Do not to tell this to anyone

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Naħseb ilkoll narawha stramba kif Ġesù jgħid lid-dixxipli tiegħu biex “ma jgħidu lil ħadd b’dan” (Lq 9:21). Pietru kien għadu kif qallu “Inti l-Messija ta’ Alla” (Lq 9:20), u Ġesù jgħid lilu u lid-dixxipli, anzi “ikkmandahom u qalilhom ħafna biex ma jgħidu lil ħadd b’dan”. Għaliex?

Mass on World Day of Migrants & Refugees

25/09/2022   The Chapel of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception, Baħrija

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Il-parabbola li għadna kemm smajna, Ġesù jgħidha lill-Fariżej, jgħidha lill-kapijiet, imma aħna nistgħu nifhmu li l-messaġġ tiegħu jgħodd għal kull wieħed u waħda minna.

Issa aħna nafu li wieħed mill-ħbieb il-kbar ta’ Ġesù kien jismu Lazzru wkoll u nistgħu nifhmu li l-għażla li Ġesù jagħmel f’din l-istorja li jirrakkonta, lill-fqir jagħtih l-isem ta’ wieħed mill-ħbieb il-kbar tiegħi… Read more »

Here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.
