A faith that celebrates the hope of those who die in the Lord – The Archbishop

Mass on the solemnity of Easter Sunday

  St John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Scimus Christum surrexisse a mortuis vere: tu nobis, victor Rex, miserere.

‘Aħna nafu li Kristu qam mill-mewt, verament. Inti, o Sultan Rebbieħ, ħenn għalina.’ Din hija t-talba li kantajna qabel l-Evanġelju fis-sekwenza tal-Għid illum. Poeżija straordinarjament sabiħa u antika, mużika tassew anġelika li tiġbor fiha l-fidi li qegħdin niċċelebraw illum: miet u fit-tielet jum qam mill-imwiet… Read more »

Homily by Bishop Joseph Galea-Curmi

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Tonight, we stand at the heart of the Christian mystery. In the darkness, we lit a flame. From that single light, this church was gradually filled with brightness. This is not just a ritual. It is our story. The story of how God enters the darkness of the world and of our lives, and brings the light that no darkness can overcome… Read more »

Mass on Easter Vigil

  St John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Għal darbtejn fl-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna, nisimgħu l-kliem: “Tibżgħu xejn” (Mt 28:5). L-anġlu lin-nisa li qed ifittxu katavru, jgħidilhom: “Tibżgħux xejn intom għax jien naf li qegħdin tfittxu lil Ġesù li kien imsallab. Mhuwiex hawn, għaliex qam, kif kien qal” (Mt 28:5-6). U Ġesù ukoll jgħid l-istess kelma lid-dixxipli: “Tibżgħu xejn; morru wasslu l-aħbar lil ħuti” (Mt 28:10).

Illum, f’dan il-lejl qaddis, il-biża’ jintrebaħ mill-imħabba… Read more »
