God’s hand was with him – Bishop Galea-Curmi

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Ma hemm ebda qaddis ieħor ħlief Ġwanni l-Battista li tiegħu aħna niċċelebraw it-twelid. Fil-Knisja, aħna niċċelebraw it-twelid ta’ Ġesù, ta’ Marija Ommu, u ta’ Ġwanni l-Battista. Il-qaddisin normalment aħna niċċelebraw il-jum tal-mewt tagħhom, li tfisser it-twelid għall-ħajja ta’ dejjem. U Ġwanni l-Battista niċċelebraw kemm il-mewt kif ukoll it-twelid. Għaliex? X’għandu speċjali dan?

Dan għaliex Ġwanni l-Battista kien magħżul minn Alla biex ikun dak li jħejji t-triq għall-Mulej… Read more »

First Reading: Genesis 15:1-12,17-18
Psalm: 104 (105):1-2,3-4,6-7,8-9

Gospel: Matthew 7:15-20

In those days, Jesus told his disciples: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles? 

In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will know them by their fruits.”

The Spirit helps us overcome fear – Bishop Galea-Curmi

25/06/2023   Parish Church, Balzan

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Għal tliet darbiet fl-Evanġelju llum, Ġesù jgħid lill-appostli tiegħu “la tibżgħux!” U kellu raġun jgħidilhom biex ma jibżgħux, għax aħna nafu li aktar ’il quddiem, meta għadda mill-passjoni u l-mewt tiegħu, l-appostli beżgħu ħafna, u mhux biss beżgħu iżda ħarbu u ħallewh waħdu – kollha sparixxew ħlief wieħed. 

Kien biss aktar ’il quddiem, bil-qawwa tal-Ispirtu s-Santu, li huma għelbu l-biża’ u ħarġu biex ixandru l-Bxara t-Tajba, u jagħmlu dak li Ġesù jgħidilhom fl-Evanġelju llum: “Dak li jien ngħidilkom fid-dlam, għiduh fid-dawl, u dak li ngħidilkom f’widnejkom, xandruh minn fuq il-bjut” (Mt 10:27)… Read more »
