Pope at Audience: Faith in resurrection helps us face death without fear

09/02/2022 The Vatican

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!

In last week’s catechesis, again inspired by Saint Joseph, we reflected on the meaning of the communion of saints. And leading on from this, today I would like to explore the special devotion the Christian people have always had for Saint Joseph as the patron saint of the good death. A devotion born of the thought that Joseph died cared for by the Virgin Mary and Jesus, before leaving the house of Nazareth… Read more »

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.

Have our beautiful traditions replaced the Word of God? – The Archbishop

08/02/2022 The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ma noqogħdux niskandalizzaw ruħna bil-Fariżej u l-kittieba. Ejjew inqisu li dan il-kliem Ġesù qiegħed jgħidu lilna. Nistaqsu lilna nfusna: aħna li għandna tant tradizzjonijiet u sbieħ, u tant aħna kburin bihom, imma dawn ħadu post il-Kelma t’Alla, ħadu post l-Evanġelju ta’ Ġesù? Jien nista’, pereżempju, inżeffen l-istatwi tal-qaddisin, imbagħad nidgħi? Nagħmel festa tal-qaddisin, imbagħad għandi lanzita, bir-rispett kollu, daqshiex għal ħija jew għal oħti… Read more »

Heal us, Lord – Bishop Galea-Curmi

07/02/2022 The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

San Mark, fl-Evanġelju tiegħu, kultant fi ftit kliem jiġbor il-ħidma kbira li kien qed jagħmel Ġesù man-nies. Fl-Evanġelju tal-lum naraw proprju dan: fi ftit kliem ġabar il-ħidma ta’ fejqan li Ġesù kien qed jagħmel fl-ibliet, fl-irħula, fil-kampanja – kullimkien.

Tolqtok f’din is-silta l-popolarità ta’ Ġesù man-nies – kulħadd ifittxu, kulħadd jinġabar madwaru. Ġesù l-popolarità qatt ma użaha għall-gwadann tiegħu, imma użaha biex jaqdi lin-nies, biex jagħmel il-ġid, biex ikun ta’ servizz għan-nies… Read more »
