30/03/2021   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Illum u għada l-Evanġelju jfakkarna fil-qalb maqsuma ta’ Ġesù, nisimgħu dwar it-tradiment ta’ Ġuda għaċ-ċaħda ta’ Pietru. Faċli nippuntaw subgħajna lejn dawn iż-żewġ appostli. Wieħed ittradieh u l-ieħor ċaħdu. L-oħrajn — barra d-dixxiplu l-maħbub li huwa wkoll protagonista fl-Evanġelju tal-lum — jaħarbu u jħalluh waħdu.

M’hemmx ħafna x’tagħżel! F’dawn iż-żewġ personaġġi naraw ukoll lilna nfusna. Tajjeb li llum u għada naħsbu ftit f’kemm-il darba lill-Mulej abbandunajnieh, ċħadnieh, u konna tradituri tiegħu… Read more »

A book that gives you hope

30/03/2021

Nhar il-Ħamis 25 ta’ Marzu, Patri Mario Attard OFM Cap, Patri Franġikan Kapuċċin, ħareġ ktieb ġdid bl-isem Ilħna mill-Onkoloġija.

Bħala wieħed mill-kappillani taċ-Ċentru tal-Onkoloġija Sir Anthony Mamo, Patri Mario kuljum jara ħafna tbatija ta’ dawk kollha li għaddejjin mill-vjaġġ iebes tal-marda tal-kanċer. Bħalma nafu din il-marda tolqot mhux biss lill-persuna fid-dimensjonijiet kollha tagħha imma wkoll lill-għeżież familjari tagħha.

Għalhekk, f’dan il-ktieb, Patri Mario jitħaddet mill-esperjenza tad-dinja tal-onkoloġija… Read more »

The fragrant scent of generosity – Bishop Galea-Curmi

29/03/2021   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Id-dar imtliet bir-riħa tfuħ”. Hekk naqraw fl-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann, f’dan ir-rakkont meta Marija, oħt Lazzru, ħadet fwieħa tan-nard pur, tiswa ħafna, u b’din il-fwieħa dilket riġlejn Ġesù. Kien ġest li juri l-imħabba kbira li hi kellha lejn Ġesù.

Marija kienet tħobbu tassew lil Ġesù. Niftakru dak ir-rakkont fl-Evanġelju skont San Luqa, meta Ġesù mar għandha u għand Marta… Read more »

Pope on Palm Sunday: Let us ask for the grace to be amazed

29/03/2021

Every year this liturgy leaves us amazed: we pass from the joy of welcoming Jesus as he enters Jerusalem to the sorrow of watching him condemned to death and then crucified. That sense of interior amazement will remain with us throughout Holy Week. Let us reflect more deeply on it.

From the start, Jesus leaves us amazed. His people give him a solemn welcome, yet he enters Jerusalem on a lowly colt… Read more »
