News from the Church in Malta

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
“Ngħannu lill-Mulej għanja ġdida għax għamel l-għeġubijiet” (S 97:1). Fil-fatt aħna qegħdin nifirħu waqt li nfakkru t-tnissil ta’ Marija, dan l-att ta’ mħabba tal-ġenituri tagħha, Ġwakkin u Anna, li nissel din it-tarbija.
L-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna mhuwiex it-tnissil tal-Marija imma t-tnissil ta’ Ġesù bil-qawwa tal-Ispirtu s-Santu. Imma Marija — u dan huwa dak li qegħdin niċċelebraw — tnisslet fl-att tal-imħabba tal-ġenituri tagħha Anna u Ġwakkin… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Żgur li meta nagħtu l-ewwel daqqa ta’ għajn lejn Ġwanni l-Battista, jidher bħala bniedem partikulari ħafna – kif kien jilbes; x’kien jiekol; il-post li għażel, id-deżert; u anke l-mod kif kien jitkellem, kultant naqra iebes, forsi jinħass naqra goff. Qisu, bil-mentalità tal-lum, tgħid: dan qed jagħmel hekk biex jiġbed l-attenzjoni, biex in-nies jiġbidhom lejh, biex jagħmel xena!
Imma aħna nafu li fil-fatt ma kienx hekk… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Din is-sena hija ddedikata lill-iqsar Evanġelju u għalhekk, fil-Ħdud ta’ din is-sena se nisimgħu mhux biss siltiet mill-Evanġelju ta’ San Mark imma wkoll siltiet mill-Evanġelju ta’ San Ġwann… Read more »
