- San Mark 1: 40-45
  
  Resaq fuqu wieħed lebbruż jitolbu bil-ħerqa, nxteħet għarkubbtejh quddiemu u qallu: “Jekk trid, tista’ tfejjaqni.” Mqanqal mill-ħniena, Ġesù medd idu fuqu, messu u qallu: “Irrid, kun imnaddaf.” U minnufih il-lebbra marritlu u ġismu ndaf. U widdbu bis-sħiħ, bagħtu malajr u qallu: “Qis li ma tgħid xejn lil ħadd; iżda mur uri ruħek lill-qassis, u agħmel offerta għall-fejqan tiegħek kif ordna Mosè, biex tkunilhom ta’ xhieda.” Iżda dak, meta telaq, beda jxandar ma’ kullimkien u jxerred l-aħbar, hekk li Ġesù f’ebda belt ma sata’ iżjed jidħol bid-dieher, imma kien jibqa’ barra fil-kampanja u kienu jmorru ħdejh nies minn kullimkien…

Għeżież ħuti Nsara,

Fil-bidu ta’ dan ir-Randan Imqaddes tas-sena 2015, u bi preparazzjoni għall-mixja li ser nagħmlu f’dan iż-żmien, xtaqt inwassal messaġġ qasir lil kull wieħed u waħda minnkom.

Darba minnhom, il-Fariżej u l-kittieba staqsew lil Ġesù għaliex id-dixxipli tiegħu ma kinux qed isumu…

San Luqa 10: 1-9 Wara dan, il-Mulej għażel tnejn u sebgħin oħra u bagħathom tnejn tnejn qablu f’kull belt u post fejn kien se jmur hu. U qalilhom: “Il-ħsad huwa kbir, imma l-ħaddiema ftit. Itolbu mela lil Sid il-ħsad biex jibgħat ħaddiema għall-ħsad tiegħu. Morru! Araw, qiegħed nibgħatkom bħal ħrief qalb l-ilpup. Teħdux magħkom la but, la ħorġa u lanqas qrieq, u fit-triq issellmu lil ħadd. Fid-dar fejn tidħlu, l-ewwel għidu, ‘Is-sliem lil din id-dar.’ U jekk fiha jkun hemm min iħobb is-sliem, jistrieħ is-sliem tagħkom fuqu; jekk le, it-tislima tagħkom terġa’ lura għandkom…

A total of 165 cardinals participated in yesterday’s first session of the Extraordinary Consistory with the Holy Father. Twenty-five were unable to attend due to illness or other serious problems, according to a report from the director of the Holy See Press Office, Fr. Federico Lombardi, S.J., following the morning meeting.

Cardinal Oscar Andres Rodriguez Maradiaga explained that the meeting of the Council of Cardinals (the so-called “C9”) which came to an end on Wednesday afternoon, focused primarily but not exclusively on the reform of the Curia; other themes addressed were the regulation of the Synod, the work of the Commission for the Protection of Minors, and relations with the economic entities of the Holy See (COSEA and IOR)…

- San Mark 7: 31-37
  
  Raġa’ telaq mill-inħawi tal-belt ta’ Tir, għadda minn Sidon lejn il-baħar tal-Galilija, fl-inħawi tad-Dekapoli. U ġibulu wieħed, trux u mbikkem, u talbuh iqegħedlu idu fuqu. Ġesù ħarġu għalih waħdu minn qalb in-nies, daħħal subgħajh f’widnejh u messlu lsienu bir-riq tiegħu. Mbagħad refa’ għajnejh lejn is-sema, tniehed tnehida, u qallu: “Effata,” jiġifieri, “Infetaħ!” U minnufih widnejh infetħulu, l-irbit ta’ lsienu nħallu u qabad jitkellem sewwa…

Pope Francis has appealed for solidarity and aid for migrants who cross the Mediterranean Sea in search of refuge.

His call for increased attention and aid follows news of the death of over 300 migrants who have drowned or died of hypothermia in the latest deadly tragedy of the sea.

In his appeal at the end of the weekly General Audience, the Pope said he is “following with preoccupation news from Lampedusa where there have been more deaths amongst the migrants caused by cold during their journey across the Mediterranean”…

San Mark 7: 24-30

Minn hemmhekk telaq u mar fl-inħawi tal-belt ta’ Tir. Daħal joqgħod f’dar, u ried li ħadd ma jsir jaf. Iżda ma setax ikun li jinħeba, għax malajr semgħet bih waħda mara li kellha lil bintha maħkuma minn spirtu ħażin, u marret tinxteħet f’riġlejh. Issa din il-mara kienet Griega, Sirofeniċja min-nisel tagħha. Bdiet mela titolbu biex ikeċċi x-xitan minn ġo bintha…
