Humility and inclusivity – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

26/09/2022 The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Qamet kwistjoni bejn id-dixxipli dwar min kien l-akbar fosthom” (Lq 9:46). Dan hu li jgħid San Luqa fl-Evanġelju tiegħu llum, u mal-ewwel nintebhu kemm dawn id-dixxipli ma kinux fehmu tassew, sa dak il-mument, min kien Ġesù, u x’kien qed jgħallimhom Ġesù. Ftit qabel din is-silta, Ġesù kien qed iħabbrilhom, għat-tieni darba, li se jgħaddi mill-mewt li twassal għall-qawmien, li se jgħaddi mis-sofferenza… Read more »

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things.
I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

When the days for Jesus to be taken up were fulfilled, he resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem, and he sent messengers ahead of him.

Mass of the pastoral visit to Matera for the conclusion of the 27th national eucharistic congress

25/09/2022 XXI Settembre Municipal Stadium (Matera), Italy

Il-Mulej qed jiġborna madwar il-mejda tiegħu u jsir għalina ħobż: “Huwa l-ħobż tal-festa fuq il-mejda tal-ulied, […] joħloq il-qsim ma’ xulxin, isaħħaħ ir-rabtiet, għandu togħma ta’ komunjoni” (Innu għas-XXVII Kungress Ewkaristiku Nazzjonali, Matera 2022). Imma l-Vanġelu li għadna kemm smajna jgħidilna li mhux dejjem fuq il-mejda l-ħobż hu maqsum: dan hu minnu; mhux dejjem iħalli l-fwieħa tal-komunjoni; mhux dejjem hu miksur fil-ġustizzja… Read more »

Do not to tell this to anyone

23/09/2022 The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Naħseb ilkoll narawha stramba kif Ġesù jgħid lid-dixxipli tiegħu biex “ma jgħidu lil ħadd b’dan” (Lq 9:21). Pietru kien għadu kif qallu “Inti l-Messija ta’ Alla” (Lq 9:20), u Ġesù jgħid lilu u lid-dixxipli, anzi “ikkmandahom u qalilhom ħafna biex ma jgħidu lil ħadd b’dan”. Għaliex?

Iktar u iktar narawha stramba meta Pietru qal ir-risposta t-tajba: “Inti l-Messija ta’ Alla”… Read more »

Mass on World Day of Migrants & Refugees

25/09/2022 The Chapel of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception, Baħrija

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Il-parabbola li għadna kemm smajna, Ġesù jgħidha lill-Fariżej, jgħidha lill-kapijiet, imma aħna nistgħu nifhmu li l-messaġġ tiegħu jgħodd għal kull wieħed u waħda minna.

Xi jrid jgħid Ġesù b’din il-parabbola li fiha jsemmi żewġ persuni; wieħed għandu isem li għal Ġesù kien għażiż ħafna għax jgħid li l-fqir kien jismu Lazzru (Lq 16:20). Issa aħna nafu li wieħed mill-ħbieb il-kbar ta’ Ġesù kien jismu Lazzru wkoll u nistgħu nifhmu li l-għażla li Ġesù jagħmel f’din l-istorja li jirrakkonta, lill-fqir jagħtih l-isem ta’ wieħed mill-ħbieb il-kbar tiegħi… Read more »
