B’dan l-investiment se jinbnew ħames strutturi fuq in-naħa tan-Nofsinhar tal-kappella biex jissaħħaħ il-ħajt u b’hekk jissaħħu l-ħnejjiet tas-saqaf tal-kappella… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Il-ġrajja ta’ meta Ġesù daħal fit-tempju u keċċa l-bejjiegħa mit-tempju hi ġrajja li nsibuha fl-Evanġelji kollha. F’San Luqa nsibu inqas dettalji, insibuha fil-qosor, imma joħroġ ukoll tajjeb ir-rabja li kellu Ġesù hu u jkeċċi dawn il-bejjiegħa mit-tempju, xi ħaġa li qatt ma kien għamel.

Għaliex Ġesù rrabja daqshekk? Ġesù ried jieħu azzjoni drastika, li biha jagħti messaġġ qawwi lin-nies ta’ żmienu, u lilna wkoll… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Il-bikja ta’ Ġesù fuq Ġerusalemm tintroduċina għall-aħħar żmien tas-sena liturġika fejn il-kliem ta’ Ġesù u s-siltiet tal-Evanġelju jitkellmu dwar it-tmiem ta’ Ġerusalemm, it-tmien tad-dinja, it-tmiem ta’ kull wieħed u waħda minna f’din il-ħajja.

Il-Mulej Ġesù jibki fuq Ġerusalemm (ara Lq 19:45). Fil-bikja ta’ mħabba, ta’ diqa u ta’ dulur għal din il-belt li huwa ħabb u li fiha kellu jiġi kkundannat ’il barra mill-ħitan tagħha, kellu jiġi msallab, midfun u mbagħad jirxoxta… Read more »
