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,

Saint Matthew, apostle & evangelist – Feast
Readings of the day
First Reading: Ephesians 4:1-7,11-13
Responsorial: PS 18:2-5
Gospel: Matthew 9:9-13
In those days, as Jesus was walking along, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth; and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him. And as he sat at dinner in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came and were sitting with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” But when he heard this, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have come to call not the righteous but sinners.” Read more »

Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!
In today’s liturgy, through the words of the prophet Isaiah, the Lord gives us great cause for hope, telling us that his thoughts are not our thoughts, that his ways are not our ways (cf. Is 55:8). Yes, God’s plans are infinitely greater — and, let us say, more “human”— than those that we men and women, marked by sin, can conceive or bring to fruition… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
L-Ewwel Qari jippreparana ftit għas-sorpriża ta’ din il-parabbola ta’ Ġesù: “Il-fehmiet tiegħi m’humiex fehmietkom, u t-triqat tiegħi m’humiex triqatkom” (Is 55:8). Donnu l-Mulej qiegħed jgħidilna, nifhem li intom tħobbu tkejlu, b’mod speċjali meta tqabblu lilkom infuskom mal-oħrajn, hija tendenza fina. Imma l-Profeta Isaija, jgħinna nifhmu s-sorpriża tal-istorja tal-Parabbola ta’ Ġesù, billi jinsisti: “daqskemm huma ogħla s-smewwiet mill-art, daqshekk ieħor huma triqati ‘l fuq minn triqatkom, u l-fehmiet tiegħi mill-fehmiet tagħkom” (Is 55:9)… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Hija tassew speċjali li niċċelebraw, din is-sena, it-tmien mitt anniversarju mill-mewt ta’ San Franġisk ta’ Assisi fl-1226. Tmien mitt sena minn meta hu għadda minn din id-dinja għal għand il-Mulej. U madankollu, wara tmien sekli, ismu għadu ħaj, il-ħajja tiegħu għadha tkellimna, u l-messaġġ tiegħu għadu jolqot il-qalb tal-bniedem tal-lum. U l-mistoqsija li għandna nagħmlu llum hija: x’jgħidilna San Franġisk illum? … Read more »

Il-messaġġ tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Aħna u nilqgħu fostna dawn it-tliet membri ġodda tal-Kapitlu tal-Katidral niftakru fil-kliem ta’ Ġesù lid-dixxippli tiegħu li jistedinhom għall-għaqda u għall-imħabba.
Għeżież Monsinjuri ġodda, jiena nawguralkom li s-servizz tagħkom bħala membri sħaħ tal-Kapitlu tal-Katidral ikun xhieda ta’ fraternità saċerdotali mibni fuq il-verità, fuq l-imħabba, imma fuq kollox fid-disponibilità li niddjalogaw għall-ġid tal-Knisja f’Malta… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Kellu miegħu t-tnax u xi nisa” (Lq 8:1-2). Dan hu l-kwadru li jippreżentalna l-Evanġelju llum ta’ Ġesù, huwa u jdur l-ibliet u l-irħula, jippriedka u jxandar l-Evanġelju tas-Saltna ta’ Alla. U mal-ewwel tolqotna l-enfasi li jagħmel San Luqa li, flimkien mat-tnax, kien hemm fost id-dixxipli wkoll xi nisa – li hawnhekk isemmi l-isem ta’ xi wħud minnhom, bħal Marija ta’ Magdala, Ġwanna u Susanna, u ħafna oħrajn… Read more »
