  Collegiate Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, Naxxar

Ritratt: Arċidjoċesi ta’ Malta – Ian Noel Pace L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

L-arblu tar-razza ta’ Ġesù, skont l-Evanġelju ta’ San Mattew, jikkonċerna l-Iben t’Alla magħmul bniedem fil-ġuf ta’ Marija ta’ Nazaret. Hu bin David u bin Abraham, mhuwiex l-arblu tan-nisel ta’ Marija, imma huwa ta’ Ġużeppi. Marija tidħol f’dan l-arblu tar-razza għax hi mwiegħda bħala għarusa ta’ Ġużeppi, bin David u bin Abraham.

  The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Il-qadim tajjeb!” (Lq 5:39). Dan hu l-kliem tal-aħħar fl-Evanġelju llum, meta Ġesù jġib it-tixbiha ta’ nbid ġdid li jrid jitqiegħed f’damiġġani ġodda. Meta nisimgħu “il-qadim tajjeb”, aħna mal-ewwel nibdew naħsbu kemm kultant huwa veru li l-qadim huwa tajjeb. Tant hu hekk li hemm affarijiet qodma li aħna għandna nippreservaw, li għandna nagħmlu ħilitna biex inżommuhom għax huma sinjal ukoll sabiħ tal-imgħoddi… Read more »

Like children digging in the earth, we are called to dig beneath the surface of life with curiosity and trust to discover the hidden treasure of God’s Kingdom. Once freed from persecution, the early Christians began to excavate the land in places connected to Jesus’ passion, death, and resurrection. Among them was the mother of Emperor Constantine, Empress Helena, who, motivated by her humble faith, found Jesus’ cross in Jerusalem… Read more »
