My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things.

Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
“L-ispirtu tal-Mulej fuqi, għax hu kkonsagrani. Bagħatni nħabbar il-ħelsien… inxandar is-sena tal-grazzja tal-Mulej.”
Għeżież ħuti saċerdoti, għeżież membri lajċi tal-poplu ta’ Alla. Aħna llum nifirħu b’din il-liturġija solenni tat-tberik taż-żjut. B’dan id-don kbir li l-Mulej tana li nissieħbu fih. Il-qawwa tal-ispirtu s-santu li ssawbet fuqu biex ikun għajn ta’ ħelsien u ta’ grazzja.

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!
This past Sunday, the Liturgy had us listen to the Passion of the Lord. It ended with these words: “They sealed the stone” (cf. Mt 27:66). Everything seemed over. For the disciples, that boulder signified the final end of their hope. The Teacher was crucified, killed in the cruelest and most humiliating manner, hung upon the infamous gallows outside the city – a public failure, the worst possible ending, it was the worst at that time… Read more »

“Il-foqra dejjem issibuhom magħkom” (Ġw12:8). Dan hu l-kliem li Ġesù jgħid lil Ġuda l-Iskarjota fl-Evanġelju llum, meta dan għamel ilment għaliex Marija użat fwieħa tan-nard pur tiswa ħafna. U Ġuda qal li jkun aħjar li kieku din il-fwieħa, flok tużaha hemm, tinbiegħ tliet mitt dinar, u jkunu jistgħu jgħinu lill-foqra.
Meta naqraw dan, żgur li f’moħħna jiġi l-ħsieb: minn kulħadd, Ġuda jitkellem? … Read more »
