If only! – Bishop Galea-Curmi

  Parish Church, Balzan

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 Gospel of the day: 15th June

Readings of the day

First Reading: 2 Corinthians 3:15 – 4:1,3-6
Psalm: 84 (85):9ab-10,11-12,13-14

Gospel: Matthew 5:20-26

In those days, Jesus told his disciples: “For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. You have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, “You shall not murder’; and “whoever murders shall be liable to judgement.’ But I say to you that if you are angry with a brother or sister, you will be liable to judgment; and if you insult a brother or sister, you will be liable to the council; and if you say, “You fool,’ you will be liable to the hell of fire. 

So when you are offering your gift at the altar, if you remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother or sister, and then come and offer your gift. 

Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are on the way to court with him, or your accuser may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. Truly I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny… Read more »

He wants us blessed – Bishop Galea-Curmi

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Henjin” (Mt 5:3). Għal diversi drabi Ġesù llum jirrepeti fl-Evanġelju “Henjin”. Disa’ darbiet, u fl-aħħar iżid: “Ifirħu u thennew” (Mt 5:12). Dan hu d-diskors tal-muntanja. Dawn li qrajna llum huma l-Beatitudnijiet – il-bidu ta’ dan id-diskors tal-muntanja, meta Ġesù tela’ fuq il-muntajna, u kien hemm folla nies, resqu lejh id-dixxiplu u beda jgħidilhom, kif naqraw fl-Evanġelji tal-lum, fuq il-valuri tas-Saltna. 

X’ifisser dan li qed jgħid Ġesù? … Read more »

The Gospel of the day: 14th June

Readings of the day

First Reading: 2 Corinthians 3:4-11
Psalm: 98 (99):5,6,7,8,9

Gospel: Matthew 5:17-19

In those days, Jesus told his disciples: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter, not one stroke of a letter, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. 

Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.  Read more »

Ħamsin sena ilu jien kont abbati fiċ-ċelebrazzjoni li tat bidu għat-twaqqif ta’ din il-parroċċa. Niftakar kelli disa’ snin, kont hawnhekk quddiem.
