What are we going to take with us? – Bishop Galea-Curmi

18/10/2022   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Ħarsu rwieħkom minn kull regħba” (Lq 12:15). Dan hu li jgħid Ġesù llum fl-Evanġelju skont San Luqa. Id-diskors beda meta xi ħadd mill-folla talab lil Ġesù biex jgħid lil ħuh jaqsam il-wirt miegħu. U Ġesù qallu li ma jidħolx fin-nofs f’affarijiet familjari, ma jkunx l-imħallef tagħhom Ġesù. Imma mbagħad idur lejn in-nies u jgħidilhom: “Iftħu għajnejkom u ħarsu rwiekom minn kull regħba”… Read more »

Mass on the 125th anniversary of the founding of Marsaxlokk parish

16/10/2022   The Parish Church of Our Lady of Pompeii, Marsaxlokk

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

125 sena ilu, b’digriet tal-Isqof Pietru Pace, M’Xlokk saret parroċċa ddedikata lill-Madonna ta’ Pompei. Għalhekk illum qed niċċelebraw storja twila ta’ din il-komunità parrokkjali. Hija storja ta’ tant saċerdoti u reliġjużi li taw ħajjithom għan-nies ta’ M’Xlokk u tant persuni li tul is-snin taw il-kontribut fil-ħajja tal-parroċċa, u nies li gawdew mill-ħidma f’din il-parroċċa.

Grazzi mill-qalb

Tul is-snin, kien hemm tant nies li stinkaw biex f’M’Xlokk tixxandar il-Kelma ta’ Alla, kif smajna lil San Pawl jinsisti llum fit-tieni Ittra lil Timotju – il-kelma li l-qofol tagħha hi l-Aħbar it-Tajba li Ġesù hu ħaj… Read more »
