First Readingi: 1 Samuel 1:1-8
Psalm: 115 (116):12-13,14-17,18-19
Gospel: Mark 1:14-20
Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.” As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, “Follow me and I will make you fish for people.” And immediately they left their nets and followed him.
As he went a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John, who were in their boat mending the nets. Immediately he called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and followed him. Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Ġesù jinsisti li Ġwanni għandu bżonn jgħammed lilu wkoll. Mhux għax għandu xi dnub li hemm bżonn jinħasel imma għaliex kif jgħid hu stess: “hekk jixraq biex intemmu s-sewwa kollu” (Mt 3:15). Għandu bżonn, fi kliem ieħor, jagħtina xhieda ta’ kemm Alla huwa fidil fil-kelma tiegħu, kemm hu ħanin u kemm iħobbna. Għax f’dawn l-affarijiet sbieħ jinġabar is-sewwa kif jarah Alla: is-solidarjetà, il-ħniena, il-faraġ… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Ix-xena, nafuha tajjeb u f’dan il-post għandha sinifikat speċjali għax jekk tħarsu wara l-artal hemm l-iskultura straordinarja fl-irħam abjad sabiħ tal-Mazzuolo, il-magħmudija ta’ Ġesù minn Ġwanni l-Battista. Din hija l-festa divina li qed nagħmlu llum, il-festa proprju ta’ bejn iż-żewġ protagonisti f’dan il-katidral iddedikat lil San Ġwann il-Battista. Aħna ngħidulu l-Battista għax għammed lil Ġesù.
Ġwanni, it-tifel ta’ Żakkarija u Eliżabetta, li jgħammed lil Ġesù proprju kif jibda l-missjoni tiegħu l-Imgħallem tagħna… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Mar u nxteħet wiċċ fl-art quddiemu, jitolbu” (Lq 5:12). Hekk naqraw fl-Evanġelju skont San Luqa fuq ir-raġel marid bil-lebbra li, kif induna li Ġesù kien hemmhekk fil-belt, mar quddiemu, u nxteħet quddiemu jagħmillu dik it-talba: “Mulej, jekk trid, tista’ tfejjaqni” (Lq 5:12) Ħa nħarsu lejn din il-ġrajja, kemm lejn dan il-marid bil-lebbra kif ukoll lejn Ġesù, għax hemm ħafna x’nitgħallmu għall-ħajja tagħna f’din il-ġrajja… Read more »
