The Gospel of the day: 6th July

06/07/2023

Readings of the day

First Reading: Genesis 22:1-19
Psalm: 116 (117):1-2,3-4,5-6,8-9

Gospel: Mt 9:1-8

In those days, Jesus got into a boat, crossed the sea and came to his own town. And just then some people were carrying a paralyzed man lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.” 

Then some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming.” But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts? For which is easier, to say, “Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, “Stand up and walk’? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he then said to the paralytic—”Stand up, take your bed and go to your home.” And he stood up and went to his home. 

When the crowds saw it, they were filled with awe, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to human beings.

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Tkunx bniedem bla fidi, iżda emmen” (Ġw 20:27). Dan huwa l-kliem li Ġesù jgħid lil Tumas fl-Evanġelju llum skont San Ġwann, u huwa l-kliem li jgħid lil kull wieħed u waħda minna. Ġesù jħeġġiġna biex aħna nemmnu, biex aħna negħlbu d-dubji tal-fidi tagħna, u nissaħħu fil-fidi tagħna f’Ġesù li huwa ħaj.

X’għamel Tumas f’din il-ġrajja? Tumas ma kienx ma’ sħabu meta Ġesù Rxoxt deher lilhom… Read more »

Gospel: Matthew 8:23-27

As Jesus got into a boat, his disciples followed him. Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by waves; but he was asleep. They came and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!” He said to them, “Why are you terrified, O you of little faith?”

Then he got up, rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great calm… Read more »
