Coming from the heart – Bishop Galea-Curmi

12/02/2023   The Church of St Agatha, Rabat

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Kieku Ġesù kien qiegħed għaddej qalb in-nies illum u jgħid dan id-diskors li smajna fl-Evanġelju, naħseb waħda mir-reazzjonijiet kienet tkun: int għadek fil-Medjuevu! Ħalliha li Ġesù għex ħafna qabel il-Medjuevu! Imma meta nisimgħu ċertu diskors minn Ġesù, u ċertu diskors fuq valuri importanti għall-ħajja, kultant ikun hemm min jgħid: dawn affarijiet tal-passat, illum kbirna, ma għadniex nemmnu f’dawn l-affarijiet.

Ħu, per eżempju, dak li jgħid Ġesù fuq l-adulterju… Read more »

Human life is priceless

Mass on the Day of Life 2023

05/02/2023   St John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Fit‑18 ta’ Jannar li għadda, mara ta’ 30 sena, Pelin Kaya, kienet maqtula proprju fil‑ġurnata li ċċelebrat għeluq sninha. Kienet miexja u spiċċat vittma b’karozza misjuqa għal ġo fiha. Il‑qtil tagħha bir‑raġun ġab reazzjoni qawwija fost ħafna nies. Kif jista’ jkun tkun miexja għall‑kwiet u f’daqqa waħda ssib min itemmlek ħajtek?

Aħna u niċċelebraw illum, ftit ġranet wara, Jum il‑Ħajja, ma nistgħux ma nfissrux in‑niket kbir tagħna għal dan il‑qtil u nuru s‑solidarjetà sħiħa mal‑familja tal‑vittma… Read more »
