Syria: More than 50% of children are deprived of education

I bring good news – Bishop Galea Curmi

Mass on the third Sunday in ordinary time

24/01/2021   Church of St Gregory, Żejtun

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Meta xi ħadd jiġi u jgħidilna “għandi aħbar tajba x’nagħtik”, aħna mhux biss inkunu kurjużi biex nisimgħu din l-aħbar, imma ġa jnissel fina ċertu ferħ. Ġesù, l-ewwel ħaġa li nsibu llum fl-Evanġelju skont San Mark, tkellem fuq l-Aħbar it-Tajba. Xandar l-Evanġelju ta’ Alla – ‘L-Evanġelju’ tfisser l-Aħbar it-Tajba. U lin-nies qalilhom: “Is-Saltna ta’ Alla waslet. Indmu u emmnu fl-Evanġelju”. Emmnu fl-Aħbar it-Tajba… Read more »

Mass on the eve of the feast of the Conversion of St Paul

23/01/2021   St Paul's Cathedral, Mdina

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Lejn tmiem is-sena li għaddiet il-Papa Franġisku, bħalma jagħmel kull sena, għamel diskors lill-kollaboraturi tiegħu membri tal-Kurja Rumana. Ta’ kull sena nistennew il-kelma tal-Papa f’din l-okkażjoni għaliex f’din l-okkażjoni jirrifletti fuq l-attwalità dak li għaddejjin minnu.      

Aħna ma nistgħux ninsew li qegħdin niċċelebraw din il-festa għażiża tal-konverżjoni tal-appostlu Missierna San Pawl f’din il-pandemija. Kulħadd liebes il-maskra u kulħadd ukoll ħosbien fuq dak li se jiġrilna… Read more »
