu ħafna… Read more »
