I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »
Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Readings of the day
First Reading: Amos 7:12-15
Psalm: 84 (85):9-14
Second Reading: Ephesians 1:3-14
Gospel: Mark 6:7-13
In those days, Jesus called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. He ordered them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts; but to wear sandals and not to put on two tunics.
He said to them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave the place. If any place will not welcome you and they refuse to hear you, as you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them.”
So they went out and proclaimed that all should repent. They cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them. Read more »

First Reading: Isaiah 6:1-8
Psalm: 92 (93):1ab,1c-2.5
Gospel: Matthew 10:24-33
Jesus said to his Apostles: “No disciple is above his teacher, no slave above his master.

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
L-Evanġelju tal-14-il ġimgħa taż-żmien ta’ Matul is-Sena li qrajna llum, u li qed jinqara fil-Knejjes Kattoliċi madwar id-dinja, u li mhux magħżul għal din l-okkażjoni, neħduh bħala providenza. Dan l-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna, jgħid kelma li meta kont qed naqraha u nitlob fuqha, ħsibt fikom u għedt kemm din tgħodd għall-Korp tal-Pulizija! “Jien qiegħed nibgħatkom bħal nagħaġ qalb l-ilpup” (Mt 10:16)… Read more »
Il-Ġimgħa waranofsinhar, 12 ta’ Lulju 2024, se tibda t-22 edizzjoni tal-maratona ta’ xandir Oħloq Tbissima, li se tibqa’ għaddejja sal-Ħadd, 14 ta’ Lulju 2024, fuq diversi stazzjonijiet lokali tat-televixin.
Din hi 22 sena ta’ għajnuna lill-missjunarji Maltin li għal ħafna snin ilhom jaħdmu mal-familji fqar fil-Perù, Pakistan u l-Filippini. Familji li li kieku ma kienx għal dawn il-patrijiet qalbiena, tkun diffiċli ħafna għalihom biex jgħixu b’dinjità. Diffiċli biex jieħdu kura medika, biex jibgħatu lit-tfal tagħhom l-iskola, u biex ikollhom almenu ikla kuljum… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
San Benedittu, Fundatur tal-Monakiżmu fil-Punent, għex ħafna snin ilu. Twieled għall-ħabta tas-sena 480, u miet fis-sena 547, jiġifieri ara kemm għaddew snin minn meta għex! Imma meta aħna naraw il-ħajja tiegħu u l-kelma tiegħu, jolqotna kemm għadu rilevanti għall-ħajja tagħna llum. Baqa’ wkoll ħaj fl-esperjenza spiritwali ta’ tant nies li segwewh, fil-ħajja monastika u ispirati mir-Regola tiegħu.
Nixtieq insemmi tliet punti mir-rikkezza kbira tal-ħajja tiegħu, li naħseb jagħtu messaġġ sabiħ għall-ħajja tagħna fi żminijietna… Read more »
