Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” And they answered him, “John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.” He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?”

Peter answered him, “You are the Messiah.” And he sternly ordered them not to tell anyone about him. Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. He said all this quite openly… Read more »

The Gospel of the day: 13th September

Qari tal-jum

L-Ewwel Qari: 1 Kor 9:16-19,22b-27
Salm: 83 (84):3,4,5-6,12

L-Evanġelju: Lq 6:39-42

F’dak iż-żmien, Ġesù qal parabbola lid-dixxipli tiegħu: “Jista’ agħma jmexxi agħma ieħor? Mhux it-tnejn jaqgħu fil-ħofra? Id-dixxiplu mhuwiex aqwa mill-imgħallem tiegħu; imma kull min itemm it-taħriġ tiegħu jsir bħall-imgħallem tiegħu.

Għax tara t-tibna f’għajn ħuk, u ma tarax it-travu li għandek f’għajnek int? Kif tista’ tgħidlu lil ħuk: “Ħi, ejja nneħħilek it-tibna li għandek f’għajnek”, meta m’intix tara t-travu li għandek f’għajnek int? … Read more »

Pope at Mass: Love is the centre of the Gospel

  “Singapore Sports Hub” Stadium

“Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up” (1 Cor 8:1). Saint Paul addresses these words to the brothers and sisters of the Christian community at Corinth. In his letters to this community, which was rich in many charisms (cf. 1 Cor 1:4-5), the Apostle often recommends that it cultivate communion in charity.

Let us listen to those words of Paul as together we thank the Lord for the Church in Singapore, which is also rich in gifts, a Church that is vibrant, growing and engaged in constructive dialogue with the various other Confessions and Religions with which it shares this wonderful land… Read more »
