Priests reflect on the challenges and opportunities of vocations in today’s society

Matul il‑laqgħat ta’ aġġornament għall‑kleru ta’ din is‑sena, is‑saċerdoti djoċesani u reliġjużi ġew imħeġġa jiddiskutu l‑isfidi u l‑opportunitajiet relatati mal‑vokazzjonijiet. Ispirati mill‑episodju tal‑Vanġelu tad‑dixxipli fit‑triq lejn Għemmaws, il‑laqgħat kienu mqassma fuq tliet temi prinċipali: li niltaqgħu, nisimgħu u nirrispondu.

Biex jiffaċilitaw dan il‑proċess ta’ riflessjoni u djalogu, ġew mistiedna is‑Sur Lawrence Zammit mill‑kumpanija MISCO u Patri Frankie Cini MSSP li ppreżentaw ir‑realtà tal‑vokazzjonijiet f’Malta u għenu lis‑saċerdoti jirriflettu fuq kif is‑soċjetà Maltija tħares lejn is‑saċerdot… Read more »

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

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Lili tħalluni waħdi” (Ġw 16:32). Dan hu l-kliem li jgħid Ġesù lid-dixxipli tiegħu – qegħdin hawnhekk fl-Aħħar Ċena, ftit qabel ma jgħaddi għall-passjoni u l-mewt tiegħu. Hawn mal-ewwel jolqotna kif dan il-kliem li jgħid Ġesù, li hu kliem ħiereġ mill-imħabba tiegħu lejn id-dixxipli, mhuwiex kliem li jikkundanna. Meta qed jgħid “lili tħalluni waħdi”, qed jgħid verità, qed jgħid x’se jiġri. Imma ma jgħidux b’ton ta’ kundanna, anzi jgħidu b’ton li jrid jiġbed l-attenzjoni tagħhom, tad-dixxipli, li hawn qalulu li issa qed jifhmuh u jemmnu, li, fil-fatt, ftit wara dad-diskors se jħalluh waħdu… Read more »
