L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Din is-silta mill-ewwel kapitlu tal-Evanġelju ta’ San Mark li qegħdin naqraw din is-sena f’jum il-Ħadd, tagħtina ftit elementi importanti mill-ħajja ta’ kuljum ta’ Ġesù.

Qegħdin fil-belt ta’ Kafarnahum. Kafarnahum kienet il-belt li adotta Ġesù wara li telaq minn Nazaret u kienet punt ta’ riferiment, kienet il-belt fejn kien iħobb jirritorna f’dawk it-tliet snin li għamel iterraq ma’ dak li llum insejħulu Iżrael u l-Palestina, l-Art Imqaddsa, il-Galilija u l- Lhudija… Read more »

The arrival of the King of glory – Bishop Galea-Curmi

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

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Jidħol fit-tempju tiegħu s-Sid li intom qegħdin tfittxu” (Mal 3:1). Dan hu li naqraw illum fil-Ktieb tal-Profeta Malakija, fil-Festa tal-Preżentazzjoni tal-Mulej. U jkompli hekk Malakija, jgħid: “Min se jissaporti l-Jum tal-miġja tiegħu? U min hu li se jieqaf meta jidher?” (Mal 3:2)
