Gospel: Luke 19:1-10
In those days, Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through it. A man was there named Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was rich.
He was trying to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was short in stature… Read more »
Fil-jiem li għaddew fil-Kappella tad-Dar tal-Kleru tqiegħed salib li jirraffigura lil Kristu Saċerdot imsallab imma f’pożizzjoni ta’ qawmien. Dan tpitter minn Dun Peter Paul Sultana li hu l-amministratur parrokkjali tal-parroċċa tal-Manikata. Il-pittura saret fuq l-injam wara li nħadmet bil-ġibs. Is-salib tbierek mill-Arċisqof Emeritus Pawlu Cremona.
Dwar il-pittura, is-saċerdot spjega li fil-fidi naraw is-salib bħala punt ta’ tluq għall-qawmien ta’ Ġesù. Għalhekk f’din il-pittura naraw lil Kristu f’direzzjoni ta’ qawmien, anke l-idejn ta’ Kristu jidhru li mhumiex fin-nofs tal-ispazju tal-injama orizzontali tas-salib, iżda qegħdin iktar ’il fuq sabiex jesprimi moviment ’il fuq, li jissimbolizza l-qawmien… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Fit-tifkira llum tal-Madonna tar-Rużarju, tajjeb li aħna nġeddu l-fiduċja tagħna f’din l-omm li takkumpanjana fil-ħajja tagħna. Ġesù minn fuq is-salib tahielna bħala omm, biex hi tieħu ħsiebna, tħarisna, biex tipproteġina u takkumpanjana bl-imħabba.
Filwaqt li aħna nħarsu lejn Marija dejjem bħala dik l-omm li miexja magħna f’ħajjitna, hi wkoll omm li tgħallimna, u tgħallimna ħafna affarijiet importanti għall-ħajja tagħna… Read more »

Psalm: 9:2-3,6 u 16:8-9

But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons.” Others, to test him, kept demanding from him a sign from heaven. But he knew what they were thinking and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself becomes a desert, and house falls on house. If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? … Read more »

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!
Let us continue to explore the theme of discernment. Last time we considered prayer, understood as familiarity and confidence with God, as its indispensable element. Prayer, not like parrots. No: prayer as familiarity and confidence with God; prayer of the sons of the Father; prayer with an open heart. We saw this in the last Catechesis… Read more »
Aħna u niċċelebraw il-festa ta’ San Franġisk, nifhmu kemm huma importanti dawn iż-żewġ aspetti, li Ġesù kien isib fl-ambjent fejn seta’ jkun f’ambjent ta’ mistrieħ, mal-ħbieb. Kien japprezza żgur ix-xogħol ta’ Marta li kienet tnaddaf u ssajjar, imma apprezza wkoll l-atteġġjament ta’ Marija li tisimgħu b’ħerqa u bi mħabba kbira.
San Franġisk jgħallimna dawn iż-żewġ aspetti. Lil uliedu spiritwali, lil ħbieb tiegħu qalilhom: ‘Oħorġu u pprietkaw, meta jkun hemm bżonn użaw il-kliem… Read more »
