Dear brothers and sisters,
We will continue to meditate on some parables of the Gospel, which are an opportunity to change perspective and open ourselves up to hope. The lack of hope, at times, is due to the fact that we fixate on a certain rigid and closed way of seeing things, and the parables help us to look at them from another point of view… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Jekk xi ħadd iħobbni, iħares kelmti” (Ġw 14:23). Dan hu li jgħid Ġesù fl-Evanġelju. Jirrepetih darbtejn b’mod differenti. Fil-fatt, dan hu parti mid-diskors tiegħu lid-dixxipli fl-Aħħar Ċena fejn, ftit qabel, kien qal lid-dixxipli: “Jekk tħobbuni, ħarsu l-kmandamenti tiegħi” (Ġw 14:15).
