L-omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

Dan hu f’kuntrast ma’ dak li nisimgħu aħna kultant, il-mentalità li tgħid, u din hi komuni: “Din x’fiha? … Read more »

Idealment il-qrar għandu jsir permezz ta’ appuntament u min ikun qed jistenna għall-qrar għandu jżomm d-distanza soċjali. Is‑saċerdot u l‑persuna li qed tqerr ser ikunu libsin visor jew maskra, u fejn hu possibbli ser ikun hemm screen protettiv bejniethom… Read more »

Waqt xogħlijiet minn Infrastructure Malta fi Triq Santa Monika, Tal-Pietà, instab passaġġ maqtugħ fil-blat taħt l-art b’żewġ xbihat reliġjużi. Biswithom instab xelter imdaqqas fi stat tajjeb, possibbilment tat-Tieni Gwerra Dinjija, li kien fih ħafna iktar xbihat imnaqqxa fil-blat.

Psalm: 26 (27), 7-8a.8b-9abc.13-14

Gospel: Mt 5, 27-32

Jesus said to his disciples: “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that every one who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 

If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away; it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell. 

“It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I say to you that every one who divorces his wife, unless the marriage is unlawful, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.  Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Dan l-Evanġelju jintgħażel fit-tifkira ta’ San Barnaba għaliex huwa mument meta Ġesù, fil-kapitlu 10 skont San Mattew, jibgħat grupp ta’ dixxipli jħabbru s-saltna tas-smewwiet.

Jagħtihom ukoll qawwa li jfejqu kemm il-ġisem kif ukoll ir-ruħ. Imma jgħallimhom ukoll jafdaw fil-providenza ta’ Alla. Huma ħaddiema fl-għalqa tal-Mulej. “Il-ħaddiem ħaqqu ħobżu” (Mt 10:10). M’hemmx għalfejn iġġorr ħafna affarijiet miegħek għax fejn se tmur il-Mulej se jippreparalek nies li se jieħdu ħsiebek… Read more »
