To be truly happy – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass on the sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

  The Parish Church of the Annunciation, Ħal Balzan

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Wieħed mill-kummenti li spiss nisimgħu hu li l-Knisja – meta ngħid il-Knisja, jiġifieri aħna lkoll li nemmnu fi Kristu – trid timxi maż-żminijiet. Dan hu veru f’ħafna affarijiet, li l-Knisja trid tagħraf tadatta dak li għandu jkun adattat għaż-żminijiet. Imma kultant dan il-kumment jingħad f’sens ieħor: jiġifieri li f’dak li aħna nemmnu, għandek tħares lejn kif in-nies qegħdin jgħixu, u timxi ma’ dan; jekk illum qed jaħsbu hekk, tibda taħseb bħalhom; jekk illum qed jgħixu hekk, tibda tagħmel bħalhom… Read more »

“Those who caution you are merciful ” – The Archbishop

Mass on the sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

  The Church of St Paul's Shipwreck, San Pawl tat-Tarġa, Naxxar

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù jħares lejn kotra kbira ta’ dixxipli tiegħu u ġemgħa kbira ta’ nies; fosthom jara ħafna foqra, nies bil-ġuħ, qed jara ħafna nies imnikktin bil-ħajja. Nistgħu ngħidu li jekk illum ikollu jiġi l-Mulej jerġa’ jiltaqa’ magħna, aħna li ħafna drabi għandna diversi tip ta’ faqar u ta’ ġuħ, forsi nsofru wkoll xi inġustizzja.

Qed isejħilna ‘imberkin’. Xi ħaġa stramba biex tifhimha għaliex ħadd f’sensih mhu se jsejjaħ il-ġuħ, in-niket, il-faqar bħala barka fihom infushom… Read more »

Speak plainly – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass on World Day of the Sick

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

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Qabad jitkellem sewwa”. Dan hu li qrajna fl-Evanġelju skont San Mark fuq dan ir-raġel li ma kienx jisma’ u ma kienx jitkellem sew, u ħaduh għand Ġesù biex ifejqu. Kien fl-inħawi tad-Dekapoli, u Ġesù ħarġu għalih waħdu minn qalb il-folla, u fejqu b’mod li dan beda jisma’ u jitkellem.

Kienet esperjenza tassew kbira għal dan ir-raġel! L-Evanġelju jgħid li “widnejh infetħulu, l-irbit ta’ lsienu nħall, u qabad jitkellem sewwa”… Read more »
