L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Afda fil-Mulej u agħmel it-tajjeb” (Salm 37:3).

Hija din it-talba tiegħi: biex fil-ħajja tagħkom, u fil-professjoni tagħkom, tfittxu li jkollkom fiduċja fil-Mulej, tafdaw fih, u tagħmlu dejjem dak li hu tajjeb.

Qegħdin miġburin flimkien għall-Ewkaristija li hi ċelebrazzjoni ta’ ringrazzjament… Read more »

The Villa Rosa project prioritises individual needs over community wellbeing

12/11/2024

The Church’s Environment Commission strongly disagrees with the proposed amendments to the local plans that would allow for a massive construction project at Villa Rosa in St Julian’s.

This project, which includes a 34‑story tower and two additional towers of 27 stories, clearly shows that proper consideration has not been given to the impact on the surrounding communities, including increased traffic, visual impact, and reduced access to sunlight due to the shadows it will cast… Read more »

We do not turn a blind eye to what is wrong – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

11/11/2024

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Ikun aktar jaqbillu jekk jorbtulu ma’ għonqu ġebla tat-tħin u jitfgħuh il-baħar” (Lq 17:2). Dan huwa l-kliem li jgħid Ġesù llum fl-Evanġelju skont San Luqa, meta qed jitkellem fuq min jagħti skandlu. Hu juża dan il-kliem kulurit biex jagħti dan il-messaġġ qawwi. Ġebla ta’ tħin hi ġebla kbira b’toqba fin-nofs. Jekk inti tagħmilha ma’ għonq xi ħadd u titfgħu l-baħar, hu ovvju li dan mhux se jibqa’ fil-wiċċ, imma se jinżel fil-qiegħ tal-baħar, se jisparixxi… Read more »
