As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus answered him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother.’”

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
“Agħmlu dixxipli mill-ġnus kollha” (Mt 28:19). Din hi l-istedina ħerqana ta’ Ġesù li smajna fl-Evanġelju għall-festa tal-lum. “Għammduhom fl-isem tal-Missier, u tal-Iben u tal-Ispirtu s-Santu” (Mt 28:19). Mela l-kmand ta’ Ġesù mhuwiex biss ix-xandir tal-Bxara t-Tajba, u li aħna l-Insara f’kuntatt mad-dinja, nattiraw iżjed nies għall-familja ta’ Ġesù; imma wkoll li bil-qawwa tiegħu, aħna u l-umanità, nidħlu fil-ħajja ta’ Alla li hu mħabba: il-Missier, u l-Iben, u l-Ispirtu s-Santu… Read more »

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Il-festa ta’ Marija Għajnuna tal-Insara kien introduċiha bħala festa l-Papa Piju VII b’ringrazzjament wara li hu nħeles minn priġunier ta’ Napuljun fejn kien żammu f’Fontainbleu bejn l-1809 u l-1814. Meta Napuljun spiċċa minn imperatur u kien eżiljat hu f’Elba, il-Papa rritorna Ruma u għamel din il-festa, iffissa d-data tal-24 ta’ Mejju bħala l-jum tal-festa ta’ Marija Għajnuna tal-Insara.
