U quddiemu jinġabru l-ġnus kollha, u hu jifridhom minn xulxin, bħalma r-ragħaj jifred in-nagħaġ mill-mogħoż: in-nagħaġ iqegħedhom fuq il-lemin tiegħu u l-mogħoż fuq ix-xellug… Read more »

Il-messaġġ tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Bħal-lum, meta jgħiduli “Ad multos annos”, jiena ngħid, “pavere multos”, ma non esageriamo. Anke għax, tkun kemm tkun tajba l-ħaġa, fl-aħħar tgħid, “too much of a good thing”. Imma naf li mhix il-każ. 

Jiena nixtieq naqsam dan il-messaġġ qasir tiegħi, anke għaliex sar il-ħin u tinkwetani li bniedem ikollu bżonn anke jinġabar. Għall-grazzja ta’ Alla bdejna nxommu ftit tax-xitwa wkoll, li hija barka għalina. 

Xtaqt li l-intervent tiegħi llum, u l-indirizz tiegħi lilkom, ikun fuq żewġ partijiet… Read more »

Eċċellenza u ħuti, insellmilkom lilkom ilkoll miġburin għall-Assemblea Djoċesana din is-sena, u nsellem lil dawk kollha li qed isegwuna bħalissa online.

Nixtieq li, qabel xejn, li flimkien nawguraw lil Mons. Arċisqof li għada jagħlaq 11-il sena mill-Ordinazzjoni Episkopali tiegħu. U speċjalment nitolbu għalih.

Il-qima għad-dar tal-Mulej – L-Isqof Galea-Curmi

24/11/2023   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Id-dar tiegħi tkun dar it-talb” (Lq 19:45). Dan hu li jgħid Ġesù llum fl-Evanġelju skont San Luqa meta jidħol fit-tempju u hemm jibda jkeċċi ’l barra l-bejjiegħa. Kienet ġrajja li baqgħet tissemma din, u fil-fatt insibuha fl-Evanġelji kollha. Ġesù, meta jidħol fit-tempju, jgħid li din hi d-dar ta’ Alla. Interessanti ħafna li San Luqa jġib it-tempju kemm fil-bidu nett tal-Evanġelju tiegħu, kif ukoll fl-aħħar… Read more »

Psalm: 9:2-3,4 & 6,16b & 19

In those days, some Sadducees, those who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and asked him a question, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, leaving a wife but no children, the man shall marry the widow and raise up children for his brother. Now there were seven brothers; the first married, and died childless; then the second and the third married her, and so in the same way all seven died childless. Finally the woman also died. In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? … Read more »
