L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Fit-3 ta’ Ottubru li għadda tas-sena 2020, il-Qdusija Tiegħu l-Papa Franġisku tana dokument ġdid li huwa l-iżjed dokument riċenti fis-sensiela ta’ dokumenti prezzjużi u għeżież li s-suċċessuri ta’ Pietru tawna fid-duttrina soċjali tal-Knisja.

It-titlu ‘sultan’ jew ‘re’, meta nużawh għal Kristu, għal ħafna min-nies ma jinftihemx. Għax aħna, ħafna drabi, f’moħħna l-idea ta’ sultan hu ta’ xi ħadd tal-passat, li taqra fuqu fl-istejjer; jew inkella xi ħadd li għandu pożizzjoni importanti, ta’ unur, imma mingħajr effett reali fuq il-ħajja tan-nies.

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Meta Ġesù għallimna nitolbu, għallimna ngħidu wkoll: “Tiġi saltnatek” (Mt 6:10). Quddiem Pilatu jammetti li huwa sultan (ara Mt 26:11).
Il-qari li għadna kemm smajna mill-Evanġelju ta’ San Mattew huwa l-aħħar diskors ta’ Ġesù qabel jibda l-mixja tal-passjoni tiegħu. Fil-fatt, kif jispiċċa dan id-diskors li għadna kemm smajna, Ġesù jħabbar li għandu bżonn imur Ġerusalemm u jsallbuh. Għalhekk, huwa diskors importanti li fih iħabbar li hu sultan u l-mod kif se jsaltan… Read more »
