Your kingdom come – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass on the Somenity of Christ the King

22/11/2020 The Parish Church of the Annunciation, Ħal Balzan

It-titlu ‘sultan’ jew ‘re’, meta nużawh għal Kristu, għal ħafna min-nies ma jinftihemx. Għax aħna, ħafna drabi, f’moħħna l-idea ta’ sultan hu ta’ xi ħadd tal-passat, li taqra fuqu fl-istejjer; jew inkella xi ħadd li għandu pożizzjoni importanti, ta’ unur, imma mingħajr effett reali fuq il-ħajja tan-nies. U Ġesù Kristu la hu xi ħadd tal-passat biss, u lanqas għandu jkun xi ħadd mingħajr influwenza fuq il-ħajja tan-nies… Read more »

You are made for heaven! – The Archbishop

Mass on the solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe

22/11/2020 Chapel of Wied Għammieq cemetery, Kalkara

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Meta Ġesù għallimna nitolbu, għallimna ngħidu wkoll: “Tiġi saltnatek” (Mt 6:10). Quddiem Pilatu jammetti li huwa sultan (ara Mt 26:11).

Il-qari li għadna kemm smajna mill-Evanġelju ta’ San Mattew huwa l-aħħar diskors ta’ Ġesù qabel jibda l-mixja tal-passjoni tiegħu. Fil-fatt, kif jispiċċa dan id-diskors li għadna kemm smajna, Ġesù jħabbar li għandu bżonn imur Ġerusalemm u jsallbuh. Għalhekk, huwa diskors importanti li fih iħabbar li hu sultan u l-mod kif se jsaltan… Read more »

Pope Francis opened his video message by congratulating the young people attending virtually for their commitment and determination in the period leading up to and during the event. “You have not left out anything that gives you joy, worries you, outrages you, and pushes you to change”, he said.
