Scandal and forgiveness – Bishop Galea-Curmi

  The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Ikun aktar jaqbillu jekk jorbtulu ma’ għonqu ġebla ta’ tħin u jitfgħuh il-baħar” (Lq 17:2). Dan huwa l-kliem qawwi li jgħid Ġesù llum fl-Evanġelju fuq min jagħti skandlu. Partikolarment fuq min jagħti skandlu, jgħid Ġesù, “lil wieħed minn dawn iċ-ċkejknin”. Hu kliem iebes dan fuq fomm Ġesù, mhux sikwit li nisimgħu dan il-kliem iebes minn Ġesù. Imma Ġesù kien l-aktar iebes ma’ dawk li huma ipokriti u ma’ dawk li jagħtu skandlu… Read more »

Pope at Angelus: Am I dedicating time to the care of the heart?

  Saint Peter's Square, The Vatican

Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!

Today’s Gospel offers us a story regarding the meaning of life of each person. It is the parable of the ten virgins, called to go out to meet the bridegroom (cf. Mt 25:1-13). Living is this: a grand preparation for the day when we will be called to go to Jesus! However, in the parable of the ten virgins, five are wise and five foolish… Read more »

Wisdom and responsibility – Bishop Galea-Curmi

  Parish Church, Balzan

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Hieni dak il-qaddej li sidu jiġi u jsibu jaqdi dmiru” (Mt 24:46). Dan il-kliem Ġesù jgħidu ftit qabel ma jirrakkonta l-parabbola tal-għaxar xebbiet, u huwa l-kliem li fil-fatt ifisser il-messaġġ importanti tal-Evanġelju meta jgħid din il-parabbola.

Hawnhekk Ġesù,  meta jsemmi dawn l-għaxar xebbiet – ħamsa kienu għaqlin u ħamsa kienu boloh – li kienu qed jistennew l-għarus, qed ifisser dak li aħna rridu nagħrfu f’ħajjitna, għax f’mument jew ieħor se niltaqgħu ma’ Ġesù fi tmiem ħajjitna… Read more »

The Archbishop on Remembrance Day: Who chooses war instead of politics reaps the curse of death

Mass on Remembrance Day

  St John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

“L-aqwa tal-għaqal huwa li taħseb fil-għerf u min jishar għalih malajr jeħles mill-inkwiet” (Għerf  6:14). Dan il-vers mill-ktieb tal-Għerf, li smajna fl-ewwel qari llum, insibu eku ta’ dak li jgħid Ġesù fil-parabbola li jirrakkonta fil-silta mill-Evanġelju ta’ San Mattew li nqrat illum u li tinqara mad-dinja Kattolika kollha.

Ġesù jitkellem dwar dawn l-għaxar xebbiet, ħamsa minnhom għaqlin u ħamsa boloh… Read more »
