Nhar l-Erbgha 4 ta’ Mejju 2022, intemm il-Kapitlu Provinċjali tas-Salesjani ta’ Dun Bosco f’Malta, li sar fid-dar tat-talb tal-Lunzjata, ir-Rabat.

Catechesis on Old Age

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!

On the path of these catecheses on old age, today we meet a biblical figure – and old man – named Eleazar, who lived at the time of the persecution of Antiochus Epiphanes. He is a wonderful character. His character gives us a testimony of the special relationship that exists between the fidelity of old age and the honour of faith… Read more »

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 »

The Gospel of the day: 5th May

05/05/2022

Readings of the day

First Reading: Acts 8:26-40
Psalm: 65 (66):8-9,16-17,20

Gospel: John 6:44-51

In those days, Jesus said to the crowd: “No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me; and I will raise that person up on the last day. It is written in the prophets, “And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father. 

Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven… Read more »

Becoming great leaders like St Publius – The Archbishop

Mass on the feast of St Publius

01/05/2022   St Publius Parish Church, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Kemm hi ħaġa sabiħa għal kull wieħed u waħda minna li wara żmien iebes ta’ pandemija qed nerġgħu niltaqgħu biex nagħmlu dan il-pontifikal solenni. Nirringrazzjaw lill-Mulej ta’ dan id-don don li tana b’ San Publiju, l-protos tagħna. Huwa żmien li nerġgħu lura lejn il-mejda li minnha l-Mulej jagħtina l-ġisem u d-demm għażiż tiegħu. L-appell li nagħmel lill-Furjaniżi, bl-interċessjoni ta’ San Publiju, huwa li bi ħġarna nerġgħu lejn dan it-tempju, biex nirringrazzjaw lil Alla ta’ kulma jagħmel magħna u tal-ħniena li juri magħna… Read more »

Pope Francis: ‘I am ready to meet Putin in Moscow’

04/05/2022

“I have a torn ligament; I will have an operation with infiltrations and we will see… I’ve been like this for a long time; I can’t walk. There was a time when popes used to go with the gestatorial chair. It requires a little humiliation.”

This is how Pope Francis justified the fact that he could not get up to greet Luciano Fontana and the deputy director Fiorenza Sarzanini of the Corriere della Sera, whom he received at the Casa Santa Marta for an interview that the newspaper published on Tuesday… Read more »

Talba għat-Tqarbina tax-Xewqa

Ġesù, jiena nemmen li Inti tinsab tabilħaqq fis-Sagrament tal-Ewkaristija. 
Irrid inħobbok fuq kollox u fuq kulħadd.
Inti taf li nixtieq nirċevik ġewwa fija.
Imma ġaladarba bħalissa ma nistax nilqgħek ġewwa fija sagramentalment,
nitolbok li tiġi fija spiritwalment.
Ejja għandi Ġesù tiegħi, biex jiena niġi għandek… Read more »

The food that endures for eternal life – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

02/05/2022

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Kiltu mill-ħobż u xbajtu”. Dan hu li Ġesù jgħid lin-nies li tħabtu ħafna biex isibuh. Fil-fatt, din is-silta tiġi ftit wara s-silta meta Ġesù jagħmel il-miraklu u jitma’ ’l fuq minn ħamest elef ruħ b’ħames ħobżiet u żewġ ħutiet, u jibqa’ żżejjed ukoll.

Dawn in-nies qasmu għan-naħa l-oħra, u marru Kafarnahum biex isibuh. U meta sabuh lil Ġesù, flok Ġesù wera kemm kien kuntent bil-popolarità – dawn ħadu biċċa triq bħal dik biex jaslu ħdejh – flok feraħ li n-nies qegħdin miegħu, jgħidilhom: “Intom qed tfittxuni mhux għax rajtu sinjali imma għax kiltu mill-ħobż u xbajtu”… Read more »
