“We pray that those who are called to be fathers in Jesus’ name within the Church, do so in a spirit of service” – The Archbishop

02/03/2021   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Florian

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù għandu kliem iebes lejn min juża r-reliġjon — fil-każ tagħna l-Knisja — bħala sellum ta’ rikonoxximent. Meta nisimgħu lill-Papa Franġiksu, ħafna drabi nifhmu eżattament x’jrid jgħid Ġesù. Il-Papa għandu allerġija għal min jinqeda bil-Knisja biex jilħaq. Il-kelma ‘jinqeda’ hija kelma kemmxejn iebsa imma l-Papa ġieli jużaha.

Ġesù, bil-ħarsa ħanina imma għarfa tiegħu, iħares lejn uħud mill-Kittieba u l-Fariżej u jara din il-marda, dan il-virus tal-ambizzjoni, il-virus tal-għatx għar-rikonoxximent… Read more »

Free from chains – Bishop Galea-Curmi

01/03/2021   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Il-kliem ta’ Ġesù fl-Evanġelju llum huwa kliem li jidher diffiċli biex tgħixu. Ġesù qal li ma għandniex niġġudikaw, ma għandniex nikkundannaw, għandna naħfru, nagħtu u nħennu bħalma jħenn għalina Missierna tas-sema. Hu kliem li jidher diffiċli, imma hu dan li jgħid Ġesù li jista’ jġib il-paċi fil-qalb tagħna u s-serenità, u jgħinna biex inkunu ħielsa.

X’jiġifieri meta Ġesù jgħid li ma niġġudikawx u ma nikkundannawx? … Read more »

Talba għat-Tqarbina tax-Xewqa

Ġesù, jiena nemmen li Inti tinsab tabilħaqq fis-Sagrament tal-Ewkaristija. 
Irrid inħobbok fuq kollox u fuq kulħadd.
Inti taf li nixtieq nirċevik ġewwa fija.
Imma ġaladarba bħalissa ma nistax nilqgħek ġewwa fija sagramentalment,
nitolbok li tiġi fija spiritwalment.
Ejja għandi Ġesù tiegħi, biex jiena niġi għandek… Read more »

What happens on two mountains – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass on the Second Sunday of Lent

28/02/2021   The Parish Church of the Annunciation, Ħal Balzan

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Malta m’għandniex muntanji. Għandna xi għoljiet. Imma min xi darba ra muntanja, u kien ħdejn muntanja, jaf l-impressjoni kbira ta’ xi ħaġa immensa, enormi, li tara quddiemek. Xi ħaġa li qisha tgħollilek ħsiebek lejn is-sema.

Fl-Iskrittura hemm mumenti partikulari meta l-muntanja hi l-post fejn Alla juri lilu nnifsu, u fejn Alla jagħti wkoll messaġġ importanti lin-nies. Pereżempju, aħna familjari mal-muntanja Sinaj, fejn Alla ta l-kmandamenti lill-poplu Lhudi permezz ta’ Mosé… Read more »

Demanding but of great benefit to our lives – Bishop Galea-Curmi

26/02/2021   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Ġesù hu esiġenti – jitlob ħafna minna. Kliemu kultant jinstema’ iebes u diffiċli biex tgħixu. Kieku dal-kliem li smajna llum fl-Evanġelju jgħidu lil xi ħadd fi żmienna, ikun hemm min jgħidlu: taf x’qed tgħid? Taf kemm nies ma jagħtux kas dan li qed tgħid?

Imma nafu li Ġesù xorta jirrepetih lilna dan il-kliem, għax jaf li fl-aħħar mill-aħħar hu ta’ ġid għall-ħajja tagħna… Read more »
