What does it mean not to judge? – Bishop Galea-Curmi

14/03/2022   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Din is-silta qasira mill-Evanġelju skont San Luqa għandha messaġġ qawwi ħafna għal ħajjitna, mhux biss għal xi ċirkustanza partikulari imma għall-ħajja ordinarja tagħna.

Ġesù lid-dixxipli tiegħu qed jgħidilhom: “Tiġġudikawx… tikkundannawx”. Aħna nafu li fil-ħajja tagħna kultant niġġudikaw u nikkundannaw, u jiġrilna hekk għax ngħaddu l-ġudizzji tagħna fuq dak li jidher minn barra, jew dak li nkunu smajna fuq xi ħadd, jew l-impressjoni li jkollna, u dan faċli jwassalna għal ġudizzju tal-persuna, anke tal-qalb tal-persuna… Read more »

Mass on the Second Sunday of Lent

13/03/2022   The Parish Church of the Annunciation, Ħal Balzan

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Il-ġrajja tat-Trasfigurazzjoni tal-Mulej fuq il-muntanja hi ġrajja li baqgħet stampata fil-moħħ u fil-qalb ta’ dawk it-tlett iħbieb ta’ ġewwa li Ġesù ħa miegħu – Pietru, Ġwanni u Ġakbu.

X’jiġri fuq din il-muntanja? Ġesù, jgħidilna San Luqa fl-Evanġelju, tela’ hemm bi skop: biex jitlob. U kien proprju huwa u jitlob li sseħħ bidla li jistgħu jarawha t-tlett iħbieb: fid-dehra ta’ wiċċu, u l-ilbiesi li saru ta’ bjuda li tgħammex… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Fl-Evanġelju tal-lum Ġesù jieħu tlieta mid-dixxipli għezież tiegħu, inzertaw tliet sajjieda: Pietru jew Xmun Pietru u ż-żewġt aħwa Ġakbu u Ġwanni, ulied Żebedew. Jeħodhom miegħu u jsejħilhom jitilgħu fuq muntanja. L-Evanġelju ta’ San Luqa jgħidilna li t-tradizzjoni tgħid li fuq il-Muntanja Tabor u l-Evanġelju ta’ San Luqa l-Mulej inġabar fit-talb. “Ġara li huwa hu jitlob id-dehra ta’ wiċċu tbiddlet u l-ilbiesi tiegħu saru ta’ bjuda li tgħammex” (Lq 9:29) … Read more »
