L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles J. Scicluna

Din is-silta mill-kapitlu 16 ta’ San Ġwann tibda tippreparana bil-mod il-mod għat-tluq ta’ Ġesù minn din id-dinja fil-misteru tal-passjoni u l-mewt tiegħu, tal-qawmien tiegħu mill-imwiet, tat-tlugħ is-sema tiegħu.

“Jaqblilkom li jiena mmur” (Ġw 16:7). Dan huwa kliem li għall-qalb tal-bniedem huwa diffiċli għax meta aħna ngħożżu lil xi ħadd, l-aħħar ħaġa li tiġi f’moħħna hija li ninfirdu minnu… Read more »

18/05/2020   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa, the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

Hemm żewġ kelmiet li Ġesù juża llum fl-Evanġelju biex jitkellem fuq l-Ispirtu s-Santu li hu kellu jibgħat fuq id-dixxipli wara li jqum mill-mewt. Ġesù jgħid: Nibgħatilkom “Id-Difensur” u “L-Ispirtu tal-Verità”. Dawn it-tnejn ifissru tajjeb ħafna min hu Ispirtu s-Santu fil-ħajja tal-appostli u fil-ħajja tagħna wkoll.

Ġesù jgħid: Nibgħatilkom id-Difensur. Ifisser xi ħadd li qiegħed magħkom, li jakkumpanjakom, li jappoġġjakom, jinkoraġġikom imma wkoll jipproteġikom… Read more »

The KA believes we need to reinforce the self-discipline we have shown throughout the pandemic, so that all of us would be able to weather any similar experience in the future. 

The COVID-19 crisis has opened our eyes to our vulnerability and to what is most valuable in life… Read more »
