L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Qegħdin lejlet il-Ġublew tal-2025 fil-festa tal-Madonna tal-Karmnu tal-2024, tħares lejn dak il-jum tal-24 ta’ Diċembru meta l-Papa Franġisku jiftaħ l-ewwel bieb qaddis ġewwa il-Bażilika ta’ San Pietru fil-Vatikan f’Diċembru 2024, u jiftaħ il-Ġublew Qaddis tas-sena 2025. Aħna l-Insara niċċelebraw 2025 sena mit-twelid ta’ Sidna Ġesù Iben Marija.
U l-Papa Franġisku jixtieq li l-Ġublew jekk inħarsu lejh, bħal-lum sena nkunu diġà fil-qalba tal-Ġublew, inħarsu lejh bħala pellegrini tat-tama, nies li qegħdin f’mixja u li aħna għandna tama qawwija, li hi ċerta, li ma tingannaniex… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Fl-Evanġelju tal-lum, fil-kapitlu 6 ta’ San Mark, ninnutaw li Ġesù jiddeċiedi li l-missjoni tiegħu, jafdaha lit-tnax-il dixxiplu tiegħu u “jibgħathom tnejn tnejn” (Mk 6:7). Ħafna qaddisin jieqfu fuq din l-espressjoni. Ma bagħathomx weħidhom imma jibgħathom tnejn tnejn. Donnu x-xhieda li rridu nagħtu hi qabelxejn ix-xhieda tal-kapaċità li naħdmu flimkien. Kultant il-ħajja ġġagħlna ngħidu: ‘isma’, aħjar nagħmilha waħdi din għax nagħmilha malajr u nagħmilha aħjar; imma biex tiftiehem ma’ ħaddieħor u biex issir, indumu iżjed’… Read more »

Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

Psalm: 49 (50):8-9,16bc-17,21 u 23
Gospel: Mt 10:34 – 11:1
Jesus said to his Apostles: “Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth. I have come to bring not peace but the sword. For I have come to set a man ‘against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one’s enemies will be those of his household.’
Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me… Read more »
Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!
Today the Gospel tells us about Jesus who sends His disciples on the mission (cf. Mk 6:7-13). He sends them “two by two”, and recommends something important: to take with them only what is necessary.
Let us pause a moment on this image: the disciples are sent together, and must take with them only what is necessary… Read more »
