I love You above all things.
I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »
Readings of the day
First Reading: Daniel 9:4b-10
Psalm: 78 (79):8,9,11 & 13
Gospel: Luke 6:36-38
Jesus said to his disciples: “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven.
Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Ġesù ġabar il-kmandamenti kollha ta’ Alla fi kmandament wieħed: “Ħobb lill-Mulej Alla tiegħek b’qalbek kollha, b’ruħek kollha, b’moħħok kollu, u bil-qawwa tiegħek kollha… ħobb lil għajrek bħalek innifsek” (Mk 12:30-31). Meta Ġesù għamel hekk, mhux biex il-kmandamenti jagħmilhom aktar laxki, anzi biex jagħmilhom aktar esiġenti, u jmur fil-fond tal-qalb tagħna.
Dan hu li naraw illum fl-Evanġelju, meta Ġesù lin-nies jgħidilhom: “Smajtu x’intqal lin-nies ta’ dari: ‘la toqtolx’” (Mt 5:21)… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
L-aħwa f’din il-mixja tar-Randan, din il-Kelma hi kelma tad-dawl u kelma ta’ tama. Ġesù qiegħed fi triqtu lejn il-ġudizzju, il-kundanna, u l-mewt. Hu bniedem innoċenti. U ta’ bniedem li kien jagħraf is-sitwazzjoni x’inhi, u jagħraf il-qalb tal-bniedem, kien jaf li sħabu se jitfixklu. U jurihom tassew min Hu. Id-dinja se tikkundannah, id-dinja se ssawtu, tinkurunah bix-xewk, issallbu; imma dan hu li Hu? … Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
L-aħwa, kull nhar ta’ Ġimgħa fir-Randan il-Vanġelu jinstigana biex insumu, imma jkollkom tistaqsuni: fil-Vanġelu li għadna kemm smajna, fuq liema sawm qiegħed jitkellem?
Ħafna drabi l-ġimgħat tar-Randan nassoċjawhom mad-drawwa li ma niklux laħam, jew li nippruvaw nieklu inqas mis-soltu; imma dan huwa sawm li jmiss il-ġisem.
Il-Mulej illum qed iħares lejn tip ieħor ta’ sawm: sawm minn imġiba li ħafna drabi tesprimi ruħha fir-rabja, fil-vjolenza… Read more »
