Mass on the 11th Sunday Ordinary Time

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Hemm kelma partikulari fl-Evanġelju tal-lum li turina xi ħaġa speċjali ħafna f’Ġesù. L-Evanġelju jgħid: “Ra n-nies u tħassarhom, għax kienu mdejqa u mitluqa qishom nagħaġ bla ragħaj” (Mt 9:36). Dil-kelma hi: “tħassarhom”. Bil-Malti, aħna ngħidu “titħassar” meta tara lil xi ħadd u jiddispjaċik għalih, tħoss simpatija għalih. Imma fil-fatt il-kelma kif inhi fl-Evanġelju hi ħafna aktar qawwija milli sempliċiment għax tarah, u titnikket, jew tħoss għalih… Read more »

The Pope: God’s grace is freely given and must be shared

14/06/2026   St Peter's Square, the Vatican

Dear brothers and sisters, Happy Sunday!

Today’s Gospel (Mt 9:36–10:8) brings us a great gift, for it draws all who hear it into Jesus’ gaze: it is a story that bears witness to the attentiveness of this gaze, as well as telling us what the Lord sees. We read, in fact, that Christ “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless” (v… Read more »
