Gospel: Luke 4:31-37
In those days, Jesus went down to Capernaum, a city in Galilee, and was teaching them on the sabbath. They were astounded at his teaching, because he spoke with authority.
In the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, “Let us alone! … Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Ġie Nażaret fejn kien trabba” (Lq 4:16). Mal-ewwel, fl-Evanġelju skont San Luqa, naraw lil Ġesù li jibda l-missjoni tiegħu – li jwassal il-Kelma ta’ Alla – mhux f’Ġerusalemm imma proprju f’Nażaret, fejn kien għex, kien trabba. Hawn illum għandna din is-silta fejn Ġesù jmur is-sinagoga. Interessanti dil-kelma li hemm: “kif kien imdorri jagħmel kull nhar ta’ Sibt” (Lq 4:16) – biex tfakkarna dejjem kemm hu importanti li għandna nieħdu bis-serjetà l-obbligi tagħna reliġjużi… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Hemm żewġ kelmiet li jfissru tajjeb ħafna l-messaġġ li Ġesù jagħti fl-Evanġelju llum lil dawk in-nies li kienu qrib tiegħu, u lilna wkoll: umiltà u ġenerożità. Hawnhekk Ġesù kien mistieden mal-oħrajn, u kienu madwar mejda, u kien qed jinnota kif il-mistednin bdew jagħżlu l-postijiet ta’ quddiem fil-mejda. Ikla bħal din ma kinetx sempliċiment ikla, imma kien ikun hemm postijiet ta’ unur, u qisu jekk inti ssib post tajjeb, is-siġġu juri kemm int importanti… Read more »

On September 1, Christians across the world unite to mark Creation Day, the annual celebration of the mystery of Creation.
Speaking at the Sunday Angelus, Pope Leo XIV recalled that Pope Francis extended the celebration to Catholics 10 years ago by instituting the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, saying prayer for Creation is “now more urgent and important than ever.”
“Together with all Christians, we celebrate it and extend it into the Season of Creation until October 4, the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi,” he said… Read more »

Gospel: Luke 4:16-30
In those days, Jesus came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. He went to the synagogue on the sabbath day, as was his custom.

He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor… Read more »
