The Pharisees came forward and began to argue with Jesus, seeking from him a sign from heaven to test him. He sighed from the depth of his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
Then he left them, got into the boat again, and went off to the other shore… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
L-Evanġelju tal-lum jista’ jinstema’ bħala xi ħaġa ’l bogħod għaliex għall-grazzja t’Alla l-marda tal-lebbra—marda li taffettwa l-ġilda tal-bniedem—illum hawn il-fejqan għaliha. Imma tajjeb nieħdu t-tagħlima li jagħtina Ġesù—tagħlima ta’ ħniena u ta’ kuraġġ—u nistaqsu lilna nfusna: imma fostna, madwarna, fil-familji tagħna hemm nies għeżież u oħrajn mhumiex li aħna nitrattaw bħalma kienu jagħmlu elfejn sena ilu lil min kien bil-lebbra? … Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Iż-żewġ sinjali li ssieħbu l-kelma li ħallielna Pawlu huma propju l-ħelsien mill-lifgħa velenuża u l-fejqan ta’ missier Publiju u tal-morda kollha tal-gżira. Huma dawn iż-żewġ sinjali fost il-lista li jsemmi Ġesù fl-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna, li jsiru sinjal tal-qawwa tiegħu u tal-preżenza tiegħu fostna. Illum f’dan il-jum solenni tal-10 ta’ Frar, nitolbu lill-Mulej ikun għalina salvatur u jkun għalina emanuel… Read more »

In those days, Jesus said to the Eleven, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He who believes and is baptised will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that attended it… Read more »
