L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Ili daqshekk magħkom, Filippu, u għadek ma għaraftnix?” (Ġw 14:9) Dan hu l-kliem li smajna lil Ġesù jgħid fl-Evanġelju tal-lum. Hawn qiegħed fl-Aħħar Ċena. Qisu Ġesù ħadha bi kbira għax Filippu kien għadu kif qallu “Mulej, urina l-Missier, u jkun biżżejjed għalina” (Ġw 14:8). U Ġesù qallu: int ilek tant miegħi u għadek ma għaraftnix, li jien fil-Missier u l-Missier fija? … Read more »

In those days, Jesus said to his disciples: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid. You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I am coming to you.’

If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you this before it occurs, so that when it does occur, you may believe. I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming… Read more »

A strong link – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass on the fifth Sunday of Easter

02/05/2021   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

02/05/2021   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 »
