The reaction of the Interdiocesan Commission for the Environment to the Consultation Documents on Environment and Planning

  • The reaction of the Interdiocesan Commission for the Environment to the Consultation Documents on Environment and Planning
  • Il-Kummissjoni Interdjoċesana Ambjent (KA) hija mħassba li ħafna mit-tibdil propost f’dawn id-dokumenti jidher li ma jagħtix raġuni xierqa li għaliha qed tkun proposta l-bidla. Dan meta wieħed jeżamina l-effett li t-tibdiliet proposti aktarx se jkollhom fuq l-ambjent, l-iżvilupp sostenibbli u, fl-aħħar mill-aħħar, fuq in-nies ta’ kull sitwazzjoni soċjo-ekonomika…

    Ħuti, aħna fl-ewwel lezzjoni rajna fil-Ġenesi r-rakkont tal-ħolqien tal-bniedem, raġel u mara, xbieha tiegħu. Fl-ewwel żewġ kapitli li rajna llum tissemma biss dik li hi l-siġra tal-għarfien tat-tajjeb u l-ħażin. Imma fil-kapitlu tlieta tissemma siġra oħra u din is-siġra kien fiha frott ta’ l-immortalita, jiġifieri li l-bniedem ma jmutx…

    Ir-raġuni hija ċara. Kieku l-bniedem ma dinibx Ġesu ma kienx jgħaddi minn dan kollu għax ma kienx ikollu bżonn…

    Ħuti, aħna naqraw fil-Vanġelu  li qabel ma Sidna Ġesu Kristu ġie imsallab kien hemm żewġ għemejjel li hu ried jagħmel. L-ewwel għemil kien li hu jagħmel l-aħħar ikla mad-dixxipli tiegħu. U aħna llum se niċċelebraw din l-ikla. It-tieni ħaġa li għamel kien li mar quddiem Alla l-Missier u beda jitolbu u ġedded ix-xewqa tiegħu li hu,  Sidna Ġesu Kristu,  ried li jobdi lil Alla l-Missier…
