Mass on the feast of St Joseph the Worker

01/05/2020   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa, the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-Omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Dan mhuwiex bin il-mastrudaxxa?” Hekk qalu n-nies wara li semgħu lil Ġesù li ġie Nazaret, u semgħuh fis-sinagoga tagħhom. Kienu jafu li missieru mastrudaxxa, u allura skantaw bl-għerf li kellu.

Illum qed nagħmlu t-tifkira ta’ dan il-mastrudaxxa, ta’ Ġużeppi, li kien il-missier putattiv ta’ Ġesù u għex ħajja mill-aktar ordinarja: familja u xogħol. Kien jaf x’jiġifieri titħabat għax-xogħol, u d-diffikultajiet li jġib miegħu x-xogħol, u kien jaf ukoll is-sodisfazzjon tax-xogħol, hu li kien jaħdem fl-injam… Read more »

♫ King of my Heart – Bethel ♫

Let the King of my heart
Be the mountain where I run
The fountain I drink from
Oh, He is my song
Let the King of my heart
Be the shadow where I hide
The ransom for my life
Oh, He is my song

‘Cause You are good
You are good, oh oh
You are good
You are good, oh oh
You are good
You are good, oh oh

You are good
You are good, oh oh
And let the King of my heart
Be the wind inside my sails
The anchor in the waves
Oh oh, He is my song
Let the King of my heart
Be the fire inside my veins
The echo of my days
Oh oh, He is my song
