In those days, when Jesus had heard that John was delivered up, he retired into Galilee: And leaving the city Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capharnaum on the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim; That it might be fulfilled which was said by Isaias the prophet: Land of Zabulon and land of Nephthalim, the way of the sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles: The people that sat in darkness, hath seen great light: and to them that sat in the region of the shadow of death, light is sprung up… Read more »
It is God that fills our hearts – Bishop Galea-Curmi
Mass on the Epiphany
03/01/2021 The Parish Church of the Annunciation, Ħal BalzanL-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Il-ġrajja tal-maġi li ġew mil-Lvant ifittxu lil Ġesù nifhmuha ħafna aktar meta narawha f’kuntrast bejn dawn il-maġi u Erodi. Il-maġi telqu mill-bogħod, staqsew u fittxew biex jaslu għand Ġesù; u Erodi, li kien is-sultan, lil Ġesù ried jeliminah.
Il-kuntrast
Minn banda għandek dawn il-maġi li b’ġenwinità qegħdin ifittxu li jaslu għand Ġesù biex iqimuh; u min-naħa l-oħra Erodi li wkoll qed ifittex li jasal għand Ġesù, imma biex jeqirdu… Read more »

Mass on the Epiphany and the installation of Ministries of Lector and Acolyte
03/01/2021 St John's Co-Cathedral, VallettaL-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Il-festa tal-Epifanija, din li qegħdin niċċelebraw illum, aħna l-Maltin nafuha wkoll bħala t-Tre Re, it-tliet slaten li żaru lil Ġesù. Huwa mument importanti fil-ħajja tal-Knisja meta wara l-Evanġelju, bħalma għadna kemm smajna, titħabbar id-data tal-Għid il-Kbir. Il-festi tal-Milied jiġu konklużi billi nħarsu lejn il-misteru kbir tal-mewt u l-qawmien mill-imwiet ta’ Ġesù.
Wara kollox, huwa dan li jattira lis-slaten maġi — li jirrapreżentaw il-ġnus kollha — biex ifittxu din it-tarbija… Read more »

Aħna u nirringrazzjaw lil Alla flimkien illum f’din iċ-ċelebrazzjoni tal-quddiesa, u nirringrazzjawh tal-għajnuna li tana matul is-sena li għaddiet – li għal ħafna kienet partikolarment diffiċli minħabba l-pandemija u dak kollu li ġabet magħha – hi okkażjoni llum li nħarsu ’l quddiem lejn din is-sena li qed nibdew.
