Readings of the day
First Reading: 2 Corinthians 1:8-22
Psalm: 118 (119):129,130,131,132,133,135
Gospel: Matthew 5:13-16
In those days, Jesus told his disciples: “You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot. “You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven. Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Għeżież adulti kandidati għas-Sagrament tal-Griżma tal-Isqof, u intom ilkoll li qed tifirħu magħhom – illum f’din is-Solennità ta’ Għid il-Ħamsin, Pentekoste, il-Knisja kollha hija mistiedna tiftakar il-bidu tagħha, u aħna lkoll imsejħa naraw postna f’din l-istorja.
Il-Pentekoste: jum it-twelid tal-Knisja
Fil-Ktieb tal-Atti tal-Appostli naqraw li meta wasal il-jum tal-Pentekoste, “ġie mis-sema ħoss bħal ta’ riħ qawwi u mela d-dar kollha fejn kienu qegħdin… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Hemm talba li ngħidu b’rabta mar-Rużarju, fejn nitolbu hekk: “Marija Santissima, urina li inti ommna”. Illum qed niċċelebraw it-tifkira ta’ Marija, Omm u Xbieha tal-Knisja. Hi tifkira li ssir pjuttost reċenti – fil-fatt, kien daħħalha bħala tifkira li ssir bħal-lum, l-għada ta’ Għid il-Ħamsin, il-Papa Franġisku seba’ snin ilu. Ried – u hawn nifhmu kemm hija tifkira sabiħa – li tintrabat ma’ Pentekoste… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Hemm dettall sabiħ f’din l-istorja, ftit qabel din is-silta li qrajna mill-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann. Hawnhekk Ġesù qiegħed fejn il-baħar tal-Galilija, meta deher lid-dixxipli tiegħu wara li qam mill-mewt. Kien qalilhom biex jitfgħu x-xibka n-naħa tal-lemin – għax dak il-lejl ma kienu qabdu xejn – u dawn qabdu ħafna ħut; mbagħad ġew u sabu lil Ġesù hemmhekk fix-xatt jistenniehom.
L-Evanġelju jgħid li hemmhekk kien hemm “faħam jaqbad bil-ħut fuqu” (Ġw 21:9)… Read more »
Dear brothers and sisters,
“The day has dawned upon us when…, glorified by his ascension into heaven following his resurrection, the Lord Jesus Christ sent the Holy Spirit” (Saint Augustine, Serm. 271, 1). Today, too, what took place in the Upper Room takes place anew in our midst. Like a mighty wind that overtakes us, like a crash that startles us, like a fire that illuminates us, the gift of the Holy Spirit descends upon us (cf. Acts 2:1-11)… Read more »
