Wise and pure – Bishop Galea-Curmi

06/11/2020   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Kunu għaqlin bħas-sriep u safjin bħall-ħamiem” (Mt 10:16). Dan kien il-kliem li Ġesù qal lill-Appostli meta qalilhom li se jibgħathom “bħal nagħaġ qalb l-ilpup”. Hu kliem li kien utli ħafna għalihom, u siewi tassew għalina llum.

Ġesù għaqqad flimkien l-għaqal u s-safa. Għaqqad flimkien żewġ aspetti li t-tendenza tagħna hi li  nqiegħduhom kontra xulxin. U tifhem għaliex. Aħna lill-ħamiema nassoċjawha mal-paċi, mal-Ispirtu ta’ Alla… Read more »

Jesus said to his disciples: “I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of dishonest wealth so that when it is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal homes. “Whoever is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. 

If then you have not been faithful with the dishonest wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own? No slave can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other… Read more »
