We observe his word because we love him – Bishop Galea-Curmi
16/05/2022 The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Għal aktar minn darba, fl-Evanġelju tal-lum skont San Ġwann, Ġesù jenfasizza r-rabta bejn l-imħabba lejh u li nħarsu l-kelma tiegħu, li nħarsu l-kmandamenti tiegħu. Jgħid: “Min iżomm il-kmandamenti tiegħi u jħarishom, dak hu li jħobbni” (Ġw 14:21). U aktar tard jgħid: “Jekk xi ħadd iħobbni, iħares kelmti” (Ġw 14:23).
Din ir-rabta Ġesù jenfasizzaha hawn, imma anke f’mumenti oħra; jiġifieri li aħna, sforz l-imħabba tagħna lejh, nagħmlu dak li jgħidilna hu… Read more »

Homily by Pope Francis
We have heard what Jesus told his disciples before leaving this world and returning to the Father. He told us what it means to be a Christian: “Even as I have loved you, so you must love one another” (Jn 13:34). This is the legacy that Christ bequeathed to us, the ultimate criterion for discerning whether or not we are truly his disciples. It is the commandment of love. Let us stop to consider two essential elements of this commandment: Jesus’ love for us – “as I have loved you” – and the love he asks us to show to others – “so you must love one another”… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Kif ħareġ Ġuda miċ-ċenaklu…” L-ewwel kelmiet ta’ din is-silta mill-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann turina l-waqt meta Ġesù, waqt l-Aħħar Ċena, qal il-kliem li smajna fl-Evanġelju. Kien għadu kif ħabbar li wieħed mid-dixxipli kien se jittradih, u d-dixxipli stagħġbu u bdew jippruvaw jaraw min, għax Ġesù ma kienx semma ismu. Imbagħad Ġesù qal: “Dak li għalih se nbill din il-loqma ħobż fil-platt u nagħtihielu”, u għamel hekk u taha lil Ġuda, u Ġuda ħadha u ħareġ miċ-ċenaklu… Read more »

Jesus said to his disciples: “Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him.”

Welcome your children the way they are welcomed by God, who created them – The Archbishop
Mass on the fifth Sunday of Easter
15/05/2022 St Paul's Cathedral, Mdina
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Ġesù jirrealizza li t-tmiem tassew wasal. Ġuda se jkompli bil-pjan tiegħu li jittradih, ibigħu għal 30 biċċa tal-fidda u dak li [Ġesù] kien irrepeta għal darba, darbtejn, tlieta lid-dixxipli fl-aħħar se jseħħ. “Bin il-Bniedem jiġi mogħti f’idejn il-kapijiet, iżebilħuh, isalbuh, wara tlett ijiem iqum” (Mk 8:31).
Hu jitkellem dwar dan il-proċess ta’ glorja b’kategorija li għalina hi ħafna stramba għax il-glorja għalina hi show of force, il-qawwa, il-poter, il-prestiġju… Read more »
