No one and nothing before the Lord – Bishop Galea-Curmi

28/06/2022   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Xi kultant, fl-Evanġelju, naraw lil Ġesù qisu jġib ruħu ta’ bniedem diffiċli; ma jogħġbu xejn, jew fi tweġibiet tiegħu qisu diffiċli. U s-silta li qrajna llum, mill-Evanġelju skont San Mattew, għall-bidu tagħtina din l-impressjoni. Hawnhekk hawn tnejn min-nies li jitkellmu ma’ Ġesù, u tajjeb naraw u nifhmu x’qed jgħid Ġesù bit-tweġibiet tiegħu.

L-ewwel wieħed, li kien wieħed mill-kittieba, qallu: “Mgħallem, tmur fejn tmur, jien niġi warajk” (Mt 8:19)… Read more »

First Reading: Amos 3:1-8; 4:11-12
Psalm: 5:5-6,7,8

Gospel: Matthew 8:23-27

As Jesus got into a boat, his disciples followed him. Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by waves; but he was asleep. They came and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!” He said to them, “Why are you terrified, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great calm… Read more »

The law of patience and forgiveness – The Archbishop on the feast of the Redeemer

Mass and procession on the feast of the Redeemer

26/06/2022   The Basilica of the Nativity of Mary

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

“Meta Ġesù qorob għalih iż-żmien li fih kellu jittieħed mid-dinja” (Lq 9:51). Hekk jibda l-Evanġelju tal-lum. Qegħdin fil-kapitlu 9 ta’ San Luqa. San Luqa diġà jibda jkellimna fuq il-mument meta Ġesù jittieħed mid-dinja bil-passjoni ħarxa tiegħu, bil-mewt tiegħu fuq is-salib. Hu l-mument li nfakkruh b’din l-istatwa għażiża tar-Redentur. Wasal iż-żmien li jitgħabba bil-mard tagħna, bid-dnubiet tagħna, litteralment iġorrhom fuq spallejh… Read more »

Pope at Angelus: Only through dialogue can social peace be achieved

26/06/2022   St Peter's Square, the Vatican

Dear brothers and sisters, buongiorno!

The Gospel for this Sunday’s Liturgy tells us about a turning point. This is what it says: “When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he made a resolute decision to set his face to go to Jerusalem” (cf. Lk 9:51). Thus he begins his “great journey” toward the Holy City which required a special decision because it was his last one… Read more »

Rejection, commitment and perseverance – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass on the Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

26/06/2022   The Parish Church of the Annunciation, Ħal Balzan

Hemm tliet kelmiet li jiġbru din il-ġrajja li smajna llum fl-Evanġelju skont San Luqa, fejn lil Ġesù nsibuh b’rieda sħiħa miexi lejn Ġerusalemm. Huma kelmiet li huma ta’ għajnuna għalina li rridu nkunu dixxipli ta’ Ġesù, u nimxu warajh.

Hemmhekk ma laqgħuhx

L-ewwel nett il-kelma ‘rifjut’. Naqraw fl-Evanġelju l-kliem “Hemmhekk ma laqgħuhx”. Dan hu x’ġaralu Ġesù meta hu u sejjer lejn Ġerusalemm, ried jgħaddi f’raħal tas-Samarija… Read more »

The Lord comes with the power of his mercy – The Archbishop

Mass on the feast of the birth of St John Baptist

26/06/2022   St John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Huma diversi l-mumenti meta fit-talb tal-Knisja nsibu lil Ġwanni, it-tifel ta’ Żakkarija u ta’ Eliżabetta bħala l-protagonist jew wieħed mill-protagonisti. Illum qed niċċelebraw it-twelid tiegħu imma l-ewwel darba li niltaqgħu miegħu, għadu tarbija fil-ġuf, fil-festa tal-Viżitazzjoni, meta Marija maret iżżur il-qariba tagħha Eliżabetta. It-tarbija li kellha Eliżabetta fil-ġuf, li llum niċċelebraw it-twelid tagħha, qabżet bil-ferħ malli semgħet il-vuċi ta’ Marija ssellem lil Eliżabetta, xi ħaġa li Eliżabetta stess tgħid: “Malli smajt it-tislima tiegħek, it-tarbija li għandi fil-ġuf qabżet bil-ferħ” (Lq 1:44)… Read more »
