Love drives us – Bishop Galea-Curmi

03/06/2022   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Id-djalogu bejn Ġesù u Pietru, fix-xatt ta’ Tiberija hu djalogu sabiħ ħafna. Hawnhekk Ġesù għal tliet darbiet jistaqsi lil Pietru jekk iħobbux – “tħobbni int?” u fil-bidu jistaqsi, “tħobbni int, aktar minn dawn?” Għaliex jistaqsih għal tliet darbiet? Mhux għax ma semax it-tweġiba, jew għax ma fehemhiex. U Pietru kien ċar fit-tweġiba: “Iva, Mulej, int taf li nħobbok”. Ħafna jaraw ir-rabta bejn din l-istqarrija għal tliet darbiet u ċ-ċaħda li għamel Pietru għal tliet darbiet fil-Passjoni ta’ Ġesù, meta ċaħad li jaf lil Ġesù… Read more »

The current senseless war against Ukraine has brought to the fore the importance of being less reliant on fossil fuels and the importance of agricultural activity that feeds populations… Read more »

https://youtu.be/TB7zYl4j89s L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù qal dan id-diskors – qegħdin naqraw mill-kapitlu 17 tal-Evanġelju ta’ San Ġwann – ftit qabel ma ġie arrestat u bdiet il-passjoni ħarxa tiegħu, ftit wara li waqqaf is-sagrament tal-Ewkaristija u tana wkoll il-kmandament tal-imħabba.
