A person in the womb – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass on the feast of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary

  The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

F’diversi ġrajjiet fl-Evanġelju tolqotna kif Marija hi dejjem fis-skiet u fil-kwiet. Meta dehrilha l-anġlu Gabrijel, u hi aċċettat li ssir omm Alla, hemm ċerta serenità li toħroġ mir-rakkont; anke meta naraw lil Marija taħt is-salib. L-Evanġelju jgħid li hi kienet “tgħożż f’qalbha” dak li qed tgħix. Hemm ċertu kwiet, skiet.

Lil Marija nsibuha differenti fir-rakkont tal-lum fejn narawha mgħaġġla… Read more »

An inspirational gift of self – The Archbishop

Mass during which Sr Lorna Cassar made her temporary profession with the Qaddejja taċ-Ċenaklu

  Id-Dar tal-Kleru, Birkirkara

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Imqanqla mill-Ispirtu s-Santu, Sidtna Marija, malli tisma’ li l-qariba tagħha Santa Eliżabetta tinsab fis-sitt xahar tat-tqala tagħha, għax hekk qalilha l-Anġlu Gabrijel, “qamet u marret tħaffef lejn l-għoljiet” (Lq 1:39). Il-Knisja llum titlob għall-Poplu ta’ Alla d-don tad-doċilità, lejn l-ispirazzjonijiet tal-Mulej, lejn il-vuċi tal-Ispirtu s-Santu. F’dan ir-rakkont minn San Luqa, l-Ispirtu s-Santu huwa protogonista. “Malli Eliżabetta semgħet lil Marija ssellmilha, it-tarbija qabżet fil-ġuf tagħha u Eliżabetta mtliet bl-Ispirtu s-Santu” (Lq 1:41)… Read more »
