At that time: Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, went up on the mountain, and sat down there. Great crowds came to him, having with them the lame, the blind, the deformed, the mute, and many others.

The crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the deformed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind able to see, and they glorified the God of Israel… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Lil wieħed ngħidlu ‘mur’, u jmur; lill-ieħor ngħidlu ‘ejja’, u jiġi” (Mt 8:9). Dan hu l-kliem taċ-ċenturjun fl-Evanġelju llum, meta kien qed jitkellem ma’ Ġesù. Qed jgħidlu l-esperjenza tiegħu kif, għall-kelma tiegħu, in-nies li kellu miegħu kienu jobdu. Kien hemm dixxiplina. Iġib l-għira, kultant, dan iċ-ċenturjun kif kienu jimxu l-affarijiet man-nies li kien jieħu ħsieb! Imma kellu qaddej li kien marid ħafna, u lil dan ma setax jgħidlu “kun imfejjaq” u jfiq… Read more »

Madwar 20 sena ilu, omm ta’ żewġt itfal li kienet qed tistenna tarbija ingħatat l-aħbar li t-tarbija fil-ġuf mhux qed jiżviluppalha l-moħħ kif mistenni, u li kawża ta’ hekk, ikun aħjar li tirreferi għall-abort, liema parir ġie rrifjutat mill-ġenituri.
Din l-istorja ħarġet fil-beraħ matul simpożju dwar il-kura ħolistika għall-familji li qed jistennew tarbija li għandha xi forma ta’ diżabilità, organizzat mil-Life Network Foundation, fejn bosta ommijiet kif ukoll professjonisti fil-qasam mediku esprimew l-esperjenzi u sitwazzjonijiet xejn faċli li jaffaċċjaw… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Qawwu qalbkom u erfgħu raskom” (Lq 21:28). Dan il-kliem li jgħid Ġesù llum fl-Evanġelju jgħidu fost kliem ieħor li, mal-ewwel daqqa ta’ għajn, mhuwiex kliem li jqawwilna qalbna u jgħinna nerfgħu rasna.
F’din is-silta, Ġesù qed jitkellem fuq it-tieni miġja tiegħu. Għall-bidu, qisu hu kliem li intenzjonat biex ibeżżagħna u jdaħħalna f’qoxortna. Imma, fil-fatt, il-kliem ta’ Ġesù mhuwiex biex ibeżża’, imma biex jurina r-realtà kif inhi… Read more »
