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 »

John was standing with two of his disciples; and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.

15/01/2021   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Żgur li kull min kien preżenti għal din il-ġrajja li jirrakkonta San Mark fl-Evanġelju tiegħu baqa’ mbellah b’dak li ra. Kien hemm dawk in-nies kollha, ġewwa u barra; imbagħad ħin minnhom fetħu s-saqaf u mit-toqba rawhom iniżżlu lill-mifluġ quddiem Ġesù. Naħseb qam għagħa sħiħ. Kienet ġurnata li żgur ma jinsewx! Speċjalment imbagħad meta dak ir-raġel li niżżluh hekk, ħareġ ’il barra mill-bieb jimxi… Read more »
