My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.

L-Omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

Nikodemu kien Fariżew. Imma kien differenti minn uħud minn sħabu l-Fariżej.

Nafu, speċjalment mill-Evanġelju ta’ San Ġwann, kif il-Fariżej, meta kienu jiltaqgħu ma’ Ġesù, kienu jagħmlulu ħafna mistoqsijiet. Imma l-intenzjoni tagħhom ma kinetx biex isiru jafu, imma kemm-il darba staqsew lil Ġesù biex jonsbuh, jew inkella biex jidħlu f’dibattitu miegħu. Ġesù mal-Fariżej ħafna drabi sab qisu ħajt; ras iebsa u qalb magħluqa… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

F’dan id-djalogu ma’ Nikodemu l-Mulej jibda jgħallem lid-dixxipli tiegħu b’mod speċjali lil dan l-għaref tal-Liġi, it-tifsira profonda tal-Magħmudija li aħna l-Insara rċevejna u li nġeddu kull sena fil-lejl qaddis tal-Għid.

Ġesù jsejjaħ il-Magħmudija bħala t-twelid ġdid mill-ilma u l-ispirtu (Ġw 3:5). F’dawn il-ġranet ħafna jitkellmu dwar bidu ġdid. Donnu d-dinja li konna nafu sa ftit ġimgħat ilu waqfet u għandha bżonn terġa’ tibda u x-xewqa tagħna hija li meta tibda tkun ftit differenti… Read more »
