When Jesus and his disciples arrived at Bethsaida, people brought to him a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. Putting spittle on his eyes he laid his hands on him and asked, “Do you see anything?” Looking up he replied, “I see people looking like trees and walking.”

Then he laid hands on his eyes a second time and he saw clearly; his sight was restored and he could see everything distinctly… Read more »

We are dear to God – Bishop Galea-Curmi

11/02/2023   Saint Vincent de Paule Chapel, Luqa

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Nitħassarhom lil dawn in-nies” (Mk 8:2). Dan hu l-kliem li qal Ġesù llum fl-Evanġelju meta kellu n-nies li kienu ilhom tliet ijiem miegħu u ra li jekk jibgħathom, għall-bżonn iħossuhom ħażin fit-triq għax ma kellhomx x’jieklu. Għalhekk ried li d-dixxipli jipprovdulhom x’jieklu. Għalhekk “tħassarhom”. Imma d-dixxipli ma setgħux isibu, hemmhekk fid-deżert, minn fejn se jagħtuhom x’jieklu, u għalhekk kellhom dik ir-reazzjoni naturali… Read more »

Coming from the heart – Bishop Galea-Curmi

12/02/2023   The Church of St Agatha, Rabat

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Kieku Ġesù kien qiegħed għaddej qalb in-nies illum u jgħid dan id-diskors li smajna fl-Evanġelju, naħseb waħda mir-reazzjonijiet kienet tkun: int għadek fil-Medjuevu! Ħalliha li Ġesù għex ħafna qabel il-Medjuevu! Imma meta nisimgħu ċertu diskors minn Ġesù, u ċertu diskors fuq valuri importanti għall-ħajja, kultant ikun hemm min jgħid: dawn affarijiet tal-passat, illum kbirna, ma għadniex nemmnu f’dawn l-affarijiet.

Ħu, per eżempju, dak li jgħid Ġesù fuq l-adulterju… Read more »

Psalm: 49 (50):1 & 8,16bc-17,20-21

Gospel: Mark 8:11-13

The Pharisees came forward and began to argue with Jesus, seeking from him a sign from heaven to test him. He sighed from the depth of his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.” Then he left them, got into the boat again, and went off to the other shore… Read more »
