Priests renew their consecration of their priestly vows to God, and to the bishop, in the presence of their colleague priests and laity as well during the CHRISM MASS on HOLY THURSDAY morning.

The Bishop of every diocese in the Catholic Church, blesses the three Oils -
- Oil of the Sick is used for those who seek anointing - (oleum infirmorum)
- Oil of Catechumens for the Sacrament of Baptism - (oleum catechumenorum or oleum sanctorum)
- The Holy Chrism Oil (sacrum chrisma) used at the ordination of priests and bishops, and at baptisms, confirmations and the consecration of altars and blessing of churches, is “consecrated.”

These will be used in the administration of the sacraments throughout the diocese for the year.

HOLY THURSDAY MORNING GOSPEL --- Lk 4:16-21 -- Jesus at Nazareth - L-Ispirtu tal-Mulej fuqi, għax hu kkonsagrani

L-Evanġelju
L-Ispirtu tal-Mulej fuqi, għax hu kkonsagrani.
Lq 4, 16-21

Qari mill-Evanġelju skont San Luqa

F’dak iż-żmien, [Lq:4:16] Ġesù ġie f'Nazaret fejn kien trabba. Daħal fis-sinagoga tagħhom, kif kien imdorri jagħmel nhar ta' Sibt, u qam biex jaqra.[Lq:4:17] Tawh f'idejh il-ktieb ta' Isaija l-profeta, fetħu u sab fejn kien hemm miktub dan li ġej:
        [Lq:4:18] 'L-Ispirtu tal-Mulej fuqi,
        għax hu kkonsagrani,
        Bagħatni nħabbar il-ħelsien lill-imjassrin,
        nwassal il-bxara t-tajba lill-fqajrin,
        u d-dawl mill-ġdid lill-għomja,
        nrodd il-ħelsien lill-maħqurin
        [Lq:4:19] u nxandar sena tal-grazzja tal-Mulej.'

[Lq:4:20] Mbagħad raġa' għalaq il-ktieb, tah lura lill-qaddej u qagħad bilqiegħda. Għajnejn kulħadd fis-sinagoga kienu msammra fuqu. [Lq:4:21] U beda jgħidilhom: "Din il-kitba seħħet illum, intom u tisimgħu."

Il-Kelma tal-Mulej
R/. Tifħir lilek Kristu

A Prayer for Holy Thursday

O Lord Jesus, in order that the merits of your sacrifice on the Cross might be applied to every soul of all time, you willed that it should be renewed upon the altar.

At the Last Supper, you said: "Do this in remembrance of me." By these words you gave your apostles and their successors the power to consecrate and to the command to do what you yourself did.

The Mass is both a sacrifice and a memorial, re-enacting your passion, death and resurrection. Help me to understand that the Mass is the greatest gift of God to us and our greatest gift to God.

Amen

HOLY THURDAY EVENING (THE HOLY MASS OF THE LORD'S SUPPER) GOSPEL --- Jn 13:1-15 -- Jesus Washes His Disciples' Feet - Ħabbhom għall-aħħar.

Evanġelju
Ħabbhom għall-aħħar.
Ġw 13, 1-15

Qari mill-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann

[Ġw:13:1] Qabel il-festa ta' l-Għid, billi kien jaf Ġesù li waslet is-siegħa tiegħu biex jgħaddi minn din id-dinja għal għand il-Missier, hu, li kien ħabb lil tiegħu li kienu fid-dinja, ħabbhom għall-aħħar.

[Ġw:13:2] Kienu qegħdin għall-ikel. Ix-Xitan kien ġa webbel lil Ġuda ta' Xmun l-Iskarjota u daħħallu f'rasu li jittradih. [Ġw:13:3] Ġesù kien jaf li l-Missier tah kollox f'idejh, u li hu kien ġie mingħand Alla u kien sejjer għand Alla. [Ġw:13:4] Qam minn fuq il-mejda, neħħa l-mantar minn fuqu, ħa fardal u rabtu ma' qaddu. [Ġw:13:5] Mbagħad ferragħ l-ilma fil-lenbija, u beda jaħsel saqajn id-dixxipli u jixxuttahomlhom bil-fardal li kellu ma' qaddu.

[Ġw:13:6] Mela wasal fuq Xmun Pietru, u dan qallu: "Int, Mulej, taħsilli saqajja?" [Ġw:13:7] Ġesù wieġbu: "Int għalissa ma tafx x'qiegħed nagħmel jien; tifhmu aktar 'il quddiem." [Ġw:13:8] Qallu Pietru: "Ma jkun qatt li inti taħsilli saqajja!" Wieġbu Ġesù: "Jekk ma naħsillekx saqajk, ma jkollokx x'taqsam miegħi." [Ġw:13:9] Qallu Xmun Pietru: "Mulej, mhux saqajja biss, imma idejja u rasi wkoll." [Ġw:13:10] Qallu Ġesù: "Min hu maħsul, ma għandux għalfejn jinħasel kollu, ħlief saqajh, għax hu kollu kemm hu nadif, u intom indaf, imma mhux ilkoll." [Ġw:13:11] Għax hu kien jaf min kien sejjer jittradih; għalhekk qal, 'M'intomx ilkoll indaf.'
[Ġw:13:12] Wara li ħaslilhom saqajhom, libes il-mantar u raġa' qagħad fuq il-mejda; u qalilhom: "Tafu x'għamiltilkom? [Ġw:13:13] Intom issejjħuli 'l-Imgħallem' u 'il-Mulej', u tgħidu sewwa, għax hekk jien. [Ġw:13:14] Mela jekk jien, li jien il-Mulej u l-Imgħallem, ħsiltilkom saqajkom, hekk intom għandkom taħslu saqajn xulxin. [Ġw:13:15] Għax jien tajtkom eżempju, biex kif għamilt jien magħkom, hekk tagħmlu intom ukoll.

Il-Kelma tal-Mulej
R/. Tifħir lilek Kristu

Papa Francesco messa in Coena Domini 2018-03-29

After the Mass of the Lord's Supper the Tabernacle is empty and the Eucharist is processed to the Altar of Repose, the holy Sepulchre.

Parish churches are open for the visit of the seven churches and the faithful are invited to spend time in Eucharistic adoration while the Sacrament is in repose:

Where appropriate, this prolonged Eucharistic adoration may be accompanied by the reading of some part of the Gospel of St. John (chs. 13-17).

From midnight onwards, however, the adoration should be made without external solemnity, because the day of the Lord's passion has begun.

STAY WITH ME - Ishru miegħi = Isaiah 53:11; Matthew 26:37-44; Mark 14:34-42; Luke 22:42-44

NOVEMBER 2024 - The Pope Video 11 - FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LOST A CHILD

The loss of a child may be the worst pain a father and mother can experience. There’s no word that could possibly describe such profound grief. Pope Francis asks us to join him in prayer this month precisely for those parents who have lost a child. In the Video produced by the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network that accompanies his prayer intention, Pope Francis invites us to listen in a particular way to those fathers and mothers who suffer this heartbreaking loss – to listen to them and be near them with love, just like Jesus when he cared for the most vulnerable. The Pope stresses how important it is that families support each other, with their faith which is a great pillar on which hope can be reborn. 🙏 “Let us pray that all parents who mourn the loss of a son or daughter find support in their community, and may receive peace of heart from the Spirit of Consolation.” "What can we say to parents who have lost a child? How can we console them? There are no words. You see, when one spouse loses the other, they are a widower or a widow. A child who loses a parent is an orphan. There’s a word for that. But when a parent loses a child, there’s no word. The pain is so great, that there’s no word. And it’s not natural to outlive your child. The pain caused by this loss is especially intense. Words of encouragement are at times banal or sentimental, they’re not helpful. Spoken with the best intention, of course, they can end up aggravating the wound. To offer comfort to these parents who have lost a child, we need to listen to them, to be close to them with love, to care responsibly for the pain they feel, imitating how Jesus Christ consoled those who were afflicted. And those parents who are sustained by their faith can certainly find comfort in other families who, by suffering such a terrible tragedy as this, have been reborn in hope. Let us pray that all parents who mourn the loss of a son or daughter find support in their community, and may receive peace of heart from the Spirit of Consolation." ----------------------------------------- For those who have lost a child – The Pope Video11 – November 2024

San Mikiel Arkanġlu / St Michael the Archangel

San Mikiel Arkanġlu, idħol għalina
fit-taqbida; kun int il-għajnuna
tagħna kontra l-ħażen u t-tnassis
tad-demonju. Irażżnu Alla, nitolbuk
bil-ħerqa. Int l-aqwa fost il-qtajja’
tas-sema, itfa' bil-Qawwa t'Alla,
fil-qiegħ ta' l-infern lix-xitan u
l-ispirti ħżiena l-oħra li jiġġerrew
fid-dinja għat-telfien ta' l-erwieħ.
Ammen.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend
us in battle, be our defense against
the wickedness and snares of the
devil; may God rebuke him, we
humbly pray, and do thou O
Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the Divine Power, thrust
into hell satan and all the
evil spirits who prowl about
the world seeking the ruin
of souls. Amen.
