come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

First Reading: Ex 1:8-14,22
Psalm: 123 (124):1-3,4-6,7-8
Gospel: Mt 10:34 – 11:1
In those days, Jesus told his apostles: “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one’s foes will be members of one’s own household. … Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
“Agħmel hekk u tgħix” (Lq 10:28). Kemm hi sabiħa din il-kelma li Ġesù jgħid lil dan l-Imgħallem tal-Liġi, li meta Ġesù staqsieh x’hemm miktub fil-Liġi (u l-Liġi kienet serje ta’ mijiet ta’ liġijiet, mhux liġi waħda) jagħżel l-aqwa ħaġa: il-kmandament tal-imħabba. “Fil-Liġi x’hemm miktub? Inti x’taqra fiha?[…] ‘Int għandek tħobb il-Mulej, Alla tiegħek, b’qalbek kollha[…] u lill-proxxmu tiegħek bħalek innifsek’” (Lq 10:26-27)… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Ut in omnibus glorificetur Deus”. Dawn il-kelmiet bil-Latin insibuhom fil-Prologu tar-Regola ta’ San Benedittu. U jfissru: “Biex f’kollox ikun igglorifikat Alla”. Dan hu, fil-fatt, l-essenzjal tal-ħidma kolha ta’ San Benedittu, u huwa dak li jmexxi wkoll il-ħidma li ssir illum mill-Benedittini, li waqqaf San Benedittu, fid-diversi monasteri tagħhom. Aħna llum qegħdin nagħtu ġieh lil dan il-qaddis kbir, li hu wieħed mill-patruni tal-Ewropa – kien għamlu patrun il-Papa Pawlu VI – u missier il-monastiċismu tal-Punent, u ta kontribut kbir għaċ-ċiviltà u għall-kultura tal-Punent… Read more »

Readings of the day
First Reading: Gen 49:29-33; 50:15-26a
Psalm: 104 (105):1-2,3-4,6-7
Gospel: Mt 10:24-33
In those days, Jesus told his apostles: “A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a slave above the master; it is enough for the disciple to be like the teacher, and the slave like the master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household!
“So have no fear of them; for nothing is covered up that will not be uncovered, and nothing secret that will not become known. What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light; and what you hear whispered, proclaim from the housetops.
Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
