Psalm: 147:12-13,14-15,19-20

The disciples were on the way, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went ahead of them. They were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. Taking the Twelve aside again, he began to tell them what was going to happen to him. “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and hand him over to the Gentiles who will mock him, spit upon him, scourge him, and put him to death, but after three days he will rise.”

Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” He replied, “What do you wish (me) to do for you?” They answered him, “Grant that in your glory we may sit one at your right and the other at your left.” Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“X’għandi nagħmel biex nikseb il-ħajja ta’ dejjem?” (Mk 10:17) Din hija l-mistoqsija li dan ir-raġel jagħmel fl-Evanġelju tal-lum skont San Mark. Jagħmilha lil Ġesù meta kien se jaqbad it-triq, u dar-raġel mar jgħaġġel, inxteħet għarkupptejh quddiemu u għamillu din il-mistoqsija.  Ħafna drabi, meta naqraw din is-silta, moħħna jmur fuq dan ir-raġel u speċjalment fuq kif tispiċċa s-silta: li wara dan id-djalogu ma’ Ġesù, u wara li Ġesù għamillu stedina, dan ir-raġel “qarras wiċċu u telaq b’qalbu sewda” (Mk 10:22) Bir-raġun, għax narawha tistona kif titkellem ma’ Ġesù, u wara li titkellem miegħu, titlaq b’wiċċek imqarras u b’qalbek sewda… Read more »

A feast of love – Bishop Galea-Curmi

26/05/2024   Parish Church, Balzan

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Agħmlu dixxipli mill-ġnus kollha, u għammduhom fl-isem tal-Missier u tal-Iben u tal-Ispirtu s-Santu” (Mt 28:19). Dawn kienu fost l-aħħar kliem li qal Ġesù fl-Evanġelju skond San Mattew, li qal lill-ħdax qabel ma tela’ s-sema. Qalilhom dal-kliem biex jgħaddilhom il-missjoni li kien wettaq hu, missjoni ta’ salvazzjoni skond ir-rieda ta’ Alla. Hu ried li din il-missjoni titkompla minnhom u tasal sal-ġnus kollha, filwaqt li wegħidhom: “Jiena magħkom dejjem, sal-aħħar taż-żmien” (Mt 28:20)… Read more »
