News from the Church in Malta
Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!
Today we will reflect on an essential dimension of prayer: blessing. We are continuing the reflections on prayer. In the creation accounts (see Gn 1-2), God continually blesses life, always. He blesses the animals (1:22), He blesses the man and the woman (1:28), finally, He blesses the Sabbath, the day of rest and the enjoyment of all of creation (2:3)… Read more »
This New Year’s day ‘Festa ta’ Ġenerożità’ will be held very differently in order to safeguard the safety of its residents and workers but because of the COVID-19 pandemic is the most important one ever organised. In order to be in line with the directives issued by the Health authorities, the event will be broadcast from the We studios in Qormi. Only those answering the telephones and invited guests will be allowed in… Read more »
L-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna inawgura uffiċċju ġdid tal-Malta Guide Dogs Foundation (MGDF) nhar it-Tnejn 30 ta’ Diċembru. L-uffiċċju ngħata mill-Arċidjoċesi ta’ Malta lill-fundazzjoni għal snin bla kera, wara li din tilfet l-uffiċċju li kellha qabel minħabba li għadda għand operatur privat. Min-naħa tagħha l-fondazzjoni rranġat il-post bil-għajnuna ta’ numru ta’ sponsors u l-post issa fih mejda fejn jista’ jiltaqa’ l-bord, żewġ skrivaniji, kċina żgħira u kamra tal-banju… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Biex nifhmu l-għażla tal-Evanġelju fiż-żmien tal-Avvent, dan l-istaġun li qegħdin fih, irridu nħarsu u nisimgħu b’attenzjoni l-ewwel qari. F’ħafna mill-jiem tal-Avvent, l-ewwel qari hu meħud mill-ktieb sabiħ ħafna tal-profeta Iżaija. Illum, pereżempju, fil-bidu smajna profezija sabiħa ta’ Iżaija li hija wkoll mument sabiħ ta’ poeżija straordinarja fil-Bibbja.
Illum smajna l-profezija tal-għerq ta’ Ġesse u wkoll id-doni tal-ispirtu: “Fuqu jistrieħ l-ispirtu tal-Mulej, l-ispirtu tal-għerf u d-dehen, l-ispirtu tal-għaqal u l-qawwa, l-ispirtu tal-għerf u l-biża’ tal-Mulej, u l-għaxqa tiegħu fil-biża’ tal-Mulej” (Iż 11:2-3)… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Sant’Andrija kien sajjied minn Betsajda fil-Galilija, flimkien ma’ ħuh Pietru. Fl-Evanġelju qrajna din is-silta meta Ġesù jsejħilhom biex minn sajjieda jagħmilhom “sajjieda tal-bnedmin”. Imma fl-Evanġelju ta’ San Ġwann (Ġw 1:35-42) għandna rakkont sabiħ ħafna meta jkun hu, Indrì, li jiltaqa’ ma’ Ġesù. Kien dixxiplu ta’ Ġwanni l-Battista, u meta dan uriehom lil Ġesù u qalilhom “Araw il-Ħaruf ta’ Alla”, hu mexa warajh, qagħad miegħu, għarfu bħala l-Messija… Read more »
