We will be judged according to how we judge others – The Archbishop

  The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Il-Kelma ta’ Ġesù hi ċara ħafna. Anke l-parabbola li jagħtina llum hi parabbola qawwija u għażiża. Aħna min jaf kemm-il darba, kuljum, għandna bżonn nitolbu maħfra lil Alla ta’ xi nuqqas, ta’ xi dnub, ta’ xi falliment, ta’ xi kattiverja. Imbagħad insibuha bit-tqila, li dak li Alla jagħmel magħna, nagħmluh ma’ ħaddieħor. Għalhekk il-Mulej, fit-talba li għallimna, għallimna nitolbu hekk: “Aħfrilna dnubietna, bħalma naħfru lil minn hu ħati għalina” (Mt 6:12)… Read more »

Driven out of town because he told the truth – Bishop Galea-Curmi

  The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Tolqotna r-reazzjoni vjolenti tan-nies li fis-sinagoga kienu qed jisimgħu lil Ġesù. Meta semgħuh, jgħidilna l-Evanġelju, dawn qamu, ħarġuh ’il barra mill-belt, ħaduh fuq xifer ta’ rdum tal-għolja li fuqha kienet mibnija l-belt tagħhom, u riedu jixħtuh minn hemm fuq għal isfel. Verament vjolenti! Lanqas tgħid, pereżempju, li waqt li qed jitkellem Ġesù kien hemm xi ħadd u beda jgħajjat li ma jaqbilx miegħu, jew qalulu “itlaq ’il barra mis-sinagoga”… Read more »

The Pope in Angelus warns against numbness from wars and their victims

  The Vatican

Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!

We are at the heart of our Lenten journey, and today the Gospel begins by presenting Jesus who comments on some news of the day. While people still remember the eighteen who died when a tower collapsed on them, they tell Him about some Galileans whom Pilot had killed (cf. Lk 13:1). And there is a question that seems to accompany these tragic affairs: who is to blame for these terrible events?  … Read more »

Let’s appreciate the time given to us by the Lord – Bishop Galea-Curmi

  The Parish Church of the Annunciation, Ħal Balzan

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Iż-żewġ ġrajjiet li jsemmi Ġesù fl-Evanġelju llum, hu u jitkellem man-nies – il-massakru li kien għamel Pilatu mill-Galilin, u t-torri li kien waqa’ fuq 18-il ruħ u qatilhom – kienu ġrajjiet li n-nies ta’ dak iż-żmien kienu midħla tagħhom, u baqgħu jsemmuhom. U kienu dak iż-żmien, bħalma nistaqsu aħna llum, jagħmlu l-mistoqsija: għaliex? Għaliex dawk in-nies kienu hemmhekk, meta waqa’ t-torri u qatilhom? … Read more »
