Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

Jesus said to the Jews: “Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever keeps my word will never see death.”

Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? … Read more »
Dear brothers and sisters,
Today we will look at another of Jesus’ encounters, narrated by the Gospels. This time, however, the person encountered does not have a name. The evangelist Mark presents him simply as “a man” (10:17). He is a man who has observed the commandments ever since his youth but who, despite this, has not yet found the meaning of his life… Read more »

“If you live well, the priesthood is a source of joy.” These are the words of Fr. David Cilia, offering us a glimpse into the discussion about his vocational journey. A journey that has brought him into contact with various groups of people, but above all, one in which he sees an opportunity to draw closer to Jesus, the fullness of true joy.

In those days Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him, “If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” They answered him, “We are descendants of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Il-ġrajja tal-laqgħa ta’ Ġesù mal-mara li nqabdet f’adulterju hija ġrajja mill-isbaħ li għandna fl-Evanġelju. U hija adattata ħafna għall-okkażjoni tal-lum meta qegħdin niċċelebraw is-sittin anniversarju mill-Ordinazzjoni Presbiterali tal-ħames reliġjużi, membri tas-Soċjetà Missjunarja ta’ San Pawl. Dan għaliex turina min hu Ġesù għalina, kollu mħabba, maħfra, ħniena u fl-istess waqt, li jridna ngħixu b’dinjità u jagħtina ħajja ġdida; u għaliex seħibna, sieħeb lil dawn is-saċerdoti reliġjużi f’dan il-ministeru li jwasslu l-imħabba, maħfra u l-ħniena ta’ Alla… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Imqar jekk nimxi f’wied mudlam ma nibżax mill-ħsara għax inti miegħi” (Salm 23:4). Dan hu li tlabna fis-Salm illum, u għedna għalhekk li l-Mulej, li hu r-ragħaj tagħna, imexxina dejjem, anke fil-mumenti mudlama tal-ħajja. B’kuntrast mal-“wied mudlam”, hemm dan li jgħid Ġesù llum fl-Evanġelju, meta jgħid: “Jiena d-dawl tad-dinja” (Ġw 8:12). Dan hu d-dawl li jgħinna fil-mumenti kollha tal-ħajja tagħna, imma speċjalment fil-mumenti l-iktar mudlama… Read more »
