Search for God – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass on the feast of St Benedict

  The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

San Benedittu, twieled f’Norcia, l-Italja, għall-ħabta tas-sena 480. Hu wieħed mill-patruni tal-Ewropa. Kellu influwenza kbira fuq l-iżvilupp taċ-ċiviltà u l-kultura Ewropea. Imma jekk naraw ftit il-kuntest li fih twieled – qed ngħidu bejn il-ħames u s-sitt seklu – id-dinja kienet ta’ taħt fuq minħabba l-kriżi tal-valuri u tal-istituzzjonijiet, ikkawżata mill-waqgħa tal-Imperu Ruman, mill-invażjoni tal-popli, kif ukoll mit-tmermir tad-drawwiet. Dan kien il-kuntest li fih twieled San Benedittu… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Jumejn ilu kien hemm aħbar kerha li xxukkjat lil ħafna – fin-Nicaragua, is-sorijiet ta’ Madre Tereża, li kienu ilhom hemm 34 sena, ġew imkeċċija mill-pajjiż. Il-pulizija ġabruhom, ħaduhom fil-fruntiera mal-Costa Rica, u dawn qasmu għal dan il-pajjiż.

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Almenu għal darba Ġesù jiltaqa’ ma’ avukat bravu imma li xorta kellu bżonn jitgħallem xi ħaġa mingħand Ġesù. Dan l-avukat, dan l-għaref tal-Liġi, kellu fih ix-xewqa li għandna lkoll kemm aħna: “Kif nagħmel biex niret il-ħajja ta’ dejjem” (Lq 10:25). Dan ir-raġel, dan l-avukat, mhux biss ried jgħix imma ried jgħix għal dejjem. Ġesù juża l-għerf tiegħu u jgħidlu: “Fil-Liġi x’hemm miktub? … Read more »
