You have revealed them to infants – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

Memorial of St Catherine of Siena

29/04/2022   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Dawn il-ħwejjeġ…għarrafthom lil min hu ċkejken”. Dan hu l-kliem li jgħid Ġesù llum fl-Evanġelju skont San Mattew, meta jfaħħar lill-Missier għax “dawn il-ħwejjeġ ħbejthom lil min hu għaref u lil min jifhem, u għarrafthom lil min hu ċkejken”. Fl-Evanġelju skont San Luqa nsibu din l-istess silta; hemm miktub li Ġesù kien mimli bil-ferħ li ġej mill-Ispirtu s-Santu meta qal dan il-kliem… Read more »

Psalm: 102:1-4,8-9,13-14,17-18

At that time Jesus said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

Preventive measures in churches

28/04/2022

Minn nhar it‑Tnejn, 2 ta’ Mejju, il‑miżuri ta’ prevenzjoni kontra l‑imxija tal‑COVID‑19 mhux se jibqgħu fis‑seħħ waqt il‑quddiesa u ċelebrazzjonijiet oħra bil‑preżenza tal‑pubbliku fil‑knejjes. Dan wara t‑tibdil fil‑liġijiet mħabbra mill‑awtoritajiet tas‑saħħa l‑ġimgħa li għaddiet u sakemm ma jinħarġux miżuri oħra.

Hu rrakkomandat li fil‑knejjes jibqa’ jintuża s‑sanitiser speċjalment minn dawk involuti direttament fiċ‑ċelebrazzjoni tal‑quddiesa, fosthom dawk li jqarbnu.

L-Insara huma mħeġġa sabiex jattendu għaċ-ċelebrazzjoni tal-quddiesa fil-knejjes, b’mod partikolari fil-jum tal-Ħadd… Read more »

The true missionary presents options to choose from when exercising human liberty – The Archbishop

28/04/2022   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Nistgħu ngħidu li tinħass ftit stramba li fl-Evanġelju nisimgħu lil Ġesù jitkellem dwar “il-korla ta’ Alla” (Ġw 4:36). Din xi tkun? Ġesù, mhux dak li għallimna l-parabbola tal-Iben il-Ħali; u tad-drakma, li tilfet munita prezzjuża u fittxet d-dar kollha sakemm sabitha u għamlet festa kbira? Mhux dak li jmur ifittex lin-nagħġa l-mitlufa? Mhux dak li jiekol mal-midinbin u mal-pubblikani?

Ġesù jpoġġi quddiemna għażla u l-għażla hi faċli daqskemm hi diffiċli… Read more »
