Priesthood is to join the offering of Jesus – The Archbishop

Holy mass with the new priests

17/05/2022   The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Mellieħa

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù ħin minnhom jgħid frażi li hemm bżonn nifhmuha u nixtarruha. “Il-Prinċep tad-dinja ġej. Kontra tiegħi xejn ma jista’ jagħmel; iżda ħalli d-dinja tagħraf li jiena nħobb lill-Missier u li nagħmel kif ordnali l-Missier” (Ġw 14:30-31). Xi jrid jgħid Ġesù? Ġesù konxju li waslet is-siegħa tiegħu. Kien ħabbarha għal darba, darbtejn, tlieta “li se jingħata f’idejn il-qassisin il-kbar, u l-kittieba; dawn jaqtgħuhielu għall-mewt, jerħuh f’idejn il-pagani, biex jiddieħku bih, u jagħtuh is-swat u jsallbuh” (Mt 20:18-19)… Read more »

We observe his word because we love him – Bishop Galea-Curmi

16/05/2022   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Għal aktar minn darba, fl-Evanġelju tal-lum skont San Ġwann, Ġesù jenfasizza r-rabta bejn l-imħabba lejh u li nħarsu l-kelma tiegħu, li nħarsu l-kmandamenti tiegħu. Jgħid: “Min iżomm il-kmandamenti tiegħi u jħarishom, dak hu li jħobbni” (Ġw 14:21). U aktar tard jgħid: “Jekk xi ħadd iħobbni, iħares kelmti” (Ġw 14:23).

Din ir-rabta Ġesù jenfasizzaha hawn, imma anke f’mumenti oħra; jiġifieri li aħna, sforz l-imħabba tagħna lejh, nagħmlu dak li jgħidilna hu… Read more »

How all will know who you are – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass on the fifth Sunday of Easter

15/05/2022   The Parish Church of the Annunciation, Ħal Balzan

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Kif ħareġ Ġuda miċ-ċenaklu…” L-ewwel kelmiet ta’ din is-silta mill-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann turina l-waqt meta Ġesù, waqt l-Aħħar Ċena, qal il-kliem li smajna fl-Evanġelju. Kien għadu kif ħabbar li wieħed mid-dixxipli kien se jittradih, u d-dixxipli stagħġbu u bdew jippruvaw jaraw min, għax Ġesù ma kienx semma ismu. Imbagħad Ġesù qal: “Dak li għalih se nbill din il-loqma ħobż fil-platt u nagħtihielu”, u għamel hekk u taha lil Ġuda, u Ġuda ħadha u ħareġ miċ-ċenaklu… Read more »

Welcome your children the way they are welcomed by God, who created them – The Archbishop

Mass on the fifth Sunday of Easter

15/05/2022   St Paul's Cathedral, Mdina

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù jirrealizza li t-tmiem tassew wasal. Ġuda se jkompli bil-pjan tiegħu li jittradih, ibigħu għal 30 biċċa tal-fidda u dak li [Ġesù] kien irrepeta għal darba, darbtejn, tlieta lid-dixxipli fl-aħħar se jseħħ. “Bin il-Bniedem jiġi mogħti f’idejn il-kapijiet, iżebilħuh, isalbuh, wara tlett ijiem iqum” (Mk 8:31).

Hu jitkellem dwar dan il-proċess ta’ glorja b’kategorija li għalina hi ħafna stramba għax il-glorja għalina hi show of force, il-qawwa, il-poter, il-prestiġju… Read more »

To not trouble our heart – Bishop Galea-Curmi

13/05/2022   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Tħallux qalbkom titħawwad!” (Ġw 14:1). Dan hu l-kliem li Ġesù jgħid lid-dixxipli tiegħu. Hawnhekk qegħdin fl-ewwel versi tal-Kapitlu 14 ta’ San Ġwann – diskors twil li jibqa’ sejjer sal-aħħar tal-Kapitlu 17. Ġesù jgħidilhom “tħallux qalbkom titħawwad”, għax ftit qabel kien qalilhom: “fejn sejjer jien, intom ma tistgħux tiġu” (Ġw 13:33). Din ħawdithom, u kien hemm dik ir-reazzjoni ta’ Pietru li qallu: jien lest li nagħti ħajti għalik, inkun miegħek dejjem… Read more »

10/05/2022

On 5 May Fr Martin had written to the Pope in Spanish asking him to answer some questions that he is most commonly asked by LGBT Catholics and their families.

The joy of the Church is to evangelise – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass on the feast of St Ġorġ Preca

09/05/2022   The Chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, Blata l-Bajda

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Mgħallem, mhux li kien id-dinja kollha timxi wara l-Evanġelju tiegħek!” Dawn huma l-ittri ‘MUSEUM’, it-tifsira tagħhom, tal-kelma bil-Latin, u kien proprju dan li kien f’qalb San Ġorġ Preca. Hekk smajna lil Ġesù jgħid lill-ħdax fl-Evanġelju skont San Mark: “Morru fid-dinja kollha, xandru l-Evanġelju lill-ħolqien kollu”.

San Ġorġ Preca, kif għedna fit-talba fil-bidu tal-quddiesa, kellu din is-sejħa speċjali minn Alla biex jaħdem ħalli l-Evanġelju jixtered mal-bnedmin kollha, u d-dinja kollha timxi wara l-Evanġelju ta’ Ġesù… Read more »
