Pope at Audience: An invitation to learn from experience to not repeat the same mistakes

  St Peter's Square, the Vatican

Għeżież ħuti, l-għodwa t-tajba!

Inkomplu bir-riflessjoni tagħna fuq id-dixxerniment, u b’mod partikulari fuq l-esperjenza spiritwali msejħa “konsolazzjoni”, li dwarha tkellimna l-Erbgħa li għaddiet, u nistaqsu: kif nagħrfu liema hi l-vera konsolazzjoni? Hija mistoqsija importanti ħafna għal dixxerniment tajjeb, biex ma niġux imqarrqa fit-tiftixa tal-ġid veru tagħna.

In those days, as Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen. And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fish for people.” 

Immediately they left their nets and followed him. As he went from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed him.  Read more »

One word is enough – Bishop Galea-Curmi

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

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Niġi jien u nfejqu” (Mt 8:7). Din kienet ir-reazzjoni ta’ Ġesù għal dak li qallu ċ-ċenturjun, meta Ġesù daħal Kafarnahum u resaq fuqu dan iċ-ċenturjun jitolbu jfejjaq il-qaddej tiegħu li kien “mixħut, mifluġ u batut wisq” (Mt 8:6). Ġesù kien pront u qallu: “Niġi jien u nfejqu”.

Ħa nħarsu lejn din il-ġrajja, speċjalment lejn iċ-ċenturjun u Ġesù u d-djalogu bejniethom, għax hemm ħafna li jgħallmuna għall-ħajja tagħna… Read more »
