Għaliex iva?! with Fr Hector Scerri

From a simple film he watched in his childhood to various meetings with different Popes. From formation in the Seminary to the teaching he still offers at the University of Malta. The experiences he has gone through in the priesthood are many; however, according to Fr. Hector, nothing is more precious than a priest listening to a person in need of God.

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things.

God does good to everyone – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

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

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Riedu jixħtuh minn hemm fuq għal isfel” (Lq 4:29). Hekk naqraw illum fl-Evanġelju skont San Luqa fuq dawn in-nies li kienu semgħu lil Ġesù fis-sinagoga, imbagħad qabdu u ħarġuh minn hemm, ħaduh fuq xifer ta’ rdum biex jixħtuh minn hemm fuq għal isfel. Kien attentat ta’ qtil. Riedu jeliminawh lil Ġesù, imma kif smajna fl-Evanġelju, jidher li Ġesu ħarbilhom.

X’kienet din ir-reazzjoni ħarxa għall-kliem ta’ Ġesù? … Read more »

A community of faith, hope and love – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

Iklin parish - 20 years parish

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Ma hemm ebda kelma mniżżla fl-Evanġelju li qal San Ġużepp. Imma l-ħajja tiegħu tgħajjat aktar minn kull kelma li seta’ jgħid. Nixtieq li nirriflettu fuq ix-xhieda ta’ fidi, ta’ tama, u ta’ mħabba li naraw fil-ħajja tiegħu.

Naħseb li din ix-xhieda tiegħu hija ta’ għajnuna għal kull wieħed u waħda minna, kif ukoll għall-komunità parrokkjali tal-Iklin, intom u tiċċelebraw l-għoxrin sena parroċċa… Read more »

Recognising the gift of time that God gives us – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

  The Parish Church of the Annunciation, Balzan

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Għandna fl-Evanġelju llum żewġ ġrajjiet li kienu għamlu ħafna ħoss fi żmien Ġesù. Waħda minnhom il-ġrajja tal-massakru li għamel Pilatu, meta kien qatel numru ta’ nies mill-Galilija b’vendikazzjoni, aktarx meta kienu qed joffru s-sagrifiċċju tagħhom; u l-oħra meta waqa’ t-Torri ta’ Silwam u qatel tmintax-il ruħ. Dawn il-ġrajjiet kienu impressjonaw lin-nies, u diversi kienu jaħsbu dak iż-żmien li jekk tiġrilek xi xi ħaġa ħażina bħal dawn it-traġedji, it-tort huwa tiegħek… Read more »

Pope Francis calls for an end to ‘heavy bombing in Gaza’

Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!

The parable in today’s Gospel tells us about the patience of God, who urges us to make our life a time of conversion. Jesus uses the image of a barren fig tree, which has not borne the anticipated fruit and which, nevertheless, the farmer does not want to cut down: he wants to fertilize it again since “it may bear fruit in the future” (Lk 13:9)… Read more »
