Our identity – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass with prayers for our Bishops and priests

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

L-omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

Fil-ħajja tagħna, l-iktar esperjenza li timla l-qalb hija l-esperjenza tal-imħabba. Jista’ jkollna sodisfazzjon fil-ħajja b’ħafna affarijiet u nkunu kuntenti b’affarijiet sbieħ, imma l-iktar esperjenza li timla l-qalb hija l-imħabba.

Hemm raġuni għal dan. Meta Alla ħalaqna, għamilna xbieha tiegħu, hu li hu mħabba. U qiegħed f’qalbna din l-imħabba, tana l-kapaċità li aħna li aħna maħbuba minnu nistgħu nħobbu u hemm insibu tassew il-milja f’ħajjitna… Read more »

♫ Bless the Lord O my soul ♫ 

O my soul
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I’ll worship Your Holy name

The sun comes up
It’s a new day dawning
It’s time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass
And whatever lies before me
Let me be singing
When the evening comes

You’re rich in love
And You’re slow to anger
Your name is great
And Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness
I will keep on singing

Ten thousand reasons
For my heart to find

And on that day
When my strength is failing
The end draws near
And my time has come
Still my soul will
Sing Your praise unending

Ten thousand years
And then forevermore

True friendship is based on love – The Archbishop

Mass on the feast of St Matthias for the repose of the soul of those who have died in recent days especially the patients of Hospice Malta

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

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Wieħed jifhem għaliex il-Knisja fil-festa tal-lum, il-festa ta’ San Mattija tagħżel din is-silta sabiħa ħafna mill-kapitlu 15 tal-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann anke għaliex fil-versett tal-hallelujah, qabel propju din is-silta, il-Knisja tirrepeti vers li japplika ħafna għall-każ u l-missjoni ta’ Mattija. “Jiena għażiltkom u ħtartkom” (Ġw 15:16). Ġesù anzi jinsisti li mhux aħna għażilna lilu imma hu għażel lilna.

U meta d-dixxipli, anzi l-appostli għandhom bżonn jagħżlu ’l xi ħadd minflok Ġuda l-Iskarjota, it-traditur, biex il-Kulleġġ tal-Appostli jibqa’ bin-numru 12 li kien l-ewwel nett in-numru li għażel Ġesù u fl-istess ħin kien ukoll is-sinjal tal-poplu ta’ Alla mġedded u ġdid, iqiegħdu quddiem il-providenza, quddiem ir-rieda ta’ Alla l-għażla bejn żewġ persuni li kienu t-tnejn adatti… Read more »
