Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

Tifla li tilfet lil ommha minħabba marda terminali stqarret li l-kura palljattiva li ngħatat kienet estendiet il-ħajja tagħha b’erba’ xhur.

Waqt li kienet qed titkellem fil-programm “Live mill-Paroċċa”, Claire Grech, li tilfet lil ommha f’April li għadda, qalet li mill-kura palljattiva jibbenefikaw mhux biss il-pazjenti, iżda wkoll il-qraba tagħhom.

“Lil mummy kienu tawha sa Diċembru… Read more »

Pope at Regina Caeli: ‘Let us walk in the joy of the faith’

Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!

I am still at the beginning of my ministry among you. Before all else, I would like to thank you for your demonstration of affection and ask you to keep supporting me with your prayers and closeness.

In whatever the Lord calls us to do, in both our daily lives and our journey of faith, there are times when we feel inadequate… Read more »

When the impossible is possible with God’s help – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

Mass on the feast of St Rita of Cascia with the annointment of the sick

  The Church of St Mark, Rabat

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Jiena d-dielja, intom il-friegħi. Min jibqa’ fija u jiena fih, dan jagħmel ħafna frott; għax mingħajri ma tistgħu tagħmlu xejn” (Ġw 15:5). Dan hu l-kliem li smajna lil Ġesù jgħid lid-dixxipli tiegħu, fl-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann, u huwa l-kliem li jfisser tassew il-ħajja ta’ Santa Rita.

Aħna llum qed nifirħu fiċ-ċelebrazzjoni tal-125 sena minn meta ġiet dikjarata qaddisa mill-Papa Ljun XIII, proprju llum, u waqt li nifirħu, qed inħarsu lejha u nitolbu l-interċessjoni tagħha għall-Papa Ljun XIV, kif ukoll biex tkompli tkun ta’ ispirazzjoni għalina fil-ħajja tagħna… Read more »

Our option should be palliative care – The Archbishop

Mass on the sixth Sunday of Easter

  The Chapel of the Sacred Heart, Hospice Malta, Santa Venera

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Hi kelma ta’ faraġ, dik li jgħidilna Ġesù llum: “Tħallux qalbkom titħawwad u anqas titbeżża’” (Ġw 14:27). Donnu jafna tajjeb ħafna l-Iben ta’ Alla magħmul bniedem, jaf li ċerti ċirkustanzi diffiċli tal-ħajja, nitħawdu u nibżgħu fihom. Illum waqt li nsellem lill-Hospice, nixtieq insellem lil kull min, għax għandu dijanjosi ta’ marda terminali, iħossu mħawwad u mbeżża’. Dan hu territorju qaddis li jeħtieġ minna mogħdrija, kompassjoni u wens; l-għerf ta’ min jaf jiskot quddiem il-misteru tal-proċess tal-mewt, għax il-mewt hi proċess… Read more »

The biggest love – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

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

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Dan hu l-kmandament tiegħi: li tħobbu lil xulxin kif ħabbejtkom jien” (Ġw 15:12). Dan hu li jgħid Ġesù lid-dixxipli tiegħu fl-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann, u jirrepeti dan darbtejn, kemm fil-bidu u fl-aħħar ta’ din is-silta.

Nixtieq li niftakru ftit meta qalu dan il-kliem. Qalu fl-Aħħar Ċena, meta diġà kien qed jara għalxiex dieħel – il-passjoni u l-mewt – u qed jitkellem ma’ nies li kważi kollha, ħlief wieħed, ma kinux se jkunu qrib tiegħu f’dak li kien se jgħaddi minnu… Read more »
