A vocation full of suffering that leads her to be charitable – The Archbishop

31/05/2022   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Żewġ nisa jiltaqgħu u mhumiex weħidhom għax fil-ġuf tagħhom qed iġorru lil uliedhom. Iż-żjara ta’ Marija lil Eliżabetta hi l-laqgħa ta’ erba’ persuni: iż-żewġ ommijiet u wliedhom fil-ġuf. Tant hu hekk li Eliżabetta tistqarr li malli semgħet il-vuċi ta’ Marija, it-tarbija li kellha fil-ġuf qabżet bil-ferħ (Lq 1:45). Tarbija fil-ġuf diġà għalqet sitt xhur, mentri t-tarbija li l-Madonna qiegħda ġġorr fil-ġuf tagħha, l-Iben t’Alla magħmul bniedem, għadu kif tnissel għax il-Madonna tiġi mbuttata mill-imħabba lejn il-proxxmu, propju kif tisma’ lill-anġlu Gabrijel jgħidilha: “Il-qariba tiegħek Eliżabetta diġa qiegħda fis-sitt xahar tat-tqala, dik li kienu jgħidu li ma jistax ikollha tfal” (Lq 1:36)… Read more »

Conquerors with him – Bishop Galea-Curmi

30/05/2022   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Agħmlu l-qalb: jiena rbaħt id-dinja”. Dan hu l-kliem ta’ Ġesù fl-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann, fid-diskors tal-Aħħar Ċena, meta hu jfittex li jagħmel kuraġġ lid-dixxipli tiegħu. Jgħidilhom li se jbatu – “fid-dinja tbatu jkollkom. Iżda agħmlu l-qalb: jien irbaħt id-dinja”. Ma kienx l-ewwel darba li Ġesù jitkellem, anke fl-istess diskors tal-Aħħar Ċena, fuq it-tbatija li kellhom jgħaddu minnha d-dixxipli tiegħu.

Imma jgħidilhom aktar Ġesù… Read more »
