Psalm: 30 (31):3cd-4, 6ab, 7b, 8a, 17 & 21ab
Gospel: John 6:30-35
The crowd said to Jesus: “What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do? Our ancestors ate manna in the desert, as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
So Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Tfittxunix biss għal dak li nista’ nagħtikom. Fittxuni l-ewwel għal dak li jien”. Dak hu l-messaġġ li Ġesù qed jgħid lilna llum fl-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann, li joħroġ b’mod sabiħ ħafna minn dan id-djalogu, il-laqgħa, li kien hemm ta’ Ġesù mal-folla.
Ħa naraw ftit din ix-xena. Dawn in-nies kellhom diġà esperjenza sabiħa ħafna meta Ġesù tema’ ħamest elef ruħ u fuqhom b’ħames ħobżiet tax-xgħir u żewġ ħutiet żgħar… Read more »
L-inizjattiva Logos qed torġanizza attività nhar l-Erbgħa 7 ta’ Mejju 2025, bejn is-6:00 p.m. u t-8:30 p.m. fil-Librerija tas-Seminarju tal-Arċisqof f’Tal-Virtù, Rabat, fejn se jiġi diskuss is-suġġett ta’ tmiem il-ħajja, b’rispett u dinjità.
Kulħadd jaf li, darba jew oħra, ħajtu se tintemm. Kulħadd jittama li ħajtu tintemm b’dinjità. Iżda xi tfisser li l-ħajja tintemm b’dinjità? Dwar dan, mhux kulħadd jaqbel. Hawn min jgħid li tmiem ta’ ħajja b’dinjità jfisser li jkollok l-għajnuna kollha biex tbati uġigħ mill-anqas, u idealment bla ebda uġigħ… Read more »
Following the passing of Pope Francis on Monday, April 21, 2025—the day after Easter— Robert Aloisio is publishing a book, ‘Konklavi’, released by Sayit Publications. The aim of this book is to address common questions and misconceptions associated with the Conclave, as the College of Cardinals began preparations to elect the 267th Pope of the Catholic Church.
Three years ago, Aloisio published a book on the last seven Popes… Read more »
Men work on turning the popemobile into a health clinic (Caritas)
Pope Francis’ legacy of peace continues to shine in our conflict-ridden world. The closeness he showed to the most vulnerable during his earthly mission is radiating even after his death, and this most recent surprise is no exception: His popemobile, the very vehicle from which he waved and was close to millions of faithful all around the world, is being transformed into a mobile health unit for the children of Gaza… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Marru rikbu d-dgħajsa, u dak il-lejl ma qabdu xejn” (Ġw 21:3). L-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann illum jippreżentalna din ix-xena ta’ dawn id-dixxipli ta’ Ġesù li, wara l-mewt u l-qawmien tiegħu, kienu għadhom konfużi, qishom ma jafux x’jaqbdu jagħmlu. U reġgħu lura għall-ħajja normali tagħhom – ħafna minnhom kienu sajjieda. Għalhekk, meta Pietru qal li sejjer jistad, dawn iddeċidew li jmorru miegħu… Read more »
Ritratt: Arċidjoċesi ta’ Malta – Ian Noel Pace
“Kulma għamiltu ma’ wieħed mill-iżgħar fost dawn ħuti għamiltuh miegħi” (Mt 25:40). Dan il-kliem ta’ Ġesù għandu sinifikat qawwi ħafna fil-festa ta’ San Publiju, il-qaddis li ħajtu ngħaqdet b’mod mill-aktar straordinarju ma’ dik ta’ San Pawl, meta dan ġarrab nawfraġju fuq il-gżira ta’ Malta.
Ġesù qed jitkellem fuq l-opri tal-ħniena, u waħda minnhom li jsemmi hi: “Kont barrani u lqajtuni” (Mt 25:35)… Read more »
