From Our Lady, we learn not to escape suffering but to turn it into love – The Archbishop

Mass on the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows

  The Church of Our Lady of Jesus (Ta' Ġieżu), Valletta

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġimgħa qabel il-Ġimgħa l-Kbira nisimgħu din is-silta mill-Evanġelju ta’ San Ġwann. Id-dixxiplu ħadha għandu. Id-dixxiplu laqa’ lill-mamà ta’ Ġesù fid-dar tiegħu, u l-impenn li jieħu ħsiebha bħala ommu. Dan kien wieħed mit-testmenti ta’ Ġesù minn fuq is-salib. Idur lejn ommu u jafdaha f’idejn id-dixxiplu l-maħbub. “Mara, hawn hu ibnek” (Ġw 19:26). Imma lid-dixxiplu l-maħbub jgħidlu “Hawn hi ommok” (Ġw 19:27)… Read more »

This is the season where we are freed from the bond of evil – The Archbishop

Mass with the residenti and staff at Corradino Correctional Facility

  Corradino Correctional Facility, Paola

Ritratt: Ian Noel Pace – Arċidjoċesi ta’ Malta

F’din is-silta mill-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann, il-Mulej jammetti min hu: “qabel ma kien Abraham, jiena hu” (Ġw 8:58). Il-frażi ‘jiena Hu’ hija l-isem ta’ Alla. Qabel nibdew il-Ġimgħa Mqaddsa, dan l-Evanġelju jfakkarna ma’ min se niltaqgħu f’dawn il-jiem fil-passjoni u l-mewt ħarxa tiegħu. Wieħed minna, l-Iben t’Alla magħmul bniedem, ilbieraħ stess iċċelebrajna t-tnissil tiegħu fil-ġuf ta’ ommu, għax ilbieraħ il-25 ta’ Marzu jaħbat disa’ xhur qabel il-Milied… Read more »

Xi jfissru l-ġesti li tant imdorrijin nagħmlu fil-Jum Devozzjonali ta’ Marija Addolorata? X’inhuma s-seba’ duluri ta’ Marija? U fuq kollox, x’qed ilissnu l-passi tiegħi warajha?

The courage to say “yes” to life – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

Homily on the Solemnity of the Annunciation

  The Parish Church of the Annunciation, Balzan

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Il-festa għażiża tal-Lunzjata ddaħħalna f’wieħed mill-aktar mumenti intimi u deċiżivi fl-Istorja tas-Salvazzjoni: il-laqgħa bejn l-anġlu Gabriel u l-Verġni Marija.

F’dar kwieta f’Nazaret, ’il bogħod mill-poter u l-glorja tad-dinja, tfajla żagħżugħa tirċievi messaġġ li jibdel ħajjitha. Imma mhux biss ħajjitha; jibdel id-destin tal-umanità kollha: “Ara, int se tnissel fil-ġuf u jkollok iben u jsemmuh Ġesù” (Lq 1:31). Alla jidħol fl-istorja tal-bniedem mhux bil-forza, mhux bl-istorbju, imma bi stedina kwieta, b’sejħa personali… Read more »
