L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Dan is-sinjal li jagħti l-Evanġelju ta’ San Ġwann jinkludi wkoll djalogu bħalma rajna l-Ħadd li għadda fid-djalogu li kien hemm bejn Ġesù u r-raġel li twieled għama, il-ġenituri ta’ dan l-għama, Ġesù u l-Fariżej. U fid-djalogu tal-lum hemm xi siltiet li nixtieq noffrihom bħala riflessjoni fil-pellegrinaġġ tagħna ta’ dan ir-Randan.

L-ewwel nett il-kelma, il-mistoqsija ta’ Ġesù. L-aħwa, din il-mistoqsija Ġesù jagħmilha lili u jagħmilha lilek: “Trid tfiq?” (Ġw 5:6)… Read more »

I believe, Lord – Bishop Galea-Curmi

19/03/2023   Parish Church, Balzan

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Żgur li f’dan ir-rakkont, li nsibuh biss fl-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann, jolqotna kif il-miraklu li jagħmel Ġesù ma’ dan il-bniedem li twieled agħma jieħu biss ftit versi. Il-bqija tar-rakkont hu pjuttost investigazzjoni ta’ dak li sar. 

Nixtieq insemmi tliet punti, fost il-ħafna li hemm fl-Evanġelju tal-lum, li huma ta’ għajnuna għall-ħajja tagħna.

Lil Ġesu jinteressah il-ġid tal-bniedem sħiħ

He did as he was ordered to do – Bishop Galea-Curmi

20/03/2023   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Ġużeppi, meta qam, għamel kif ordnalu l-anġlu tal-Mulej” (Mt 1:24). Hekk naqraw fl-Evanġelju skont San Mattew illum, f’din is-solennità ta’ San Ġużepp. F’din is-sentenza, nistgħu ngħidu li għandna l-ġabra tal-ħajja ta’ San Ġużepp, l-iktar ħaġa essenzjali, il-kobor tiegħu: il-fatt li hu għamel kif ordnalu l-Mulej.

Hawnhekk fl-Evanġelju naraw – u mhux biss hawn imma diversi drabi meta jidher Ġużeppi – li hu jkollu pjan u jitħarbatlu, jisfrattalu.  Meta hu sar jaf li Marija kienet tqila, u ma kinux joqogħdu flimkien, beda jaħseb x’se jagħmel… Read more »
