10/11/2025   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Hija tassew talba sabiħa din li l-appostli għamlu lil Ġesù meta qalulu: “Kattar fina l-fidi!” (Lq 17:5) L-appostli kienu viċin Ġesù, kienu qed jaraw ħafna sinjali, jisimgħu t-tagħlim tiegħu, jagħrfu li hemm xi ħaġa speċjali f’Ġesù, jiskopruh dejjem aktar, imma riedu li hu jsaħħaħhom fil-fidi. 

U r-risposta ta’ Ġesù hija li l-fidi, iktar milli tgħid li hi kbira jew żgħira, hi fidi li mbagħad tiżviluppa… Read more »

11/11/2025

Il-Katidral Metropolitan tal-Imdina ser ikun xhieda ta’ esperjenza mużikali nhar il-Ġimgħa, 14 ta’ Novembru 2025, fit-8pm.

Sammut, ser tippreżenta r-Requiem – kapolavur immortali tal-kompożitur Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
