One word is enough – Bishop Galea-Curmi

28/11/2022   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 »

We need to renew our commitment against domestic violence – Bishop Galea-Curmi

25/11/2022   Parish Church, Attard

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Is-sema u l-art jgħaddu, imma kliemi ma jgħaddix” (Lq 21:33). Dan hu li Ġesù jgħid, fl-
Evanġelju llum skont San Luqa, lid-dixxipli tiegħu. Dak li jgħid lid-dixxipli tiegħu qed jgħidu wkoll lilna llum, f’din l-okkażjoni partikulari tal-Gradwazzjoni tal-Istitut ta’ Formazzjoni Pastorali.

Dak li jgħaddi

Ġesù jagħmel kuntrast bejn dak li jgħaddi u dak li ma jgħaddix. Isemmi li s-sema u l-art jgħaddu… Read more »

Mass on the first Advent Sunday

27/11/2022   The Parish Church of St Mary, Attard

Hemm talba li aħna ngħidu ħafna drabi f’mument importanti tal-quddiesa eżatt wara li Ġesù jiġi fostna taħt ix-xbihat tal-ħobż u l-inbid li jsiru l-Ġisem u d-Demm tiegħu. Is-saċerdot jgħidilna: “Dan hu l-misteru tal-fidi” u waħda mir-risposti sbieħ li ħafna drabi ngħidu hi: “Inħabbru l-mewt tiegħek, Mulej, inxandru bil-ferħ il-qawmien tiegħek, nistennewk sa ma tiġi fil-glorja”. Nistennewk sa ma tiġi fil-glorja!

Dan li qegħdin nagħmlu f’dan l-istaġun tal-Avvent… Read more »

All lives matter – The Archbishop

I appeal to our legislators to see reason

27/11/2022

Article by Archbishop Charles Scicluna

Life is precious. Only a few days ago, we were served a bitter reminder of just how precious one life can be following the horrific murder of Bernice Cassar. As a nation, we are understandably shocked and angry that such an act can take place in our community. 

While offering prayers for Bernice and her family, I could not help but feel an immense tug in my heart for her children whose lives will be forever changed by this tragedy… Read more »
