L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Kif innutajtu l-Evanġelji li l-Knisja tagħżel fir-Raba’ Ġimgħa tal-Għid jagħtuna dejjem ħjiel ta’ riflessjoni fuq ir-ragħaj fil-Knisja ta’ Ġesù, il-leadership.

Illum il-Knisja tagħtina diversi elementi wħud ta’ dawl, oħrajn ta’ inqas dawl jew ta’ dlam. U ta’ min wieħed joffri riflessjoni qasira fuq dawn l-elementi. L-għażla tal-Evanġelju tal-lum torbot fuq l-aħħar kelmiet ta’ Ġesù anke għaliex hu jinsisti fuq dak li qed jgħid billi jintroduċi l-kliem tiegħu bil-frażi: “Tassew, tassew ngħidilkom” (Ġw 13:16)… Read more »

Pope at General Audience: ‘Prayer is the breath of faith’

06/05/2020   The Vatican

Pope Francis during General Audience  (Vatican Media)

Pope Francis begins a new series of catechesis during the General Audience on the theme of prayer and invites the faithful never to suffocate that cry for hope and salvation.

Taking inspiration from the Gospel episode of Bartimaeus, the blind beggar from Jericho who is able to see again after making a profession of faith in Jesus, Pope Francis invited Christians to reach out to God with prayer and to persevere in their journey of faith… Read more »

A light that shines in the darkness – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass offered for the repose of the soul of the five victims of Covid-19 and for those thousands of people who lost their lives in this pandemic

06/05/2020   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa, the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-Omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Jiena huwa d-dawl li ġejt fid-dinja biex kull min jemmen fija ma jibqax fid-dlam”. Dan hu l-kliem li smajna lil Ġesù jgħid fl-Evanġelju llum, u jgħidu b’leħen għoli.

San Ġwann l-Evanġelista jenfasizza ħafna dan il-kuntrast bejn id-dawl u d-dlam. Id-dawl jirreferi għal Ġesù u dak li hu tajjeb, u d-dlam il-kontra, għal dak li hu ħażin. Sa mill-bidu tal-Evanġelju, fil-Prologu, jgħid li “Id-dawl jiddi fid-dlam, imma d-dlam ma għelbux” (Ġw 1:5).  Iktar ’il quddiem ukoll Ġesù stess jgħid: “Jiena d-dawl tad-dinja… Read more »

The Lord will not leave us even when we sin – The Archbishop

Mass offered to all parents so they are shepherds within their families according to Jesus' heart and to those who are praying to become parents

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Il-festa tal-konsagrazzjoni tat-tempju kienet festa għażiża ħafna minn dejjem għall-poplu Lhudi. Kienet festa li tfakkar ukoll ir-rebħa tal-poplu Lhudi fuq tentattiv li tnessihom il-fidi ta’ missirijiethom. Kienet it-tifkira ta’ meta l-Makkabej reġgħu ħadu t-tempju f’idejhom u kkonsagrawh lill-Mulej.

F’dan il-kuntest il-Lhud jistaqsu lil Ġesù dwar l-identità tiegħu: “Jekk inti l-Messija għidilna ċar u tond” (Ġw 10:24). Il-Mulej fir-risposta tiegħu ma jiċħadx imma jikkonferma l-identità tiegħu… Read more »
