Let us always do good – Bishop Galea-Curmi

30/10/2023 The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Hemm sitt ijiem li fihom wieħed għandu jaħdem; mela fihom ejjew biex titfejqu, u mhux is-Sibt!” (Lq 13:14). Din hija d-dikjarazzjoni li għamel il-kap tas-Sinagoga, u skont l-Evanġelju, għamilha “b’saħna fuqu”. Ir-raġuni kienet illi Ġesù kien għadu kif fejjaq mara li kienet ilha tmintax-il sena sħaħ marida u, minħabba l-mard tagħha, kienet ukoll milwija ħafna, lanqas kienet tista’ toqgħod dritta.

X’naraw fl-attitudni ta’ Ġesù, mbagħad min-naħa l-oħra, tal-kap tas-Sinagoga? … Read more »

The beauty of love – Bishop Galea-Curmi

29/10/2023 The Chapel of the Sisters of Charity, Ħal Balzan

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Mgħallem, liema hu l-kmandament il-kbir tal-liġi?” (Mt 22:36). Din il-mistoqsija li għamlu lil Ġesù – kif smajna fl-Evanġelju llum – kienet fi żmien Ġesù mistoqsija li jagħmlu l-għorrief biex jagħżlu liema fost il-kmandamenti kien l-iktar wieħed importanti. Kellhom diversi liġijiet u kmandamenti – kien hemm ’l fuq minn 600, uħud jgħidulek x’għandek tagħmel u oħrajn x’m’għandekx tagħmel. U kienu jiddilettaw jagħmlu din id-diskussjoni biex jagħrfu liema hu l-kmandament l-iktar importanti… Read more »
