L-Arċisqof iżur u jitlob fil-post fejn twettaq l-assassinju ta’ Daphne Caruana Galizia L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Kull anniversarju tal-assassinju ta’ Daphne Caruana Galizia jqanqal f’ħafna nies diversi emozzjonijiet, ħafna drabi emozzjonijiet kontrastanti. Dan huwa fatt li wieħed ma jistax jiċħdu. Il-persuna ta’ Daphne tkompli, anke wara l-mewt traġika u kiefra tagħha, tqanqal reazzjonijiet anke avversi. Huwa dover tagħna li nibqgħu niftakru.

There is nothing that will not be known – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass for the memorial of St Edwige and St Margaret Mary Alacoque

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

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Kulħadd jgħaffeġ fuq xulxin”. Din hi d-deskrizzjoni tan-nies li marru biex jisimgħu lil Ġesù, li nsibu fl-Evanġelju ta’ San Luqa llum. Veru ma kellhomx għalfejn dak iż-żmien iżommu d-distanza soċjali u joqogħdu ’l bogħod, imma kienet problema għal Ġesù b’dawk in-nies kollha biex iwasslilhom il-kelma tiegħu. Imma Ġesù, bħalma naraw dejjem u hawn b’mod ċar, la jibża’ jwassal il-kelma u lanqas jipprova jingħoġob… Read more »
