News from the Church in Malta
Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!
Among the various means by which the Holy Spirit implements His work of sanctification in the Church – the Word of God, the Sacraments, prayer – there is one in entirely particular, and it is Marian piety.

“Afda fil-Mulej u agħmel it-tajjeb” (Salm 37:3). Dan hu li għedna fis-salm illum, u dan hu li nixtieq nawgura lil kull wieħed u waħda minnkom, għeżież studenti li qed tiċċelebraw Jum il-Gradwazzjoni tagħkom. Hija din it-talba tiegħi: biex fil-ħajja tagħkom, u fil-professjoni tagħkom, tfittxu li jkollkom fiduċja fil-Mulej, tafdaw fih, u tagħmlu dejjem dak li hu tajjeb.

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Dan huwa l-kliem li jgħid Ġesù llum fl-Evanġelju skont San Luqa, meta qed jitkellem fuq min jagħti skandlu. Hu juża dan il-kliem kulurit biex jagħti dan il-messaġġ qawwi. Ġebla ta’ tħin hi ġebla kbira b’toqba fin-nofs. Jekk inti tagħmilha ma’ għonq xi ħadd u titfgħu l-baħar, hu ovvju li dan mhux se jibqa’ fil-wiċċ, imma se jinżel fil-qiegħ tal-baħar, se jisparixxi… Read more »
