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

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

L-Evanġelji li se nibdew nisimgħu f’dan iż-żmien tal-Għid jippruvaw jispjegawlna mhux biss xi tfisser li Ġesù qam mill-mewt imma wkoll xi tfisser il-magħmudija għax aħna, permezz tal-magħmudija dħalna fil-misteru, fir-realtà tal-mewt u l-qawmien ta’ Ġesù mill-imwiet.

Hekk nagħmlu wkoll fis-sagrament tal-qrar, fis-sagrament tal-griżma tal-morda, hekk nagħmlu f’kull quddiesa li niċċelebraw. Aħna minn hawn u ftit ieħor se ngħidu ‘nfakkru l-mewt tiegħek, inħabbru bil-ferħ il-qawmien tiegħek’… Read more »

Gospel: John 3:7b-15

Jesus said to Nicodemus: “’You must be born from above.’ The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus answered and said to him, “How can this happen?”

Proclaimer of the Gospel – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass on the feast of St Mark

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

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

San Mark hu wieħed mill-erba’ evanġelisti. Kien il-kuġin ta’ San Barnaba, u fil-fatt narawh flimkien ma’ Barnaba u Pawlu f’wieħed mill-vjaġġi missjunarji tagħhom. Imbagħad kien hemm xi żmien li kien hemm nuqqas ta’ ftehim, kif naqraw fl-Atti tal-Appostli Kapitlu 15, u spiċċa hu jmur ma’ Barnaba, u Pawl band’oħra. Imma iktar ’l quddiem naraw li jerġgħu flimkien. San Pawl fit-Tieni Ittra lil Timotju jgħidlu: “Ħu ’l Marku u ġibu miegħek għax hu jiswieli ħafna għall-ministeru” (2 Tim 4:11)… Read more »

Divine mercy often makes us aware of the sufferings of our neighbour – Pope Francis

  St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican

Today the risen Lord appears to the disciples. To those who had abandoned him he offers his mercy and shows his wounds. The words he speaks to them are punctuated with a greeting that we hear three times in the Gospel: “Peace be with you!” (Jn 20:19.21.26). Peace be with you! These are the words of the risen Jesus as he encounters every human weakness and error… Read more »
