L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Hemm karatteristika speċjali li ssibha dejjem fil-kliem ta’ Ġesù mad-dixxipli tiegħu: il-kliem tiegħu hu kliem ta’ inkoraġġiment, kliem li jagħmlilhom il-qalb, u jgħinhom ħalli qatt ma jaqtgħu qalbhom fost it-taħwid u l-biżgħat li ġieli jkollhom. Fl-Evanġelju tal-lum, Ġesù hekk jibda l-kliem tiegħu lid-dixxipli: “Tħallux qalbkom titħawwad!” (Ġw 14:1)
Nixtieqkom tinnutaw li Ġesù jitkellem fuq il-qalb – jgħid “qalbkom”. Mhux qed jgħid biss fuq ħsibijiet li joħolqu konfużjoni fil-moħħ, imma iktar minn hekk, għax il-qalb tfisser il-ħajja tal-bniedem fil-profondità tagħha… Read more »

come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

Psalm: 119:33-42
Second Reading: 2 Timothy 2:1-11
Gospel: Mark 16:14a,15-20
Later Jesus appeared to the eleven themselves as they were sitting at the table; and he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation. The one who believes and is baptised will be saved; but the one who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: by using my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes in their hands, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and proclaimed the good news everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that accompanied it… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Tajjeb li niftakru li dan il-kliem Ġesù qalu fil-mument għażiż; aħna nafuh bħala l-mument tal-aħħar ċena propju f’Ħamis ix-Xirka. Qiegħed mad-dixxipli tiegħu. Qegħdin jieklu l-aħħar ikla qabel jingħata f’idejn l-għedewwa tiegħu biex jagħmlu bih li jridu.
Imma d-djalogu mqanqal, sabiħ tal-Mulej Ġesù ma’ sħabu hu wkoll okkażjoni fejn nifhmu eżattament xi jrid jgħidilna Ġesù fuq l-affarijiet l-iżjed għeżież… Read more »

Palm: 113B (115):1-2,3-4,15-16
Gospel: John 14:21-26
Jesus said to his disciples: “Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him.”
Judas, not the Iscariot, said to him, “Master, (then) what happened that you will reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”
Jesus answered and said to him, “Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him… Read more »
Dear brothers and sisters, buongiorno!
The Gospel of today’s Liturgy (Jn 14:1-12) is taken from Jesus’ last discourse before his death. The disciples’ hearts are troubled, but the Lord speaks reassuring words to them, inviting them not to be afraid, do not be afraid. He is not abandoning them, but is going to prepare a place for them and to guide them towards that destination… Read more »
