Il-messaġġ tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Primo di tutto, un caro saluto a Monsignore Davide Cito. Grazie per questa disponibilità. La sua presenza ci ricorda che Roma non è così lontana. E che nostro servizio è anche un respiro molto molto ampio.

Nixtieq nieħu din l-opportunità bħalma nagħmel kull sena, imma hu ta’ privileġġ għalija: nirringrazzja lil kull wieħed u kull waħda minnkom… Read more »

Medicine

30/01/2025

Hawnhekk, fiċ-Ċentru tal-Onkoloġija, il-Mulej jagħtini l-grazzja li napprezza bil-bosta x-xogħol tant dedikat tat-team mediku kollu. Kemm napprezza bil-kbir il-kura li jagħtuna bħala pazjenti kemm għax hi tal-ogħla kwalità u anki wkoll l-għaliex l-mod kif tingħata hu tassew għaref u li jolqot mill-qiegħ nett il-bżonnijiet ta’ kull persuna.

Filwaqt li nuri l-apprezzament tiegħi lejn kulħadd, ħaddiema Maltin u mhux Maltin, nixtieq ninkoraġġiehom ilkoll ħa jibqgħu dejjem jitgħallmu mhux biss mill-kotba imma, u fuq kollox, mill-minjiera bla tarf tal-esperjenza… Read more »

Pope at Audience: Let’s imitate St. Joseph’s holy example and faith

29/01/2025

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!

Today we will continue to contemplate Jesus our hope in the mystery of His origins, as narrated by the infancy Gospels.

Whereas Luke lets us do so from the perspective of the mother, the Virgin Mary, instead Matthew takes the perspective of Joseph, the man who assumes the legal paternity of Jesus, grafting him onto the trunk of Jesse and linking him to the promise made to David… Read more »

In those days, Jesus began to teach by the sea. A very large crowd gathered around him  so that he got into a boat on the sea and sat down. And the whole crowd was beside the sea on land. And he taught them at length in parables, and in the course of his instruction he said to them, “Hear this! … Read more »

From persecutor to evangelizer – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

26/01/2025   Church of St. Paul, Birkirkara

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Il-ġrajja tal-konverżjoni ta’ San Pawl mhijiex biss ġrajja straordinarja fil-ħajja ta’ qaddis kbir imma hija wkoll avveniment importanti ħafna fl-Istorja tal-Knisja. Kif smajna fir-rakkont sabiħ tal-Atti tal-Appostli, u jirrepetih ukoll San Pawl fl-Ittra tiegħu lill-Galatin, Sawl – kif kien jismu – kien jaħdem b’entużjażmu biex isib lis-segwaċi ta’ Ġesù u jitfagħhom fil-ħabs. L-intenzjoni tiegħu kienet li lil dawk li ma kinux qed jimxu skont il-liġi ta’ Alla, kif kien jifhimha hu, jagħmel minn kollox biex jippersegwitahom… Read more »

Opening our hearts to the Spirit of God – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

27/01/2025   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Dan Ġesù għandu fih lil Begħelżebul” (Mk 3:22). Din hija l-akkuża li għamlu l-kittieba lil Ġesù – qalu li għandu fih xitan – mhux biss, imma li qiegħed ikeċċi x-xjaten “bis-saħħa tal-Prinċep tax-xjaten” (Mk 3:22). Hija akkuża serja ħafna, iktar u iktar meta nafu min hu Ġesù.

Li tgħid li hu qed ikeċċi lix-xitan bis-saħħa tax-xitan, qed tgħid proprju l-agħar li tista’ tgħid fuq Ġesù… Read more »

St Sebastian’s hope is built on the certainty that God loves, saves and has mercy – The Archbishop

Mass on the liturgical feast of St Sebastian

27/01/2025   The Parish Church of St Sebastian, Ħal Qormi

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Kunu dejjem lesti biex tagħtu tweġiba lil min jitlobkom, il-għala tat-tama li għandkom. Xi jfisser dan il-kliem, li San Pietru appostlu jikteb fl-ewwel miż-żewġ ittri tiegħu. Qed jgħidilna li fil-ħajja tagħna niltaqgħu ma’ nies li jinnutaw li għandna tama partikolari, mhix tas-soltu. Jistaqsuna, imma għaliex tittamaw?

L-ewwel nett x’inhi t-tama tagħna? It-tama tagħna hi persuna, it-tama tagħna hi Ġesù… Read more »
