The question we must ask – Bishop Galea-Curmi

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

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Marru lejn Kafarnahum ifittxu lil Ġesù” (Ġw 6:24). Hekk naqraw fuq dawn in-nies fl-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann. Naraw din il-ħerqa kbira li kellhom biex isibu lil Ġesù. Fil-fatt l-Evanġelju jgħid li kien hemm dgħajsa waħda u raw li Ġesù ma kienx fiha, imbagħad stennew, ġew id-dgħajjes minn Tiberija u lanqas hemm ma kien Ġesù, imma tant riedu jsibu lil Ġesù li telgħu fuq id-dgħajjes huma u marru lejn Kafarnahum biex ifittxu lil Ġesù… Read more »

Serenity and courage – Bishop Galea-Curmi

  Pax et Bonum, Mosta

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Is-sliem għalikom” (Lq 24:36). Din hija t-tislima li jagħti Ġesù meta jidher lid-dixxipli tiegħu wara li qam mill-mewt. U kull meta jiltaqa’ magħhom, dejjem jagħtihom din it-tislima: “is-sliem għalikom”. Hija mhux biss tislima, imma hi fil-fatt realtà, għaliex Ġesù hu dak li jġib tassew il-paċi fil-qalb tad-dixxipli tiegħu. Niftakru li kien qalilhom dan fl-Aħħar Ċena, bħalma naqraw fl-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann: “Jien inħallilkom is-sliem… Read more »

Dear brothers and sisters, buongiorno, happy Sunday!

Today the Gospel takes us back to the evening of Passover. The apostles are gathered in the Upper Room, when the two disciples return from Emmaus and tell of their encounter with Jesus. And as they are expressing the joy of their experience, the Risen One appears to all the community. Jesus arrives precisely while they are sharing the story of the encounter with HimRead more »

Amended Paola parish cafeteria application rules out cooking on premises

The Paola Parish of Christ the King will be amending its planning application for a small cafeteria on the church roof to specify that no food can be cooked on the premises.

Following discussions between the Archdiocese of Malta and parish priest Fr Marc André Camilleri, it was agreed that instead of a 4D licence, the parish would seek a 4C licence which does not permit cooking to take place on the premises. 

A spokesperson for the Archdiocese said: “There was never any intention to operate a restaurant on the roof of the parish church but we agreed it would be prudent for the parish to amend its application to eliminate further conjecture, speculation and misconceptions… Read more »
