Remember us, Lord – Bishop Galea-Curmi

  Parish Church, Balzan

Sors: knisja.mt/ritratti L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Min kien qiegħed fil-ġrajja ta’ Ġesù msallab, u ħares lejh fuq is-salib, żgur li laqtitu l-kitba li kien hemm fuq is-salib, in-naħa ta’ fuq rasu, li kienet tgħid: “Dan hu s-sultan tal-Lhud” (Lq 23:38). Naħseb li diversi għaddielhom minn moħħhom li min poġġa dik il-kitba fuq xi ħadd li qed imut fuq is-salib jew ried jgħaddi n-nies biż-żmien u jidħaq bin-nies, jew inkella ried iwassal messaġġ… Read more »

Pro-life teaching of the Church is neither for sale nor to be discounted – The Archbishop

  St John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Fl-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna mħabbar f’din is-solennità għażiża ta’ Kristu Sultan tal-ħolqien kollu, il-Mulej m’għandu l-ebda ħjiel tad-dinjità regali ta’ din id-dinja. Hu bniedem ikkundannat għall-eħrex eżekuzzjoni: dik tas-salib. Il-kundanna tiegħu li għadda minnha kienet li jkun fgat imdendel mal-għuda. Fost dawk li kienu qegħdin iħarsu lejh umiljat, għall-għajnejn tad-dinja bla poter, għall-għajnejn ta’ niesu bla futur u bla qawwa… Read more »

A temple we should cherish – Bishop Galea-Curmi

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Intom għamiltuha għar tal-ħallelin” (Lq 19:46). Dan il-kliem iebes jgħidu Ġesù llum fl- Evanġelju skont San Luqa. Jgħidu lill-bejjiegħa li kienu fit-tempju, u li hu ried ikeċċihom ’il barra mit-tempju. Jgħidilhom: “… id-dar tiegħi tkun dar it-talb. Iżda intom għamiltuha għar tal-ħallelin”.

Għaliex Ġesù ikeċċi li dawn il-bejjegħa? Niftakru li dawn kienu hemmhekk biex ibigħu l-offerti għas-sagrifiċċju fit-tempju. Imma Ġesù ried juri b’mod ċar kif dawn kienu qegħdin jieħdu post il-qima lejn Alla, jaljenaw lin-nies mill-qima vera lejn Alla… Read more »

Maybe we should start to do some things with more urgency – Archbishop

Speech by the Archbishop on World Youth Day

  Muża, Valletta

Diġà smajtu waqt il-quddiesa, allura mhux se ndum. Nixtieq minn issa li biex nippreparaw għal dan il-vjaġġ li wħud minna se jeħodna Lisbona imma mbagħad iwassalna wkoll bħal dan iż-żmien sena biex nikkonkludu dan il-vjaġġ ta’ sena, nibdew naħsbu dwar is-sentenza li l-Papa għażel għal Lisbona 2023: ‘Marija qamet bil-ħeffa biex tkun ta’ servizz’, biex tkun ta’ qadi. Din ix-xi ħaġa niċċelebrawha wkoll minn hawn u ġimgħa oħra meta nibdew l-Avvent… Read more »

How beautiful would it be for us to trust our lives in the hands of the Lord of love – Archbishop

Mass on World Youth Day

  The Church of St Francis, Valletta

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Qegħdin niċċelebraw il-Festa ta’ Kristu Re, u l-Evanġelju li smajna jippreżentalna min hu r-Re tagħna: bniedem imsallab. Ma għandu l-ebda kuruna fuq rasu jekk mhix il-kuruna tax-xewk; ma għandu l-ebda lbies fuqu għax neħħewlu ħwejġu kollha. Madwaru għandu diversi kategoriji ta’ nies: għandu l-kapijiet, il-Qassisin il-Kbar, li meta jarawh għeri, imdendel ma’ għuda, jiddieħku b’Ġesù. “Salva lill-oħrajn, ħa jsalva lilu nnifsu” (Lq 23:35)… Read more »

The Lord won’t take away your liberty, He respects it – Archbishop

  Saint John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta

L-ewwel nett nixtieq nirringrazzjakom ħafna tal-preżenza tagħkom illum, ta’ dan il-ġest li bih intom tixtiequ tgħidu ‘grazzi’ u aħna wkoll nifirħu magħkom u għalikom intom u taslu f’dan il- mument daqshekk importanti li fih taraw l-istudji tagħkom jintemmu b’suċċess u jibda f’ħajjitkom kapitlu ieħor.
