L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Il-Fariżew kellu raġun jinnota u jilmenta li Ġesu ma segwix ir-ritwal tal-ħasil (ara Lq 11:38). Fil-fatt, dil-ħaġa, l-Imgħallem m’għamilhiex. Ma kinitx biss kwistjoni ta’ ritwal imma nimmaġina anke ta’ iġene. Ġesu juża dan il-mument biex ifehemna li għalkemm ir-ritwal għandu wkoll is-sinifikat tiegħu, hemm bżonn li jibda minn ġewwa, mill-atteġġjamenti tagħna. Ta’ min nirriflettu ħafna fuqhagħax aħna għandna ħafna devozzjonijiet… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Nisel ħażin huwa dan in-nisel! Irid sinjal!” Dan il-kliem li smajna lil Ġesù jgħidu fl-Evanġelju tal-lum, Ġesù qalu meta kien imdawwar b’nies li kellhom moħħhom u qalbhom magħluqa għalih.
Dawn in-nies riedu sinjal. Imma fil-fatt, l-esperjenza ta’ Ġesù ma’ dawn in-nies kienet li qatt ma seta’ jġibha żewġ magħhom. Ftit qabel dan ir-rakkont, hemm il-ġrajja ta’ meta Ġesù keċċa xitan… Read more »
