Prayer for Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things.
I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »
Readings of the day
First Reading: Gen 22, 1-19
Psalm: 116 (117), 1-2.3-4.5-6.8-9
Gospel: Mt 9, 1-8
In those days, Jesus got into a boat, crossed the sea and came to his own town. And just then some people were carrying a paralyzed man lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.”
Then some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming.” But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts? For which is easier, to say, “Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, “Stand up and walk’? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he then said to the paralytic—”Stand up, take your bed and go to your home.” And he stood up and went to his home.
When the crowds saw it, they were filled with awe, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to human beings.

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Fl-ewwel qari li nqara minn wieħed minnkom insibu dawn iż-żewġ ulied: Iżakk u Ismagħel it-tifel ta’ Ħagar li kienet seftura ta’ Sara u li l-Mulej ippermetta li Abraham ikollu iben minnha. Meta twieled Iżakk, Sara bdiet tħares bl-ikrah lejn Ħagar u t-tifel tagħha, u Abraham kellu jtellaq lill-omm u lit-tifel. Il-qari li smajna jikkonkludi li Alla ma abbandunax lit-tifel ta’ Ħagar, anzi jgħidilha: “Qum… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
“Issa naf tassew li l-Mulej bagħat l-anġlu tiegħu u ħelisni minn id Erodi u minn dak kollu li l-Lhud kienu qed jistennew li jsir” (Atti 12:11). Dan huwa kliem ta’ San Pietru meta jirrealizza li l-ħelsien tiegħu mill-ħabs ma kinitx ħolma imma realtà. “Issa naf tassew li l-Mulej bagħat l-anġlu tiegħu u ħelisni”. Fit-tieni qari smajna wkoll lill-Appostlu Missierna San Pawl jafda fil-qawwa tal-Mulej li jeħilsu: “Il-Mulej jeħlisni minn kull deni u jħarisni” (2 Tim 4:18)… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Hemm siltiet fl-Evanġelju fejn Ġesù qisu jkun f’burdata ħażina, xejn ma jogħġbu. Din tal-lum hi waħda minn dawn is-siltiet, fejn Ġesù, minħabba li kien imdawwar b’ħafna nies, lid-dixxipli jgħidilhom biex jaqsmu għax-xatt l-ieħor, imbagħad hemmhekk ikellmuh tnejn min-nies, l-ewwel wieħed mill-kittieba, u mbagħad wieħed mid-dixxipli tiegħu.
Lill-ewwel wieħed li jkellem lil Ġesù u jgħidlu “tmur fejn tmur, jien niġi warajk”, Ġesù, flok iħeġġu, kważi jaqtagħlu qalbu bil-mod kif ikellmu, qisu jitfilu l-ħeġġa tiegħu… Read more »
