L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Kif smajtu fil-bidu tal-quddiesa, is-saċerdot li qara l-Evanġelju llum huwa Dun David Borg minn Ħaż-Żabbar, li bħalissa qiegħed jagħmel is-servizz tiegħu saċerdotali fil-parroċċa ta’ Ħal Tarxien. Dun David huwa wkoll artist bravu u jalla jkompli dan it-talent ukoll fil-ħajja saċerdotali tiegħu. Nitolbu għalih, li huwa saċerdot novell, wieħed mill-10 saċerdoti ġodda li bihom berikna l-Mulej.

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
San Bartilmew hu wieħed mit-tnax-il Appostlu. Twieled f’Kana tal-Galilija, u hu indikat bħala dak li fl-Evanġelju ta’ San Ġwann jissemma bħala Natanael. Fil-fatt, San Ġwann isemmi lil Natanael filwaqt li l-evanġelisti l-oħra jsemmu lil Bartilmew bħala wieħed mill-appostli. Hawnhekk, kif rajna fl-Evanġelju, kien l-appostlu Filippu li ħajru biex imur għand Ġesù, u meta Ġesù rah, qal: “Hawn hu Israeli li jistħoqqlu dan l-isem… Read more »

Qegħdin niċċelebraw il-festa ta’ San Publiju f’ċirkustanzi partikolari. Aħna ma nistgħux ma nitolbux l-interċessjoni ta’ dan il-prinċep tal-gżira, il-protos tagħna, li l-Mulej għażlu biex juri min aħna tassew.
Fil-qalb ta’ Publiju aħna nitolbu li naraw il-qalb ta’ kull wieħed u waħda minna. Imma l-qalb ta’ Publiju x’kienet? Il-qalb Maltija ta’ Publiju kienet il-qalb li meta tara l-proxxmu fil-bżonn tmidd l-id tal-imħabba, tal-għożża u tal-ħbiberija… Read more »
