L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

San Mark hu wieħed mill-erba’ evanġelisti. Kien il-kuġin ta’ San Barnaba, u fil-fatt narawh flimkien ma’ Barnaba u Pawlu f’wieħed mill-vjaġġi missjunarji tagħhom. Imbagħad kien hemm xi żmien li kien hemm nuqqas ta’ ftehim, kif naqraw fl-Atti tal-Appostli Kapitlu 15, u spiċċa hu jmur ma’ Barnaba, u Pawl band’oħra. Imma iktar ’l quddiem naraw li jerġgħu flimkien. San Pawl fit-Tieni Ittra lil Timotju jgħidlu: “Ħu ’l Marku u ġibu miegħek għax hu jiswieli ħafna għall-ministeru” (2 Tim 4:11)… Read more »

Divine mercy often makes us aware of the sufferings of our neighbour – Pope Francis

24/04/2022   St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican

Today the risen Lord appears to the disciples. To those who had abandoned him he offers his mercy and shows his wounds. The words he speaks to them are punctuated with a greeting that we hear three times in the Gospel: “Peace be with you!” (Jn 20:19.21.26). Peace be with you! These are the words of the risen Jesus as he encounters every human weakness and error… Read more »

“Is-sliem għalikom”. Din kienet it-tislima li ta Ġesù lid-dixxipli tiegħu meta dehrilhom wara li qam mill-mewt, għal darba darbtejn, u din hi t-tislima li aħna nixtiequ li jkollna, u dak li qed infittxu aħna li miġburin flimkien niċċelebraw il-Festa tal-Ħniena Divina. Aħna nixtiequ li jkollna s-sliem l-ewwel nett f’qalbna – il-paċi f’qalbna – imbagħad il-paċi man-nies li ngħixu magħhom, paċi fis-soċjetà tagħna u paċi fid-dinja… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Tolqotna ħafna fl-Evanġelju kif id-difetti, in-nuqqasijiet, u d-dnubiet ta’ dawk qrib ta’ Ġesù, tat-tnax, narawhom, u narawhom mhux darba jew tnejn, imma diversi drabi. Tolqotna għax dawn il-persuni kienu l-bidu tal-Knisja, u min kiteb l-Evanġelju, flok għatta, iċċensura, in-nuqqasijiet u d-difetti tagħhom, semmiehom – u kull darba aħna niftakru fihom.

Bla ħabi
