Gospel: Matthew 5:13-16
Jesus said to his disciples: “You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Ifirħu u thennew” (Mt 5:12). F’din is-silta li għadna kemm qrajna mill-Evanġelju skont San Mattew, għandna dawn il-Beatitudnijiet li kollha jduru madwar l-hena u l-ferħ. L-ewwel ħaġa li tolqotna f’dal-kliem ta’ Ġesù hija kif hawnhekk għandna sfida qawwija għall-ħajja tagħna Nisranija, bħala dixxipli ta’ Ġesù, għax mhux faċli tgħix dan li qed jgħid Ġesù. Imma, fl-istess waqt, Ġesù qed jgħid: irridu l-ferħ veru, l-hena f’qalbna? … Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Il-kotra kbira ta’ nies qagħdet tisimgħu bil-qalb kollha” (Mk 12:37). Dan hu li naqraw fl-Evanġelju llum skont San Mark fuq dawn in-nies li kienu qegħdin jisimgħu lil Ġesù. U hawnhekk Ġesù qisu jagħmel naqra tħabbila tal-moħħ. Jgħidilhom: il-kittieb jgħidu li l-Messija huwa bin David. Imbagħad jikkwotalhom salm – hawnhekk Ġesù qed jikkwota Salm 110 – u jgħid: “Il-Mulej qal lil sidi: oqgħod fuq il-lemin tiegħi, sa ma nkun qegħidt l-għedewwa tiegħek taħt riġlejh” (Mk 12:36) – is-salm miktub minn David… Read more »

Homily by Bishop Joseph Galea-Curmi
Today the Church celebrates the great feast of Corpus Christi, the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ. We gather around the altar in wonder and gratitude for the greatest gift Jesus left to his Church: the Eucharist. Yet this celebration becomes even more joyful and profound because today, during this Mass, Merve Cungar will receive the sacraments of initiation… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Kif jista’ dan jagħtina ġismu biex nikluh?” (Ġw 6:52). Din hija l-mistoqsija li għamlu dawk li kienu qed jisimgħu lil Ġesù, u jidher ċar li fehmu tajjeb x’qed jgħid Ġesù. Ma kienx qed jitkellem fuq xi ħaġa li se jagħtihom biex iżommuha b’tifkira jew b’simbolu, imma kien qed jitkellem realment fuq li se jagħti lilu nnifsu proprju fl-Ewkaristija. U dak inhar diversi nies li semgħuh ma fehmux kif dan kien possibbli, anzi ftit wara din is-silta hemm ir-reazzjoni tan-nies li jgħidu: dan tqil wisq biex tifhmu! … Read more »
