17/03/2021   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Missieri għadu jaħdem sa issa. Mela naħdem jien ukoll”. Smajna dan il-kliem ta’ Ġesù li hu jgħid lill-ġemgħa tal-Lhud, proprju fl-Evanġelju tal-lum skont San Ġwann. Xi jrid jgħid biha li l-Missier “għadu jaħdem”? X’inhi din il-ħidma? Nifhmu dal-kliem ta’ Ġesù meta naraw ir-rakkont li ġie qabel, il-fejqan ta’ bniedem li kien ilu 38 sena marid, u Ġesù qallu: “Qum, aqbad friexek, u imxi”… Read more »

Jesus, I need you; heal me – The Archbishop

16/03/2021   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Hemm konnessjoni bejn l-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna li l-ambjent tiegħu huwa ħdejn menqa, jiġifieri ħdejn qisha pixxina li kienet tipprovdi l-ilma lit-tempju.

Kien hemm it-tradizzjoni li meta jitħarrek l-ilma — u ġo pixxina mhux la kemm tgħid jitħarrek — anġlu jkun mess l-ilma allura min jinżel fih f’dak il-mument ifiq mill-mard li kellu. Kien hemm raġel li għal 38 sena sħaħ qagħad joqgħod jistenna biex jieħu din l-opportunità… Read more »
