Parents’ worries and hopes for their children – The Archbishop

01/02/2022   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Dan ir-rakkont mill-Evanġelju ta’ San Mark m’għandux bżonn ħafna kummenti. Naraw ’l Ġesù li għat-talba ħerqana ta’ missier, jitlaq kollox u jmur ma’ Ġajru biex ifejjaqlu lit-tifla li sadattant tmut. U Ġesù jagħmel l-ewwel miraklu li jqajjem lil xi ħadd mill-mewt. Waqt il-vjaġġ ikun hemm mara li kienet ilha tbati mit-tnixxija tad-demm għal 12-il sena u tfiq malli messet il-mantar ta’ Ġesù… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

“Minnufih jidħol fit-tempju tiegħu, is-Sid li intom qegħdin tfittxu” (Mal 3:1). Ejjew nieqfu ftit fuq din l-espressjoni tal-Profeta Malakija u nistaqsu lilna nfusna: il-Mulej li llum, fl-40 jum wara t-twelid tiegħu u li skont il-Liġi ta’ Mosè jiġi ppreżentat fit-tempju ta’ Ġerusalemm; aħna qegħdin infittxuh? Jiġi f’moħħna s-Salm 27 “Ejja, għedt f’qalbi, ‘fittex ’il wiċċu’, jien wiċċek infittex, Mulej” (Salm 27:8)… Read more »

The Almighty has done great things for me – Bishop Galea-Curmi

31/01/2022   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Bdew jitolbuh ħafna lil Ġesù biex iwarrab minn pajjiżhom”. Dan hu li għamlu n-nies li ġew jaraw din il-ġrajja. Meta semgħu dak li kien ġara, u anke l-istorja drammatika ta’ kif Ġesù lil dan il-bniedem ħelsu mill-ispirti ħżiena, u mbagħad dawn marru fil-qżieqeż u dawn qabżu l-baħar u għerqu, baqgħu miblugħin bil-biża’. U lil Ġesù bdew jitolbuh biex jitlaq, iwarrab.

Il-kontra għamel dan il-bniedem li qabel kien bl-ispirti ħżiena fih, u li Ġesù ħelsu minn dawn l-ispirti ħżiena… Read more »

Pope at Angelus: Jesus asks you to accept him in the daily reality that you live

30/01/2022   The Vatican

Dear brothers and sisters, buongiorno!

In today’s liturgy, the Gospel recounts Jesus’ first sermon in his home town, Nazareth. The outcome is bitter: instead of receiving approval, Jesus finds incomprehension and even hostility (cf. Lk 4:21-30). His fellow villagers, rather than a word of truth, wanted miracles and prodigious signs. The Lord does not perform them and they reject him, because they say they already knew him as a child: he is Joseph’s son (cf… Read more »
