Pope Leo’s speeches on peace in a new book

29/07/2026

Ritratt: Vatican Media

Mill-ewwel ġurnata tal-pontifikat tiegħu nhar it-8 ta’ Mejju 2025, il-Papa Ljun XIV ħeġġeġ lil kulħadd biex iħabrek għall-paċi, liema paċi tiġi minn Kristu Rxoxt.

Minn dakinhar sal-lum, il-Papa qatt ma qata’ mill-appell tiegħu biex jieqfu l-gwerer kif ukoll sabiex tinkiseb il-paċi bejn il-popli. Minkejja li l-appelli tiegħu mhux dejjem ġew milqugħa tajjeb minn kulħadd, il-Papa dejjem wassal il-messaġġ ta’ Ġesù b’kull mod possibbli… Read more »

29/07/2026   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa, Arcbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Żerriegħa tal-mustarda u ftit ħmira. Dawn isemmi Ġesù llum fl-Evanġelju, u jsemmihom bħala xbieha tas-Saltna tas-Smewwiet. Mal-ewwel tolqotna kemm jagħżel affarijiet żgħar, ordinarji, li soltu ma toqgħodx titkellem ħafna fuqhom.  Żerriegħa tal-mustarda, kif jgħid Ġesù, “l-iżgħar waħda fost iż-żrieragħ kollha” (Mt 13:32), u n-nies li kienu qed jisimgħuh kienu jifhmu li hi verament żerriegħa żgħira; u l-istess meta jsemmi l-“ftit ħmira” (Mt 13:33)… Read more »

What is really valuable in our lives – Bishop Galea-Curmi

26/07/2026   The Metropolitan Cathedral of St Paul, Mdina

X’inhu dak li tassew għandu valur f’ħajjitna? Din hi l-mistoqsija li jistedinna nagħmlu Ġesù fl-Evanġelju tal-lum. Jippreżentalna sensiela ta’ parabboli qosra, iżda mimlijin għerf, dwar is-Saltna tas-Smewwiet. Jitkellem dwar teżor moħbi, dwar ġawhra prezzjuża, dwar xibka li tiġbor il-ħut, u fl-aħħar dwar il-kittieb għaref li joħroġ mit-teżor tiegħu ħwejjeġ ġodda u qodma.

Minkejja l-qosor tagħhom, dawn il-parabboli jqegħdulna quddiemna mistoqsija waħda fundamentali: x’inhu dak li tassew għandu valur f’ħajjitna? … Read more »
