Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Fommu mitbuq u qalbu f’idu. Din naraha deskrizzjoni sabiħa u f’waqtha ta’ San Ġużepp. Meta tara fejn jissemma fl-Evanġelju, dejjem tarah bħala bniedem li qiegħed fil-kwiet, jagħmel dak li għandu jagħmel, jagħmlu bl-imħabba; imma qatt mhu fiċ-ċentru. Il-Papa Franġisku, fl-Ittra Appostolika li ħareġ B’qalb ta’ Missier (Patris corde), biex jistedinna f’din is-sena nirriflettu b’mod speċjali fuq dan il-qaddis, jgħid li hu kien dejjem qisu fid-dell; fid-dell, imma hemmhekk jagħmel dak li għandu jagħmel u jagħmlu b’ħafna mħabba… Read more »

In those days, some in the crowd who heard these words of Jesus said, “This is truly the Prophet.” Others said, “This is the Messiah.” But others said, “The Messiah will not come from Galilee, will he? Does not scripture say that the Messiah will be of David’s family and come from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?” So a division occurred in the crowd because of him… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Din is-sena l-festa għażiża ta’ San Ġużepp, li niċċelebraw ta’ kull sena fid-19 ta’ Marzu, għandha sinifikat profond. Il-Papa Franġisku li beda l-ministeru tiegħu bħala papa bħal-lum tmien snin, għax għażel il-festa ta’ San Ġużepp biex jibda l-ministeru tiegħu bħala papa, ħabbar li din is-sena hija ddedikata lil San Ġużepp.
Għalina hija sena li diffiċilment ninsewha minħabba wkoll is-saram tal-pandemija… Read more »

Talba għat-Tqarbina tax-Xewqa
Ġesù, jiena nemmen li Inti tinsab tabilħaqq fis-Sagrament tal-Ewkaristija.
Irrid inħobbok fuq kollox u fuq kulħadd.
Inti taf li nixtieq nirċevik ġewwa fija.
Imma ġaladarba bħalissa ma nistax nilqgħek ġewwa fija sagramentalment,
nitolbok li tiġi fija spiritwalment.
Ejja għandi Ġesù tiegħi, biex jiena niġi għandek… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Matul din l-aħħar tal-parti tar-Randan ser nisimgħu diversi siltiet mill-Evanġelju ta’ San Ġwann, ir-raba’ Evanġelju, li fihom Ġesù jidħol fid-djalogu mal-kapijiet, mal-Lhud. Proprjament il-kittieba tal-Liġi, il-Fariżej, dawk li b’xi mod kellhom iċ-ċavetta tat-tagħlim u kellhom ukoll il-poter, joħorġu x’inhu it-tagħlim tal-komunità. Ġesù jwissihom li għalkemm jafdaw fl-awtorità li Alla ta’ lil Mosé, huma jridu joqgħodu attenti mill-idolatrija, li minflok ifittxu lil Alla vera, ifittxu l-glorja tagħhom infushom… Read more »
