A word with healing power – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

01/12/2025   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa, Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Sinjur, ma jistħoqqlix li tidħol taħt is-saqaf tiegħi. Iżda int għid kelma biss u l-qaddej tiegħi jfiq” (Mt 8:8). Dan il-kliem li nsibu llum fl-Evanġelju llum skont San Mattew – il-kliem li ċ-ċenturjun qal lil Ġesù – hu l-kliem li aħna stess ngħidu dejjem f’kull quddiesa. Proprju fil-mument għażiż qabel se nirċievu lil Ġesù Ewkaristija, ngħidulu: “Mulej, ma jistħoqqlix li tidħol taħt is-saqaf tiegħi, iżda għid kelma waħda u ruħi tkun imfejqa”… Read more »

Let’s be ready – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

30/11/2025   The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Tal-Ħerba, Birkirkara

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Kunu lesti” (Mt 24:44). Dawn iż-żewġ kelmiet, li nsibuhom fl-Evanġelju llum u li Ġesù qal lid-dixxipli tiegħu, għandhom it-tifsira ta’ dak li l-Kelma ta’ Alla trid tgħidilna llum, fl-Ewwel Ħadd tal-Avvent. Kunu lesti.

Żewġ miġjiet

Għal xiex inlestu? Kif nafu, l-Avvent jippreparana għaż-żmien meta aħna niċċelebraw il-miġja tas-Salvatur fostna, għall-Milied, għal dak li sar tant snin ilu imma li hija l-ġrajja tas-salvazzjoni ta’ kull żmien – Alla li sar bniedem fostna. 

Imma fl-istess waqt l-Avvent jippreparana wkoll għat-tieni miġja ta’ Ġesù fil-glorja… Read more »

We need the guidance of our creator – The Archbishop

Archbishop urges society to seek divine direction while warning of digital dangers during Advent season

01/12/2025

Archbishop Charles Scicluna has called on people to trust in God’s guidance for humanity, comparing divine direction to following a manufacturer’s instructions for a product.

“When you buy something, you always trust the creator of the product to give you guidance on how to use it without wasting time. In the same way, one should listen to one’s creator, to God, to guide them in life,” Monsignor Scicluna said during a special interview on RTK103’s Għal Kulħadd presented by Christine Delicata… Read more »
