Jesus said to his disciples: “Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him.”
Judas, not the Iscariot, said to him, “Master, (then) what happened that you will reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”
Jesus answered and said to him, “Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him… Read more »
As I have loved you – Bishop Galea‑Curmi
17/05/2025L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Bħalma ħabbejtkom jien, hekk ukoll ħobbu intom lil xulxin” (Ġw 13:34). Dan il-kliem dwar l-imħabba Ġesù qed jgħidu f’ċirkustanzi verament diffiċli u iebsa. Hawnhekk kien qiegħed fl-Aħħar Ċena, meta mdawwar bit-tnax. Jaf għal xiex dieħel, jaf li wieħed minnhom se jittradih – fil-fatt, din is-silta tibda “kif ħareġ Ġuda” (Ġw 13:31), turi meta Ġuda ħareġ miċ-ċenaklu biex jiftiehem ħalli jittradih – jaf li wieħed minnhom, Pietru, se jiċħdu, jaf li se jabbandunawh; u madankollu, f’dan l-ambjent hekk iebes, flok jirrabja u jurihom kemm jiddispjaċih, jgħidilhom biex iħobbu lil xulxin: “Nagħtikom kmandament ġdid: li tħobbu lil xulxin… Read more »

Love is built in tiny steps, not by the exceptional things – The Archbishop
Mass on the fifth Sunday of Easter
18/05/2025 The Parish Church of St Venera, Santa VeneraL-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Ġesù jagħtina għażla, imma wkoll sinjal li aħna qed nimxu warajh. Forsi naħsbu li din hi għażla faċli; imma nafu wkoll li din l-għażla li qed jitlobna Ġesù fiha wkoll id-diffikultà tagħha. “Minn dan jagħraf kulħadd li intom dixxipli tiegħi, jiġifieri, jekk ikollkom l-imħabba bejnietkom” (Ġw 13:35). Mhux qed jagħtina kriterju tqil li rridu nkunu bravi, qaddisin, li nkunu studjajna ħafna, li jkollna ħafna għerf ta’ din id-dinja; qed jitlobna l-imħabba… Read more »

St Teresa: an example we can follow – The Archbishop
Mass on the 100th anniversary of the canonization of Saint Teresa of the Child Jesus
17/05/2025 St. Theresa Sanctuary Church, BirkirkaraL-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Ġesù jitlobna li jagħrfuna mill-imħabba ta’ bejnietna; u jagħtina dan il-kmandament: “Ħobbu lil xulxin” (Ġw 13:34). Hu stess jgħid li l-liġi u l-Profeti jinġabru fl-imħabba; u San Pawl Appostlu Missierna jgħidilna: jista’ jkollna ħafna skills, ħafna virtujiet, ħafna kapaċitajiet; imma jekk ma jkollniex l-imħabba, nkunu frugħa.
Aħna llum qegħdin infakkru l-100 sena mill-kanonizzazzjoni ta’ dik li l-providenza tagħtina bħala d-Duttur tal-imħabba… Read more »
