I love You above all things.
I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,

Readings of the day
First Reading: Wisdom 1:1-7
Psalm: 138 (139):1-3,4-6,7-8,9-10
Gospel: Luke 17:1-6
Jesus said to his disciples, “Things that cause sin will inevitably occur, but woe to the person through whom they occur. It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck and he be thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin… Read more »
Illum il-Knisja tiċċelebra festa li hija differenti minn ħafna oħrajn li jsiru matul is-sena: il-festa tad-Dedikazzjoni tal-Bażilika ta’ San Ġwann Lateran f’Ruma. Din mhix festa ta’ qaddis, jew ta’ misteru partikolari fil-ħajja Nisranija, imma festa ta’ bini antik ħafna u ta’ valur straordinarju. Imma dan mhux biss bini ta’ valur kbir, imma l-Katidral tal-Isqof ta’ Ruma, li hu l-Papa. Din il-knisja hi l-omm u r-ras tal-knejjes kollha f’Ruma u fid-dinja… Read more »
Ġesù qiegħed fit-tempju, u jitkellem fuq tempju ieħor. L-Evanġelju stess jispjegalna li kien qed jitkellem fuq it-tempju tal-ġisem tiegħu. Jgħidilhom: “Ħottu dan it-tempju u fi tlitt ijiem nerġa’ ntellgħu” (Ġw 2:19).
Hekk kien jiġri mill-kapijiet u l-awtoritajiet politiċi ta’ dak iż-żmien – min minħabba l-għira u min minħabba l-biża’ li jiddeċiedu li jeliminawh – iħottu t-tempju li kien il-ġisem għażiż tiegħu. Il-Missier b’risposta għall-vjolenza tagħhom lil ibnu jqajmu mill-imwiet: “Ħottu dan it-tempju, u fi tlitt ijiem nerġa’ ntellgħu.”
Qegħdin f’tempju sabiħ, il-Konkatidral ta’ San Ġwann, li nbena bħala l-knisja konventwali tal-Ordni ta’ San Ġwann u li ġie kkonsagrat fi żmienu… Read more »

Archbishop Charles Scicluna yesterday met with some of the women and children residing at Il-Milja, Fondazzjoni Sebħ’s second-stage shelter for women and children escaping violence, after celebrating mass with them.
“When I had the privilege to greet some of the residents today, there are two phrases that remain with me: ‘I am at peace’ and ‘I feel safe’. Listening to them, it is very gratifying, and I am really grateful because I have a direct witness of the extraordinary effect of this initiative, of the fact that Il-Milja is a safe haven.”
The Archbishop added: “I would also like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to Bernice Cassar, and so many other victims of violence who did not make it, to be able to get the wholeness and healing that people get here.”
After meeting the residents and the employees who support them, the Arcbishop inaugurated the Secret Garden at Il-Milja… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Nissuġġerilkom li taħsbu ftit fuq din il-frażi qawwija u sabiħa ta’ Ġesù, li twegħidna il-preżenza tiegħu. “Fejn tnejn jew tlieta jkunu miġbura f’ismi hemm inkun jien f’nofshom” (Mt 18:20). Xi tfisser li tkun miġbur f’isem Ġesù?
Li inti tagħżel, għax trid u b’għarfien sħiħ, il-mod kif jaħseb u jħobb Ġesù. Li inti tgħix f’isem Ġesù jfisser li tgħix kif għex hu; li qabel kull ħsieb tiegħek, qabel kull kelma tiegħek, qabel kull azzjoni tiegħek, issaqsi lilek innifsek: ‘F’dawn iċ-ċirkostanzi Ġesù x’kien jagħmel?’
Ġesù għadda fostna jgħallem u jfejjaq… Read more »
