Dan għaliex il-qari li smajna llum mill-Evanġelju ta’ San Ġwann iseħħ wara li Ġesù jqajjem lill-ħabib tiegħu Lazzru mill-imwiet… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“B’wiċċu minn quddiem qiegħed jitkellem” (Ġw 7:26). Dan hu li jgħidu n-nies hawnhekk fuq Ġesù, fl-Evanġelju skond San Ġwann, u qed jiskantaw għax hu qed jitkellem b’wiċċu minn quddiem fit-tempju, imma jafu li hemm min irid joqtlu. Qegħdin hawnhekk fil-festa tal-Għerejjex, u s-seba’ kapitlu ta’ San Ġwann jitkellem proprju fuq din il-festa. Ġesù ma kienx sejjer fil-bidu. Fil-fatt, qabel din is-silta, il-qraba tiegħu jgħidulu: mhux aħjar titla’ inti? … Read more »

Dan affermah il-Papa Franġisku lbieraħ f’messaġġ mibgħut lill-parteċipanti tat-3 Kungress tal-Amerika Latina, li qed jinżamm fil-Panama bejn it-12 u l-14 ta’ Marzu.
Organizzat miċ-Ċentru għall-Protezzjoni tal-Minuri (CEPROME), dan l-avveniment ġabar rappreżentanti tal-Knisja mir-reġjun biex jirriflettu fuq it-tema: “Vulnerabbiltà u abbuż: Lejn viżjoni usa’ tal-prevenzjoni”… Read more »

Il-Kappella tas-Sagra Familja f’Birżebbuġa se titreġġa’ għall-istat oriġinali tagħha wara li l-Awtorità tal-Ippjanar ħarġet permess għal proġett ta’ restawr bi ftehim bejn il-Parroċċa ta’ San Pietru u l-Gvern.
Il-kampnari u l-portiku tal-kappella kienu tneħħew fl-1978 minħabba tħassib dwar is-sigurtà kawża ta’ snin ta’ negliġenza, iżda fl-aħħar snin inħass il-bżonn li jsir dan il-proġett u l-kappella tirritorna għal kif kienet qabel.
