The Archbishop on Police Day: The battle for humanity to live justly

Mass on Police Day

  St John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Il-kliem ta’ Ġesù jistedinna għas-sens ta’ responsabbiltà. Aħna l-qassisin, ħafna drabi u nagħmlu sew, nipprietkaw kontinwament fuq il-ħniena ta’ Alla. Il-ħniena ta’ Alla hi wkoll mument ta’ umiltà, li fih nitolbu lil Alla jaħfrilna d-dnubiet li nagħrfu li għamilna għax quddiem ir-responsabbiltà tagħna nifhmu li mhux dejjem ngħixu skont l-ideali għolja li għalihom imsejħin.

Kull anniversarju jiġbor fih żewġ elementi, li l-qaddis Malti San Ġorġ Preca ġabar f’din il-frażi feliċi: ‘Grazzi Sinjur Alla, u aħfirli Sinjur Alla’… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

San Benedittu, twieled f’Norcia, l-Italja, għall-ħabta tas-sena 480. Hu wieħed mill-patruni tal-Ewropa. Kellu influwenza kbira fuq l-iżvilupp taċ-ċiviltà u l-kultura Ewropea. Imma jekk naraw ftit il-kuntest li fih twieled – qed ngħidu bejn il-ħames u s-sitt seklu – id-dinja kienet ta’ taħt fuq minħabba l-kriżi tal-valuri u tal-istituzzjonijiet, ikkawżata mill-waqgħa tal-Imperu Ruman, mill-invażjoni tal-popli, kif ukoll mit-tmermir tad-drawwiet. Dan kien il-kuntest li fih twieled San Benedittu… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Jumejn ilu kien hemm aħbar kerha li xxukkjat lil ħafna – fin-Nicaragua, is-sorijiet ta’ Madre Tereża, li kienu ilhom hemm 34 sena, ġew imkeċċija mill-pajjiż. Il-pulizija ġabruhom, ħaduhom fil-fruntiera mal-Costa Rica, u dawn qasmu għal dan il-pajjiż.

X’għamlu ħażin biex tkeċċew? Skont l-awtoritajiet, ma kinux jikkwalifikaw biex jibqgħu jaħdmu hemmhekk – skuża biex jeħilsu minnhom… Read more »
