He spoke to them another parable… Read more »
Message by Pope Leo XIV
Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!
At the heart of Jesus’ teachings lies the mystery of the Kingdom of God, which today’s Gospel likens to treasure and a pearl (cf. Mt 13:44–52). The parables convey the surprise of those who find something far beyond what they could have hoped for, so much so that selling or leaving everything behind no longer seems a sacrifice, but a gain… Read more »

Dear brothers and sisters,
Through the prophet Isaiah, the Lord promises that he will never forget any of us. He assures us that he has engraved our faces on the palms of his hands (cf. Is 49:16) and that his love is greater than a mother’s love for her child (cf. Is 49:15)… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Min jibqa’ jżomm sħiħ sal-aħħar, dan isalva” (Mattew 10:22). Dan il-kliem ta’ Ġesu jgħid dak kollu li nistgħu ngħidu fuq San Kalċedonju – martri li baqa’ sħiħ sal-aħħar. Aħna llum qegħdin niċċelebraw il-festa tiegħu f’dan il-post qaddis fejn jinsabu l-fdalijiet tiegħu. Il-fdalijiet tal-qaddisin ifakkruna li l-qdusija mhijiex idea astratta, imma realtà li tgħix fil-laħam u d-demm. Il-ġisem li jinsab hawn kien ta’ dixxiplu li ħabb lil Ġesù sal-aħħar… Read more »
