Serving our mission led by the Spirit of Jesus – Bishop Galea-Curmi

02/09/2020   The Convent of the Sisters of Charity, Ħal Balzan

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Dan l-Evanġelju li smajna jurina lil Ġesù fil-qadi tal-missjoni tiegħu: Ġesù li jfejjaq, kemm meta qed ifejjaq ġo familja fil-kwiet fejn ma jarawhx in-nies, kif ukoll meta jfejjaq tant nies li jġibulu; Ġesù li jgħin lill-bniedem jeħles mill-ispirtu ħżiena, mill-qawwa tal-ħażen; u Ġesù li jwassal il-kelma, li jipprietka minn post għal ieħor.

Jurina wkoll dan l-Evanġelju b’liema mod Ġesù kien jaqdi din il-missjoni tiegħu: b’ħafna mħabba u ġenerożità kbira, b’dedikazzjoni kbira u b’libertà kbira: il-libertà li turi li hu mhux marbut ma’ post imma jitlaq għal post ieħor, għax dik kienet il-missjoni tiegħu… Read more »

Mass for the memorial of Pope Saint Gregory the Great

03/09/2020   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

Hija providenzjali li fil-festa tal-Papa qaddis, San Girgor il-Kbir, nisimgħu Evanġelju fejn ifakkarna f’waħda mill-ewwel laqgħat ta’ Xmun Pietru mal-imgħallem, ma’ Ġesù. Huwa l-mument meta Pietru jiskopri li dan ir-rabbi, dan l-imgħallem, għandu qawwa u setgħa anke fuq il-ħlejjaq. Kif jgħid hu stess, bħala sajjied għamel lejl jitħabat biex jaqbad il-ħut (ara Lq 5:5) imma għall-kelma tal-imgħallem żewġ dgħajjes imtlew bil-ħut u kienu għodhom se jegħrqu… Read more »
