It is not good that man should be alone – The Pope on the day dedicated to the sick

11/02/2024

“It is not good that man should be alone” (cf. Gen 2:18). From the beginning, God, who is love, created us for communion and endowed us with an innate capacity to enter into relationship with others. Our lives, reflecting in the image of the Trinity, are meant to attain fulfilment through a network of relationships, friendships and love, both given and received. We were created to be together, not alone… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Iż-żewġ sinjali li ssieħbu l-kelma li ħallielna Pawlu huma propju l-ħelsien mill-lifgħa velenuża u l-fejqan ta’ missier Publiju u tal-morda kollha tal-gżira. Huma dawn iż-żewġ sinjali fost il-lista li jsemmi Ġesù fl-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna, li jsiru sinjal tal-qawwa tiegħu u tal-preżenza tiegħu fostna. Illum f’dan il-jum solenni tal-10 ta’ Frar, nitolbu lill-Mulej ikun għalina salvatur u jkun għalina emanuel… Read more »

In those days, Jesus said to the Eleven, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He who believes and is baptised will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.” 

So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that attended it… Read more »

Faith is not built on what is sensational – Bishop Galea-Curmi

09/02/2024   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Wissiehom biex ma jgħidu lil ħadd” (Mk 7:36). Dan hu li naqraw fuq Ġesù llum, fl-Evanġelju skont San Mark, wara li fejjaq lil wieħed raġel li kien trux u mbikkem. L-Evanġelju jgħid li lil dan ir-raġel ġabuh quddiem Ġesù biex “iqiegħed idejh fuqu” (Mk 7:32). U li jagħmel Ġesù l-ewwel hu li joħorġu għalih waħdu minn qalb in-nies. Fl-Evanġelju hemm dik id-deskrizzjoni ta’ kif Ġesù jfejqu u kif dal-bniedem beda jisma’ u beda jitkellem… Read more »
