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: Genesis 46:1-7,28-30
Psalm: 36 (37):3-4,18-19,27-28,39-40
Gospel: Matthew 10:16-23
In those days, Jesus told his apostles: “See, I am sending you out like sheep into the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Beware of them, for they will hand you over to councils and flog you in their synagogues; and you will be dragged before governors and kings because of me, as a testimony to them and the Gentiles. When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you at that time; for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death; and you will be hated by all because of my name… Read more »

Readings of the day
First Reading: Genesis 44:18-21,23b-29; 45:1-5
Psalm: 104 (105):16-17,18-19,20-21
Gospel: Matthew 10:7-15
In those days, Jesus told his apostles, “As you go, proclaim the good news, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. You received without payment; give without payment. Take no gold, or silver, or copper in your belts, no bag for your journey, or two tunics, or sandals, or a staff; for laborers deserve their food.
Whatever town or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you leave. As you enter the house, greet it. If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave that house or town.
Truly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgement than for that town.

Psalm: 32 (33):2-3,10-11,18-19
Gospel: Mt 10:1-7
In those days, Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every sickness. These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him.
These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, proclaim the good news, “The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Hemm pittura sabiħa ta’ Caravaggio li qiegħda fi knisja f’Ruma – il-knisja ta’ San Luigi dei Francesi. Qiegħda f’kappella fejn fil-fatt hemm tliet pitturi dwar San Mattew. Waħda minnhom hi s-sejħa ta’ Mattew, u tesprimi b’mod sabiħ ħafna dak li smajna fl-Evanġelju llum.
Is-sejħa ta’ Ġesù
Mattew qiegħed bilqiegħda flimkien ma’ erba’ oħra, madwar mejda li fuqha hemm il-flus, u tnejn minnhom qed iħarsu lejn il-flus u jibqgħu jħarsu lejn il-flus… Read more »
