Cycle of Catechesis – Jubilee 2025. Jesus Christ our Hope. III. The Passover of Jesus. 2. The betrayal. “Surely it is not I?” (Mk 14,19)
Dear brothers and sisters,
Let us continue our journey in the school of the Gospel, following Jesus’ steps in the final days of his life. Today we will pause at an intimate, dramatic, yet also profoundly true scene: the moment at which, during the Passover supper, Jesus reveals that one of the Twelve is about to betray him: “Amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me” (Mk 14:18)… Read more »

Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!
In today’s Gospel Jesus invites us to consider how we will invest the treasure that is our life (cf. Lk 12:32-48). He says: “Sell your possessions and give alms” (v. 33).
He exhorts us not to keep to ourselves the gifts that God has given us, but rather to use them generously for the good of others, especially those most in need of our help… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Hemm kelma moderna – anzi, nistgħu ngħidu kelma li saret tal-moda – imma fil-verità hi antika ħafna. Ġesù jitkellem fuq dak li llum insejħulu accountability, jew il-kontabbiltà.

It is a story of fear, power, and cruelty – and of the innocent caught in the crossfire of a tyrant’s ambitions.
In the last months, the world has witnessed a chilling horror in Gaza, where thousands of innocent lives – many of them children – have been brutally extinguished… Read more »
