That very day, the first day of the week, two of Jesus’ disciples were going to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus, and they were conversing about all the things that had occurred.

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Marija ta’ Magdala tersaq lejn il-qabar ta’ Ġesù, fl-ewwel jum tal-ġimgħa, il-Ħadd. Kienet qed tfittex il-katavru għażiż ta’ Ġesù. L-idea tagħha, bħal ta’ nisa devoti oħra, kienet li jidilku l-ġisem għażiż, imma mejjet ta’ Ġesù bil-fwejjaħ. Att ta’ qima u ta’ mħabba; imma li fl-istess ħin ma jsirx u lanqas ixejjen il-liġi tat-tħassir ta’ kull ġisem li jmut. Tmur ħdejn il-qabar u mhux biss issib il-ġebla mgerrba imma wkoll il-qabar vojt… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
F’dawn il-ġranet u f’dawn il-ġimgħat se nisimgħu diversi rakkonti tal-qawmien ta’ Ġesù mill-imwiet. Waħda mill-affarijiet li toloqtna hija li d-dixxipli għexu miegħu għal minn tal-anqas tliet snin u kienu jafuh sew; bħalma kienet tafu sew Marija ta’ Magdala li kienet marret fil-jum tal-Ħadd ħdejn il-qabar tfittex katavru biex tkompli r-ritwal tad-dilka bil-fwejjaħ. Kienet taf lil Ġesù, kienet taf il-fatizzi tiegħu imma l-Evanġelju jinsisti li ħarset lejh u ma għarfitux… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Bħal-lum 95 sena ilu twieled il-Papa Emeritu Benedittu XVI. Dakinhar kien ukoll Sibt il-Għid. Imwieled f’Sibt il-Għid, il-Papa Benedittu XVI hu wieħed minn dawk li jfisser b’mod hekk sabiħ il-ġrajja tal-Qawmien ta’ Kristu, l-ikbar ġrajja għalina. Nixtieq li nieħu żewġ espressjonijiet li hu jgħid, li fihom tifsira kbira ħafna u li lilna jistgħu jkunu wkoll ta’ għajnuna għall-ħajja tagħna. Isejjaħ il-ġrajja tal-qawmien ta’ Ġesù Kristu “splużjoni ta’ dawl” u “splużjoni ta’ mħabba”… Read more »
Article by Archbishop Charles Scicluna
As Pope Francis bade farewell to a relatively long queue of staffers and guests at the Apostolic Nunciature in Rabat towards the end of his two-day trip to Malta, he turned to me and said with a characteristic twinkle in his eye: “Questo congedo è stato più lungo di quello de La Traviata” (this farewell is longer than the one in La Traviata)… Read more »
