The Archbishop’s message to new deacons: Serve the Church with a gentle heart

Mass with the ordination of four new deacons

  St John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Qed nippreżentaw lill-Mulej erba’ żgħażagħ li quddiem il-Knisja għadhom kemm ikkonfermaw mhux biss il-prezenża tagħhom imma wkoll id-deċiżjoni tagħhom. Immedjatament wara din l-omelija, fid-djalogu mal-Isqof se jieħdu impenji għal ħajjithom kollha. Imma l-impenn l-iżjed fundamentali u li l-Knisja titlob fuqhom illum hu dak li jibqgħu sħaħ fit-talb. Hekk titlob il-Knisja fuq id-djakni il-ġodda – biex bil-ħeġġa fil-ħidma tagħhom ikollhom servizz b’qalb ħelwa u jżommu ruħhom sħaħ sal-aħħar fit-talb… Read more »

God wants the little we can give – Bishop Galea-Curmi

  The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Mnejn nixtru l-ħobż biex dawn ikollhom x’jieklu?” (Ġw 6:5) Dan huwa l-kliem ta’ Ġesù li qal lil Filippu, u din hija l-ewwel reazzjoni ta’ Ġesù meta ra l-kotra ta’ nies ġejja lejh. Ġesù u d-dixxipli kienu marru u qagħdu bilqiegħda fuq l-għolja. Ra dawn in-nies ġejjin. Ir-reazzjoni tiegħu ma kinetx: Marelli, reġgħu ġew, ara x’ġej! Imma kienet li jagħraf il-bżonn tagħhom ta’ dak il-ħin: kellhom bżonn jieklu. 

Meta staqsa dil-mistoqsija lil Filippu “mnejn nixtru l-ħobż” ma kinetx għax ried risposta minn Filippu biex jgħidlu fejn se jmur ħa jixtri… Read more »

When it was evening, the disciples of Jesus went down to the sea, embarked in a boat, and went across the sea to Capernaum. It had already grown dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The sea was stirred up because a strong wind was blowing.

When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they began to be afraid… Read more »
