Prayer for Spiritual Communion
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,
come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »
Readings of the day
First Reading: Judges 6:11-24a
Psalm: 84 (85):9,11-12,13-14
Gospel: Matthew 19:23-30
In those days, Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astounded and said, “Then who can be saved?” But Jesus looked at them and said, “For mortals it is impossible, but for God all things are possible.”
Then Peter said in reply, “Look, we have left everything and followed you… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Mara, il-fidi tiegħek hi kbira!” (Mt 15:28) Hekk jgħid Ġesù lil din il-mara, kif smajna fl-Evanġelju llum. Imma ħaġa li tolqotna hi li qabel ma jasal biex jgħidilha hekk, qisu jagħtiha ħafna terturi. Qabel ma jfaħħar il-fidi tagħha u jfejjaq lil bintha, iġibha bit-tul.
Jolqotna dan l-episodju għax għall-bidu qisu mhux Ġesù li nafu. Kif smajna fl-Akklamazzjoni ta’ qabel l-Evanġelju “Ġesù dar il-Galilija kollha… jfejjaq kull xorta ta’ mard u dgħufija fost il-poplu” (Mt 4:23)… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
“Dari dar it-talb tissejjaħ għall-popli kollha” (Iż 56:7). Din hija l-profezija minn Iżaija li qrajna llum u li tixraq ħafna wkoll għal din l-okkażjoni li fiha qegħdin niċċelebraw il-50 anniversarju mit-tberik ta’ din il-knisja. Hija dar it-talb, hija dar il-Mulej. U tissejjaħ hekk għall-popli kollha.
Fid-dawl tal-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna, nifhmu li meta Isaija jifhem: “il-popli kollha” qed jinkludi mhux biss lil ħutu l-Lhud imma wkoll lil dawk li ġejjin mill-ġnus… Read more »
Dear brothers and sisters, buongiorno!
Today’s Gospel recounts the encounter of Jesus with a Canaanite woman outside the territory of Israel (cf. Mt 15:21-28). She asks him to liberate her daughter, who is tormented by a demon.

Readings of the day
First Reading: Judges 2:11-19
Psalm: 105 (106):34-35,36-37,39-40,43ab & 44
Gospel: Matthew 19:16-22
In those days, someone came to him and said, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.” He said to him, “Which ones?”
And Jesus said, “You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; Honour your father and mother; also, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” The young man said to him, “I have kept all these; what do I still lack?” Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” When the young man heard this word, he went away grieving, for he had many possessions.
