Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not understand this? … Read more »

13/04/2026   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa, Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Agħmel li l-qaddejja tiegħek ixandru kelmtek bil-kuraġġ kollu” (Atti 4:29). Dan hu li qrajna llum fl-Atti tal-Appostli – din it-talba li għamlu Pietru u Ġwanni u sħabhom, wara li kienu ġew mis-Sinedriju fejn qalulhom: tkomplux ixxandru li Ġesù huwa ħaj. U dawn, meta ltaqgħu flimkien, għamlu din it-talba: biex ikomplu jxandru l-kelma ta’ Alla bil-kuraġġ kollu. Kif, fil-fatt, għamlu, s-silta tispiċċa hekk: “Bdew ixandru l-kelma ta’ Alla bil-kuraġġ kollu” (Atti 4:31)… Read more »

Archbishop Charles Scicluna, like many Catholics around the world, is deeply perturbed by the unrestrained and unjustifiable attack on the Holy Father by the President of the United States.

Pope Leo XIV reaffirmed the consistent position of the Church throughout history when he said: “War divides; hope unites. Arrogance tramples upon others; love lifts up. Idolatry blinds us; the living God enlightens.” 

The Holy Father spoke the unadulterated truth when he insisted that the Church will always promote peace “even when rejecting the logic of war may lead to misunderstanding and scorn”… Read more »

Readings of the day

First Reading: Acts 4:23-31
Psalm: 2:1-3,4-6,7-9

Gospel: John 3:1-8

There was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. He came to Jesus at night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can do these signs that you are doing unless God is with him.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.”

Nicodemus said to him, “How can a person once grown old be born again? … Read more »

Make us instruments of your peace and mercy

Mass on the second Sunday of Easter and feast of the Divine Mercy

12/04/2026   Dar tal-Kleru, Birkirkara

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Id-dixxipli kienu flimkien, imbeżżgħa mil-Lhud, bil-bibien magħluqa” (Ġw 20:19). Dan hu li naqraw illum fl-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann, u mal-ewwel nidħlu f’xena mimlija tensjoni u biża’. Id-dixxipli jinsabu  miġbura flimkien wara bibien magħluqa. Dawn il-bibien mhux biss kienu magħluqa minn barra, imma kienu wkoll simbolu tal-qalb tagħhom: qalb magħluqa mill-biża’, mill-ħtija, mid-diżappunt u mill-konfużjoni. Huma kienu raw lil Ġesù jmut, kienu raw il-ħolm tagħhom jitfarrak, it-tama tagħhom qisha tgħib fix-xejn, u forsi kienu qed jistaqsu lilhom infushom jekk kollox kienx spiċċa hemm… Read more »
