Special Mass for the people that are alone

L-Omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

Tolqotna ħafna f’din il-ġrajja r-reazzjoni ta’ dawk li kienu qegħdin jisimgħu lil Ġesù. Iktar u iktar tolqotna meta aħna niftakru li dan ir-rakkont hu parti minn rakkont itwal fejn l-ewwel juri lil Ġesù li jidħol fis-sinagoga – kien fil-bidu tal-ministeru tiegħu – u hemmhekk jikkwota lill-Profeta Iżaija: “L-Ispirtu tal-Mulej fuqi, bagħatni nwassal il-ħelsien lill-imjassrin, il-Bxara t-Tajba lill-fqajrin, id-dawl lill-għomja, il-ħelsien lill-maħqurin, u n-niedi s-sena tal-grazzja tal-Mulej.”

Ir-rakkont jgħid li meta semgħuh jgħid dan, in-nies laqgħu bil-qalb dil-kelma u stagħġbu b’dan il-kliem kollu ħlewwa tiegħu… Read more »

‘Time to refocus on what really matters in life’ – The Archbishop

15/03/2020

Message by Archbishop Charles J. Scicluna

A young man approached me a few days ago in an agitated state, upset that the Church had issued directives to remove holy water from the fonts inside churches. “It’s not right,” he insisted.

Much as I admired his honesty and sympathised with his passionate plea, I explained to him we had only taken such a step due to the situation thrust upon us by the COVID-19 virus, and sought to set his mind at rest by promising to bring him holy water myself if he could not do without it… Read more »

We continue to pray for the gift of health in body and soul whilst observing public health measures

15/03/2020

L-Arċisqof Charles J. Scicluna jfakkar li minħabba raġunijiet ta’ saħħa pubblika u fl-ispirtu tad-direttivi maħruġa mill-Isqfijiet fit-12 ta’ Marzu 2020, għall-ġid komuni:

  • Għandha tkun evitata kull inizjattiva li tistieden lill-Insara jinġabru fil-Knisja. 
  • Il-Knejjes għadhom miftuħa iżda għandna nevitaw li jinġabru gruppi numerużi bil-periklu li jinfirex il-mard.
  • Waqt li l-Knisja tkun miftuħa, tajjeb li jkun hemm saċerdot disponibbli…
