L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
“Din hi l-kelma tal-Mulej Alla ta’ Iżrael: il-ġarra tad-dqiq ma tintemm qatt u l-kus taż-żejt ma jitbattalx sa dakinhar li l-Mulej jibgħat ix-xita fil-pajjiż” (1 Slat 17:14). Dan il-kliem il-Mulej jgħidhom f’sitwazzjoni ta’ emerġenza, f’sitwazzjoni ta’ karistija, f’sitwazzjoni ta’ nuqqas ta’ xita. In-nuqqas tax-xita kien ifisser nuqqas ta’ ikel, nuqqas ta’ frott fir-raba’.
Elija jmur f’belt, f’ambjent ostili għall-bniedem għax m’għadux jagħti frott u jasal quddiem waħda armla tiġbor il-ħatab, il-ħuxlief niexef li baqa’ mill-ambjent li m’għadux jagħti frott għax m’hemmx xita, allura m’hemmx ilma… Read more »
Our Lady of Medjugore pilgrim
In these last years in particular, many have been asking for information on the alleged phenomena at Medjugorje, and what is the Church’s position upon them. These phenomena, about which much has been said and written in the last forty years, commenced in 1981 in the village of Medjugorje in the diocese of Mostar in Bosnia-Herzegovina. When the alleged phenomena were first reported, Yugoslavia was still in existence… Read more »

Readings of the day
First Reading: Ezekiel 47,1-2.8-9.12.
Psalm: 46(45),2-3.5-6.8-9.
Gospel: Jn 2,13-22.
Since the Passover of the Jews was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. He found in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, as well as the money-changers seated there.
He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and spilled the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables, and to those who sold doves he said, “Take these out of here, and stop making my Father’s house a marketplace.”
His disciples recalled the words of scripture, “Zeal for your house will consume me.” At this the Jews answered and said to him, “What sign can you show us for doing this?” Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews said, “This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?”
But he was speaking about the temple of his body… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Fl-Evanġelju tal-lum, Ġesù jsemmi tliet punti importanti għal ħajjitna. L-ewwel, jitkellem fuq l-iskandlu, kemm hu ikrah l-iskandlu, u kemm jagħmel ħażin min jagħti skandlu. Jagħmel dan bi kliem iebes ħafna. Nafu li fl-Evanġelju, l-iktar kliem iebes ta’ Ġesù hu għall-ipokresija u għall-iskandlu. Hawn juża kliem qawwi, speċjalment meta jgħid: “ikun aktar jaqbillu jekk jorbtulu ma’ għonqu ġebla tat-tħin u jitfgħuh il-baħar, milli jagħti skandlu lil wieħed minn dawn iċ-ċkejknin”… Read more »

Dear Brothers and Sisters, buongiorno!

In those days, Jesus said to his disciples, “Occasions for stumbling are bound to come, but woe to anyone by whom they come! It would be better for you if a millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea than for you to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
Be on your guard! … Read more »
