Psalm: 26 (27), 1.4.13-14
Gospel: Lk 4, 31-37
In those days, Jesus went down to Capernaum, a city in Galilee, and was teaching them on the sabbath. They were astounded at his teaching, because he spoke with authority.
In the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, “Let us alone! … Read more »
So as not to fail – Bishop Galea-Curmi
30/08/2021 The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, FlorianaL-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Nixtieqkom tinnutaw ftit x’ġara f’din il-ġrajja mill-Evanġelju skont San Luqa, meta Ġesù jmur lura Nażaret fejn kien trabba, u jidħol fis-sinagoga. Meta jidħol hemmhekk, u jieħu dik is-silta mill-Profeta Iżaija li tħabbar il-missjoni tiegħu, l-Evanġelju jgħid li “lkoll laqgħu kliemu u stagħġbu għall-kliem mimli ħlewwa li kien ħiereġ minn fommu”. Reazzjoni sabiħa, pożittiva. Jilqgħu l-kelma.
Imma mbagħad, ftit wara, meta Ġesù jispjega aktar fid-dettall, tinbidel għal kollox ir-reazzjoni tagħhom… Read more »

F’dan iż-żmien ta’ pandemija li għexna u għadna qed ngħixu, kemm-il darba fakkarna lil xulxin kemm hemm bżonn insegwu l-miżuri għall-ħarsien tas-saħħa, fosthom il-ħasil tal-idejn, l-użu tas-sanitiser, eċċ. Imma wkoll daż-żmien fakkarna li hemm xi miżuri li tajjeb li nsegwuhom, anke meta ma jkunx hawn pandemija. Waħda minnhom hi l-ħasil tal-idejn, u l-ħasil tal-idejn qabel l-ikel. Hekk aħna mdorrijin nagħmlu, u hekk għandna nagħmlu u hi ħaġa tajba, u hekk jgħallmu l-ġenituri lit-tfal tagħhom mindu żgħar… Read more »
Redeeming love – Bishop Galea-Curmi
Mass on the feast of St Julian
29/08/2021 The Parish Church of St Julian's, St Julian'sL-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
San Ġiljan hu qaddis li ħalla impressjoni kbira tul is-snin. Jingħad li f’Malta d-devozzjoni lejh bdiet fis-seklu 15. Għalkemm ma nafux ħafna dettalji storiċi fuq ħajtu, ħajtu hi espressa f’diversi poeżiji, pitturi u rappreżentazzjonijiet artistiċi oħra, speċjalment fil-Medju Evu. Fi Franza, fil-Katidral ta’ Rouen, u fil-Katidral ta’ Chartres, hemm ħġieġ bl-istained-glass sbieħ ħafna bl-istorja ta’ ħajtu.
X’ninnutaw f’dan kollu? … Read more »
Pope at Angelus: look at life starting from the heart
29/08/2021Dear Brothers and Sisters, Buongiorno!
The Gospel for today’s liturgy shows a few scribes and Pharisees amazed by Jesus’ attitude. They are scandalized because his disciples pick up food without first performing the traditional ritual ablutions. They think among themselves “This way of doing things is contrary to the religious practice” (cf. Mk 7:2-5).
We too can ask ourselves: why do Jesus and his disciples disregard these traditions? … Read more »
