L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Meta xi ħadd jiġi u jgħidilna “għandi aħbar tajba x’nagħtik”, aħna mhux biss inkunu kurjużi biex nisimgħu din l-aħbar, imma ġa jnissel fina ċertu ferħ. Ġesù, l-ewwel ħaġa li nsibu llum fl-Evanġelju skont San Mark, tkellem fuq l-Aħbar it-Tajba. Xandar l-Evanġelju ta’ Alla – ‘L-Evanġelju’ tfisser l-Aħbar it-Tajba. U lin-nies qalilhom: “Is-Saltna ta’ Alla waslet. Indmu u emmnu fl-Evanġelju”. Emmnu fl-Aħbar it-Tajba… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Lejn tmiem is-sena li għaddiet il-Papa Franġisku, bħalma jagħmel kull sena, għamel diskors lill-kollaboraturi tiegħu membri tal-Kurja Rumana. Ta’ kull sena nistennew il-kelma tal-Papa f’din l-okkażjoni għaliex f’din l-okkażjoni jirrifletti fuq l-attwalità dak li għaddejjin minnu.
Aħna ma nistgħux ninsew li qegħdin niċċelebraw din il-festa għażiża tal-konverżjoni tal-appostlu Missierna San Pawl f’din il-pandemija. Kulħadd liebes il-maskra u kulħadd ukoll ħosbien fuq dak li se jiġrilna… Read more »

Journalists reporting outside the Vatican (Vatican News)
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The invitation to “come and see”, which was part of those first moving encounters of Jesus with the disciples, is also the method for all authentic human communication. In order to tell the truth of life that becomes history (cf. Message for the 54th World Communications Day, 24 January 2020), it is necessary to move beyond the complacent attitude that we “already know” certain things… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Publiju kien il-‘Protos’, bil-Grieg jiġifieri l-ewwel, il-prinċep ta’ Malta, il-mexxej. F’dan ir-rakkont mill-Atti tal-Appostli, ir-rakkont tan-nawfraġju ta’ Pawlu u sħabu hawnhekk f’Malta, Publiju joħroġ tassew b’mod sabiħ u pożittiv.
Il-ktieb tal-Atti tal-Appostli jgħid li Publiju: “laqagħna u bil-qalb kollha żammna għandu”. Bħalma għamlu wkoll il-Maltin li: “ġiebu ruħhom magħna bi ħlewwa liema bħalha” u “laqgħuna”. Qalb it-tbatija kbira tan-nawfraġju – din is-sitwazzjoni verament kerha – joħroġ dan is-sabiħ, it-tajjeb enfasizzat mill-ktieb tal-Atti tal-Appostli fuq Publiju u l-Maltin… Read more »
