The price of faithfulness – Bishop Galea-Curmi

29/08/2022 The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

L-istorja tal-qtil ta’ Ġwanni l-Battista hi storja kerha, makabra, u fiha hemm konċentrazzjoni ta’ ħażen. Qisu dnub iwassal għal ieħor.

Naraw, l-ewwel nett, il-mibegħda – il-mibegħda li kellha f’qalbha Erodja. Ma kinitx taħmlu lil Ġwanni l-Battista. L-ewwel ġagħlet lil Erodi jitfgħu l-ħabs, jaqflu hemm, għax Ġwanni l-Battista kien jgħidlu lil Erodi: “Ma tistax iżżommha int il-mara ta’ ħuk”. Imbagħad kompliet biex dil-mibegħda kibret f’qalbha u riedet toqtlu… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ħafna drabi smajt lil xi ħbieb jgħiduli: ‘Aħna l-Katttoliċi meta nidħlu fil-Knisja dejjem nagħżlu l-bankijiet ta’ wara’, dawk li dejjem l-ewwel jimtlew. Ma nafx għaliex u jekk din il-ħaġa hix ispirata mill-kelma ta’ Ġesù llum li jgħidlek biex meta tkun mistieden tagħżilx il-post ta’ quddiem, iżda agħżel dak ta’ wara ħalli mbagħad min jistiednek jgħidlek biex tersaq ’il quddiem (ara Lq 14:8-10)… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Agħtuna ftit żejt minn tagħkom…” (Mt 25:8). Din hi t-talba li ħamsa mix-xebbiet, li qrajna fuqhom fil-parabbola fl-Evanġelju skont San Mattew, għamlu lill-ħamsa l-oħra. Talbuhom ftit żejt ħalli l-imsiebaħ tagħhom jibqgħu mixgħula. Imma l-ħamsa l-oħra, flok għenuhom, qalulhom: morru għand tal-ħanut biex tixtru, għax jista’ jkun li lanqas jibqa’ biżżejjed għalina.

Nixtieq li naraw din il-parabbola b’rabta ma’ parabbola oħra li qal Ġesù fl-Evanġelju skont San Luqa, li hi l-parabbola tas-Samaritan it-tajjeb… Read more »
