Mass offered for all front-line healthcare professionals fighting Covid-19

20/05/2020   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa, the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Baqagħli ħafna ħwejjeġ x’ngħidilkom.” Dan il-kliem qalu Ġesù meta kien qed jagħmel l-itwal diskors li nsibu fl-Evanġelji. Fl-Evanġelju ta’ San Ġwann, fl-aħħar ċena,  meta kien diġà qal ħafna lill-appostli u kien baqagħlu x’jgħid, hu jgħidilhom: “Baqagħli ħafna ħwejjeġ x’ngħidilkom, imma għalissa ma tifilħux għalihom.” Imbagħad jgħidilhom: Meta jiġi l-Ispirtu s-Santu, se jmexxikom hu fit-triq tal-verità. Dan hu l-Ispirtu tal-Verità li jmexxikom fit-triq it-tajba… Read more »

Mass offered for educators and parents so as not to be discouraged in the academic teaching of their children and find the help they need

19/05/2020   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa, the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles J. Scicluna

Din is-silta mill-kapitlu 16 ta’ San Ġwann tibda tippreparana bil-mod il-mod għat-tluq ta’ Ġesù minn din id-dinja fil-misteru tal-passjoni u l-mewt tiegħu, tal-qawmien tiegħu mill-imwiet, tat-tlugħ is-sema tiegħu.

“Jaqblilkom li jiena mmur” (Ġw 16:7). Dan huwa kliem li għall-qalb tal-bniedem huwa diffiċli għax meta aħna ngħożżu lil xi ħadd, l-aħħar ħaġa li tiġi f’moħħna hija li ninfirdu minnu… Read more »

Il-laqgħa li kellna mal-Ministru tas-Saħħa u mas-Supretendent tas-Saħħa Prof. Charmaine Gauci kienet laqgħa pożittiva ħafna. Huwa proċess ta’ djalogu li beda f’Marzu u jkompli.

The Advocate and the Spirit of Truth – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass offered for the recovery of Covid-19 patients

18/05/2020   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa, the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

Hemm żewġ kelmiet li Ġesù juża llum fl-Evanġelju biex jitkellem fuq l-Ispirtu s-Santu li hu kellu jibgħat fuq id-dixxipli wara li jqum mill-mewt. Ġesù jgħid: Nibgħatilkom “Id-Difensur” u “L-Ispirtu tal-Verità”. Dawn it-tnejn ifissru tajjeb ħafna min hu Ispirtu s-Santu fil-ħajja tal-appostli u fil-ħajja tagħna wkoll.

Ġesù jgħid: Nibgħatilkom id-Difensur. Ifisser xi ħadd li qiegħed magħkom, li jakkumpanjakom, li jappoġġjakom, jinkoraġġikom imma wkoll jipproteġikom… Read more »

Love in practice – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass on the Sixth Sunday of Easter

17/05/2020   Annunciation of Our Lady Parish Church, Ħal Balzan

L-omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

Forsi jidher ovvju l-kliem li jgħid Ġesù u li jenfasizza b’mod speċjali fl-Evanġelju tal-lum. Fil-bidu u fl-aħħar jgħid l-istess ħaġa għal darbtejn. Fil-bidu: “Jekk tħobbuni, ħarsu l-kmandamenti tiegħi.” U fl-aħħar jgħid: “Min għandu l-kmandamenti tiegħi u jħarishom, dak hu li jħobbni.”

Forsi ngħidu: mhux ovvju dan? Mhux ovvju li jekk inti tħobb lil Ġesù tfittex li tħares il-kmandamenti tiegħu u l-kelma tiegħu, kif jgħid anke aktar ’il quddiem fl-istess diskors? … Read more »

Our identity – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass with prayers for our Bishops and priests

15/05/2020   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa, the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

Fil-ħajja tagħna, l-iktar esperjenza li timla l-qalb hija l-esperjenza tal-imħabba. Jista’ jkollna sodisfazzjon fil-ħajja b’ħafna affarijiet u nkunu kuntenti b’affarijiet sbieħ, imma l-iktar esperjenza li timla l-qalb hija l-imħabba.

Hemm raġuni għal dan. Meta Alla ħalaqna, għamilna xbieha tiegħu, hu li hu mħabba. U qiegħed f’qalbna din l-imħabba, tana l-kapaċità li aħna li aħna maħbuba minnu nistgħu nħobbu u hemm insibu tassew il-milja f’ħajjitna… Read more »

Animazzjoni: The New Victorians

♫ Bless the Lord O my soul ♫ 

O my soul
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I’ll worship Your Holy name

The sun comes up
It’s a new day dawning
It’s time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass
And whatever lies before me
Let me be singing
When the evening comes

You’re rich in love
And You’re slow to anger
Your name is great
And Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness
I will keep on singing

Ten thousand reasons
For my heart to find

And on that day
When my strength is failing
The end draws near
And my time has come
Still my soul will
Sing Your praise unending

Ten thousand years
And then forevermore
