Humility and generosity – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

31/08/2025   Poor Clares Church, St. Julian's

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Hemm żewġ kelmiet li jfissru tajjeb ħafna l-messaġġ li Ġesù jagħti fl-Evanġelju llum lil dawk in-nies li kienu qrib tiegħu, u lilna wkoll: umiltà u ġenerożità. Hawnhekk Ġesù kien mistieden mal-oħrajn, u kienu madwar mejda, u kien qed jinnota kif il-mistednin bdew jagħżlu l-postijiet ta’ quddiem fil-mejda. Ikla bħal din ma kinetx sempliċiment ikla, imma kien ikun hemm  postijiet ta’ unur, u qisu jekk inti ssib post tajjeb, is-siġġu juri kemm int importanti… Read more »

On September 1, Christians across the world unite to mark Creation Day, the annual celebration of the mystery of Creation.

Speaking at the Sunday Angelus, Pope Leo XIV recalled that Pope Francis extended the celebration to Catholics 10 years ago by instituting the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, saying prayer for Creation is “now more urgent and important than ever.”

“Together with all Christians, we celebrate it and extend it into the Season of Creation until October 4, the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi,” he said… Read more »

U inti li qed taqra dan l-artiklu jaf ukoll tħossok li għejejt titħabat mal-ħajja biex tipprova tlaħħaq kollox imma donnu kollox qed jaħrablek minn idejk. Għalfejn il-ħin kollu bil-mowbajl f’idi u meta nieħu ġurnata leave xorta nispiċċa nidħol fl-emails tax-xogħol?

Unyielding courage – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

29/08/2025   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

L-istorja verament kerha, makabra, tal-qtil ta’ Ġwanni l-Battista turina mhux biss il-ħażen, u l-qawwa tal-ħażen, imma wkoll x’jiġifieri li tkun tgħix b’fedeltà u b’kuraġġ dak li temmen fih. Ħa nħarsu ftit lejn dawn in-nies protagonisti, jiġifieri Erodi, Erodja u wkoll magħha bintha, u Ġwanni l-Battista.

Erodi kien is-sultan, kellu l-poter. Kellu ħafna affarijiet taħt idejh. Hawnhekk, għamel din l-ikla, u fil-fatt meta t-tfajla li daħlet tiżfen, għoġbitu, qalilha: “Itlobni kulma trid, u jien nagħtik kulma titlobni” (Mk 6:22) – ara kemm għandi qawwa, nista’ nagħmel li rrid! … Read more »
