Serving God not money – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

Mass on the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time

18/09/2022   The Parish Church of the Annunciation, Ħal Balzan

L-amministratur li kellu r-raġel għani, li Ġesù jsemmi fil-parabbola fl-Evanġelju llum, kien jimxi b’mod diżonest. Xlewh li kien qed iberbaq il-ġid ta’ sidu, u jidher li din ma kinetx akkuża falza imma kien hemm verità f’din l-akkuża; fil-fatt, baqa’ jimxi b’mod diżonest sal-aħħar. Biex jgħatti xturu, beda jiftiehem ma’ min kellu jagħti xi ħaġa lis-sid – jissemmew iż-żejt u l-qamħ – biex jikteb inqas, u hekk iqarraq hemm ukoll… Read more »

First Reading: Proverbs 3:27-34
Psalm: 14 (15):2-3ab,3cd-4ab,5

Gospel: Luke 8:16-18

“No one after lighting a lamp hides it under a jar, or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light. For nothing is hidden that will not be disclosed, nor is anything secret that will not become known and come to light. Then pay attention to how you listen; for to those who have, more will be given; and from those who do not have, even what they seem to have will be taken away.”

Truth and beauty cannot be bought with money – The Archbishop

Mass on the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time

18/09/2022   The Chapel of St Mary, Bir Miftuħ, Gudja

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù jpoġġilna għażla diffiċli llum quddiemna: il-flus jew hu. Diffiċli ħafna anke għax aħna nifhmu li l-flus għandna bżonnhom. Imma li taħli ħajtek – ħa nuża din il-frażi ‘taħli ħajtek’ – li tiġri wara l-flus, mingħajr ma tgawdiha, hi bluha kbira. Għax donnu taħseb li l-ħajja mhu se tispiċċa qatt, ma jasal qatt il-mument meta trid tagħti kont tal-amministrazzjoni tiegħek… Read more »
