L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Din is-silta mill-Evanġelju ta’ San Mattew tiġbor tliet kelmiet ta’ Ġesù li mhux bilfors jingħaqdu bejniethom imma l-Evanġelju tal-lum jippreżentahomlna t-tlieta li huma.
L-ewwel kelma ta’ Ġesù hi biex nitgħallmu napprezzaw il-ġid kollu li għamel magħna u jqabblu ma’ dak kollu li hu qaddis: il-ġawhra. Ħafna drabi Ġesù jfakkarna li s-saltna ta’ Alla, il-paċi li jagħtina hu, huma prezzjużi daqs ġawhra fina li xi ħadd isib waqt li qed ifittex ġawhar prezzjuż jew teżor moħbi f’għalqa… Read more »
“Il‑ferħ tal‑Knisja hu li tevanġelizza” huwa s‑suġġett li ntagħżel għall‑Aġġornament tal‑Kleru 2022 sabiex is‑saċerdoti djoċesani u reliġjużi jsaħħu l‑mixja flimkien bħala Knisja f’Malta. Dan sar f’rabta mal‑proċess tas‑Sinodu fuq is‑sinodalità li nieda l‑Papa Franġisku sabiex jissaħħaħ is‑sens ta’ komunjoni, parteċipazzjoni u missjoni fil‑Knisja kollha madwar id‑dinja.
Għal dawn it‑tlitt ijiem ta’ aġġornament ġew mistiedna diversi professjonisti li għenu lis‑saċerdoti jirriflettu fuq kif għandna nerġgħu niskopru l‑qalba tal‑fidi tagħna u kif il‑Knisja għandha toħroġ miċ‑ċirku tagħha u ma tibżax taqbad toroq ġodda ta’ kif ixxandar l‑Evanġelju… Read more »

Psalm: 47 (48):2-3a,3b-4,10-11
Gospel: Mt 7:6,12-14
Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not give what is holy to dogs, or throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them underfoot, and turn and tear you to pieces. Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets.”

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Tiġġudikawx”. Din hi l-kelma li qal Ġesù lid-dixxipli tiegħu fl-Evanġelju llum, u li jgħid lilna lkoll. Aħna nafu kemm ħsara ssir kultant bil-ġudizzji, ġudizzji fuq persuni. Ġesù qed jgħid lid-dixxipli tiegħu b’enfasi biex ma jiġġudikawx. Kultant nifhmu kemm hi kerha din – li wieħed jgħaddi ġudizzju – meta aħna stess inkunu vittmi tal-ġudizzji ta’ ħaddieħor.
Hawnhekk Ġesù jsemmi żewġ affarijiet b’tixbiha, biex joħroġ ċar il-messaġġ tiegħu… Read more »

Dear brothers and sisters, buongiorno and blessed Sunday!
Today in Italy and in other countries, the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ is celebrated. Instituted during the Last Supper, the Eucharist was like the destination of a journey along which Jesus had prefigured it through several signs, above all the multiplication of the loaves narrated in the Gospel of today’s Liturgy (cf. Lk. 9:11b-17)… Read more »
