To have everlasting life – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

  Dar Ħanin Samaritan Chapel, Santa Venera

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“X’għandi nagħmel biex nikseb il-ħajja ta’ dejjem?” (Mk 10:17) Din hija l-mistoqsija li għamel dan ir-raġel lil Ġesù, kif rajna llum fl-Evanġelju skond San Mark. L-Evanġelju jgħid illi dan mar jgħaġġel, inxteħet għalkupptejh, u għamillu din il-mistoqsija. Kellu ħerqa biex ikun jaf x’għandu jagħmel biex jikseb il-ħajja ta’ dejjem.

Din hija mistoqsija importanti ħafna. Aħna nemmnu li hemm il-qofol: li aħna naħsbu tassew mhux biss f’din il-ħajja ta’ issa, is-snin li ngħixu hawn, imma fil-ħajja li tibqa’, li tmur lil hinn għall-ħajja ta’ dejjem… Read more »

  Mount St Joseph Retreat House, Mosta

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Ġesù kien kemm-il darba mgħajjar b’diversi kliem. Kien hemm min qal li kien wikkiel u sakranazz, kien hemm min qal li għandu fih spirtu ħażin u li għandu fih xitan. Kien jaqla’ diversi tgħajjir u insulti.

Imma forsi tal-lum hija l-agħar. Fl-Evanġelju jgħidu li dak li qed jagħmel, qed jagħmlu bis-saħħa tax-xitan, għalhekk li hu strument tax-xitan. U dan qed jgħidu għall-ġid li qed jagħmel… Read more »
