Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
M’ilux kien hemm diversi nies li rċevew messaġġ li kien jgħid li ġej Ġesù fuq għolja f’Malta. Xi wħud riedu li jkunu hemm, fuq l-għolja, f’din l-okkażjoni. Niftiehmu, aħna għandna lil Ġesù dejjem hawn magħna fil-Knisja, u fiċ-ċelebrazzjoni tal-Ewkaristija jkollna l-akbar miraklu li jseħħ u li narawh bl-għajnejn tal-fidi. Imma tifhem li l-għolja hi l-post ideali għal min jidhirlu li għandu viżjoni speċjali… Read more »
Dear brothers and sisters, buongiorno!
The Gospel of this second Sunday of Lent presents us with the episode of the Transfiguration of Jesus (cf. Mk 9:2-10).
After having announced his Passion to the disciples, Jesus takes Peter, James, and John with him and goes up a high mountain, and physically manifests himself there in all his light. In this way, he reveals to them the meaning of what they had experienced together up to that moment… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Ħalli l-offerta tiegħek hemmhekk quddiem l-artal, u mur l-ewwel irranġa ma’ ħuk, imbagħad ejja tella’ l-offerta tiegħek” (Mt 5:24). Dan hu l-kliem li jgħid Ġesù llum lid-dixxipli tiegħu fl-Evanġelju, meta qed jgħidilhom kif għandhom iġibu ruħhom mal-oħrajn: l-imħabba li tkun f’qalbhom, mhux il-mibegħda; il-maħfra u mhux b’xi mod il-vendikazzjoni. Hawn jgħid li jekk tkun qed itella’ l-offerta tiegħek fuq l-artal, u hemm “tiftakar li ħuk għandu xi ħaġa kontra tiegħek” (Mt 5:23), ħalli l-offerta hemmhekk, u mur l-ewwel irranġa ma’ ħuk, imbagħad ejja tella’ l-offerta tiegħek… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Ħbieb, kien imisskom smajtu minni u ma tlaqtux minn Kreta. Kontu teħilsu minn din il-ħsara u dan it-telf” (Atti 27:21). Dan huwa l-kliem li jgħid Pawlu lin-nies fuq il-ġifen, kif smajna fl-Atti tal-Appostli. Fil-fatt hekk kien għamel ftit qabel din is-silta, kien wissa b’mod ċar. Kien qalilhom: “Qiegħed nara li s-safra se tkun ta’ ħsara u telf kbir, mhux biss għat-tagħbija u l-ġifen, imma għal ħajjitna wkoll” (Atti 27:10)… Read more »
