Blessed are those slaves whom the master finds alert when he comes; truly I tell you, he will fasten his belt and have them sit down to eat, and he will come and serve them. If he comes during the middle of the night, or near dawn, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.”

Dear brothers and sisters, buongiorno!

They go to Him and ask: “Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?” (Mt 22:17).

These are the first supplies allowed to enter Gaza since Israel tightened its blockade of the territory a fortnight ago. The aid – which includes medicine and food – is being transferred onto UN and Red Crescent vehicles.

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Mgħallem, aħna nafu li inti raġel tħobb is-sewwa u li t-triq ta’ Alla tgħallimha kif tassew hi bla ma tħabbel rasek minn ħadd, għax int lejn wiċċ ħadd ma tħares” (Mt 22:16). Dan il-kliem jgħiduh id-dixxipli tal-Fariżej ma’ xi Erodjani lil Ġesù llum fl-Evanġelju. Jekk tieqaf hawn, tgħid: dawn għandhom verament idea tajba ta’ Ġesù, għax qed jgħidu fuqu tliet affarijiet tassew sbieħ – li jħobb is-sewwa, li jgħallem it-triq ta’ Alla u jgħallimha kif inhi, u ma jħares lejn wiċċ ħadd… Read more »
