L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Nixtieq nibda billi nfakkarkom fir-rakkont tal-lejl tal-Milied. L-anġlu jidher lir-ragħajja u jgħidilhom: “Qed inħabbrilkom ferħ kbir […]. Illum, fil-belt ta’ Ġuda, tweldilkom salvatur” (Lq 2:10-11).

Ir-ragħajja li kienet kategorija pjuttost emarġinata, isiru l-ewwel nies li jisimgħu bit-twelid ta’ din it-tarbija li ta’ tmint ijiem semmewha Ġesù, u meta kiber, bħalma smajna fl-Evanġelju li għadna kemm qrajna mill-kapitlu 10 tal-Evanġelju ta’ San Ġwann, Ġesù jassoċja ruħu ma’ din il-kategorija… Read more »

I am the good shepherd… Read more »

A real presence, true food, and eternal life – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass in memorial of St George Martyr

23/04/2021   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Kif jista’ dan jagħtina ġismu biex nikluh?” Din kienet il-mistoqsija li bdew jagħmlu l-Lhud huma u jitħaddtu bejniethom. Ġesù kien għadu kif spjega: “Jiena hu l-ħobż ħaj li niżel mis-sema. Jekk xi ħadd jiekol minn dan il-ħobż jgħix għal dejjem.” Kif semgħu dal-kliem, bdew jgħidu: kif jista’ jkun dan?

U Ġesù jkompli jispjega u jenfasizza l-kliem li qal. Jitkellem b’mod ċar u jgħid: “Min jiekol ġismi u jixrob demmi għandu l-ħajja ta’ dejjem, u jien inqajmu mill-imwiet fl-aħħar jum.” Ġesù dejjem jitkellem ċar… Read more »

Readings of the day

First Reading: Acts 9, 1-20
Psalm: 116 (117), 1.2

Gospel: Jn 6, 52-59

In those days, the Jews disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. 

Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died… Read more »
