L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Inbid ġdid jitqiegħed f’damiġġjani ġodda.” Meta Ġesù qal dan il-kliem, kien fil-kuntest ta’ konflitt mal-awtoritajiet reliġjużi ta’ żmienu. Fil-fatt ir-rakkont li smajna llum jiġi bejn żewġ episodji fejn qiegħed f’polemika mal-awtoritajiet reliġjużi ta’ żmienu. Għalhekk, nistgħu nifhmu dan il-kliem ta’ Ġesù proprju fid-dawl ta’ dan.
X’kienu d-damiġġjani l-qodma? Kienet il-mentalità ta’ diversi nies fi żmien li Ġesù li tagħlqilhom qalbhom u moħhom biex ma jkunux jistgħu jilqgħu l-Aħbar it-Tajba… Read more »
Il-Kummissjoni tal-Knisja għall-ħarsien tat-tfal u l-adulti vulnerabbli ħadet l-azzjoni meħtieġa mingħajr preġudizzju biex jiġu mħarsa l-partijiet kollha fil-każ ta’ saċerdot li ġie akkużat li kellu relazzjoni ma’ tfajla. Skont ma ntqal fil-Qorti mill-prosekuzzjoni, din ir-relazzjoni bdiet ftit xhur qabel it-tfajla għalqet 16-il sena, li hija l-età kunsenswali.

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
140 sena ilu l-Isqof ta’ Għawdex Pietru Pace rrikonoxxa li grupp ta’ tfajliet, li bħala missier spiritwali kellhom lil Dun Ġużepp Diacono, imma bħala figura femminili li tispirahom kellhom il-Madre Margerita Debrincat, grupp ta’ tfajliet semgħu l-leħen ta’ Ġesù, “telqu kollox u marru warajh” (Lq 5:11). Din l-espressjoni hija l-konklużjoni tal-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna llum.
X’ġara f’dik l-għadira li hija baħar? … Read more »
