Beware of all greed – Bishop Galea-Curmi

  The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Ħarsu rwieħkom minn kull regħba”. Din hija l-kelma li smajna lil Ġesù jgħid fl-Evanġelju tal-lum, u aħna nafu mill-esperjenza tal-ħajja kemm hi vera. Ir-regħba x’inhi? Hija dik il-kilba li jkollok, ikollok iktar, iġġib iktar, tiġma’ iktar. Ġesù jgħid: ħajtek ma tiddependix mill-ġid li jkollok.

Għalhekk lin-nies Ġesù qalilhom: iftħu għajnejkom, għax faċli titqarrqu. U jġib l-eżempju bil-parabbola ta’ dan ir-raġel li kellu ħafna ġid u ried jaħżen il-ġid kollu biex hu jixxala u jgawdi dan il-ġid… Read more »

Four new publications in Maltese

Is-Soċjetà tad-Duttrina Nistranija, permezz ta’ Pubblikazzjoni Preca, ippubblikat dawn il-kotba li jistgħu jkunu utli għall-ħajja spiritwali u l-ministeru pastorali.

It-tentazzjoni u d-dixxerniment hu ktieb tat-teologu Ċilen Segundo Galilea li oriġinarjament kien ippublikat fl-1991. Għandu jinteressa lil dawk impenjati fil-Knisja għax jispjega b’mod prattiku u attwali kif nistgħu niddistingwu bejn it-tqanqil tal-Ispirtu s-Santu u dak li hu biss falsità.

Mingħajru ma nistgħu tagħmlu xejn: inkunu missjunarji fid-dinja tal-lum hu ktieb-intervista tal-Papa Franġisku mal-ġurnalista Taljan Gianni Valenti li oriġinarjament kien ippublikat fl-2019… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

X’inhi din il-Ġurnata Missjunarja? Għal ħafna minna hi l-ġurnata meta aħna nieqfu ftit biex naħsbu fil-Knisja li hi missjunarja, speċjalment f’dawk il-pajjiżi msejħin ‘tal-missjoni’ u l-għajnuna li tingħata lilhom. Aħna għandna lil Missio f’Malta, u hawn Mons. Valent Borg, li qed jikkonċelebra li hu d-direttur tal-Missio, u nixtieq nirringrazzja lilu u lill-ħaddiema u dawk kollha li qed jagħtu servizz f’Missio għall-ġid li qed jagħmlu biex il-Knisja tista’ tkun tassew Knisja missjunarja… Read more »

Our Lady: a source of good health – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass on the feast of Our Lady of Good Health

Il-festa tal-Madonna tas-Saħħa – festa li ilha tiġi ċċelebrata hawnhekk f’din il-knisja mill-1815, jiġifieri aktar minn 200 sena – din is-sena ġiet fi żminijiet partikolarment diffiċli. Il-pandemija tal-Covid-19 – theddida kbira għas-saħħa ta’ kulħadd – laqtet id-dinja kollha u bħalissa qed inħossu ħafna l-piż tagħha f’diversi pajjiżi tal-Ewropa u f’pajjiżna. Din l-aħħar ġimgħa f’Malta kienet iebsa ħafna – għal dawk li għaddew għall-ħajja ta’ dejjem u l-familjari tagħhom; għal dawk milquta mill-virus fejn kellna rekord wara l-ieħor; u għal dawk kollha li nsejħulhom frontliners li ħafna minnhom qed jaħdmu bla nifs imma ġieli l-ħidma tagħhom hekk importanti, avolja frontliners, ma tidhirx… Read more »
