Readings of the day
First Reading: Acts 9:1-20
Psalm: 116 (117):1,2
Gospel: John 6:52-59
In those days, the Jews disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them.
Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died… Read more »
Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!

The philosopher Aristotle wrote his most important treatise on ethics, addressing it to his son Nicomachus, to instruct him in the art of living… Read more »

First Reading: Acts 8:26-40
Psalm: 65 (66):8-9,16-17,20
Gospel: John 6:44-51
In those days, Jesus said to the crowd: “No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me; and I will raise that person up on the last day. It is written in the prophets, “And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.
Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven… Read more »

Gospel: John 6:35-40
In those days, Jesus said to the crowd, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and anyone who comes to me I will never drive away; for I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Marru lejn Kafarnahum ifittxu lil Ġesù” (Ġw 6:24). Hekk naqraw fuq dawn in-nies fl-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann. Naraw din il-ħerqa kbira li kellhom biex isibu lil Ġesù. Fil-fatt l-Evanġelju jgħid li kien hemm dgħajsa waħda u raw li Ġesù ma kienx fiha, imbagħad stennew, ġew id-dgħajjes minn Tiberija u lanqas hemm ma kien Ġesù, imma tant riedu jsibu lil Ġesù li telgħu fuq id-dgħajjes huma u marru lejn Kafarnahum biex ifittxu lil Ġesù… Read more »
