Peace is priceless – The Archbishop

Mass on the Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

  Valletta

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ħafna minna nsibu din il-paġna tal-Evanġelju forsi waħda mill-itqal, mhux biex nifhmuha, imma biex nagħmluha. Għaliex aħna nifhmu li l-liġi, li Ġesù jippreżenta bħala l-punt tat-tluq, diġà hi raġonevoli ħafna: “għajn b’għajn, sinna b’sinna” (Mt 5:38).

Din il-liġi antika li nsibu fir-Rabta l-Qadima kienet diġà liġi li tgħidlek: jekk xi ħadd ħadlek għajn ma taqtagħlux rasu, għajn b’għajn… Read more »

A sign of a community that gathers together and creates beauty – The Archbishop

Inaugural speech on the second phase of the new ceiling paintings at the Senglea Parish Church

  The Basilica of the Nativity of Mary, Senglea

Il-messaġġ tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Nixtieq ningħaqad mas-sentimenti ta’ gratitudni tal-Arċipriet, u ħadt pjaċir ukoll nisma’ din il-litanija ta’ tant nies ġenerużi, li l-ħidma tagħhom għenet biex wasalna għal dan il-jum memorabbli. Xejn ma jsir f’daqqa, u ħadd ma jagħmel xejn waħdu. Jekk hemm sinjal ta’ komunità li tinġabar flimkien u toħloq is-sbuħija, dan hu eżempju sabiħ.

Il-Papa jixtieq proċess kontinwu ta’ mixja flimkien… Read more »

Deny ourselves – Bishop Galea-Curmi

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

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Jekk xi ħadd irid jiġi warajja, għandu jiċħad lilu nnifsu, jerfa’ salibu u jimxi warajja”             (Mk 8:34). Dan hu li jgħid Ġesù llum fl-Evanġelju skont San Mark, fejn isemmilna dawn it-tliet punti importanti għal kull min irid ikun dixxiplu tiegħu. Huma ta’ sfida għalina, għall-ħajja tagħna, imma huma żgur ta’ għajnuna kbira biex inkunu tassew dawk li nimxu warajh… Read more »
