Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye? … Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Żgur li ħafna minna hawnhekk niftakru l-ġurnata tal-ewwel tqarbina. Jien niftakarha sew, kif konna nġbarna flimkien, numru kbir ta’ tfal, u mxejna mill-Museum sal-Knisja. Niftakar il-preparazzjoni għal dan il-jum kbir, u speċjalment il-ferħ li ħassejt, u miegħi l-familja kollha. Jien ċert li din hi l-esperjenza ta’ ħafna minna hawnhekk fl-ewwel tqarbina.
Nixtieqkom tirriflettu dwar dan: x’differenza hemm bejn l-ewwel tqarbina, għal ħafna minna tant snin ilu, u t-tqarbina tal-lum f’din il-quddiesa? … Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Fil-festa tal-Ġisem u d-Demm ta’ Ġesù nistħajlu li l-Knisja tagħżel xi Evanġelju jirrakkonta l-mument meta Ġesù jwaqqaf dan is-sagrament. Fil-qari li smajna llum huwa l-Appostlu Missierna San Pawl meta jikteb lill-Koritin li jfakkarna x’ġara u li hu kien irċieva mingħand il-Mulej it-tagħlim li għadda lill-komunità ta’ Korintu. “Il-Mulej Ġesù fil-lejl li fih kien ittradut, ħa l-ħobż u wara li radd il-ħajr, qasmu u qal: ‘Dan hu ġismi li ngħata lilkom; agħmlu dan b’tifkira tiegħi’… Read more »

Gospel: Lukk 9:11b-17
Jesus spoke to the crowds about the kingdom of God, and he healed those who needed to be cured. As the day was drawing to a close, the Twelve approached him and said, “Dismiss the crowd so that they can go to the surrounding villages and farms and find lodging and provisions; for we are in a deserted place here.”
He said to them, “Give them some food yourselves.” They replied, “Five loaves and two fish are all we have, unless we ourselves go and buy food for all these people.” Now the men there numbered about five thousand… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Ġemmgħu għalikom teżori fis-sema” (Mt 6:20). Dan hu li Ġesù jgħid lid-dixxipli tiegħu llum, fl-Evanġelju skont San Mattew, filwaqt li jagħmel kuntrast bejn dawn it-teżori fis-sema, it-teżori li jibqgħu, u t-teżori f’din id-dinja li, jgħid Ġesù, jitmermru bil-kamla u s-sadid u kultant ukoll jinsterqu mill-ħallelin.
Ġesù qed jagħti messaġġ ċar. Aħna nafu x’jiġifieri meta jgħid “teżori fid-dinja”. Il-Papa Franġisku, meta jispjega din, isemmi tlieta, fost oħrajn: il-vanità, il-poter u l-ġid materjali… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Il-laqgħa ta’ Pawlu ma’ Ġesù fit-triq ta’ Damasku hi f’mument ta’ dawl qawwi, qrib nofsinhar, meta fid-deżert ix-xemx tiżreġ. Fl-istess ħin Pawlu jara dawl, li donnu jisboq id-dawl tax-xemx naturali, dawl li għamieh. Għandu bżonn l-għajnuna ta’ sħabu, kif qrajna fit-tieni qari llum, f’rakkont li żgur tafuh tajjeb, intom il-membri tal-parroċċa ta’ Ħal Safi. Kellu bżonn l-għajnuna ta’ sħabu biex jobdi l-Kelma ta’ Ġesù, li tistiednu jmur Damasku… Read more »
