L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Mgħallem, mhux li kien id-dinja kollha timxi wara l-Evanġelju tiegħek!” Dan hu dak li jfissru l-kliem bil-Latin li l-inizjali tagħhom hu “MUSEUM”, is-Soċjetà tad-Duttrina Nisranija, u dan hu dak li smajna fl-Evanġelju skont San Mark meta Ġesù jgħid lid-dixxipli tiegħu: “Morru fid-dinja kollha, xandru l-Evanġelju lill-ħolqien kollu” (Mk 16:15).

Aħna llum qed niċċelebraw il-mitt sena tas-Soċjetà tal-Museum f’Ħal Balzan… Read more »

The Holy Spirit leads you to harmony, to unity – The Archbishop

25/05/2023   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Kif indunajtu f’dawn il-jiem qegħdin naqraw siltiet mid-diskors ta’ Ġesù fl-aħħar ċena li nsibu fl-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann. Illum għandna dan il-kliem u din is-silta mill-kapitlu 17. Innutaw li f’din is-silta, għax f’siltiet oħra jissemma b’ismu, l-Ispirtu s-Santu ma jissemiex b’ismu imma nixtieq li nagħrfu l-ismijiet differenti tal-Ispirtu s-Santu f’din is-silta.

Ħin minnhom Ġesù jitkellem dwar il-glorja; il-glorja hi isem ieħor tal-Ispirtu s-Santu… Read more »

Today we are going to find a great example of a saint of the passion for evangelization in a land far away, namely the Korean Church… Read more »
