Jesus spoke to the crowds about the kingdom of God, and he healed those who needed to be cured. As the day was drawing to a close, the Twelve approached him and said, “Dismiss the crowd so that they can go to the surrounding villages and farms and find lodging and provisions; for we are in a deserted place here.”

He said to them, “Give them some food yourselves.” They replied, “Five loaves and two fish are all we have, unless we ourselves go and buy food for all these people.” Now the men there numbered about five thousand… Read more »

Treasure of my heart – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

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

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Teżori f’din id-dinja” (Mt 6:19) u “Teżori fis-sema” (Mt 6:20). Dan hu l-kuntrast li jagħmel Ġesù fl-Evanġelju llum, li jibda bil-kelma qawwija “tgeddsux” – “Tgeddsux għalikom teżori f’din id-dinja” (Mt 16:9). X’jiġifieri meta Ġesù jgħid “tgeddsux”? Ma jridniex naħdmu, nirsistu, għalina u għall-familja tagħna? Le, mhux dan qed jgħid Ġesù, anzi lilna jagħtina l-messaġġ li huwa importanti li aħna naħdmu, nirsistu, biex inġibu ’l quddiem il-ħajja tagħna, tal-familja tagħna, u dawk ta’ madwarna… Read more »

Dan l-Evanġelju minn San Luqa magħżul għal dawn il-ġranet li fihom niċċelebraw il-festa tal-Ġisem u d-Demm ta’ Ġesù, jispjegalna r-realtà kbira tal-Ewkaristija li hi l-qofol ta’ kull festa li nagħmlu. Meta ssir it-tħabbira tal-Għid fis-6 ta’ Jannar fl-Epifanija, jew inkella fil-Ħadd qrib l-Epifanija bħalma nagħmlu Malta u Għawdex, dakinhar fin-Noveritis jitħabbar l-Għid il-Kbir u hemm din il-frażi kull nhar ta’ Ħadd: il-komunità Nisranija tiltaqa’ biex tiċċelebra l-mewt u l-qawmien tal-Mulej… Read more »
