L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
L-anġlu Gabrijel mibgħut minn Alla għand xebba, li kien jisimha Marija, “f’belt tal-Galilija jisimha Nazaret” (Lq 1:26); fid-djalogu ma’ din ix-xebba rżina jitkellem dwar il-wirt tagħha. “Tibżax, Marija, għax int sibt grazzja quddiem Alla. Ara, inti se tnissel fil-ġuf u jkollok iben u ssemmih Ġesù” (Lq 1:30-31). L-isem Ġesù jiġbor il-missjoni ta’ dan it-tifel: ‘Alla Salvatur’; ‘Yeshua’ – Alla jsalva… 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 »

First Reading: Revelations 21:9b-14
Psalm: 144:10-13,17-18
Gospel: John 1:45-51
In those days, Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him about whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth.” Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” When Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, he said of him, “Here is truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit!” Nathanael asked him, “Where did you get to know me?”
Jesus answered, “I saw you under the fig tree before Philip called you.” Nathanael replied, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! … Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Ġesù nafuh biżżejjed, ma tantx jogħomdhom il-kliem, imma jagħtina ħjiel fuq xiex irridu nimxu fil-ħajja tagħna għax aħna lkoll b’xi mod ipokriti, jiġifieri aħna, anke jekk għandna xewqa ngħixu tajjeb kultant nogħtru għax dgħajfin, midinibin. U allura ċ-ċanfira ta’ Ġesù tgħodd għal kull wieħed u waħda minna. Min jaħseb li Ġesù mhux qed ikellmu, iħares sewwa lejn il-mera imma lejn il-qalb tiegħu l-iżjed… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Fl-Evanġelju tal-lum għandna lil Ġesù li juża kliem iebes ħafna kontra l-Fariżej. Irrid ngħid li mhux il-Fariżej kollha kienu hekk, imma dawn li Ġesù kien f’polemika magħhom kienu kif jgħid Ġesù, u għalhekk jgħidilhom illum għal diversi drabi “Ħażin għalikom” u jagħtihom titli oħra. Nixtieq li naraw lil dawn il-Fariżej b’kuntrast ma’ Marija, omm Ġesù u ommna wkoll, proprju f’dit-tifkira li qed nagħmlu llum ta’ Marija Reġina, sebat ijiem wara l-festa ta’ Marija mtellgħa s-sema… Read more »

First Reading: 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3a,13-17
Psalm: 138 (139):1-3,4-6
Gospel: Matthew 23:23-26
Jesus said: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You pay tithes of mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier things of the law: judgement and mercy and fidelity. But these you should have done, without neglecting the others. Blind guides, who strain out the gnat and swallow the camel! … Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Inġeddu kollox fi Kristu”. Dan kien il-motto li għażel il-Papa San Piju X meta kien elett Papa, u f’dan il-kliem hemm miġbur ukoll dak li ħadem għalih tul ħajtu, u dak li hu ta’ ispirazzjoni għalina llum meta qed niċċelebraw il-festa tiegħu – u, speċjalment, f’għeluq il-ħamsin sena mit-tberik ta’ din il-knisja ddedikata lilu, u t-30 sena mill-konsagrazzjoni tagħha.

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
“Huwa u sejjer lejn Ġerusalemm” (Lq 13:22). Dawn is-siltiet li se nibdew naqraw fil-Ħdud mill-Evanġelju skont San Luqa, li din is-sena qegħdin naqraw silta minnu kull nhar ta’ Ħadd; kollha huma parti mill-vjaġġ ta’ Ġesù lejn Ġerusalemm; vjaġġ li proprju beda bl-Evanġelju tal-Ħadd li għadda, b’determinazzjoni Ġesù jibda jħares lejn Ġerusalemm. Fejn jitkellem dwar il-persekuzzjoni tiegħu, it-torturi tiegħu u s-salib… Read more »
