A ‘yes’ of mother and son – The Archbishop

Mass on the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord

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

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Nistgħu ngħidu li l-festa tal-lum tinġabar fir-responsorju li tlabna fis-Salm Responsorjali tal-lum: “Hawn jien, Mulej, ġej nagħmel ir-rieda tiegħek” (S 39:8-9). ‘Hawn jien, Mulej, ġejja nagħmel ir-rieda tiegħek.’

Għaliex illum jiltaqħu mhux ‘iva’ waħda imma tnejn: l-‘iva’ tal-omm u l-‘iva’ tal-iben. Lill-Missier jgħidlu: “Vittmi tal-ħruq u tat-tpattija int ma tlabtx imbagħad jien għedt: ‘Hawn jien ġej’ (ara Lhud 10:6-7)”… Read more »

Pope at Audience: Praying in communion with Mary

  The Vatican

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!

Today the catechesis is dedicated to prayer in communion with Mary. It occurs precisely on the Vigil of the Solemnity of the Annunciation. We know that the main pathway of Christian prayer is the humanity of Jesus. In fact, the confidence typical of Christian prayer would be meaningless if the Word had not become incarnate, giving us in the Spirit His filial relationship with the Father… Read more »

The truth sets us free – Bishop Galea-Curmi

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

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Tagħrfu l-verità, u l-verita teħliskom.” Dan hu l-kliem li Ġesù qal lil-Lhud f’wieħed mill-battibekki li kellu magħhom. Fl-Evanġelju ta’ San Ġwann insibu mumenti fejn Ġesù jagħmel diskursata sħiħa man-nies; huma jgħidulu ħaġa, u hu jgħidilhom ħaġa oħra. Hawn jgħidilhom: “Jekk iżommu fil-kelma tiegħi, tkunu tassew dixxipli tiegħu, u tagħrfu l-verità u l-verità teħliskom.” Huma ħaduha bi kbira li qed isemmi l-ħelsien, li jridu jinħelsu minn xi ħaġa… Read more »
