The peace no one can take away – The Archbishop

  The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Dan id-diskors imqanqal hu diskors Ġesù, li jgħidu lid-dixxipli tiegħu f’Ħamis ix-Xirka. Kien jaf li se jkun ittradut, mogħti f’idejn il-ħżiena, kif jgħid hu stess, ikkundanat għal mewt l-iżjed ħarxa. Fl-istess ħin jitkellem dwar il-paċi. “Jiena nħallilkom is-sliem; nagħtikom is-sliem tiegħi; ma nagħtihulkomx kif tagħtih id-dinja” (Ġw 14:27). Id-dinja twegħedna ħafna, imma meta tfittex, tfittex; kollox isirlek suf. Il-Mulej f’mument ta’ emozjoni kbira, jgħid lid-dixxipli, “Tħallux qalbkom titħawwad u lanqas titbeżża’” (Ġw 14:27), u  javżhom li ser jinfired minnhom… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Ili daqshekk magħkom, Filippu, u għadek ma għaraftnix?” (Ġw 14:9) Dan hu l-kliem li smajna lil Ġesù jgħid fl-Evanġelju tal-lum. Hawn qiegħed fl-Aħħar Ċena. Qisu Ġesù ħadha bi kbira għax Filippu kien għadu kif qallu “Mulej, urina l-Missier, u jkun biżżejjed għalina” (Ġw 14:8). U Ġesù qallu: int ilek tant miegħi u għadek ma għaraftnix, li jien fil-Missier u l-Missier fija? … Read more »

First Reading: Acts 14, 19-28
Psalm: 144 (145), 10-11.12-13ab.21

Gospel: Jn 14, 27-31a

In those days, Jesus said to his disciples: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid. You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I am coming to you.’

If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you this before it occurs, so that when it does occur, you may believe. I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming… Read more »
