Enkindle in us the fire of your love – Bishop Galea-Curmi

16/06/2023   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Kebbes fina n-nar ta’ mħabbtek”. Dan huwa kliem li ngħidu fl-innu “Tina l-ħlewwa”, innu verament sabiħ, li jfisser b’mod tajjeb ħafna s-solennità li qed niċċelebraw illum tal-Qalb Imqaddsa ta’ Ġesù. Aħna nitolbu lil Ġesù biex fina jkebbes din l-imħabba tiegħu, ħalli jkollna f’qalbna din l-imħabba u mbagħad nistgħu ngħixuha.

Meta aħna naraw l-istorja ta’ Ġesù fl-Evanġelju, ninnutaw li kull min iltaqa’ miegħu, speċjalment dawk li ltaqgħu miegħu mill-qrib, dejjem raw fih qalb li tħobbhom… Read more »

Psalm: 97 (98):1,2-3ab,3cd-4

Gospel: Matthew 5:38-42

In those days, Jesus said to his disciples: “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, do not resist an evildoer.

But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also; and if anyone wants to sue you and take your coat, give your cloak as well; and if anyone forces you to go one mile, go also the second mile. Give to everyone who begs from you, and do not refuse anyone who wants to borrow from you.”

Qegħdin f’dan l-istaġun sabiħ li niftakru fl-imħabba ta’ Ġesù. Il-ġimgħa li għaddiet, jumejn ilu ċċelebrajna l-festa tal-Qalb Imqaddsa ta’ Ġesù. F’diversi parroċċi llum ukoll issir il-purċissjoni bl-Ewkaristija propju biex titfakkar din il-festa kbira tal-Qalb ta’ Ġesù li tfakkarna wkoll fl-imħabba tal-Mulej għalina.
