The Gospel of the day: 21st June

Readings of the day

First Reading: Gen 12, 1-9
Psalm: 32 (33), 12-13.18-19.20 & 22

Gospel: Mt 7, 1-5

In those days, Jesus told his disciples, “Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. For with the judgement you make you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. 

Why do you see the speck in your neighbour’s eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye? Or how can you say to your neighbour, “Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbour’s eye… Read more »

With us in the storm of life – Bishop Galea-Curmi

20/06/2021   The Parish Church of the Annunciation, Ħal Balzan

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Żgur li ħadd minna mhu se jlum lil dawk id-dixxipli li kienu ma’ Ġesù fid-dgħajsa qed jaqsmu l-baħar tal-Galilija, li twerwru meta qabdithom il-maltempata. L-Evanġelju jgħid li f’daqqa waħda, qam riefnu kbir, il-mewġ beda tiela’ għal ġod-dgħajsa, u din bdiet timtela bl-ilma. Sitwazzjoni tal-biża’! U qalb dan kollu, hemm Ġesù li qiegħed magħhom, imma rieqed fil-poppa tad-dgħajsa. Bilfors kienet raqda fil-fond, biex f’dil-maltempata kollha baqa’ rieqed… Read more »

How should the love of every father be? – The Archbishop

Mass on Father's Day

20/06/2021   The Church of Saint Ubdaldesca, Paola

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ix-xena tal-Evanġelju tal-lum hija propju fl-għadira enormi ta’ Ġenesaret jew inkella magħrufa wkoll bħala l-Baħar tal-Galilija. Huwa baħar ta’ ilma ħelu, mhux bħall-Mediterran li huwa baħar mielaħ. Huwa wkoll għadira ħafna ’l isfel mil-livell tal-Baħar Mediterran u mdawwar bl-għoljiet u bil-muntanji. Allura tinżel arja kiesħa malli tmiss il-baħar jew inkella meta l-ilma li jkun relattivament sħun jinqalgħu ħafna tempesti fuq din li aħna nafuha bħala l-Għadira tal-Galilija, il-Baħar tal-Galilija… Read more »

Endless treasure – Bishop Galea-Curmi

18/06/2021   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Kultant ma jkunx faċli li nifhmu mill-ewwel il-kliem ta’ Ġesù, imma dak li jgħid illum fl-Evanġelju żgur li nifhmuh mill-ewwel, anke għax tant narawh fl-esperjenza tal-ħajja. Ġesù jgħid: “tgeddsux għalikom teżori f’din id-dinja”, u jgħid għaliex: għax it-teżori ta’ din id-dinja jispiċċaw, jew għax jitmermru bil-kamla u bis-sadid, jew għax il-ħallelin jinfdu u jisirqu. Dawn huma kollha provviżorji, it-teżori ta’ din id-dinja… Read more »

Psalm: 33 (34), 8-9.10-11.12-13

Gospel: Mt 6, 24-34

In those days, Jesus told his disciples: “No one can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth. 

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear… Read more »
