First Reading: Acts 20:17-27
Psalm: 67 (68):10-11,20-21
Gospel: John 17:1-11a
In those days, Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over all people, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him.
And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I glorified you on earth by finishing the work that you gave me to do. So now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had in your presence before the world existed. “I have made your name known to those whom you gave me from the world… Read more »
Walking on the victorious path – Bishop Galea‑Curmi
18/05/2026 The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa, Archbishop's Curia, Floriana
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Fid-dinja tbatu jkollkom” (Ġw 16:33). Dan hu li jgħid Ġesù lid-dixxipli tiegħu fl-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann. Hawnhekk qiegħed jitkellem fl-Aħħar Ċena, fl-aħħar parti tad-diskors tiegħu, u lid-dixxipli jgħidilhom li se jkollhom ibatu. Mhijiex komuni li xi ħadd jgħid lil dawk li jsegwuh: se jkollkom tbatu. Imma Ġesù dejjem ninnutaw li jgħid mhux dak li d-dixxipli jixtiequ jisimgħu, imma dak li għandhom jisimgħu… Read more »
Joy that lasts – Bishop Galea‑Curmi
15/05/2026 The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa, Archbishop's Curia, Floriana
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Il-ferħ tagħkom ħadd ma jeħodhulkom” (Ġw 16:22). Dan huwa l-kliem ta’ Ġesù fl-aħħar ta’ din is-silta, hu u jkellem lid-dixxipli tiegħu. Imma, qabel ma wasal għal dan, qalilhom affarijiet oħra. Ġesù qalilhom l-ewwel nett: “Intom għad tibku u tingħu” (Ġw 16:20). Imbagħad qalilhom: “In-niket tagħkom għad jitbiddel f’hena, u l-ferħ tagħkom ħadd ma jeħodhulkom” (Ġw 16:22).
Hawn Ġesù qiegħed fl-Aħħar Ċena mad-dixxipli, u jolqtok kif Ġesù jitkellem fuq dan kollu meta hu qed jara minn xiex se jgħaddi, u wkoll minn xiex se jgħaddu d-dixxipli tiegħu… Read more »
