The devil’s hatred and the peace of God – The Archbishop

Mass on the forth Sunday in ordinary time

31/01/2021 The Church of St Catherine, Żejtun

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Dawn il-Ħdud qegħdin inkomplu naqraw mill-ewwel kapitlu tal-Evanġelju ta’ San Mark. Kapitlu pjuttost twil u fih San Mark jippreżenta l-qofol tal-missjoni ta’ Ġesù. Tissemma l-belt Kafarnahum li tfisser il-belt ta’ Naħum, Kafar Naħum. Hija belt li kienet u għadha fuq ix-xatt ta’ din l-għadira l-kbira, il-Baħar ta’ Tiberijade. Kafarnahum kienet saret, biex ngħidu hekk, il-belt adottiva ta’ Ġesù. Meta telaq minn Nazaret, Kafarnahum sar iċ-ċentru fejn Ġesù kien jirritorna; kien imur minn belt għall-oħra, minn raħal għall-ieħor imma mbagħad Kafarnahum kienet il-belt fejn kien jissetilja… Read more »

Working in secret and in silence – Bishop Galea-Curmi

29/01/2021 The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Bla ma jaf kif”. Dan hu l-mod kif Ġesù jiddeskrivi dak li jiġri meta r-raġel jitfa’ ż-żerriegħa fl-art u din tinbet u tikber, tiżviluppa, bla ma jaf kif. U Ġesù juża din ix-xbieha biex ifisser kif taħdem is-Saltna ta’ Alla.

Hemm ħafna li jgħallimna Ġesù għal ħajjitna permezz ta’ dawn iż-żewġ parabboli. Juri kif iż-żerriegħa hija xi ħaġa żgħira, żgħira ħafna, imma għandha l-potenzjal li tikber u tiżviluppa f’xi ħaġa kbira jekk issib art tajba… Read more »
