San Luqa 24:13-35
Dakinhar stess ġara li tnejn minnhom kienu sejrin lejn raħal jismu Għemmaws, xi sittin stadju bogħod minn Ġerusalemm, jitħaddtu bejniethom fuq kull ma kien ġara. Huma u jitħaddtu u jitkixxfu bejniethom, Ġesù nnifsu resaq lejhom u baqa’ miexi magħhom. Imma għajnejhom kellhom xi jżommhom u ma setgħux jagħrfuh.
U hu qalilhom: “X’intom tgħidu bejnietkom intom u miexja?” U huma waqfu, b’ħarsa ta’ niket fuq wiċċhom…

I would like to share a very short reflection inspired by today’s prayer and readings…
On Easter Monday Pope Francis greeted pilgrims and visitors gathered in St Peter’s Square, praying especially for Christians who are persecuted for their faith.
Speaking from the window of the Apostolic Palace before the recitation of the Regina Coeli midday prayer, the Pope said the day’s liturgy echoes the great cry of Easter Sunday, ‘Christ is Risen, Hallelujah!’
We hear the words of the angel to the women at the tomb, saying ‘Go quickly and tell his disciples, he has been raised from the dead.”
Those words are directed at us too, the Pope said, inviting us to go quickly and proclaim this message of joy and hope to the women and men of our day…

San Ġwann 20:11-18
Iżda Marija baqgħet ‘il barra mill-qabar, tibki. Kif kienet qiegħda tibki, tbaxxiet lejn il-qabar, u rat żewġ anġli lebsin l-abjad, bilqiegħda, wieħed in-naħa tar-ras u l-ieħor in-naħa tar-riġlejn fejn kienu qiegħdu l-ġisem ta’ Ġesù. Huma qalulha: “Mara, għalfejn qiegħda tibki?” Hi wieġbet: “Għax ħadu lil Sidi, u ma nafux fejn qegħduh.”
Kif qalet hekk, daret lura u rat lil Ġesù wieqaf, iżda ma ntebħitx li kien Ġesù…

San Mattew 28:8-15
Marija ta’ Magdala u Marija l-oħra telqu malajr minn ħdejn il-qabar, kollhom biża’ u ferħ kbir, u marru jiġru jagħtu l-aħbar lid-dixxipli tiegħu. U ara, ltaqa’ magħhom Ġesù u qalilhom: “Is-sliem għalikom.” Huma resqu lejh, qabdulu riġlejh u nxteħtu quddiemu. Imbagħad Ġesù qalilhom: “Tibżgħu xejn; morru wasslu l-aħbar lil ħuti biex jitilqu lejn il-Galilija; lili jarawni hemmhekk.”
Huma u sejrin, xi wħud mill-għases marru l-belt għand il-qassisin il-kbar u tawhom l-aħbar ta’ kull ma kien ġara…
On Easter Sunday morning Pope Francis presided over Mass in St Peter’s Square festooned for the occasion with colourful tulips from Holland.
Breaking with tradition the Pope gave an off the cuff homily encouraging Christians to keep the faith despite the wars, sickness and hatred in the world.

“Inħasset theżżiża kbira għax niżel anġlu tal-Mulej mis-sema, u resaq igerbeb il-ġebla u qagħad bilqiegħda fuqha” (Mt 28, 2)…
The first image that comes to mind on Easter Sunday, is that of an open door to an empty tomb. We are in a garden, very close to a small hill which was used as the execution venue for slaves and Jews. On that hill, a carpenter from Nazareth, a man by the name of Jesus, was crucified. There were with him two thieves…
