28/06/2021   St Paul's Cathedral, Mdina

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù jistaqsi lil Xmun Pietru: “‘Xmun bin Ġwanni, tħobbni int aktar minn dawn?’ ‘Iva, Mulej’” (Ġw 21:15). L-insistenza ta’ Ġesù fuq l-imħabba ta’ Pietru, li jġiegħel lil Pietru jindem u jirrealizza li l-imħabba tiegħu tistrieħ fuq il-ħarsa ta’ Ġesù. “Pietru ħass għafsa ta’ qalb għax staqsieh għat-tielet darba ‘Tħobbni?’ u qallu: ‘Mulej, int taf kollox, inti taf li nħobbok’” (Ġw 21:17)… Read more »

Ġesù darba qal dan il-kliem: “Ejjew għandi intom ilkoll li tinsabu mħabbtin u mtaqqlin u jien inserraħkom” (Mt 11:28-30).

Fil-qalba ta’ dan ir-rakkont, hemm din il-mara li kienet ilha tnax-il sena tbati bit-tnixxiegħa tad-demm, u li Ġesù jfejjaqha… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

L-Evanġelju ta’ San Mark hu l-iqsar Evanġelju. Fil-fatt għandu biss 16-il kapitlu imma fl-istess ħin dan ir-rakkont hu wieħed mill-itwal rakkonti.

Dan il-vjaġġ ta’ Ġesù li jisma’ l-karba ta’ missier li kien jismu Ġajru, kien wieħed mill-kapijiet tas-Sinagoga, bniedem ta’ prestiġju, bniedem influwenti, imma quddiem il-mard tat-tifla tiegħu ta’ 12-il sena, Ġajru jħoss li m’għandux poter, li dak kollu li setgħet tagħtih is-soċjetà ma kien jiswa xejn… Read more »
