30/03/2020 The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa, Archbishop's Curia, FlorianaL-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Fl-Ewwel Qari rajna l-Mulej isalva l-innoċenza ta’ Susanna permezz ta’ dan iż-żgħażugħ Danjel li waqaf lil dawn iż-żewġ imħallfin krudili, li għaliex Susanna ma ċeditx għall-istedina tagħhom għad-dnub, riedu jakkużawha inġustament b’adulterju.
Fl-Evanġelju Ġesù ma jiddefendix mara innoċenti; hija mara li nqabdet fid-dnub. Il-kundanna miktuba fil-Liġi hija ċara: għandha titħaġġar. Hekk jgħidulu: “Issa fil-liġi tagħna Mosè ordnalna biex nisa bħal dawn inħaġġruhom… Read more »
God gives us freedom and dignity – Bishop Galea-Curmi
Special Mass dedicated to lonely and sick people
30/03/2020 The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa, Archbishop's Curia, FlorianaĠesù fil-ħajja tiegħu, diversi drabi, kellu nies li jippruvaw jonsbuh. Jistaqsuh mistoqsija mhux għax veru jixtiequ risposta għaliha imma biex iġibuh dahru mal-ħajt. Il-każ tal-lum huwa wieħed minn dawn, imma hu agħar għax ma kinetx biss mistoqsija biex jaraw kif se jwieġeb imma ġabulu quddiemu persuna li nqabdet fil-fatt fl-adulterju u qed isaqsuh iħaġġruhiex jew le, kif kellhom jagħmlu skont il-liġi ta’ Mosè. Nafu li Ġesù, wara mument fis-skiet, qalilhom: “Min m’għandux dnub jitfgħalha hu l-ewwel ġebla”… Read more »

30/03/2020 ŻAK House, BirkirkaraL-Azzjoni Kattolika Maltija (AKM) laqgħet fiż-ŻAK House f’Birkirkara (post attrezzat għall-gruppi ta’ żgħażagħ biex jorganizzaw live-ins u skambji), sitt ħaddiema tal-isptar, mingħajr ħlas, sabiex ikunu jistgħu jipproteġu l-familji u qraba tagħhom li jgħixu fi djarhom matul din is-sitwazzjoni diffiċli.
Għal żewġ radjografi, żewġ fiżjoterapisti, infermiera u tabib, bħalissa ż-ŻAK House saret ir-residenza permanenti tagħhom. Ma kinitx deċiżjoni faċli għalihom li jitilqu u jħallu lill-familji tagħhom warajhom, b’xi wħud anke jħallu tfal żgħar warajhom mingħajr ma jafu meta ser jerġgħu jgħannquhom. Iżda ma kellhomx għażla oħra… Read more »

Jesus lives among us and gives us life – Bishop Galea-Curmi
Mass on the fifth Sunday of Lent
29/03/2020 Annunciation of Our Lady Parish Church, Ħal BalzanL-Omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi
Hemm żewġ kelmiet speċjali f’dan ir-rakkont twil li għadna kemm smajna: “Ġesù beka”. Huma kelmiet speċjali f’din is-sentenza li hi waħda mill-iqsar li hemm fl-Iskrittura kollha. U speċjali għax naraw f’dan ir-rakkont lil Ġesù jibki għax Lazzru kien ħabib tiegħu, u jibki għax ħassu emozzjonat meta jara lil ħutu u lin-nies l-oħra wkoll jibku t-telfa ta’ Lazzru.
Ġesù jifhimna, hu wkoll għadda mit-tbatija, u jista’ jifhem dak li qed inħossu f’dawn iż-żminijiet… Read more »
