Our Lady teaches us to do the Father’s will – The Archbishop

Mass with UMTAL pilgrims

19/07/2022 Lourdes Grotto, France

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù kien jaf sew min hi ommu u kien jaf sew ukoll kemm hi għamlet ir-rieda tal-Missier. Niftakru biss biss fil-kelma li qalet lill-anġlu Gabrijel: “Hawn hi l-qaddejja tal-Mulej, ikun minni skont kelmltek” (Lq 1:37). U l-kelma wkoll li qalet lill-qaddejja fit-tieġ ta’ Kana: “Agħmlu dak li jgħidilkom hu” (Ġw 2:5).

Mela l-Madonna mhux biss għamlet ir-rieda tal-Missier imma wkoll tgħallimna biex aħna nagħmluha… Read more »

Inauguration of a monument to commemorate the elderly victims of Covid-19

19/07/2022 Tas-Sliema

Il-President ta’ Malta George Vella inawgura monument f’Tas-Sliema li jfakkar lill-anzjani li tilfu ħajjithom matul il-pandemija tal-Covid-19. Il-President qal li din il-pandemija kienet kiefra għall-anzjani, l-aktar dawk f’residenzi jew l-isptarijiet minħabba n-nuqqas ta’ kuntatt fiżiku ma’ dawk l-aktar qrib tagħhom.

Appella biex bħala soċjetà nsibu mezz ta’ kif insaħħu l-preżenza tagħna fil-ħajja tal-anzjani. “Kull wieħed u waħda minna jista’ jagħti sehmu biex il-kwalità tal-ħajja tal-anzjani tagħna tmur dejjem għall-aħjar,” qal il-President… Read more »

We have the definitive sign – Bishop Galea-Curmi

18/07/2022 The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Mgħallem, xtaqna kieku naraw sinjal mingħandek” (Mt 12:38). Din kienet it-talba li għamlu xi wħud mill-kittieba u l-Fariżej, kif naqraw fl-Evanġelju skont San Mattew illum, talba li għamlu lil Ġesù. Għall-bidu tidher qisha talba pulita – jixtiequ jaraw sinjal – imma r-reazzjoni ta’ Ġesù hija reazzjoni ħarxa, għax jgħid għalihom “nisel ħażin u infidil” (Mt 12:39).

Għaliex din ir-reazzjoni qawwija ta’ Ġesù? … Read more »
