Gospel: Mt 18, 1-5.10
At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” He called a child, whom he put among them, and said, “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Il-Kelma ta’ Alla li llum il-Knisja qed taqra fil-knejjes kollha madwar id-dinja, titkellem dwar il-ġustizzja u l-ġudizzju. Il-ġustizzja, jgħidilna l-ktieb tal-profeta Baruk, “hi min-naħa tal-Mulej Alla tagħna” (Bar 1:15). Quddiem din il-ġustizzja li għandha għajn divina — għax Alla la jqarraq u lanqas jitqarraq — il-ġustizzja tagħna tidher dgħajfa u fallibbli. “Iżda min-naħa tagħna,” jgħid il-profeta Baruk, “kif aħna llum, aħna għandna l-għajb ma’ wiċċna” (Bar 1:15)… Read more »

Gospel: Lk 10, 13-16
“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the deeds of power done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But at the judgement it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon than for you.
And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? … Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
L-oriġini tal-Awtorità tax-Xandir hu antik minn mill-kriterji tagħna. Fl-1935 kien hemm l-ewwel bidu ta’ awtorità li tipprova tikkontribwixxi għal ċerta armonija fis-servizz tax-xandir. Imma fl-1961 ingħata bidu għal din l-awtorità li għadha magħna sal-lum, li fl-Indipendenza, fl-1964, ħadet ir-rwol kostituzzjonali. Kienet għażla tal-Istat Malti li din l-awtorità tkun impoġġija proprju bħala parti mill-qafas tal-istituzzjonijiet essenzjali tal-pajjiż. Intom u tiċċelebraw sittin sena, nixtieq noffri ftit riflessjonijiet fis-sitwazzjonijiet li qed ngħixu llum… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Il-kelma ‘anġlu’ ġejja mill-kelma Griega ‘angelos’ li tfisser messaġġier. Fl-Iskrittura, l-anġli huma l-messaġġiera ta’ Alla, u t-tlieta li jissemmew b’isimhom – li aħna nsejħu arkanġli – huma proprju dawk li qed nagħmlu l-festa tagħhom illum: Mikiel, Gabrijel u Rafel. F’isimhom stess – fit-tifsira ta’ isimhom – hemm miġbura l-missjoni li Alla tahom.
Mikiel, ismu jfisser: min hu bħal Alla? … Read more »

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!
On our journey to better understand Saint Paul’s teaching, today we will encounter a difficult but important topic: justification. What is justification? We, who were sinners, have become just. Who justified us? This process of change is justification. We, before God, are just. It is true, we have our personal sins. But fundamentally, we are just… Read more »
