If you are devoted to the Virgin Mary, try to imitate one of her virtues – Archbishop

10/05/2023   Sacro Cuore Parish Church, Tas-Sliema

Ejjew nirriflettu ftit fuq dan il-ġest li qiegħda tagħmel din il-parroċċa llum. L-għotja tal-warda tad-deheb hija tradizzjoni antika ħafna ta’ dehniet Insara u kienet omaġġ, sinjal ta’ qima. L-għotja tal-warda tad-deheb lill-Madonna tagħżilha bħala Sultana ta’ qalbna, u fl-istess ħin tfisser impenn.

Sidtna Marija, kif issaltan? Issaltan fil-qadi. Għax dan tgħallmet fl-iskola tal-Kelma ta’ Alla; dan għamel fiha l-Ispirtu s-Santu, meta minn ġuf ommha, sa mit-tnissil, ħarisha minn kull tebgħa tad-dnub… Read more »

We show love through our actions – Bishop Galea-Curmi

08/05/2023

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Min iżomm il-kmandamenti tiegħi u jħarishom, dak hu li jħobbni” (Ġw 14:21). Hekk jgħid Ġesù llum, fl-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann, lid-dixxipli tiegħu; u f’din is-silta qasira jenfasizza ħafna l-imħabba – isemmiha seba’ darbiet. Imma mhux hawn biss. Anke ftit qabel, f’dan l-istess diskors tal-Aħħar Ċena, Ġesù kien tkellem fuq l-imħabba u qal lid-dixxipli: “Nagħtikom kmandament ġdid: li tħobbu lil xulxin. Bħalma ħabbejtkom jien, hekk ukoll ħobbu intom lil xulxin” (Ġw 13:34)… Read more »

If we have a stone in our shoe, let us get rid of it – Archbishop

09/05/2023   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Dan l-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna u li huwa mill-aħħar kapitlu tal-Evanġelju ta’ San Mark, aħna l-Maltin inqisuh bħala Evanġelju għażiż. Naqrawh fil-festa tan-Nawfraġju tal-Appostlu Missierna San Pawl. Naqrawh ukoll proprju fil-festa ta’ San Ġorġ Preca, li biex nikkwotaw lil San Ġwanni Pawlu II, huwa meqjus bħala t-tieni Missier tagħna fil-fidi. 

Imma għaliex intgħażel dan l-Evanġelju għal din il-festa? … Read more »

He meets us in the most profound needs of our life – Bishop Galea-Curmi

07/05/2023

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Hemm karatteristika speċjali li ssibha dejjem fil-kliem ta’ Ġesù mad-dixxipli tiegħu: il-kliem tiegħu hu kliem ta’ inkoraġġiment, kliem li jagħmlilhom il-qalb, u jgħinhom ħalli qatt ma jaqtgħu qalbhom fost it-taħwid u l-biżgħat li ġieli jkollhom. Fl-Evanġelju tal-lum, Ġesù hekk jibda l-kliem tiegħu lid-dixxipli: “Tħallux qalbkom titħawwad!” (Ġw 14:1)

Nixtieqkom tinnutaw li Ġesù jitkellem fuq il-qalb – jgħid “qalbkom”. Mhux qed jgħid biss fuq ħsibijiet li joħolqu konfużjoni fil-moħħ, imma iktar minn hekk, għax il-qalb tfisser il-ħajja tal-bniedem fil-profondità tagħha… Read more »
