Pope at Angelus: Love for God must overflow into love for others

25/10/2026   St Peter's Square, the Vatican

Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!

In today’s Gospel, the Lord once again leads us to the heart of our faith (cf. Mt 22:34–40). A teacher of the Law, seeking to test Jesus, asks him, “Which commandment in the law is the greatest?” (v. 36). The Teacher responds by quoting a passage from Deuteronomy: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind” (v.37; cf… Read more »

Love for our neighbour has neither labels nor colours – The Archbishop

Mass on the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time

25/10/2026   Parish Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Gżira

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

L-Evanġelju jintroduċi żewġ kategoriji mit-tmexxija reliġjuża ta’ żmien Ġesù: il-Fariżej u s-Saduċej. Dawn kienu kategoriji ta’ nies għorrief. Il-Fariżej kienu l-esperti fil-liġi, filwaqt li s-Saduċej kienu nies għorrief, iżda ma kinux jemmnu fil-ħajja ta’ dejjem. Għalihom, il-ħajja tispiċċa mal-mewt. U ladarba tispiċċa mal-mewt, ara x’tagħmel biex tgawdiha kemm jista’ jkun.

L-Evanġelju jgħidilna li Ġesù sadd ħalq is-Saduċej, li ma kinux jemmnu fil-ħajja ta’ dejjem, u wriehom li l-qawwa ta’ Alla hija l-qawwa ta’ Alla ħaj, li jagħtina wkoll futur lil hinn mill-mewt… Read more »

Judging what is right – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

23/10/2026   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Għala ma tiġġudikawx intom stess x’inhu s-sewwa?” (Lq 12:57). Dan hu li jgħid Ġesù llum fl-Evanġelju, hu u jkellem lin-nies, u jista’ jkun li f’moħħna tiġina din il-mistoqsija: hawn Ġesù qed jgħidilhom lin-nies biex jiġġudikaw, imma Ġesù ma kienx hu stess li qalilna “tiġġudikawx” (Mt 7:1)? Fil-fatt hi l-istess kelma fl-oriġinal bil-Grieg. Kif jgħidilna “tiġġudikawx”, u hawn jgħid li għandna niġġudikaw? … Read more »
