L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù jindirizza din il-parabbola lill-kapijiet, lill-Fariżej. Jagħti isem lill-fqajjar: “wieħed fqir jismu Lazzru, li kellu ġismu ġerħa waħda” (Lq 16:20). Nafu li wieħed mill-ħbieb kbar ta’ Ġesù, kien jismu Lazzru. Ma nafux jekk il-qalb ta’ Ġesù, ftakritx fil-ħabib tiegħu, ħu Marta u Marija, meta ried jagħti isem lil dan il-fqir.

L-għani m’għandux isem. It-tradizzjoni tagħtih hi stess bil-Latin dives, imma dives hi ‘għani’… Read more »

B’xi mod l-għani, għax ried, ħoloq abbiss, wied profond bejnu u bejn il-fqir… Read more »
