Homily of H.E. Mgr Charles J. Scicluna at Lourdes Grotto

  • Homily by Mgr Charles J. Scicluna, Auxiliary Bishop, at Lourdes Grotto
  • Il-Mulej, illum jgħallimna lezzjoni iebsa llum, dik li hemm bżonn tagħżel il-post tal-aħħar.  L-istint tagħna hu li nagħżlu l-post l-aktar importanti, il-post it-tajjeb, l-aħjar post.  Il-Mulej Ġesu jgħallimna li mhux diżunur li tagħżel l-aħħar post, imma sempliċiment li tiftaħ qalbek u tkun ta’ servizz lil ħaddieħor.

    Meta l-anġlu Gabriel stieden li Sidtna Marija li tilqa’ l-proposta tal-Mulej li ssir omm Alla, l-ewwel reazzjoni ta’ Marija kienet:  “imma dan kif jista’ jkun għax jien ma ngħarafx raġel.”  Marija fehmet ukoll aktar il-quddiem, li din il-proposta  ma kienetx proposta biex tingħata xi privileġġ speċjali qabel li tingħata għal qadi. 

    Marija anżi kellha tagħżel l-aħħar post, għaliex l-għarus tagħha Ġużeppi kellu jgħaddi magħha mit-turufnament li jgħidu fuqha.  Anke hu li kien raġel ġust kellu jibgħatha bil-moħbi. 

    Marija għażlet l-aħħar post meta ddeċidiet li tmur tgħin lil Eliżabetta.  Bħala sinjal, l-anġlu Gabiel qalilha: “ara bħala sinjal, qaribtek, dik li ma setgħax ikollha tfal diġa qegħda fis-sitta xahar tat-tqala.”  Marija insiet lilha nnifisha u marret tħaffef biex tkun ta’ servizz, ta’ qadi għal din il-qariba tagħha Eliżabetta…
