MEMORIAL OF SAINT JOHN XXIII, Pope

FIRST READING
Circumcision is of no avail, but faith working through love.
GALATIANS 5: 1 - 6

Brethren: For freedom Christ has set us free; stand fast therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Now I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is bound to keep the whole law. You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace. For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait for the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any avail, but faith working through love.

The Word of the Lord.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM
Psalm 119: 41, 43, 44, 45, 47, 48 (R.) 41a

R/. Lord, let your mercy come upon me.

Lord, let your mercy come upon me, 
the salvation you have promised. R/.

Never take the word of truth from my mouth, 
for I hope in your decrees. R/.

I shall always keep your law, 
forever and ever. R/.

I shall walk on a spacious plain, 
for I seek your precepts. R/.

In your commands I have found my delight; 
these I have loved. R/.

I reach out to your commands, which I love, 
and ponder your statutes. R/.

ALLELUIA
Hebrews 4: 12

The word of the Lord is living and active, discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Alleluia.

GOSPEL
Give alms; and behold, everything is clean for you.
LUKE 11: 37 - 41

At that time: While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him; so he went in and sat at table. The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner. And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of extortion and wickedness. You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also? But give for alms those things which are within; and behold, everything is clean for you.”

The Gospel of the Lord.

Cancel Culture: Modern Justice or Online Bullying?

  In today’s digital age, cancel culture seems to stir up more heated debate than most. Some hail it as a way for society to hold public figures and institutions accountable while others see it as a dangerous form of online bullying; an unforgiving, mob-driven take-down with real-life consequences. But what exactly is cancel culture, and is it helping or hurting our world? Let’s explore both sides of the coin. Cancel Culture as Modern Justice One of the strongest arguments for cancel culture is that it gives power to the powerless. For generations, marginalised voices were silenced by systems that protected the rich, the famous, and the powerful. Today, social media has changed that. When someone speaks out about racism, sexism, abuse, or corruption, their voice can echo around the globe within hours. The public can demand change and more importantly, demand accountability. Consider cases where traditional institutions failed to act until social pressure forced them to. In these mo...

Men vs. Women: Do We Really Listen Differently?

Have you ever told a story to a guy, expecting an emotional reaction, only to get a “Hmm… that’s rough” in response? Or maybe you’ve shared something with a woman, and she immediately started asking ten follow-up questions about how you felt? If so, congratulations—you’ve witnessed firsthand how men and women often listen in very different ways. But why does this happen? Is it just personality differences, or is there something deeper at play? Let’s dive into the fascinating world of how men and women listen. Men: The Fixers For many men, listening is a mission. The goal? Find the problem and solve it. When a guy hears someone venting about a tough day, his brain starts scanning for solutions: ✅ “Did you try talking to your boss?” ✅ “Maybe you should switch gyms.” ✅ “Here’s what I would do…” This isn’t because men don’t care—it’s actually the opposite. They think the best way to help is to fix whatever’s wrong. The issue? Sometimes, the person talking doesn’t want a solution; ...

Bwana Kama Wewe Ungehesabu Maovu Yetu Lyrics

By G.A Chavalla,  St. Maurus Kurasini. Bwana kama wewe ungehesabu maovu yetu, (nani angesimama)*3 mbele yako. 1. Lakini kwako kuna msamaha, ili wewe uogopwe, nimemngoja Bwana, roho yangu, na neno lake nimelitumaini. 2. Nafsi yangu inamngoja Bwana, kuliko walinzi, walinzi waingojavyo asubuhi Naam walinzi waingojavyo asubuhi. 3. Ee Bwana toka vilindini, nimekulilia. Bwana sauti yangu usikie, masikio yako yasikie Dua zangu.
