“Xi ħaġa, tkun xi tkun”. Din hi l-kelma tal-Fariżej meta ġew jistaqsu lil Ġesù jistax raġel jiltaq lil martu “fuq xi ħaġa, tkun xi tkun”. Riedu jkunu jafu jekk wieħed jistax ikollu l-libertà li jinħall mir-rabta taż-żwieġ “fuq xi ħaġa, tkun xi tkun”.

12/08/2021   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

“Ma kienx immissek int ukoll tħenn għal sieħbek kif ħennejt jien għalik?” (Mt 18:33). Din hi l-mistoqsija li s-sinjur qal lill-qaddej li kellu jagħtih ħafna; għax is-somma ta’ għaxart elef talent hi somma enormi; impossibbli tħallasha. Din il-mistoqsija ta’ min niftakru fiha, kull darba li tiġina tentazzjoni li nwebbsu qalbna għal xi ħadd; li forsi jkun għamlilna deni, ikun għamlilna l-ħsara, ikun qal xi kelma iebsa fuqna, malafama jew ivvinta gidba fuqna – kalunja; jew għamlilna l-ħsara b’mod ieħor: bis-serq, bl-inġustizzja, forsi bi qtil… Read more »
