Readings of the day
First Reading: Acts 28,1-10
Psalm: 15, 1-2.5. 7-8. 11
Gospel: Mt 25, 31-40
In those days, Jesus told his diciples: “When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left.
Then the King will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’
Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink? And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee? And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.’

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Fit-tielet kapitlu ta’ San Mark għandna din ix-xena straordinarja ta’ folol kbar li jippruvaw jersqu lejn Ġesù. L-evanġelista San Mark jgħid li kienu jeħdulu l-morda u “dawk kollha li kellhom xi mard kienu jrossu fuqu biex imissuh” (Mk 3:10).
In-nies kienu insistenti li jmissu lil Ġesù. San Mark ma jagħtiniex teoloġija kbira tal-Iben ta’ Alla li sar bniedem imma kemm-il darba jagħtina xeni fejn in-nies jew iridu jmissu lil Ġesù jew Ġesù stess imidd idu biex imiss u jfejjaq lil xi ħadd… Read more »
The Secretariat for Catholic Education and the Association of Church Schools (CSA) condemn the irresponsible behaviour of the Union of Professional Educators (UPE) in publishing information on its Facebook page about COVID-19 cases in Church schools, which is causing unnecessary alarm and anxiety among students, parents, and educators.
Church schools are doing their utmost to inform parents and school staff as soon as a positive case is identified in one of the schools… Read more »

Gospel: Mk 3, 1-6
Jesus entered the synagogue. There was a man there who had a withered hand. They watched him closely to see if he would cure him on the sabbath so that they might accuse him.
