My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things.
I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Fl-Evanġelju tal-lum skont San Ġwann, fis-sitt Ħadd tal-Għid, nisimgħu espressjoni sabiħa: “Ibqgħu fl-imħabba tiegħi” (Ġw15:9). Kemm hi stedina sabiħa din li għamel Ġesù.
L-ewwel nett jassikura li l-inizjattiva ġejja minnu, u dil-ħaġa hemm bżonn niftakruha. Wara kollox qed niċċelebraw staġun ta’ ferħ, li jitwieled fil-ġimgħa l-Kbira u fl-Għid il-Kbir. “Kif ħabbni Missieri hekk ħabbejtkom jiena” (Ġw15:9).
Ġesù qed jgħidilna ċar u tond li jekk hemm xi kelma fil-Vanġelu li hemm bżonn niftakruha hija din il-kelma: “Kif ħabbni Missieri hekk ħabbejtkom jien” (Ġw15:9) … Read more »

Sixth Sunday of Easter
Readings of the day
First Reading: Acts 10:25-26,34-35,44-48
Psalm: 97(98):1,2-3ab,3cd-4
Second Reading: 1 John 4:7-10
Gospel: John 15:9-17
In those days, Jesus told his disciples: “As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.
This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father.
You did not choose me but I chose you… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Dun Mosè kien saċerdot li ta ħajtu biex jaqdi lill-poplu. Għalhekk illum aħna bir-raġun rikonoxxenti lejh. Imma Dun Mosè, qabel kollox, wieġeb għas-sejħa tal-Mulej u qiegħed it-talenti tiegħu biex jaqdi lill-Mulej fil-poplu tiegħu. Aħna nafu kif hu għaraf juża d-doni li Alla tah, li kienu ħafna, u jagħġinhom mal-ħajja li Alla sejjaħlu għaliha, u jgħix din il-ħajja b’tant entużjażmu u ħeġġa… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Għadek ma għaraftnix?” (Ġw 14:9) Dan hu li jgħid Ġesù llum lil Filippu fl-Aħħar Ċena meta Filippu juri x-xewqa lil Ġesù: “Mulej, urina l-Missier, u jkun biżżejjed għalina” (Ġw 14:8). Ġesù kien qed jitkellem fuq kif min jagħraf lilu, jagħraf lill-Missier. Hekk kien qed jgħid lid-dixxipli tiegħu. Imma Filippu għamillu din id-domanda, u Ġesù jgħidlu: “Ili daqshekk magħkom u int, Filippu, għadek ma għaraftnix?”
Dan hu Filippu li tiegħu qed nagħmlu l-festa llum, flimkien ma’ Ġakbu… Read more »
Dan l-aħħar kelli grazzja kbira li nkun Praga. Mort għax-xogħol tat-tmintax-il konsultazzjoni tal-Kappillani Ewropej. It-tema ta’ din il-konferenza kienet tabilħaqq attwalissma: “Tkun Kappillan fl-Isptar: Tibqa’ preżenti u attiv/a f’dinja fraġli”.
Jekk il-ħajja stess saret sptar, għax il-fraġilità u l-vulnerabilità jinstabu kullimkien, allura kull sitwazzjoni titlob dik il-kompassjoni ta’ Kristu. Wara kollox, jekk ma nurux ħniena ma’ xulxin billi nisimgħu naqra d-dwejjaq ta’ xulxin, għiduli intom x’ħajja nkunu qed ngħixu? … Read more »
