Ignorance and greed: the greatest enemies of our heritage and our country – The Archbishop

Mass on the First Advent Sunday and the 60th anniversary of the founding of Din l-Art Ħelwa

30/11/2025   The Chapel of Our Lady of Victory, Valletta

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù jitkellem dwar il-miġja tiegħu; is-siegħa li fiha jiġi Bin il-Bniedem. Fl-ewwel parti tal-Avvent, propju niftakru u nikkommemoraw din il-miġja ta’ Ġesù li għadha ma seħħitx. Wara l-konsagrazzjoni, f’waħda mill-akklamazzjonijiet li ngħidu, nitolbu hekk:

“Inħabbru l-mewt tiegħek Mulej,
Inxandru bil-ferħ il-qawmien tiegħek
Nistennewk sa ma tiġi fil-glorja.”

Dan il-mument, li nitolbuh fil-quddiesa, infakkru lilna nfusna li aħna qegħdin fi stennija… Read more »

Trees that teach us – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

28/11/2025   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa, Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Ħarsu lejn is-siġra tat-tin u s-siġar l-oħra” (Lq 21:29). Dan hu li jgħid Ġesù lid-dixxipli tiegħu, u Ġesù kien spiss juża l-eżempji ta’ dak li tara fil-ħolqien biex, permezz ta’ dan, iwassal il-messaġġ tiegħu. Diġà hu messaġġ fih innifsu meta Ġesù jgħid “Ħarsu lejn is-siġar tat-tin u s-siġar l-oħra”, għax hemmhekk jurina kif kien jgħożż il-ħolqien ta’ Alla.

L-ewwel messaġġ li għandna nieħdu hu li l-ħolqien qiegħed hemm biex aħna ngħożżuh u nipproteġuh, mhux biex nirrovinawh… Read more »
