There is nothing more progressive and liberal than protecting human life – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass organised by the LifeNetwork Foundation in memory of abortion victims around the world

13/09/2020   The Chapel of the Annunciation, limits of Rabat

Homily by Bishop Joseph Galea-Curmi

Today, we are commemorating the precious human lives which were cut short during their development, and thus could not be born. They never had the opportunity to show the world their potential. We mourn the loss of these unborn lives, because human life should always be cherished. Their loss is a great loss for us all. It is not only a loss for those who believe in Christ, but also a loss for all those who, in one way or another, value human life from its conception… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù ried jgħallimna lezzjoni importanti ħafna. Pietru jistaqsih jekk hux se jaħfer lil ħutu li naqsuh ħafna drabi, għax seba’ darbiet tfisser ħafna drabi. Ġesù jagħtih numru li jfisser dejjem. Il-Mulej qed jgħallimna: aħfer mhux ħafna drabi, aħfer dejjem.

Hu jagħtina din l-istorja ta’ wieħed li meta spiċċa biex jagħmel il-kontijiet mas-siniur, is-sinjur sab li kellu jagħti għaxart elef talent… Read more »

The difference between a splinter and a wooden beam – Bishop Galea-Curmi

11/09/2020   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Hemm differenza enormi bejn tibna u travu. U Ġesù juża din id-differenza, bi ftit esaġerazzjoni, biex jagħmel il-punt li kultant aħna nħarsu lejn l-oħrajn u naraw il-ħażin fihom u l-ħażin tagħhom, u ma nħarsux lejn il-ħazin tagħna li jkun agħar. Għalhekk: it-tibna f’għajn l-oħrajn filwaqt li f’għajnejna għandna travu.

Dan il-kliem ta’ Ġesù jiġi wara dak li qal lid-dixxipli: “Tiġġudikawx u ma tkunux iġġudikati, tikkundannawx u ma tkunux ikkundannati” (Lq 6:37)… Read more »
