L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Hemm ħames kelmiet li jgħid Ġesù llum fl-Evanġelju li jagħtu direzzjoni importanti għall-ħajja tagħna. Ġesù jgħid: Ħennu, tiġġudikawx, tikkundannawx, aħfru, agħtu.
Ġesù jgħid: “Ħennu bħalma hu ħanin Missierkom” (Lq 6:36). Irid minna li aħna jkollna qalb li tagħder, mimlija kompassjoni.

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
M’ilux kien hemm diversi nies li rċevew messaġġ li kien jgħid li ġej Ġesù fuq għolja f’Malta. Xi wħud riedu li jkunu hemm, fuq l-għolja, f’din l-okkażjoni. Niftiehmu, aħna għandna lil Ġesù dejjem hawn magħna fil-Knisja, u fiċ-ċelebrazzjoni tal-Ewkaristija jkollna l-akbar miraklu li jseħħ u li narawh bl-għajnejn tal-fidi.
