A strong link – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass on the fifth Sunday of Easter

  The Parish Church of the Annunciation, Ħal Balzan

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Min hu midħla tad-dwieli, jifhem mill-ewwel il-kliem ta’ Ġesù llum. Imma anke min ma jifhem xejn fid-dwieli, jista’ jifhem it-tixbiha ta’ Ġesù. Ġesù, biex ifisser ir-rabta tiegħu magħna u tagħna miegħu kif għandha tkun, jgħid: “Jiena d-dielja, intom il-friegħi”.

Ixebbah lilu nnifsu mad-dielja u aħna friegħi tiegħu li jkollna l-ħajja biss jekk magħqudin miegħu. Il-fergħa ma tgħixx b’ħajja differenti minn dik taz-zokk prinċipali… Read more »

“Lord, never let me be parted from you” – The Archbishop

Mass on the fifth Sunday of Easter

  The Chapel of Our Lady of Miracles, Ħal Lija

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù juża xbieha li għan-nies ta’ żmienu, imma anke għalina nies tal-Mediterran, hija faċli biex nifhmuha. Nafu li d-dielja li tagħmel frott bnin, l-għeneb li minnu aħna nieħdu l-inbid li jferraħ qalb il-bniedem, għandha bżonn iż-żabra. Imma nafu wkoll li jekk il-friegħi mhumiex imqabbdin mad-dielja qatt mhu se jagħmlu l-frott.

Għalhekk, il-Mulej jimmaġina li huwa d-dielja u Missieru huwa l-bidwi… Read more »

A hardworking man – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass on the feast of St Joseph the Worker

  The Parish Church of St Joseph the Worker, Birkirkara

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Il-vara sabiħa ta’ San Ġużepp Ħaddiem li hawn f’din il-parroċċa, li s-sena d-dieħla jaħbat il-50 sena minn meta waslet u ħarġet l-ewwel darba fil-purċissjoni, hi vara unika fost il-vari titulari ta’ pajjiżna għax hi l-unika waħda li turi lil San Ġużepp bħala ħaddiem. Meta tħares lejha, tinduna li diġà hemm messaġġ importanti ħafna għalina, għall-ħajja tagħna. Nixtieq li nħares biss lejn dettall partikulari ta’ din il-vara – iż-żewġ idejn ta’ San Ġużepp, par idejn bieżla, li juruk diġà min-naħa San Ġużepp li hu l-missier putattiv ta’ Ġesù, u min-naħa l-oħra San Ġużepp mastrudaxxa, San Ġużepp ħaddiem… Read more »
