San Luqa 24:35-48
U huma wkoll tarrfulhom x’kien ġralhom fit-triq, u kif kienu għarfuh fil-qsim tal-ħobż. Kif kienu għadhom jitkellmu, Ġesù nnifsu waqaf f’nofshom u qalilhom: “Is-sliem għalikom!” Huma twerwru bil-biża’ għax ħasbu li qegħdin jaraw xi fantażma. Iżda hu qalilhom: “Għaliex tħawwadtu? Għaliex dan it-tħassib kollu f’qalbkom? Araw idejja u riġlejja. Jiena hu! Missuni, u ifhmuha li l-ispirtu ma għandux laħam u għadam bħalma qegħdin taraw li għandi jien.” Huwa u jgħidilhom dan, uriehom idejh u riġlejh. Iżda billi huma, fil-ferħ tagħhom, kienu għadhom ma jridux jemmnu u baqgħu mistagħġba, qalilhom: “Għandkom xi ħaġa ta’ l-ikel hawn?” Huma ressqulu quddiemu biċċa ħuta mixwija, u hu ħadha u kielha quddiemhom…

The Pope Emeritus, Benedict XVI marked his 88th birthday on Thursday (April 16th) with a Bavarian-style celebration. He received birthday greetings from a group of Gebirgsschutzen (mountain protection units) from his native Bavaria, dressed in traditional costumes. Among those present to celebrate his birthday were his older brother Monsignor Georg Ratzinger and the Prefect of the Pontifical Household, Archbishop George Ganswein.

San Ġwann 6:1-15
Wara dan, Ġesù telaq lejn in-naħa l-oħra tal-baħar tal-Galilija, jew ta’ Tiberija. Ħafna nies marru warajh, għax raw is-sinjali li kien jagħmel bil-fejqan tal-morda. Ġesù tela’ lejn l-għoljiet u qagħad hemm bilqiegħda mad-dixxipli tiegħu. Kien qrib l-Għid, il-festa tal-Lhud. Ġesù rafa’ għajnejh, lemaħ kotra ta’ nies ġejja lejh, u qal lil Filippu: “Mnejn nixtru l-ħobż biex dawn ikollhom x’jieklu?” Dan qalulu biex jippruvah, għaliex hu kien jaf x’sejjer jagħmel. Filippu wieġbu: “Mitejn dinar ħobż ma jkunux biżżejjed għalihom biex kull wieħed minnhom jieħu xi ftit.” Wieħed mid-dixxipli tiegħu, Indrì, ħu Xmun Pietru, qallu:”Hawn tfajjel li għandu ħames ħobżiet tax-xgħir u żewġ ħutiet żgħar; imma dawn x’inhuma għal daqshekk nies?” “Qiegħdu n-nies bilqiegħda,” qal Ġesù…
