No need for spectacular things to meet the Lord – the Archbishop

Mass for the memorial of St Jehoshaphat, bishop and martyr

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

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Aħna u nfakkru lil San Ġosafat, nifhmu iżjed għaliex il-Mulej jinsisti ħafna fuq ir-realtà kiefra li jkollu jbati min-nisel ta’ żmienu u li jkun miċħud. Għaliex il-martri jgħixu f’ġisimhom dan l-istess proċess: jagħtu ħajjithom imma jkun hemm min mhux biss iġagħalhom ibatu imma wkoll li jiċħduhom. Fihom, fil-mewt tagħhom, hemm din il-kontinwazjoni tat-traġedja tal-umanità li tiċħad, li tirreżisti lil Ġesù u lil min hu tiegħu… Read more »

Free from the frivolity of this world – The Archbishop

Mass for the memorial of Saint Leo the Great

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

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

X’qed tipprova tgħidilna din il-kelma ta’ Ġesù llum? Aħna nafu li mhux veru li ma niswew għal xejn, anzi l-Mulej iridna nieħdu sehem bit-talenti li għandna, bit-talenti li tana, biex inkunu ta’ servizz għal xulxin u anke għas-saltna tiegħu.

Li jixtieq huwa li nkunu liberi nagħmlu dak li għandna nagħmlu mingħajr ma nistennew ħafna promotions, ċfuf, titli, u onorifiċenzi… Read more »

Keeping the lamp alight – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass on the 25th anniversary of the founding of Radju Marija and the 100th anniversary of the birth of Pope John Paul II

  Radju Marija offices, Rabat

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

L-istorja li smajna llum fl-Evanġelju – tal-għaxar xebbiet li qed jistennew l-għarus – Ġesù qalha b’referenza għad-drawwiet ta’ żmienu, imma wkoll b’messaġġ ċar li ta lin-nies ta’ żmienu u jagħti lilna llum. Kieku kellek tiġbor fi ftit kliem il-messaġġ li qed jgħid Ġesù, hu: kun preparat, kun preparata, għall-mument meta tiltaqa’ miegħu wiċċ imb wiċċ. Aħna lkoll imsejħin biex inkunu ppreparati għal din il-laqgħa miegħu… Read more »

Loyalty to the Pope – The Archbishop

Mass on the feast of the dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome

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

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Il-konsagrazzjoni tal-Katidral ta’ Ruma, San Giovanni in Laterano, tagħtina l-opportunità mhux biss inġeddu l-fedeltà tagħna lejn l-Isqof ta’ Ruma, il-Papa, imma wkoll nirriflettu fuq il-kelma li jgħid Ġesù.

L-evanġelista Ġwanni jgħid li meta tkellem fuq it-tempju kien qed jirreferi għall-ġisem tiegħu “iżda hu tkellem fuq it-tempju tal-ġisem tiegħu” (Ġw 13:21). Jekk il-ġisem ta’ Ġesù huwa tempju, hekk ukoll huwa l-ġisem tagħna, ta’ kull wieħed u waħda minna kif jgħallem l-Appostlu Missierna San Pawl… Read more »
