“The Church is like a hospital in a battlefield; be enriched with the balm of the word” – Mons. Hector Scerri

Mons. Hector Scerri ppubblika ktieb bl-isem ‘Chiesa, Vieni Fuori’ li jitratta riflessjoni dwar il-Knisja li reġgħet inġabret mill-ġdid.

Waqt it-tnedija ta’ żewġ kotba, wieħed tiegħu u l-ieħor ta’ Mons. Alfred Xuereb dwar l-esperjenza tiegħu mal-Papa Benedittu XVI fir-Refettorju tal-Kurja tal-Arċisqof fil-Furjana, Scerri qal li l-Knisja nġabret mill-ġdid wara li għaddiet “minn dak li nsejħulu eżilju eżistenzjali.”

Kompla li “fid-dawl tal-kelma ta’ Alla anki f’dak li nsibu fil-kotba ta’ Neħemija u Eżra hija l-Knisja li tinġabar mill-ġdid kif għamlu l-profeti fit-testment il-qadim li ġabru l-Knisja mill-ġdid”… Read more »

L-Arċidjoċesi ta’ Malta laqqgħet l-assemblea djoċesana annwali li matulha ngħata rendikont tal-ħidma tal-Knisja f’Malta fil-kuntest tal-proċess ta’ tiġdid ekkleżjali ‘Knisja Waħda, Vjaġġ Wieħed’, kif ukoll it-tħejjija għall-Ġublew tat-Tama li se jiġi ċċelebrat is-sena d-dieħla.

Cherishing of the temple – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

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

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Għar tal-ħallelin” (Lq 19:45). Dan hu l-kliem iebes li jgħid Ġesù llum, kif naqraw fl-Evanġelju skont San Luqa, meta jidħol fit-tempju u jaqbad ikeċċi l-bejjiegħa li kien hemm fit-tempju. Mhux biss ikeċċihom, imma jgħid li d-dar ta’ Alla, dar it-talb, huma għamluha għar tal-ħallelin.

Hu kliem iebes dan, li nsibuh ukoll fl-Evanġelji ta’ San Mattew u San Mark. Il-ġrajja nnifisha hija fl-erba’ Evanġelisti, tant għamlet impatt… Read more »

  ĊAK Hall, Birkirkara

Il-Ħamis 21 ta’ Novembru 2024 ingħata bidu għall-Assemblea Djoċesana 2024. Din bdiet permezz b’mument ta’ talb u riflessjoni minn persuna mhux Maltija, li saret Kattolika wara tliet snin tgħix Malta, u li għamlet dan meta bdiet tirrealizza li hemm vojt f’ħajjitha.
