L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Il-mistoqsija li smajna lil Ġesù jagħmel fl-Evanġelju llum għandha risposta ovvja. Jekk isemmi lil dan ir-raġel li liż-żewġ uliedu xtaq jibgħathom jaħdmu fl-għalqa tad-dwieli, u wieħed jgħidlu “arani sejjer” u ma jmurx, u l-ieħor jgħidlu “ma rridx” u jmur, hu ovvju li dak li mar għamel ir-rieda tal-missier. Għaliex mhux li tgħid li sejjer imbagħad ma tmurx, mhux li tparla, imma dak li tagħmel juri li tassew qed tagħmel ir-rieda tal-missier… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Ġesù huwa interessat ħafna li l-mexxejja tal-poplu Lhudi jifhmu min hu u jistedinhom biex jaċċettawh. Dan huwa messaġġ li aħna se nisimgħuh f’dan il-Ħadd u fiż-żewġt Iħdud li ġejjin. Il-Mulej jinsisti man-nies ta’ żmienu, b’mod speċjali mal-mexxejja, u jċċaqilqilhom ftit il-kuxjenza.
Illum isemmilhom il-fatt li Ġwanni ġie jħabbar it-triq tal-ġustizzja. Ifakkarhom kemm Alla huwa mħabba, kemm Alla huwa fidil iżda huma ma emmnuhx… Read more »

Test għar-riflessjoni: “Jien naf il-pjanijiet li ħsibt għalikom, oraklu tal-Mulej, pjanijiet ta’ ġid u mhux ta’ ħsara, li nagħtikom ġejjieni mimli tama. Intom issejħuli u tiġu titolbuni u jien nismagħkom. Tfittxuni u ssibuni meta tfittxuni b’qalbkom kollha.” (Ġeremija 29:11-13)

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
L-istħarriġ li għamel Ġesù mad-dixxipli tiegħu, biex jara n-nies x’jaħsbu fuq min kien, jidher li ma tax wisq riżultati tajbin. Id-dixxipli rrapportawlu li kien hemm min qed jgħid li hu Ġwanni l-Battista, oħrajn Elija, u oħrajn wieħed mill-profeti. Il-maġġoranza kbira ma kinux jafu sew min kien – u kienu żbaljati.
U meta staqsa mbagħad lilhom, lid-dixxipli, u Pietru qallu: “Inti l-Messija ta’ Alla” – risposta tajba – Ġesù mal-ewwel spjega kif għandu jifhem il-kelma ‘Messija’: li hu kien se jbati ħafna, jiċħduh, joqtluh u fit-tielet jum iqum… Read more »
