As he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him and said, “By what authority are you doing these things? Who gave you this authority to do them?” Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. Did the baptism of John come from heaven, or was it of human origin? … Read more »

Readings of the day
First Reading: Genesis 22:9-18 or Hebrews 10:4-10
Psalm: 39 (40):7-8a,10-11b,17
Gospel: Matthew 26:36-42
Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, ‘Sit here while I go over there and pray.’
He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and agitated. Then he said to them, ‘I am deeply grieved, even to death; remain here, and stay awake with me.’
And going a little farther, he threw himself on the ground and prayed, ‘My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet not what I want but what you want.’
Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, ‘So, could you not stay awake with me one hour? Stay awake and pray that you may not come into the time of trial; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.’
Again he went away for the second time and prayed, ‘My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done.’ Read more »

Naħseb li għenuna biex nirriflettu fuq dak li tfisser il-Knisja fil-qalba tagħha, għaliex il-Knisja mhijiex l-ewwelnett istituzzjoni, organizzazzjoni jew struttura waħedha, imma hija komunjoni mwielda mill-ħajja stess tat-Trinità Qaddisa… Read more »
Catechesis. The Documents of the Second Vatican Council. III. Constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium. 2. The reform of the liturgy: tradition and development
Dear brothers and sisters, good morning and welcome!
In the Encyclical Mediator Dei, the Venerable Pius XII writes that “the Church is without question a living organism, and as an organism, in respect of the sacred liturgy also, she grows, matures, develops, adapts and accommodates herself to temporal needs and circumstances, provided only that the integrity of her doctrine be safeguarded” (no… Read more »
