Aktar ritratti: knisja.mt/ritratti L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Meta Ġesù jagħmel din it-tixbiha tal-festa tat-tieġ – sultan li ried jagħmel festa għat-tieġ ta’ ibnu – ried juri lin-nies li Alla dejjem jistedinhom, u jistieden lilna lkoll, għall-ħbiberija miegħu. Jekk hemm sinjal tal-imħabba, hu proprju t-tieġ, u għalhekk il-festa tat-tieġ hi l-festa tal-ħbiberija ma’ Alla.
Hawnhekk Ġesù kien ċar li Alla dejjem jistieden, imma mbagħad mhux kulħadd jaċċetta l-istedina… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Anke illum Ġesù jagħtina parabbola, storja li jużaha biex jiddjaloga, biex jitkellem mal-qassisin il-kbar u x-xjuħ tal-poplu.
Kien qed iħoss li mhux se jilqgħuh. Beda jifhem li qiegħda sseħħ dik il-profezija ta’ meta kellu 40 jum biss. Nimmaġina li rrakkuntawlu meta Xmun qalilhom: “Dan għad ikun sinjal li jmeruh” (Lq 2:34). Imma Ġesù donnu ma jaqtax qalbu. Ikompli jistieden lill-mexxejja tal-poplu ta’ żmienu li, kif nafu, imbagħad kellhom jakkużawh u jagħtuh għall-mewt, iġiegħlu lil Pilatu jikkundannah biex imut fuq is-salib… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Kemm hija kerha taqra li meta Ġesù keċċa xitan, diversi nies, flok faħħru lil Alla u rringrazzjawh jew qalu kemm hi ħaġa sabiħa, qalu: dan qiegħed ikeċċi x-xjaten bis-saħħa tal-prinċep tax-xjaten. Ma tistax tgħid ħaġa agħar minn din, li tgħid lil Bin Alla li hu mmexxi minn xitan. Kienet frott ta’ preġudizzju, ta’ ras iebsa, tal-għira jew tal-injoranza tagħhom, imma turik kemm Ġesù, meta kien jagħmel il-ġid, kien isib min jopponih u kien isib ħafna ma’ wiċċu… Read more »
