L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

“Agħmel il-qalb, ibni, dnubietek maħfura” (Mt 9:2). Kemm huma kliem tassew sbieħ dan li jgħid Ġesù lil dan ir-raġel mifluġ li ġie ppreżentat quddiemu mixħut fuq friex imwassal hemmhekk minn sħabu. Kif ra l-fidi tagħhom, Ġesù jgħidlu: “Agħmel il-qalb, ibni, dnubietek maħfura”.

Min jaf kemm saċerdoti ltqajna u kellna x-xorti nisimgħu dan il-kliem għażiż ta’ Ġesù li jintqal lilna mis-saċerdot hu u jaħfrilna dnubietna… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Bdew jitolbuh ħafna biex jibqa’ sejjer ’il barra minn pajjiżhom.” Din kienet ir-reazzjoni tan-nies – kif rajna fl-Evanġelju, tal-“belt bi ħġarha” – għal dak li kien għamel Ġesù. Qabadhom il-biża’, u riedu li jitlaq. Flok semgħuh biex jistgħu jagħrfuh u japprezzawh, qalulu jitlaq ’il barra minn pajjiżhom.

Nazju Falzon, li tiegħu qegħdin nagħmlu llum it-tifkira, kien bniedem li mhux biss għaraf u apprezza lil Ġesù, imma ried li nies oħra isiru jafuh u japprezzawh… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

Żgur li nifhmu dak li ħassew id-dixxipli li kienu fuq id-dgħajsa, fejn kien hemm ukoll Ġesù, meta qamet din it-taqliba u l-mewġ beda tiela’ fuq id-dgħajsa. Bdew jibżgħu. Dawn, li ħafna minnhom kienu sajjieda, kienu jifhmu x’jiġfieri baħar perikoluż. Lilhom nifhmuhom, imma għall-mument ma nifhmux kif f’din it-tempesta kollha, Ġesù li kien magħhom kien rieqed. Fl-Evanġelju darba ssib li Ġesù kien rieqed – hu hawn, f’din it-tempesta kollha… Read more »
