Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Jesus revealed to his disciples the deepest meaning of his mission when he told them of his passion, death and resurrection, in fulfilment of the Father’s will. He then called the disciples to share in this mission for the salvation of the world.
In our Lenten journey towards Easter, let us remember the One who “humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross” (Phil 2:8)… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Ġesù jagħmel ħiltu kollha biex jgħix ir-rieda tal-Missier u r-rieda tal-Missier hija s-salvazzjoni tal-poplu tiegħu, ta’ Iżrael. Iktar ’il quddiem jagħraf ukoll li huwa mibgħut għall-ġnus.
F’din l-ewwel laqgħa ma’ rappreżentanta tal-ġnus, din il-mara Griega, Sirofeniċja min-nisel tagħha, Ġesù jidħol f’kunflitt. Qed titolbu l-għajnuna. Mhijiex parti mill-poplu ta’ Iżrael. Imma l-umiltà tagħha tipperswadih mill-fidi tagħha. Hi lesta tilqa’ wkoll il-loqom li jaqa’ mill-mejda ta’ Iżrael u tissieħeb mal-fidi f’Alla li huwa ħaj għaliex f’Ġesù tara dak li jista’ jgħinha… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Aktarx ma hawn imkien ieħor fid-dinja fejn jiċċelebraw nawfraġju. Li jfakkru nawfraġju li jkun sar, iva, imma ħafna drabi jfakkruh minħabba l-ħsara li jkun ħalla u l-imwiet tan-nies.
Aħna mhux infakkru nawfraġju, imma niċċelebraw in-nawfraġju ta’ San Pawl. U niċċelebrawh mhux biss għax dakinhar in-nies kollha li kienu fuq il-ġifen salvaw, imma niċċelebrawh l-aktar għax dan kien ifisser li Malta laqgħet il-fidi fi Kristu… Read more »

Huwa u sejjer kif qorob lejn Damasku, f’daqqa waħda” madwar Sawl, Lhudi minn Tarsu, Pawlu ċittadin Ruman, “idda madwaru dawl mis-sema. Waqa’ fl-art u sema leħen jgħidlu: ‘Sawl, Sawl għaliex qiegħed tippersegwitani?’ ‘Min int, Mulej?‘ U l-leħen wieġbu: ‘Jiena Ġesu li int qiegħed tippersegwitah imma issa qum u idħol il-belt u hemmhekk jgħidulek x’għandek tagħmel’ Dawk li kienu sejrin miegħu baqgħu mbikkma billi kienu semgħu l-leħen imma ma raw lil ħadd… Read more »
Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!
In the preceding catechesis we saw how Christian prayer is “anchored” in the Liturgy. Today, we will shed light on how the Liturgy always enters daily life: on the streets, in offices, on public transportation… And there it continues the dialogue with God: the person who prays is like someone in love who always bears the beloved in his or her heart wherever they go… Read more »
