Gospel: Matthew 20:1-16a
Jesus told his disciples this parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out at dawn to hire labourers for his vineyard. After agreeing with them for the usual daily wage, he sent them into his vineyard. Going out about nine o’clock, he saw others standing idle in the marketplace, and he said to them, ‘You too go into my vineyard, and I will give you what is just.’ So they went off… Read more »

Readings of the day
First Reading: Ezekiel 28:1-10
Responsorial: Deuteronomy 32:26-27ab,27cd-28,30,35cd-36ab
Gospel: Matthew 19:23-30
Jesus said to his disciples: “Amen, I say to you, it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and said, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “For human beings this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.” Then Peter said to him in reply, “We have given up everything and followed you… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Jista’ wieħed jitlaq lil martu fuq xi ħaġa, tkun xi tkun?” (Mt 19:3). Din hija d-domanda li għamlu l-Fariżej lil Ġesù, kif naqraw fl-Evanġelju skont San Mattew, u din hija domanda li dak iż-żmien kienu jagħmluha għaliex kien hemm ideat differenti fost il-Lhud. Kien hemm min jgħid: iva, anke għal xi ħaġa żgħira, tista’ titlaq lil martek. U kien hemm min jgħid: le, għal xi ħaġa żgħira le, imma għal xi ħaġa kbira tista’ titlaq lil martek… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Telaq b’qalbu sewda” (Mt 19:22). Kemm tolqtok din li dan iż-żagħżugħ li ltaqa’ ma’ Ġesù, wara djalogu miegħu, jitlaq lura b’qalbu sewda! Mhix normali, għax in-nies meta ltaqgħu ma’ Ġesù, anke l-iktar nies li kienu batuti jew li kienu mbiegħda, midinbin, meta ltaqgħu ma’ Ġesù, ġabilhom il-paċi fil-qalb u telqu ferħana, telqu ħielsa.
Għaliex dan “telaq b’qalbu sewda”? Ħa nħarsu ftit lejn dan id-djalogu tiegħu ma’ Ġesù li, biex ngħid hekk, hu maqsum fi tnejn… Read more »

First Reading: Ezekiel 24:15-24
Responsorial: Deuteronomy 32:18-19,20,21
Gospel: Matthew 19:16-22
A young man approached Jesus and said, “Teacher, what good must I do to gain eternal life?” He answered him, “Why do you ask me about the good? There is only One who is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.” He asked him, “Which ones?” And Jesus replied, “‘You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; honour your father and your mother’; and ‘you shall love your neighbour as yourself.’”
The young man said to him, “All of these I have observed… Read more »
