First Reading: Revelation 1:1-4; 2:1-5a
Psalm: 1:1-2,3,4 & 6
Gospel: Luke 18:35-43
As Jesus approached Jericho a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging, and hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what was happening. They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” He shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!” The people walking in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent, but he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have pity on me!”
Then Jesus stopped and ordered that he be brought to him; and when he came near, Jesus asked him, What do you want me to do for you? … Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Din is-silta mill-Evanġelju ta’ San Luqa hi waħda mill-aħħar mumenti ta’ Ġesù qabel jasal għall-Ġimgħa l-Kbira; hu wkoll diskors li jitkellem dwar it-tmiem imma jitkellem ukoll dwar il-kunflitti fl-umanità. Donnu Ġesù jgħaqqadhom it-tnejn li huma, donnu qed jgħid minħabba l-kefrija tal-bnedmin u d-dnub fil-qalb tal-bniedem, il-kunflitti jsiru parti integrali mill-istorja tagħna. Ix-xhieda tagħna l-Insara, li mhux dejjem kienet ta’ min ifaħħarha, għandha bżonn tkun ta’ dawk li jġibu l-paċi… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Kienu jieklu, jixorbu, jiżżewġu, iżewġu” (Lq 17:27). Dan hu l-kliem li bih Ġesù jiddeskrivi l-ħajja tan-nies fi żmien Noè meta Noe daħal fl-arka biex jeħles mid-dilluvju li ġab qerda sħiħa. U bi kliem jixbhu, Ġesù jfisser ukoll dak li ġara fi żmien Lot, meta Lot ħareġ minn Sodoma. Jgħid Ġesù: “kien jieklu, jixorbu, jixtru, ibigħu iħawlu, jibnu” (Lq 17:28).
Hawn Ġesù qed isemmi affarijiet tal-ħajja ordinarja… Read more »

First Reading: 3 John 1:5-8
Psalm: 111 (112):1-2.3-4.5-6
Gospel: Luke 18:1-8
In those days, Jesus told his disciples a parable about the necessity for them to pray always without becoming weary. He said, “There was a judge in a certain town who neither feared God nor respected any human being. And a widow in that town used to come to him and say, ‘Render a just decision for me against my adversary.’ For a long time the judge was unwilling, but eventually he thought, ‘While it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being, because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.’”
The Lord said, “Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says… Read more »
