L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Kemm hu kliem ta’ faraġ dan il-kliem ta’ Ġesù. Qed jgħidilna ċar u tond li hemm rieda ċara tal-missier. Irid li kull wieħed u waħda minnha naslu fid-destinazzjoni tagħna. Id-destinazzjoni tagħna hi waħda: il-post imħejji għalina. Dejjem timpressjonani l-espressjoni ta’ Ġesù meta jilqa’ lil dawk li f’ħajjithom ikunu laqqgħuh fil-proxxmu: “kont bil-ġuħ u tmajtmuni, kont bil-għatx u sqejtuni, kont barrani u lqajtuni” (Mt 25:35)… Read more »

Saints knew they needed God – The Archbishop

Mass on the Feast of All Saints with the participation of members from the Catholic Action in Malta

  St John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Kemm il-Papa Franġisku, kif ukoll il-Papa Benedittu XVI, meta joffru kumment  fuq din il-paġna sabiħa tal-Evanġelju ta’ San Mattew, jgħidulna li din b’xi mod hi profil ta’ Ġesù nnifsu. Dak li hu qed isejjaħ hieni, il-kategorji ta’ nies li għal Ġesù huma henjin, jikkorrispondu mill-qrib għall-qalb qaddisa tiegħu. U min irid jimita lil Ġesù, irid jieħu l-valuri ta’ dawn il-barkiet, ta’ dawn il-beatudnijiet, jistudjahom u jgħixhom… Read more »

In those days: When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. 

Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven.” Read more »
