I didn’t choose perfect people – Bishop Galea-Curmi

28/10/2022 The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Għadda l-lejl fit-talb lil Alla” (Lq 6:12). Dan hu li naqraw illum fl-Evanġelju skont San Luqa fuq Ġesù, li tela’ fuq l-għoljiet waħdu, u għamel ħin twil hemmhekk jitlob. Ma kinetx l-unika darba li Ġesù mar waħdu biex jitlob. San Luqa jgħidilna fl-Evanġelju tiegħu fuq l-importanza tat-talb għal Ġesù, u fuq kif Ġesù kien ukoll għallem lid-dixxipli tiegħu kif jitolbu. Imma din iċ-ċirkustanza kienet speċjali, għax wara dak il-ħin ta’ talb, meta sebaħ, l-ewwel ma għamel Ġesù hu li sejjaħ lejh id-dixxipli tiegħu… Read more »

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things.
I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

Jesus came to Seek and Save the Lost – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass on the 31st Sunday of the year

30/10/2022 The Parish Church of the Annunciation, Ħal Balzan

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Il-ġrajja tal-laqgħa ta’ Żakkew ma’ Ġesù tista’ tinġabar fl-aħħar sentenza tal-Evanġelju: “Bin il-bniedem ġie biex ifittex u jsalva l-mitluf” (Luqa 19:10). Tajjeb li nħarsu lejn din il-ġrajja u naraw x’tgħidilna għal ħajjitna. Inħarsu l-ewwel lejn il-folla, imbagħad lejn Żakkew u Ġesù.

Il-folla

Il-folla tan-nies li kienet imdawra ma’ Ġesù kienet ostaklu għal Żakkew biex jiltaqa’ miegħu imma anke biex jarah… Read more »

Our weaknesses should not hinder us – Archbishop

20/10/2022 Saint Ursula's Monastery, Valletta

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Għalina hija dejjem kelma iebsa li nisimgħu lil Ġesù jitkellem dwar il-firda, anzi jgħid: “Jiena ġejt inġib il-firda,” (ara Lq 12:51) meta aħna nafu u nsellmulu bħala l-prinċep tas-sliem, il-prinċep tal-paċi. Jgħidilna: “Jiena ġejt inġib il-paċi fid-dinja”; it-tislima tiegħu li jirrepeti l-Isqof f’kull quddiesa li jqaddes hija ‘l-paċi magħkom’. Għal liema firda qiegħed jgħid?

L-Evanġelju ta’ San Luqa, kif nafu, kien miktub fi żmien il-persekuzzjoni u ħafna familji ġarrbu t-traġedja tal-firda minħabba l-persekuzzjonijiet… Read more »
