My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things.

The Gospel of the day: 21st October

Readings of the day

First Reading: Romans 5:12,15b,17-19,20b-21
Psalm: 39 (40):7-8a,8b-9,10,17

Gospel: Luke 12:35-38

In those days, Jesus told his disciples: “Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit; be like those who are waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that they may open the door for him as soon as he comes and knocks. 

Blessed are those slaves whom the master finds alert when he comes; truly I tell you, he will fasten his belt and have them sit down to eat, and he will come and serve them. If he comes during the middle of the night, or near dawn, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.” Read more »

Protect us from all greed – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

https://youtu.be/pcSKEWb5tnk L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Ħabib… min qegħedni mħallef fuqkom, jew qabbadni nqassmilkom il-ġid bejnietkom?” (Lq 12:14) Din hija r-risposta ta’ Ġesù lil dak il-bniedem li minn qalb il-folla għajjat u qallu: “Mgħallem, għid lil  ħija jaqsam il-wirt miegħi” (Lq 12:13). Issa aħna nifhmu lil dal-bniedem, għax ma setax isib xi ħadd aħjar minn Ġesù biex ikun imħallef jew iqassam il-ġid b’mod ġust. Imma Ġesù, li jagħraf lilhinn minn dak li jidher, għaraf li ma kienx il-mument meta hu jidħol f’din il-biċċa xogħol bejniethom, imma ried ukoll li jieħu din l-okkażjoni biex jagħti messaġġ importanti lin-nies – u lilna llum – fuq ir-regħba… Read more »

Living stones in a living church – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

Celebration on the centenary of the church's consecration

  The Parish Church of St Paul's Shipwreck, Munxar, Gozo

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Kemm hi għażiża d-dar tiegħek, Mulej tal-eżerċti!” (Salm 84:2). Illum niċċelebraw jum ta’ tifkira u ta’ misteru: it-tifkira ta’ meta din il-binja għażiża ġiet ikkonsagrata lil Alla, u l-misteru ta’ Alla li għażel li jgħammar fostna.

Qegħdin fuq art qaddisa. Din id-dar ikkonsagrata hija dar għażiża għax fiha aħna niltaqgħu ma’ Alla, nirċievu u nimtlew bl-imħabba tiegħu. Hawn niġu biex infaħħruh, biex nirringrazzjawh, biex nitolbuh il-barka u l-għajnuna tiegħu… Read more »

Holy Mass with the canonisation of 7 Blessed

Homily of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV

Dear brothers and sisters,

Let us begin our reflection with the question that concludes the Gospel just proclaimed: “When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” (Lk 18:8). This question reveals to us what is most precious in the Lord’s eyes: faith, namely, the bond of love between God and man… Read more »

“The school was the spiritual womb for Sr. Antoinette Pace where she gave birth to good hearts through her kindness”

She stood out for her love in the hearts of many

Sr Antoinette Pace – persuna maħbuba ferm minn ħafna hekk kif ħajjitha ddedikata għat-tfal u ż-żgħażagħ.

Il-Ħamis 16 t’Ottubru Sr Antoinette ngħatat l-aħħar tislima fil-Bażilika ta’ San Ġorġ. Hi kienet imfakkra minn Fr Eric Cachia, Superjur Provinċjali tas-Salesjani f’Malta waqt l-omelija tiegħu bħala dik il-persuna li ma spikkatx minħabba l-kliem sabiħ tagħha jew għax tkellmet b’xi qawwa tan-nar, iżda spikkat għall-imħabba tagħha fil-qlub ta’ ħafna… Read more »
