So that our heart may rest in you – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

Mass on the Solemnity of the Epiphany

05/01/2026 Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish Church, Fgura

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Rajna l-kewkba tiegħu tielgħa, u ġejna nqimuh” (Mt 2:2). Dan huwa l-kliem tal-maġi meta bdew jistaqsu fejn hu dak li twieled, is-sultan tal-Lhud. Illum qed nagħmlu din iċ-ċelebrazzjoni, din is-solennità tal-Epifanija, li tfakkarna proprju f’din il-ġrajja: meta l-maġi ġew mill-bogħod biex ifittxu u jsibu lil Ġesù, u jistgħu jqimuh. Imbagħad, kif nafu, offrewlu r-rigali tagħhom u wara, telqu minn triq oħra… Read more »

The Gospel of the day: 5th January

05/01/2026

Readings of the day

First Reading: 1 John 3:22 – 4:6
Psalm: 2:7-8,10-11

Gospel: Mt 4:12-17,23-25

In those days, when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee. He left Nazareth and made his home in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, so that what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: “Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali, on the road by the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles— the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned.” From that time Jesus began to proclaim, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”

Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and curing every disease and every sickness among the people. So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought to him all the sick, those who were afflicted with various diseases and pains, demoniacs, epileptics, and paralytics, and he cured them. And great crowds followed him from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan… Read more »

I pray for you so God’s word will be a lamp for your feet throughout your life – The Archbishop to seminarians

Mass on the solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord with the granting of the Ministry of the Lectorate to three seminarians

04/01/2026 St John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Għadna kemm ilqajna lil dawn iż-żgħażagħ li qed juru d-disponibbiltà tagħhom biex ikunu istitwiti, magħżula għall-ministeru tal-Lettorat, jiġifieri dawk l-persuni li fil-miġemgħa tagħna jħabbru l-Kelma t’Alla. Hemm vers sabiħ li jgħaqqad dak li se nagħmlu minn hawn u ftit ieħor, mal-festa sabiħa li qed niċċelebraw illum. Fis-salm hemm miktub: “musbieħ għal riġlejja l-Kelma tiegħek” (Salm 119:105).

Jiena nawguralkom f’din l-festa tal-Epifanija – festa tad-dawl, festa mmexxija mill-Kewkba, għajn ta’ dawl, li l-Kelma t’Alla – għeżież Marvic, Daniel u Luke – tkun il-musbieħ għal riġlejkom… Read more »

Mass on the eve of the solemnity of the Epiphany with the participation of couples who got married in 2025

03/01/2026 St John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Għeżież ħuti u b’mod tassew speċjali insellem lilkom, għeżież koppji li matul is-sena li għaddiet, l-2025, iċċelebrajtu l-misteru kbir u sabiħ tas-sagrament taż-żwieġ, illum il-Knisja tiċċelebra waħda mill-aktar festi profondi tas-sena liturġika: is-solennità tal-Epifanija tal-Mulej.

Il-kelma ‘epifanija’ tfisser manifestazzjoni, rivelazzjoni, dawl li jinkixef. Hu l-jum meta Ġesù Kristu ma jibqax rivelat lil ftit, imma juri lilu nnifsu lill-ġnus kollha, lill-bnedmin kollha, bla distinzjoni… Read more »
