My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things.

In difficult times, as Catholics we are called to be a light to others – The Archbishop

Special Mass dedicated to the value of life and the dignity of every person

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

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

F’dawn l-aħħar ġranet tar-Randan, l-Evanġelju jibda jippreparana għall-kunflitt kbir bejn Ġesù u dawk li kienu jaħsbu li fehmu kollox u li jafu kollox, li ma setgħux jilqgħuh: mastrudaxxa minn Nazaret li jgħid li huwa l-Iben ta’ Alla.

Ġesù jinsisti li għandhom iċ-ċavetta biex ikunu jistgħu jagħrfuh u jifhmuh: il-Liġi, il-profeti, Mosè stess, imma xorta jibqgħu jwebbsu rashom. 

Ejjew nitolbu f’dan il-mument partikulari biex aħna nagħrfu fejn qegħdin inwebbsu rasna u qalbna… Read more »

L-Omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

Hemm żewġ sentenzi f’dan il-kliem ta’ Ġesù li huma iebsa ħafna, hu u jitkellem ma’ dawn in-nies. Jgħidilhom: Il-Kelma ta’ Alla ma tinsabx fikom; u jgħidilhom ukoll: l-imħabba ta’ Alla ma tinsabx fikom. Jgħidilhom hekk Ġesù għax kien qed jitkellem ma’ nies li ma ridux jemmnu fih u jaċċettawh. Kienu qishom dawk in-nies li smajna fuqhom fl-Ewwel Qari meta Alla jgħid fuq il-poplu: dan hu poplu ta’ ras iebsa… Read more »
