OMELIJA TAL-QDUSIJA TIEGĦU LJUN XIV

“Inti Pietru, u fuq din il-blata jiena nibni l-Knisja tiegħi” (Mt 16:18). Għeżież ħuti, smajna dawn il-kelmiet ta’ Ġesù aħna u nfakkru l-125 anniversarju mid-Dedikazzjoni ta’ din il-knisja, li tant xtaqha l-Papa Ljun XIII, u ppromova l-bini tagħha.

Fil-ħsieb tiegħu, din il-binja, flimkien ma’ dik tal-Kulleġġ internazzjonali li hemm magħha, kellha tikkontribwixxi biex tissaħħaħ il-preżenza Benedittina fil-Knisja u fid-dinja, permezz ta’ għaqda dejjem ikbar fi ħdan il-Konfederazzjoni Benedittina, għan li għalih ġie introdott ukoll l-Uffiċċju tal-Abbati Primat… Read more »

Nixtieq ngħidilkom grazzi. Huwa d-dover tiegħi li ngħid grazzi lilkom għeżież katekisti tagħna… Read more »

Don’t be the one to destroy the people around you – the Archbishop

Thanksgiving mass with MCAST graduates

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Il-Fariżej għandhom kurżità kbira, il-kurżità tagħhom hi biex ikunu jafu meta se tiġi s-saltna li ħafna drabi jsemmi Ġesù. Diversi tixbihat, parabboli li kien juża, kien jgħid, is-saltna t’Alla tixbah meta għallem lilna d-dixxippli tiegħu nitolbu, għallimna nitolbu tiġi saltnatek. Imma din is-saltna meta ġejja, jgħidulu? Hu jinsisti li s-saltna li qed jitkellem fuqha mhijiex xi ħaġa sensazzjonali. Aħna mdorrijin bil-kriterju tad-dinja, nimmaġinaw li s-saltna tfisser poter, forsi xi ftit arroganza, xi ftit ‘fake news’ jew xi ‘fake profile’, li s-saltna tagħmlek bilfors sinjur u malajr u bil-qerq jew li s-saltna tfisser li taħkem fuq ħaddieħor billi tumiljah… Read more »

Talba għat-Tqarbina tax-Xewqa

Ġesù, jiena nemmen li Inti tinsab tabilħaqq fis-Sagrament tal-Ewkaristija. 
Irrid inħobbok fuq kollox u fuq kulħadd.
Inti taf li nixtieq nirċevik ġewwa fija.
Imma ġaladarba bħalissa ma nistax nilqgħek ġewwa fija sagramentalment,
nitolbok li tiġi fija spiritwalment.
Ejja għandi Ġesù tiegħi, biex jiena niġi għandek… Read more »
