L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Ta’ kull sena aħna l-Maltin u l-Għawdxin nieqfu ħdejn is-salib ta’ Ġesù maġenb ommu. Kulħadd jista’ jimmaġina d-dulur tal-omm li tara lil Binha l-għażiż ikkundannat għall-mewt, għall-mewt tassew kiefra.
Aħna qegħdin hawnhekk f’dan il-post għażiż li jħaddan dan il-kurċifiss straordinarjament qawwi fl-espressjoni artistika tiegħu li aħna lkoll nafuh bħala l-Kurċifiss mirakoluż. Il-poplu Malti u Għawdxi dejjem dar lejn din ix-xbieha ta’ Ġesù msallab, jitlobha fil-mumenti iebsa… Read more »

I love You above all things.
I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,

I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You… Read more »
L-Omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Kien hemm wieqfa ħdejn is-salib ommu …” Dak li naqraw f’San Ġwann l-evanġelista jgħidilna fil-qosor ħafna li Marija kienet wieqfa taħt is-salib. Ma jgħidx x’kienet qed tħoss dak il-ħin, ma jispjegax id-dulur tagħha, imma jgħid li kienet wieqfa taħt is-salib taqsam it-tbatija ma’ binha Ġesù.
Tolqotna din is-sentenza ta’ San Ġwann fuq Marija li kienet wieqfa hemm. Għaliex jekk aħna ninnutaw ftit fl-Evanġelju, naraw li Marija, wara t-twelid u t-tfulija ta’ Ġesù, ftit li xejn tissemma – xi darba jew tnejn tul il-ministeru ta’ Ġesù… Read more »
