My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
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 »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Illum qed infakkru waħda mill-aktar ġranet speċjali fil-ħajja ta’ Ġesù – lejla qaddisa li tkellem direttament lill-qalb tagħna, aħna min aħna. Tkellem lilna lkoll, u għandha tifsira kbira f’post bħal dan. Ħamis ix-Xirka mhuwiex dwar glorja jew setgħa. Mhuwiex dwar ħakma u poter. Huwa dwar l-imħabba, is-servizz, u t-tama li tinfed anke l-aktar rokna mudlama ta’ ħajjitna.
F’dan il-lejl, Ġesù qasam ikla mad-dixxipli tiegħu, l-iktar ħbieb qrib tiegħu… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
“Int, Mulej, taħsilli saqajja?” Ġesù wieġbu: “Int għalissa ma tafx x’qiegħed nagħmel jien; tifhmu aktar ’il quddiem. Qallu Pietru: “Ma jkun qatt li inti taħsilli saqajja! Wieġbu Ġesù: “Jekk ma naħsillekx saqajk, ma jkollokx x’taqsam miegħi” (Ġw 13:6-8). Kemm hi qawwija din ir-risposta ta’ Ġesù. Pietru qed joġġezzjona għax ma jistax jifhem kif il-Mulej u l-Imgħallem, jitbaxxa daqshekk, li jieħu fuqu x-xogħol u r-rwol tal-ilsir, jinża’ l-mantar, jitħażżem b’fardal, u jaħsel saqajn id-dixxipli… Read more »

Dear bishops and priests,
Dear brothers and sisters!
“The Alpha and the Omega, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty” (Rev 1:8), is Jesus himself. That same Jesus whom Luke presents to us in the synagogue of Nazareth, among those who have known him since he was a child, and are now amazed at him… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Hu u jaqra l-ktieb ta’ Iżaija, Ġesù jfakkarna li llum qegħdin niċċelebraw l-inizjattiva ta’ Alla. “L-ispirtu ta’ Sidi l-Mulej fuqi, għax il-Mulej ikkonsagrani … bagħatni…” (Iż 61:1). Il-Mulej jagħraf l-inizjattiva tal-Missier u jgħallimna wkoll nilqgħu bil-ferħ u bi gratitudni kbira l-inizjattiva ta’ Alla f’ħajjitna.
Kif tinsisti l-Ittra lil-Lhud, ikun bluha li tieħu fuqek il-ministeru mingħajr m’inti msejjaħ imma lkoll kemm aħna nafu li s-sejħa kienet u tibqa’ misteru… Read more »
