In those days, when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus. When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
Jesus answered them, “Very truly, I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you… Read more »

The Gospel of the day: 31st July
31/07/2021Readings of the day
First Reading: Lev 25, 1. 8-17
Psalm: 66 (67), 2-3.5.7-8
Gospel: Mt 14, 1-12
At that time Herod the ruler heard reports about Jesus; and he said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he has been raised from the dead, and for this reason these powers are at work in him.”
For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.” Though Herod wanted to put him to death, he feared the crowd, because they regarded him as a prophet.
But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company, and she pleased Herod so much that he promised on oath to grant her whatever she might ask. Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter.”
The king was grieved, yet out of regard for his oaths and for the guests, he commanded it to be given; he sent and had John beheaded in the prison. The head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, who brought it to her mother. His disciples came and took the body and buried it; then they went and told Jesus.

30/07/2021 The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, FlorianaL-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Tfixklu minħabba fih”. Dan hu li naqraw fl-Evanġelju skont San Mattew. In-nies tal-pajjiż ta’ Ġesù, meta semgħuh jgħallem fis-sinagogi, baqgħu mistagħġba, u “tfixklu minħabba fih”.
Għalfejn tfixklu dawn in-nies meta semgħu lil Ġesù? Tfixklu għax semgħuh jgħid il-ħmerijiet? Jew għax semgħuh jgħid kliem li jinsulta jew kliem mhux f’postu? Tfixklu għax semgħuh jgħid kliem li jurta jew jipprova jimpressjona? … Read more »
