Psalm: 125:1-6
Gospel: Matthew 20:20-28
The mother of the sons of Zebedee approached Jesus with her sons and did him homage, wishing to ask him for something.

Ix-xewqa li wrew id-dixxipli ta’ Ġesù meta qalulu “Mulej, għallimna nitolbu” (Lq 11:1) hi x-xewqa li għandu jkollna aħna lkoll bħala dixxipli ta’ Ġesù. Dan għax kontinwament f’ħajjitna hemm bżonn li nitgħallmu nitolbu.
Talb biex nipperswaduh
Kultant, fil-fatt, meta nitolbu, ikollna f’moħħna u f’qalbna xi ħaġa ftit differenti minn dak li Ġesù għallem lid-dixxipli tiegħu. Kultant it-talb tagħna jkun li aħna nafu diġà x’inhu l-aħjar, u mmorru quddiem il-Mulej biex nipperswaduh jaqbel magħna, biex hu jagħtina dak li nafu li għandna bżonn… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Ftit punti ħfief ispirati minn dan l-Evanġelju li hu profond ħafna, għandu ħafna tagħlim u naħseb importanti ħafna wkoll għalina u għall-ħajja tagħna spiritwali, il-ħajja Nisranija tagħna.
L-ewwel nett Ġesù jibda mill-eżempju. Se jgħallimna fuq it-talb imma l-Evanġelju ta’ San Luqa ħafna drabi u anke fil-bidu ta’ din is-silta jgħidilna li Ġesù kien isib il-ħin biex jitlob. “Darba Ġesù kien qiegħed xi mkien jitlob”… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Ġesù kellu tipi differenti ta’ dixxipli. Kien hemm dixxipli li jimxu miegħu fit-triq, li jkunu fejnu meta jgħallem, ifejjaq u jagħmel il-mirakli. U kien hemm dixxipli oħra li laqgħuh f’darhom, bħal dik il-familja ta’ Betanja – Marija, Marta u Lazzru – li laqgħu lil Ġesù f’darhom.
Fost id-dixxipli li kienu jakkumpanjaw lil Ġesù, tista’ tgħid it-tnax kienu dawk l-aktar qrib… Read more »
The six days Pope Francis will spend in Canada will be intense. An entire country is awaiting him, a part of which has been wounded by the horrors of the past, in which indigenous peoples suffered violence and deprivation at the hands of a colonialist mentality which employed policies and practices of cultural assimilation with the goal of annihilating indigenous identities.
Pope Francis himself has called his Apostolic Visit to Canada a “penitential pilgrimage” which seeks to “contribute to the journey of reconciliation and healing already underway.”
The Pope will once again embrace the pain and suffering of indigenous communities, following his recent meetings with them in the Vatican… Read more »
