Two lives – one challenge – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

  The Parish Church of the Annunciation, Balzan

In the parable of today’s Gospel, we are presented with two very different lives:

  • A rich man, clothed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in luxury. He was not just rich; he was extravagantly rich, indifferent, self-absorbed. His life revolved around comfort and pleasure.
  • At his very gate lay Lazarus, a poor man, covered with sores, longing to eat the scraps that fell from the table…

The Archbishop during a religious profession: Sow love wherever you go

  Church of Our Lady of Loreto, Tal-Pietà

Ritratt: Sr Michaela Paris L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

‘Kien imur jinxteħet ħdejn il-bieb ta’ daru.’ (Lq 16:20) Hekk jgħid Ġesù dwar dan il-fqir li kellu ġismu ġerħa waħda u li fir-rakkont tiegħu Ġesù jagħzel li jagħtih l-isem ta’ Lazzru.

Lazzru għal Ġesù kien isem għażiż għax kien l-isem ta’ wieħed mill-ħbieb għeżież tiegħu. Lazzru ħu Marija u ħu Marta kien wieħed min dawk li Ġesù kellu intimita` kbira magħhom u meta qed jirrakonta l-parabbola tal-għani u l-fqir, lill-fqir jagħtih isem; jagħtih l-isem tal-ħabib għażiż tiegħu, Lazzru… Read more »

Your future: you reap what you sow – The Archbishop

Mass on the 26th Sunday of Ordinary time

  The Parish Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, Paola

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù jgħid din il-parabbola, lill-kapijiet, lill-Fariżej. Imma llum din il-kelma tkellem ukoll lill-qalb tiegħi u tiegħek. Xi jrid jgħid Ġesù b’din il-parabbola? L-ewwel nett jitkellem dwar żewġ persuni: wieħed għani, li m’ għandux isem; Ġesù ma jagħtix isem lil dan l-għani. Donnu dan l-għani jidditermina r-realtà u l-identità tiegħu bil-flus u l-għana li għandu.

Imma lill-fqir, Ġesù jagħtih isem – Lazzru – li jfisser “il-Mulej iħenn għalik u jgħinek.” Tgħiduli, imma dan il-fqir li Ġesù semmieh Lazzru, ma tantx sab min jgħinu u min iħenn għalih! … Read more »
