Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!
Today’s Gospel offers us a story regarding the meaning of life of each person. It is the parable of the ten virgins, called to go out to meet the bridegroom (cf. Mt 25:1-13). Living is this: a grand preparation for the day when we will be called to go to Jesus! However, in the parable of the ten virgins, five are wise and five foolish… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Hieni dak il-qaddej li sidu jiġi u jsibu jaqdi dmiru” (Mt 24:46). Dan il-kliem Ġesù jgħidu ftit qabel ma jirrakkonta l-parabbola tal-għaxar xebbiet, u huwa l-kliem li fil-fatt ifisser il-messaġġ importanti tal-Evanġelju meta jgħid din il-parabbola.
Hawnhekk Ġesù, meta jsemmi dawn l-għaxar xebbiet – ħamsa kienu għaqlin u ħamsa kienu boloh – li kienu qed jistennew l-għarus, qed ifisser dak li aħna rridu nagħrfu f’ħajjitna, għax f’mument jew ieħor se niltaqgħu ma’ Ġesù fi tmiem ħajjitna… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
“L-aqwa tal-għaqal huwa li taħseb fil-għerf u min jishar għalih malajr jeħles mill-inkwiet” (Għerf 6:14). Dan il-vers mill-ktieb tal-Għerf, li smajna fl-ewwel qari llum, insibu eku ta’ dak li jgħid Ġesù fil-parabbola li jirrakkonta fil-silta mill-Evanġelju ta’ San Mattew li nqrat illum u li tinqara mad-dinja Kattolika kollha.

Psalm: 144 (145):2-3,4-5,10-11
Gospel: Luke 16:9-15
In those days, Jesus told his disciples: “Make friends for yourselves by means of dishonest wealth so that when it is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal homes. Whoever is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. If then you have not been faithful with the dishonest wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own?
