L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“La tibżax, għax miegħek jien! La titħassibx, għax Alla tiegħek jien! Jiena nwettqek, jiena ngħinek; inwieżnek bil-leminija rebbieħa tiegħi!” (Iżaija 41:10)
Dan il-kliem li jgħid il-Mulej, li nsibuh fil-Ktieb tal-Profeta Iżaija, hu l-messaġġ li nixtieq inwassal lil kull wieħed u waħda minnkom hekk kif niċċelebraw il-Ġublew tal-persuni morda, u dawk li jikkurawhom u jieħdu ħsiebhom. Hu kliem ta’ tama, u fi kliem San Pawl: “It-tama ma tqarraqx bina” (Rum 5:5)… Read more »

X’fettillek Pawl minn fost tant gżejjer
Fettillek taħbat ma’ Gżiritna?
Tgħid biex mas-snin tibqa’ tfakkarna
Fil-wirt għażiż li ħallejtilna?
X’fettillek Pawl tiġi hawn fostna
Meta Kreta kienet l-aqwa tort?
Tgħid biex tiftħilna dawl għajnejna
Li mingħajr Kristu ngħixu fit-tort?
X’fettillek Pawl toqgħod tinqala’
Tissogra ħajtek fuq il-ġifen? … Read more »

Talba għat-Tqarbina tax-Xewqa
Ġesù, jiena nemmen li Inti tinsab tabilħaqq fis-Sagrament tal-Ewkaristija.
Irrid inħobbok fuq kollox u fuq kulħadd.
Inti taf li nixtieq nirċevik ġewwa fija.
Imma ġaladarba bħalissa ma nistax nilqgħek ġewwa fija sagramentalment,
nitolbok li tiġi fija spiritwalment.
Ejja għandi Ġesù tiegħi, biex jiena niġi għandek… Read more »
