The recipe for a pure heart – The Archbishop

12/10/2021   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù jagħtina riċetta sabiħa għal qalb safja. Mhix kwistjoni ta’ kif nidhru, mhix kwistjoni ta’ x’jaħsbu fuqna n-nies. Dak kollu hu li jidher minn barra, imma hu l-qalb, il-qalb li Alla jafha, jaraha. Ħin minnhom jgħid: “U Missierkom li jara fil-moħbi, iroddulkom”. “Agħtu karità minn dak li hemm ġewwa, minn qalbek u taraw kif kollox ikunilkom nadif” (Lq 11:41).

L-Iskrittura wkoll tgħid li l-imħabba, il-karità, l-għajnuna lill-fqar tgħatti ħafna dnubiet… Read more »

The best sign – Bishop Galea-Curmi

11/10/2021   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Il-profeta Ġona hu dak li Ġesù jsemmi fil-bidu u fl-aħħar tal-Evanġelju tal-lum, u speċjalment jenfasizza s-“sinjal ta’ Ġona”. Dan għaliex kien qed jitkellem ma’ nies li riedu sinjal mingħandu. Issa hu kien diġà għamel ħafna sinjali, bil-mirakli li għamel. Imma dawn riedu sinjal spettakolari, xi ħaġa li tgħaġġeb lil kulħadd. U Ġesù jgħidilhom: ebda sinjal ma jingħata lil dan in-nisel ħlief is-sinjal ta’ Ġona… Read more »
