L-omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi
Huma ftit il-qaddisin li d-devozzjoni lejhom bdiet f’Malta. Għandna lil San Publju u lil San Ġorġ Preca, u l-Beati Nazju Falzon u Marija Adeodata Pisani, li kienu jgħixu hawn. Imma hemm qaddis li ma għexx f’Malta u li d-devozzjoni lejh bdiet f’Malta: dan hu San Kalċedonju, li qed niċċelebraw il-festa tiegħu llum. Ir-raġuni hi għaliex snin ilu, fl-1753, il-Papa ta’ dak iż-żmien, Benedittu XIV, kien bagħat hawnhekk il-fdalijiet tiegħu lill-Ġiżwiti li kienu jgħixu f’dan il-post, il-kunvent li kien jissejjaħ tal-Madonna ta’ Manresa… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Fil-festa ta’ Santa Briġida, dan l-Evanġelju jispjegalna forsi l-qalb ta’ din il-qaddisa li magħrufa wkoll bħala mara ta’ mistiċiżmu awtentiku u kbir.
Fil-fatt, nistgħu ngħidu li kienet magħżula minn Alla biex tkun profeta għall-Knisja. Briġida, anke mqanqla mit-talb u bil-kuntatt kontinwu ma’ Ġesù, kienet tħares lejn il-kapijiet ta’ żmienha — kemm reliġjużi kemm ċivili — u kienet tiktbilhom ittri qawwija ħafna b’mod anke dirett… Read more »
