Why the archangels are more than just messengers from God

29/09/2020

On September 29th, the Church celebrates the archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. These are the “super angels” — the swiftest of them all. Like all angels, they are sent by God to the people: “Praise the Lord, you his angels, who mightily execute his word and obey his command.”

The archangels are the first of the spiritual creatures who proclaim how incredible God is… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Dan l-Evanġelju jintagħażel fil-festa tal-Arkanġli, San Mikiel, San Gabrijel u San Rafel, propju minħabba l-aħħar kelmiet ta’ Ġesù meta, biex jispjega li d-dixxipli għad ikunu xhieda tal-glorja tiegħu, isemmi wkoll l-anġli: “Fis- sewwa, fis-sewwa ngħidilkom għad taraw is-sema miftuħ u l-anġli ta’ Alla niżlin u telgħin fuq Bin il-bniedem” (Ġw 1:51).

L-anġli huma dawk li huma dejjem quddiem il-preżenza ta’ Alla… Read more »

Greatness is in serving – Bishop Galea-Curmi

28/09/2020 The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Wieħed mill-mumenti ibsin għal Ġesù kien meta hu għaraf li d-dixxipli bejniethom kienu qed jitkellmu fuq min kien l-akbar. Anzi, l-Evanġelju skont San Luqa jgħid li “qamet kwestjoni” bejniethom dwar min minnhom kien l-akbar. Kien mument ta’ għafsa ta’ qalb għal Ġesù għaliex kien imur kontra dak li għallimhom. Aktar u aktar meta dan ir-rakkont tal-lum jiġi eżatt wara r-rakkont meta Ġesù lid-dixxipli qed jgħidilhom għat-tieni darba minn xiex se jgħaddi, li se jingħata l-mewt: “Bin il-bniedem għandu jkun mogħti f’idejn il-bnedmin” (Lq 9:44)… Read more »

Pope at Angelus: ‘a true Christian chooses good over evil every day’

27/09/2020

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!

In my land we say: “A good face in bad weather”. With this “good face” I tell you: good morning!

With His preaching on the Kingdom of God, Jesus opposes a religiosity that does not involve human life, that does not question the conscience and its responsibility in the face of good and evil… Read more »
