Inauguration of a monument to commemorate the elderly victims of Covid-19

19/07/2022   Tas-Sliema

Il-President ta’ Malta George Vella inawgura monument f’Tas-Sliema li jfakkar lill-anzjani li tilfu ħajjithom matul il-pandemija tal-Covid-19. Il-President qal li din il-pandemija kienet kiefra għall-anzjani, l-aktar dawk f’residenzi jew l-isptarijiet minħabba n-nuqqas ta’ kuntatt fiżiku ma’ dawk l-aktar qrib tagħhom.

Appella biex bħala soċjetà nsibu mezz ta’ kif insaħħu l-preżenza tagħna fil-ħajja tal-anzjani. “Kull wieħed u waħda minna jista’ jagħti sehmu biex il-kwalità tal-ħajja tal-anzjani tagħna tmur dejjem għall-aħjar,” qal il-President… Read more »

We have the definitive sign – Bishop Galea-Curmi

18/07/2022   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Mgħallem, xtaqna kieku naraw sinjal mingħandek” (Mt 12:38). Din kienet it-talba li għamlu xi wħud mill-kittieba u l-Fariżej, kif naqraw fl-Evanġelju skont San Mattew illum, talba li għamlu lil Ġesù. Għall-bidu tidher qisha talba pulita – jixtiequ jaraw sinjal – imma r-reazzjoni ta’ Ġesù hija reazzjoni ħarxa, għax jgħid għalihom “nisel ħażin u infidil” (Mt 12:39).

Għaliex din ir-reazzjoni qawwija ta’ Ġesù? … Read more »

17/07/2022   St Peter's Square, the Vatican

Dear brothers and sisters, buongiorno!

The Gospel of this Sunday’s Liturgy presents us with a lively domestic scene with Martha and Mary, two sisters who extend their hospitality to Jesus in their home (cf. Lk 10:38-42). Martha immediately sets about welcoming the guests, whereas Mary sits at Jesus’ feet to listen to him. Then Martha turns to the Master and asks him to tell Mary to help her… Read more »

Mass on the 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time

17/07/2022   The Chapel of the Sacred Heart, Ħal Qormi

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Żgur li ħadd minna ma jlum lil Marta li lmentat ma’ Ġesù, kif naqraw fl-Evanġelju skont San Luqa llum, li x-xogħol li kellha tagħmel id-dar waqa’ fuqha biss, u oħtha, li kienet hemm, ma kinitx qed tgħin. Qaltlu: “Mulej, m’intix tara kif oħti ħalliet ix-xogħol kollu fuqi biss? Mela għidilha taqbad tagħmel xi ħaġa miegħi!” (Lq 10:40) Nifhmuha, għax kultant jiġri hekk, anke fil-ħajja tal-familja… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

“Nimxu warajk kull fejn teħodna, Verġni Marija!” Kemm hu sabiħ dan ir-responsorju li għadna kemm tlabna, f’din il-quddiesa solenni fil-festa tal-Madonna tal-Karmnu.
