A young man approached Jesus and said, “Teacher, what good must I do to gain eternal life?”
He answered him, “Why do you ask me about the good? There is only One who is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.” He asked him, “Which ones?” And Jesus replied, ” ‘You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; honour your father and your mother’; and ‘you shall love your neighbour as yourself.’”

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Fl-Evanġelju tal-lum, Ġesù jitlaq il-Galilija u l-Lhudija li huma t-territorju tal-poplu ta’ Iżrael u jerħilha lejn Tir u Sidon. Kienu żewġt ibliet fuq ix-xatt tal-Mediterran, iħarsu lejna jiġifieri, u kienu wkoll bliet prattikament pagani.

Ġesù jersaq lejn territorju li suppost huwa territorju ostili, li huwa territorju li m’għandux fidi fih, imma jersaq lejh. U toħroġ mara minn dawk l-inħawi, mara Kangħanija… Read more »

Mass on the solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

15/08/2020 The Parish Church of the Annunciation, Ħal Balzan

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Is-solennità ta’ Marija mtellgħa s-sema lilna tagħtina messaġġ ta’ kuraġġ u ta’ għajnuna għall-ħajja tagħna. Aħna qed niċċelebraw il-milja tal-mixja ta’ Marija li bdiet fit-Tħabbira – li niċċelebraw b’mod speċjali f’din il-Knisja – meta hi laqgħet lil Ġesù fi ħdanha, u kompliet ħaġa waħda miegħu sal-mument li hi ġiet imtellgħa s-sema bir-ruħ u l-ġisem.

Marija kienet dik li emmnet f’Ġesù, l-ewwel dixxiplu tiegħu, u baqgħet qrib tiegħu ħajjitha kollha sa taħt is-salib; hemmhekk qasmet miegħu dak il-mument hekk iebes tat-tbatija… Read more »

Our Lady’s victory over death is a sign that love is always victorious – The Archbishop

Mass on the solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

15/08/2020 The Cathedral of St Paul, Mdina

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Xeħet għajnejh fuq iċ-ċokon tal-qaddejja tiegħu […] Is-setgħani għamel miegħi ħwejjeġ kbar […] Kull nisel jibda jsejjaħli hienja” (Lq 1:48.49).

Dawn il-kelmiet li qalithom Marija ta’ Nazaret, il-mamà ta’ Ġesù, qalithom f’kuntest ta’ qadi u ta’ mħabba. L-anġlu Gabrijel kien ħabbrilha l-għażla tagħha biex tkun omm l-Iben ta’ Alla u li kellha ssejjaħlu Ġesù, imma bħala sinjal ta’ dak li kien se jagħmel fiha u magħha biex hi temmen li għal Alla m’hemm xejn li ma setax isir, ingħatat is-sinjal tal-qariba tagħha Eliżabetta li kienet diġà tqila għal sitt xhur… Read more »
