Freedom of heart and generosity – Bishop Galea-Curmi

13/06/2022   The Archbishop's Seminary Church, Tal-Virtù, Rabat

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Jien ngħidilkom biex bniedem ħażin ma tiqfulux”. Dan hu li Ġesù jgħid illum lid-dixxipli tiegħu fl-Evanġelju skont San Mattew. Żgur li din tinstema’ stramba. Kif lill-bniedem ħażin ma tiqaflux? Jekk bniedem qed jagħmel il-ħsara, qed iweġġa’ lil ħaddieħor – rajna llum fl-ewwel qari bniedem li jagħmel il-ħażin – jekk bniedem juża l-vjolenza kontra ħaddieħor, ma tiqaflux, tħallih jagħmel li jrid?

Nistgħu nifhmu aħjar il-kliem li qed jgħid Ġesù hawnhekk meta niftakru dak li għedna fis-salm, fejn għedna: “Għax int m’intix Alla li tħobb il-ħażen, il-ħażin ma jsibx postu għandek”… Read more »

An embracing love – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass on the solemnity of the Holy Trinity

12/06/2022   The Chapel of Our Lady of the Abondoned

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“X’inhu l-bniedem biex tiftakar fih, bin il-bniedem biex taħseb fih?” Hekk għedna lill-Mulej fis-Salm illum aħna u nfaħħruh u ngħidulu: “Mulej, Sid tagħna, kemm hu kbir ismek fl-art kollha!”

Dan hu t-tifħir li nagħtu lill-Mulej illum fis-solennità tat-Trinità Qaddisa. Aħna nfaħħru l-isem ta’ Alla, kbir fl-art kollha, Alla li hu t-Trinità – il-Missier, l-Iben u l-Ispirtu s-Santu. Hu dan l-isem ta’ Alla li nsejħu kontinwament meta rroddu s-salib, u li nsejħu wkoll f’ħafna mit-talb tal-quddiesa, u dan ukoll li nfaħħru meta ngħidu: “Glorja lill-Missier u lill-Iben u lill-Ispirtu s-Santu”… Read more »

Ix-xogħlijiet fuq il-Mużew Ekkleżjastiku fil-Mellieħa mistennija jkunu lesti sal-aħħar tas-sena. Il-proġett qed isir mill-Fondazzjoni għall-Patrimonju Kulturali tal-Arċidjoċesi ta’ Malta b’investiment ta’ kważi €300,000 u hu ffinanzjat parzjalment mill-Fond Ewropew għall-Iżvilupp Reġjonali.

Is-Segretarju Amministrattiv tal-Arċidjoċesi ta’ Malta Michael Pace Ross u l-Arċipriet tal-Mellieħa Dun Joe Caruana flimkien mas-Segretarju Parlamentari għall-Fondi Ewropej Chris Bonett żaru dawn ix-xogħlijiet fil-binja tal-Pellegrini fil-Mellieħa.  

Fuq il-post ġie spjegat li fl-imgħoddi din il-binja kienet tintuża bħala post ta’ mistrieħ mill-pellegrini li kienu jżuru l-Madonna tal-Mellieħa wara vjaġġ twil ħafna, meta ma kienx hawn il-mezzi tat-trasport kif għandna llum… Read more »
