Prayers lead to love – The Archbishop

Mass on the feast of St Bridget of Sweden

23/07/2020   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at The Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Fil-festa ta’ Santa Briġida, dan l-Evanġelju jispjegalna forsi l-qalb ta’ din il-qaddisa li magħrufa wkoll bħala mara ta’ mistiċiżmu awtentiku u kbir.

Fil-fatt, nistgħu ngħidu li kienet magħżula minn Alla biex tkun profeta għall-Knisja. Briġida, anke mqanqla mit-talb u bil-kuntatt kontinwu ma’ Ġesù, kienet tħares lejn il-kapijiet ta’ żmienha — kemm reliġjużi kemm ċivili — u kienet tiktbilhom ittri qawwija ħafna b’mod anke dirett… Read more »

We wish to see a sign – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass dedicated to those who died in the last few days

20/07/2020   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at The Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Xtaqna kieku naraw sinjal mingħandek.” Dan kien il-kliem li xi kittieba u Fariżej qalu lil Ġesù.

Il-biċċa hi li kienu raw digà sinjali jew semgħu b’sinjali li għamel Ġesù. Ftit qabel din is-silta, fl-Evanġelju ta’ San Mattew, naqraw li “ħafna min-nies marru warajh u fejjaqhom kollha”. U Ġesù, barra l-fejqan, kien ukoll keċċa xjaten, kien sikket it-tempesta, kien għamel diversi sinjali… Read more »
