Faithful in small things, courageous in big changes – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

Mass on the feast of St Joseph the Worker

  The Chapel of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary, Ħal Balzan

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Dan mhuwiex bin il-mastrudaxxa?” (Mt 13:55). Din hija l-mistoqsija li jagħmlu n-nies fis-sinagoga fuq Ġesù, kif smajna fl-Evanġelju. Illum il-Knisja tqiegħed quddiemna lil dan il-mastrudaxxa, San Ġużepp, li minkejja li qatt ma ħalla kelma miktuba jew diskors magħruf, baqa’ jinstema’ b’qawwa tul iż-żmien.

F’dinja li ma tiqafx titkellem, Ġużeppi jagħżel is-skiet; f’kultura li tfittex ir-rikonoxximent, hu jibqa’ moħbi; f’soċjetà li tkejjel kollox bl-istatus u s-suċċess, hu jidher biss bħala mastrudaxxa, ħaddiem sempliċi… Read more »
