First Reading: Ezekiel 18:21-28
Psalm: 129 (130):1-2,3-4ab,4c-6,7-8

Gospel: Matthew 5:20-26

Jesus said to his disciples:  “I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter into the Kingdom of heaven.

You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, ‘You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgement.’ But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgement, and whoever insults his brother will be answerable to the council, and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ will be liable to the hell of fire… Read more »

Biblical events and spiritual symbolism inspire new look for the church of The Resurrected Christ in Pembroke

Proġett li ħa diversi snin ta’ ppjanar u xhur ta’ ħidma wassal biex il-Parroċċa ta’ Kristu Rxoxt f’Pembroke issa qed tgawdi minn dehra ġdida bħala parti minn proġett li għandu ħsieb profond li jgħaqqad ir-rakkonti u s-simboliżmi Bibbliċi mal-ħajja ta’ kuljum.

Fil-qofol tal-proġett hemm it-Tabernaklu, li jinsab fiċ-ċentru tal-Knisja. Mal-bibien tat-tabernaklu se jiġu skolpiti għamla ta’ taraġ tal-bronż li jissimbolizza r-rakkont ta’ Natanjel, fejn Kristu qallu: “Għad tara ħwejjeġ ikbar minn dawn, għad tara s-sema miftuħ, u l-anġli ta’ Alla telgħin u neżlin fuq Bin il-Bniedem.”

It-Tabernaklu jinsab f’ċirku tal-irħam ta’ lewn kaħlani, li jissimbolizza l-univers, u jagħti sens tal-infinit u ta’ misteru, bħalma l-bniedem ma jistax jifhem il-misteru tal-Ewkaristija… Read more »

World Day of Social Justice: Why are we here if not to serve humanity?

On World Day of Social Justice, the CIDSE Secretary General reminds us that every decision we take and every new policy that is implemented have an impact on the lives and livelihoods of others, and that the crises we face today are interconnected.

Social Justice means equality and dignity for all. It means a system is put in place not only to protect but to aid choices people make, as well as to create an environment that keeps them safe and helps them flourish… Read more »

The least of our brothers and sisters – Bishop Galea-Curmi

  The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Kulma għamiltu mal-iżgħar fost dawn ħuti, għamiltuh miegħi” (Mt 25:40). Dan hu l-kliem ta’ Ġesù, li jgħid fl-Evanġelju llum skont San Mattew meta jsemmi l-opri tal-ħniena. Hawnhekk Ġesù qed jgħidilna fuq xiex se nkunu ġġudikati: kemm aħna ħabbejna tassew lill-oħrajn, u għalhekk lil Alla nnifsu, u waqafna ma’ min qed ibati.

Ġesù hawnhekk jagħtina messaġġ importanti ħafna għal ħajjitna… Read more »
