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

21/03/2022   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

20/03/2022   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

20/03/2022   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 »

You have to be patient first and foremost with yourself – The Archbishop

Mass of the third Sunday of Lent with the scrutiny of Catechumens

20/03/2022   The Shrine of Our Lady of Mellieħa, Mellieħa

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Fl-Evanġelju tal-lum Ġesù jibda minn żewġ fatti li ġraw fi żmienu. Wieħed minnhom kien att vjolenti ħafna, traġiku, abbuż kbir ta’ poter: Pilatu li joqtol diversi Lhud mill-Galilija li kienu qegħdin joffru s-sagrifiċċju, xi ħaġa li forsi ma għoġbitux u b’risposta qatilhom u kif jgħid Ġesù din l-espressjoni qawwija ħafna: “ħallat demmhom mal-vittmi tas-sagrifiċċji tagħhom” (Lq 13:1).

Il-mistoqsija ta’ Ġesù hi mistoqsija li jagħmel ukoll lilna: “Taħsbu intom li dawn kien jistħoqqilhom din il-mewta kiefra, dan it-tmiem krudili? … Read more »
