A feast of love – Bishop Galea-Curmi

26/05/2024   Parish Church, Balzan

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Agħmlu dixxipli mill-ġnus kollha, u għammduhom fl-isem tal-Missier u tal-Iben u tal-Ispirtu s-Santu” (Mt 28:19). Dawn kienu fost l-aħħar kliem li qal Ġesù fl-Evanġelju skond San Mattew, li qal lill-ħdax qabel ma tela’ s-sema. Qalilhom dal-kliem biex jgħaddilhom il-missjoni li kien wettaq hu, missjoni ta’ salvazzjoni skond ir-rieda ta’ Alla. Hu ried li din il-missjoni titkompla minnhom u tasal sal-ġnus kollha, filwaqt li wegħidhom: “Jiena magħkom dejjem, sal-aħħar taż-żmien” (Mt 28:20)… Read more »

Pope at Angelus: The Holy Spirit accompanies us in life

Mass on World Children's Day

26/05/2024   St. Peter's Square, Vatican

A child once asked his mom: what is God like? What does it mean that God is Trinity? In response, his mother did this: she took him in her arms, then hugged his father too, and when all three of them were within this embrace, she said: “this how God is!”

Dear children, are you happy when your mom and dad hug you? … Read more »

As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus answered him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother.’”

He replied and said to him, “Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth.” Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, “You are lacking in one thing… Read more »

Our faith should not be built on fear and visions – The Archbishop

Mass on the Solemnity of the Blessed Trinity

26/05/2024   The Parish Church of Jesus of Nazareth, Tas-Sliema

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

“Agħmlu dixxipli mill-ġnus kollha” (Mt 28:19). Din hi l-istedina ħerqana ta’ Ġesù li smajna fl-Evanġelju għall-festa tal-lum. “Għammduhom fl-isem tal-Missier, u tal-Iben u tal-Ispirtu s-Santu” (Mt 28:19). Mela l-kmand ta’ Ġesù mhuwiex biss ix-xandir tal-Bxara t-Tajba, u li aħna l-Insara f’kuntatt mad-dinja, nattiraw iżjed nies għall-familja ta’ Ġesù; imma wkoll li bil-qawwa tiegħu, aħna u l-umanità, nidħlu fil-ħajja ta’ Alla li hu mħabba: il-Missier, u l-Iben, u l-Ispirtu s-Santu… Read more »

Well needed help – Bishop Galea-Curmi

24/05/2024   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Il-festa ta’ Marija Għajnuna tal-Insara kien introduċiha bħala festa l-Papa Piju VII b’ringrazzjament wara li hu nħeles minn priġunier ta’ Napuljun fejn kien żammu f’Fontainbleu bejn l-1809 u l-1814. Meta Napuljun spiċċa minn imperatur u kien eżiljat hu f’Elba, il-Papa rritorna Ruma u għamel din il-festa, iffissa d-data tal-24 ta’ Mejju bħala l-jum tal-festa ta’ Marija Għajnuna tal-Insara.

Hija festa sabiħa ħafna, imma tfakkarna f’dan it-titlu “Għajnuna tal-Insara” li hu antik, anzi wieħed mit-titli l-aktar antiki… Read more »
