come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

First Reading: Sir 17:20-28
Psalm: 31(32):1-2,5,6,7-8
Gospel: Mark 10:17-27
As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus answered him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother.’”
He replied and said to him, “Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth.” Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, “You are lacking in one thing… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
B’mod konkret, Ġesù iħares lejn il-kapaċitajiet tagħna llum u jistedinna biex insaffuhom. Jitkellem fuq il-ħarsa tagħna u fuq il-qalb tagħna. Il-ħarsa tagħna jixtieq isaffiha minn kull għamad. Ħafna drabi ma nibqgħux naraw ċar; il-ħarsa tagħna tiddallam minħabba r-rabja, minħabba l-preġudizzju, minħabba l-għira, minħabba l-ħażen ta’ qalbna. Il-Mulej Ġesù, qed jipprova jgħallimna li l-ħarsa tagħna fuqna nfusna u fuq xulxin ġejja mill-qalb tagħna, u tesprimi min aħna tassew… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Huwa mument li fih irridu ngħidu, għax huwa dover tagħna, grazzi kbira lill-Mulej. F’dawn is-sigħat propju fl-Indja, fejn il-Missjunarji qegħdin ifakkru lil dawk li taw ħajjithom, hemm l-Isqof Joseph Galea Curmi, il-Vigarju Ġenerali u Isqof Awziljarju ta’ Malta, li qed jaġġornana b’din l-esperjenza tiegħu li jżur l-ambjenti, imbierka u mqaddsa, bil-ħidma tal-Missjunarji għeżież tagħna.
Ftit sigħat ilu bagħtilna ritratti taż-żjara li għamel fiċ-ċimiterju tal-post, fejn hemm midfunin diversi Missjunarji Maltin u anke Sqallin, li taw ħajjithom għall-missjoni fl-Indja; hemm ukoll ħajt li jikkommemora missjunarji li mhux midfunin hemm, imma li taw ħajjithom f’dan il-post imma, li wara li rritornaw Malta, kellhom l-appuntament mal-Mulej fl-aħħar vjaġġ tagħhom propju minn ħawnhekk… Read more »

Ritratt: Times of Malta
Aktar minn 100 sena ilu, żewġ Ġiżwiti Maltin tal-Provinċja Siċiljana tal-Kumpanija ta’ Ġesù marru lejn l-Indja biex iwasslu l-missjoni tagħhom bħala reliġjużi f’din l-art.
Sabiex wieħed isir Ġiżwita, huwa meħtieġ li jieħu erba’ voti: tal-faqar, tal-kastità, tal-ubbidjenza, bir-raba’ vot speċifikat għall-ubbidjenza fir-rigward tal-missjoni madwar id-dinja.
F’Ottubru tal-1924, il-Maltin Patri Anton DeBono u l-istudent Bernard Bugeja, flimkien ma’ student Ġiżwita ieħor Siċiljan Giuseppe Cordaro ħallew l-Ewropa biex marru lejn dan il-pajjiż enormi li jinsab madwar 6,356 kilmoetru ‘l bogħod mill-gżejjer Mediterranji… Read more »
