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,
come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

Responsorial: Psalm 5:5-6,7,12
Gospel: Luke 6:6-11
On a certain sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and taught, and there was a man there whose right hand was withered. The scribes and the Pharisees watched him closely to see if he would cure on the sabbath so that they might discover a reason to accuse him… Read more »
Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!
The word of God proclaimed in this Sunday’s liturgy offers us some fundamental criteria for thought and action. In the Letter to the Romans, we read that every commandment is “summed up in this word, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’” (Rom 13:9). Saint Paul insists on this point with a very powerful image, one that also appears in the Lord’s Prayer. He writes: “Owe no one anything, except to love one another” (v… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Mur sibu waħdu” (Mt 18:15). Dan hu kliem Ġesù jgħid fl-Evanġelju tal-lum. Hu jitkellem dwar ir-relazzjonijiet, ir-rikonċiljazzjoni, ir-responsabbiltà u l-komunità. Ġesù jagħti lid-dixxipli tiegħu gwida prattika dwar x’għandhom jagħmlu meta ħuhom jew oħthom jitbiegħdu mit-triq it-tajba. Ifakkarna li ħadd m’għandu sempliċement jiġi abbandunat, ikkundannat jew imwarrab. Minflok, aħna msejħin nersqu lejn xulxin, nisimgħu, nakkumpanjaw, nikkoreġu bl-imħabba, u nfittxu r-rikonċiljazzjoni.
Nieħdu ħsieb xulxin
Fil-qalba ta’ dan l-Evanġelju hemm messaġġ importanti ħafna: aħna ta’ xulxin… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Illum niċċelebraw bil-ferħ il-Festa tal-Madonna tal-Providenza. B’qalbna nduru lejn Marija, Omm Ġesù, u nagħtuha qima bħala l-mara li kellha fiduċja sħiħa fil-ħarsien kollu mħabba ta’ Alla. F’Marija naraw Omm li timxi magħna, tfarraġna, u bil-ħlewwa twassalna għand il-Mulej li jipprovdi, jiggwida u qatt ma jabbanduna lil uliedu.
L-Evanġelju tal-lum, mal-ewwel daqqa t’għajn, jista’ jidher li qed jitkellem fuq xi ħaġa differenti… Read more »

Readings of the day
First Reading: Ezekiel 33:7-9
Responsorial: Psalm 94 (95):1-2,6-7,8-9
Second Reading: Romans 13:8-10
Gospel: Matthew 18:15-20
Jesus said to his disciples: “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that ‘every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“L-għarus”. Ġesù, f’din is-silta mill-Evanġelju, iqabbel lilu nnifsu mal-għarus. Meta l-Fariżej u l-kittieba bdew jilmentaw li d-dixxipli tiegħu “jieklu u jixorbu” (Lq 5:33), filwaqt li ta’ Ġwanni “jsumu u joqogħdu jitolbu” (Lq 5:33), u tal-Fariżej ukoll, Ġesù qalilhom: “Tistgħu ġġagħlu lill-ħbieb tal-għarus isumu sakemm l-għarus ikun għadu magħhom?” (Lq 5:34).
Aħna forsi, meta nisimgħu dil-kelma, ma nifhmux il-qawwa tagħha f’dak iż-żmien… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Il-ħruġ tal-vara tal-Madonna tal-Grazzja min-niċċa hi ġrajja sabiħa. Aħna llum inħarsu lejn din ix-xbieha tal-Madonna bil-fidi, bil-gratitudni, bit-talb tagħna, u bit-tamiet tagħna. Niġu bħala wlied li jafu li għandhom Omm li tisma’, li tinterċedi għalihom, u li dejjem twassalhom lejn Binha Ġesù.
Illum, iżda, iċ-ċelebrazzjoni tagħna hawnhekk f’din il-parroċċa hija marbuta ma’ okkażjoni partikulari: bħal-lbieraħ 75 sena ilu, saret l-Inkurunazzjoni tal-kwadru titulari, xogħol Alessio Erardi… Read more »
