An open invitation – Bishop Galea-Curmi

29/04/2024   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Intom ilkoll li tinsabu mħabbtin u mtaqqlin” (Mt 11:28). Dan hu li jgħid Ġesù llum fl-Evanġelju skont San Mattew, u qed jindirizza żgur lil ħafna minna. Għax żgur li ħafna minna, f’mument jew ieħor tal-ħajja, ngħaddu mit-taħbit u mit-toqol. Għalhekk qed jagħmel stedina speċjali lilna li nkunu mħabbtin u mtaqqlin. Nixtieq naraw din is-silta tal-Evanġelju llum, u ħa nsemmi erba’ punti li Ġesù jagħmel, u li huma tassew ta’ ġid għall-ħajja tagħna… Read more »

With Him as one – Bishop Galea-Curmi

28/04/2024   Parish Church, Balzan

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Jiena d-dielja, intom il-friegħi” (Ġw 15:5). Dan hu l-kliem ta’ Ġesù fl-Evanġelju llum, li qalu tant snin ilu imma jerġa’ jgħidu lilna llum bl-istess qawwa. Ma tridx tkun tifhem bilfors fid-dwieli biex taqbad dak li qed jgħid. Ġesù qed jitkellem ma’ nies li forsi kienu midħla aktar minna llum tad-dwieli, imma qed jagħti messaġġ sabiħ lid-dixxipli tiegħu li fehmuh tajjeb, u lilna li żgur nistgħu nifhmuh tajjeb ukoll u napprezzaw dak li jrid iwasslilna llum u kemm jiswa għall-ħajja tagħna. 

Nixtieq insemmi tliet punti prinċipali li hemm f’din is-silta u li jgħoddu ħafna għall-ħajja tagħna… Read more »

At that time Jesus said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. 

Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Read more »
