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,

Readings of the day
First Reading: Ezekiel 28:1-10
Psalm: Deuteronomy 32:26-27ab,27cd-28,30,35cd-36ab
Gospel: Matthew 19:23-30
Jesus said to his disciples: “Amen, I say to you, it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and said, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “For human beings this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.” Then Peter said to him in reply, “We have given up everything and followed you… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
L-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna jibda bi vjaġġ ta’ Marija. L-Anġlu Gabrijel għadu kemm ħabbrilha li kellha ssir Omm Alla, u hi, tfajla rżina u żagħżugħa, marbuta mal-imħabba kbira għall-poplu Lhudi, tgħid lill-qaddej ta’ Alla l-Anġlu Gabrijel: “Ara, jiena l-qaddejja tal-Mulej: ħa jsir minni skont kelmtek!”
Il-vjaġġ lejn Għajn Karem
Mimlija bil-ferħ li ġej mill-ispirtu qaddis ta’ Alla, mimlija bl-imħabba magħmul bniedem fil-ġuf tagħha, imtaqqla bl-għajdut tan-nies bis-suspett ta’ Ġużeppi, li mnebbaħ mill-qaddej anġlu ta’ Alla jilqagħha, mimlija b’dawn l-esperjenzi kollha, Sidtna Marija tilqa’ s-sinjal li ngħatalha, jiġifieri li għal Alla m’hemm xejn li ma jistax ikun, u “tħaffef lejn il-għoljiet, f’belt tal-Lhudija” (Lq 1:39) biex tiltaqa’ ma’ Eliżabetta, il-qariba tagħha li kienet diġà fis-sitt xahar tat-tqala tagħha… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Waħda mill-espressjonijiet komuni fuq il-media soċjali meta jmut xi ħadd hi ‘Fly high!’. Taraha kemm-il darba, speċjalment meta xi ħadd ikun ħabib jew ħabiba ta’ min miet u jikteb din l-espressjoni. Mhuwiex dejjem ċar min jiktibha xi jkun qed jifhem biha, jidher li hi espressjoni li turi xi ħaġa lil hemm minn din il-ħajja; imma naħseb li l-festa li qed niċċelebraw illum tagħti l-isbaħ u l-aħjar tifsira għal din l-espressjoni ‘fly high’… Read more »
Dear brothers and sisters, buongiorno!
In the Gospel of today’s liturgy there is an expression of Jesus which always strikes us and challenges us. While he is walking with his disciples, he says: “I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!” (Lk 12:49). What fire is he talking about? … Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Imbierek il-frott tal-ġuf tiegħek!” (Lq 1:42) Dan hu l-kliem li smajna fl-Evanġelju llum, il-kliem li Eliżabetta qalet lil Marija. Hu l-kliem li nixtieq ngħid b’mod speċjali lill-ommijiet li qegħdin hawn, flimkien mal-missirijiet, għal din il-quddiesa – dawk li kellhom tarbija din is-sena li għaddiet, kif ukoll dawk li qed jistennew it-twelid tat-tarbija.
Post it-tfal iż-żgħar fil-knisja
Kemm hu sabiħ li bi tħejjija għall-festa ta’ Santa Marija f’din il-parroċċa għażiża ta’ Ħad-Dingli qegħdin miġburin flimkien għal din il-quddiesa llum biex niċċelebraw id-don tal-ħajja… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Nistgħu ngħidu li Ġesù, biex jispjega min hu u l-preżenza tiegħu fostna u anke fil-familja li waqqaf, juża l-elementi tan-natura: l-ilma, “min jemmen fija għajn ta’ ilma ġieri toħroġ mill-qalb tiegħu”, in-nifs u l-arja bħala sinjal tal-ispirtu. Jagħtina ħafna tixbihat tas-saltna biż-żrieragħ, bis-siġar u bix-xtieli. Huwa juża l-element tal-art.
Illum ikellmna fuq in-nar, element ieħor importanti u li kull kultura kienet tirrealizza l-qawwa tiegħu… Read more »
