come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

A demoniac who could not speak was brought to Jesus, and when the demon was driven out the mute person spoke. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.” But the Pharisees said, “He drives out demons by the prince of demons.”

Your Eminence Cardinal George, dear Fr Matthew, dear brothers and sisters of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Community,
On the joyful occasion of the feast of your Patron, St Thomas the Apostle, I extend to each one of you my heartfelt greetings and prayerful best wishes, on behalf of the Church in Malta.

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Mulej tiegħi, u Alla tiegħi” (Ġw 20:28). Din hija talba li ħafna minna ngħidu fil-quddiesa proprju fil-mument tal-konsagrazzjoni, meta l-ħobż jinbidel fil-ġisem ta’ Ġesù, u l-inbid fid-demm ta’ Ġesù. Dak il-ħin ngħidu din it-talba: “Mulej tiegħi u Alla tiegħi”. Hija talba li għandha l-oriġini tagħha f’dak li smajna llum fl-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann, li qalha San Tumas l-Appostlu. Hija l-iktar stqarrija qawwija ta’ fidi li hemm, fil-fatt, fl-Evanġelju… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Nistgħu ngħidu li f’din is-silta qasira, mill-kapitlu 11 ta’ San Mattew, Ġesù proprju jiftaħ qalbu għax jispjegalna min hu tassew. Kif nafu l-kelma ‘qalb’, anke fil-lingwa tagħna, meta ngħidu: ‘kemm għandu qalbu tajba’, ‘kemm għandu qalbu ħelwa’; qed nirreferu għall-personalità ta’ dak li jkun.
Fl-Iskrittura u fid-dinja semitika l-qalb hija l-personalità, l-identità ta’ dak li jkun. U Ġesù jiddeskrivi lilu nnifsu bħala “ta’ qalb ħelwa u umli” (Mt 11:29)… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Faħħru l-Mulej, ġnus kollha, sebbħuh, popli kollha” (Salm 117:1). Hekk tlabna fis-salm f’din il-ġurnata ta’ grazzja meta, mal-Knisja fid-dinja kollha, qed niċċelebraw il-festa ta’ San Tumas Appostlu. Fl-istess waqt din il-komunità f’B’kara qed tagħti ħajr lil Alla għal disgħin sena mit-twaqqif tas-Soċjetà Dun Filippu Borgia. Żewġ okkażjonijiet li jidhru differenti, iżda li għandu jkollhom ħaġa waħda komuni: il-fidi li ssir xhieda… Read more »
