L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Jum il-Gradwazzjoni hu jum ta’ ferħ u sodisfazzjon għalikom, għeżież ħbieb, u għal dawk kollha li akkumpanjawkom tul is-snin fil-korsijiet tagħkom. Hu ta’ sodisfazzjon akbar speċjalment meta tqisu tant xkiel u diffikultajiet li kellkom tħabbtu wiċċkom magħhom f’dawn l-aħħar sentejn minħabba l-pandemija, li ħarbtet il-ħajja ta’ ħafna u kienet ta’ dannu għas-saħħa mentali ta’ ħafna.

Nixtieq minn qalbi nifirħilkom u nifraħ magħkom… Read more »

Your graduation must also be a message of hope – The Archbishop

Mass with the graduates of the University of Malta

08/03/2022   St John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Meta Ġesù jitkellem fuq Alla anke f’dan l-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna, jippreferi juża l-kelma ‘missier’: “Missierkom jaf x’teħtieġu” (Mt 6:8). “Jekk intom taħfru lill-bnedmin il-ħtijiet tagħhom, Missierkom li hu fis-smewwiet jaħfer lilkom ukoll” (Mt 6:14). Jalla lkoll kemm aħna għandna togħma tajba meta nisimgħu l-kelma ‘missier’. Forsi mhux dejjem hu l-każ imma nifhmu li l-paternità naturali u kull tip ta’ paternità oħra hi sejħa biex dak li jkun jieħu responsabbiltà imma fl-istess ħin jagħti libertà… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù jagħtina tagħlim importanti għar-Randan, it-tagħlim fuq it-talb ujavżana li t-talb mhux kwistjoni ta’ tlablib, jew inkella repetizzjonijiet kontinwa ta’ formoli. Tgħiduli: ‘imma fit-talba tar-Rużarju, mhux hekk nagħmlu, għandna t-talba tas-Sliema u l-Qaddisa u ngħiduha għal 50 darba, pereżempju? Ir-Rużarju jekk issir xi ħaġa mekkanika m’għandux valur, imma r-Rużarju hu mezz kif jgħinna nimmeditaw u nitolbu fuq il-misteri tal-ħajja ta’ Ġesù u tal-Madonna… Read more »
