A place that must be a sign of God’s presence among us – The Archbishop

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Qegħdin nikkonsagraw dan il-post ta’ kult, ta’ qima, aħna u nibdew il-festa solenni ta’ Pentekoste, ta’ Għid il-Ħamsin. Ejjew nirringrazzjaw lill-Mulej tad-don tal-Ispirtu s-Santu li l-Mulej isejjaħlu ‘għajn’, “xmajjar ta’ ilma ħaj” (Ġw 7:38).

Fil-bidu ta’ dan ir-rit raxxaxna l-ilma mbierek fuq dan il-post, fuqna. Din il-ħaġa tfakkarna li dak li qegħdin nikkonsagraw illum hu sinjal ukoll tal-għaqda ta’ bejnietna… Read more »

Pope at Angelus: God is a communion of love

Solemnity of the Holy Trinity

04/06/2023   St Peter's Square, the Vatican

Dear brothers and sisters, buongiorno!

Today, Solemnity of the Holy Trinity, the Gospel is taken from the Jesus’ dialogue with Nicodemus (cf. Jn 3:16-18). Nicodemus was a member of the Sanhedrin, passionate about the mystery of God: he recognizes in Jesus a divine master and goes to speak to him in secret, in the night. Jesus listens to him, understands he is a man on a quest, and then first he surprises him, answering that to enter the Kingdom of God one must be reborn; then he reveals the heart of the mystery to him, saying that God loved humanity so much that he sent his Son into the world… Read more »

Feast of love – Bishop Galea-Curmi

04/06/2023   Dar tal-Kleru Chapel, Birkirkara

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Hemm affarijiet fil-ħajja li nagħmluhom, li huma importanti, u li kultant ma niqfux nirriflettu fuqhom. Waħda minnhom hi r-radd tas-salib, meta aħna ngħidu: “Fl-isem tal-Missier, u tal-Iben, u tal-Ispirtu s-Santu”. Hija xi ħaġa importanti ħafna!

Il-festa kbira tal-lum – is-solennità tat-Trinità Qaddisa – tgħinna biex nirriflettu fuq dak li nagħmlu dejjem meta rroddu s-salib, u ħafna drabi wkoll bit-talb tal-quddies, meta aħna ngħidu li qed insellmu lill-Missier, lill-Iben u lill-Ispirtu s-Santu… Read more »
