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

12/09/2024   “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 »

Pope at Mass in Timor-Leste: Children show us the importance of ‘smallness’

10/09/2024

“A child has been born for us, a son given to us” (Is 9:6).

With these words, in the first reading, the prophet Isaiah addresses the inhabitants of Jerusalem. It was a prosperous time for that city, but sadly also characterized by great moral decadence.
