Who is Jesus for me? A papier maché statue? – The Archbishop

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

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Il-kapitlu 8 ta’ San Ġwann hu kapitlu, fejn ir-raba’ Evanġelju jippreżentalna konflitti kbar bejn Ġesù u l-establishement reliġjuż ta’ dak iż-żmien: il-Fariżej, il-Kittieba. U fil-fatt fil-bidu ta’ dan l-Evanġelju jitkellem mal-Fariżej, dawk li kienu l-għorrief tal-liġi, dawk li kellhom il-qawwa jinterpetaw il-liġi u jgħidu lill-poplu kif għandu jsegwi l-liġi.

Jinsisti magħhom fuq xi ħaġa li ma jiħdux gost biha… Read more »

Pope Francis helps us to have the light of life – Bishop Galea-Curmi

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

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Min jiġi warajja ma jimxix fid-dlam, iżda jkollu d-dawl tal-ħajja”. Dan hu l-kliem li smajna lil Ġesù jgħid lill-Fariżej illum, fl-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann, u nistgħu nifhmu ħafna dan il-kliem fil-kuntest ta’ kif qalu Ġesù. Dal-kliem qalu eżatt wara s-silta fejn lil Ġesù fit-tempju dawn il-Fariżej u l-kittieba ħadulu l-mara li nqabdet fl-adulterju. U hemmhekk ħaduha quddiemu biex lilu jġibuh dahru mal-ħajt… Read more »
