Lord, free us from hatred – Bishop Galea-Curmi

04/02/2022 The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Saret tobogħdu”. Din hi l-kelma li smajna fl-Evanġelju skont San Mark fuq Erodja, li kienet miżżewġa lil Filippu imma mbagħad telqitu biex tmur toqgħod ma’ ħuh, ma’ Erodi. Lilu, lil Erodi, Ġwanni l-Battista kien jgħidlu: “Ma tistax iżżommha int il-mara ta’ ħuk”. Minħabba f’hekk, Erodja saret tobogħdu, u bdiet taħseb b’liema mod tista’ teliminah. Imbagħad wasal il-jum meta Erodi għalaq żmienu, u għamel ikla, u t-tifla tagħha żifnet quddiem Erodi u dan tant ħa gost li qalilha: ‘Nagħtik kulma titlobni’… Read more »

Pope at Audience: The Church is the community of saved sinners

02/02/2022 The Vatican

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!

In recent weeks we have been able to deepen our understanding of the figure of Saint Joseph, guided by the few but important pieces of information given in the Gospels, and also by the aspects of his personality that the Church over the centuries has been able to highlight through prayer and devotion. Starting precisely from this sentire commune (“common feeling”) of the Church that has accompanied the figure of St Joseph, today I would like to focus on an important article of faith that can enrich our Christian life and also shape our relationship with the saints and with our deceased loved ones in the best possible way: I am talking about the communion of saints… Read more »

The anointing of the sick brings much spiritual blessing and healing – The Archbishop

03/02/2022 The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù jagħti l-istruzzjonijiet missjunarji. Qed jibgħat lit-Tnax, l-ewwel grupp u l-iżjed grupp viċin tiegħu, jibgħathom tnejn tnejn biex ikunu ta’ sapport għal xulxin u jagħtihom setgħa speċjali, setgħa fuq l-ispirti ħżiena.

Iwissihom imma biex ma jagħmlux l-iżball li jiddependu fuq l-affarijiet li għandhom magħhom. Il-Mulej se jieħu ħsiebhom. Allura għandhom bżonn il-ħatar għat-triq, l-għasluġ li jwennes is-saqajn għajjiena, ir-riġlejn li jegħjew imma mbagħad iridu jitgħallmu jilqgħu dak li jagħtuhom il-familji li jilqgħuhom għandhom… Read more »
