L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Ix-xibka… ma felħux jiġbduha daqskemm qabdu ħut”. Hekk naqraw fl-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann, dan ir-rakkont sabiħ ta’ waħda mid-dehriet ta’ Kristu Rxoxt lid-dixxipli tiegħu. U kienet għalihom tassew sorpriża, għax dawn is-seba’ dixxipli, u Pietru diġà hu l-kap tagħhom hawnhekk, joħorġu jistadu u jagħmlu l-lejl sħiħ u ma jaqbdu xejn. Issa dawn kienu esperti fis-sajd. Imbagħad jaraw lil dan ir-raġel, għall-bidu ma għarfuhx li kien Ġesù, li jgħidilhom, wara li staqsiehom fuq l-ikel: “Waddbu x-xibka fuq in-naħa tal-lemin tad-dgħajsa, u ssibu”… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Għadna kif għexna t-tifkira tal-passjoni, il-mewt u l-qawmien ta’ Ġesù. Hemm osservazzjoni interessanti li jagħmel il-Papa Benedittu XVI fil-ktieb tiegħu fuq Ġesù ta’ Nażaret, meta jitkellem fuq ir-rakkont tal-passjoni ta’ Ġesù. Hu jitkellem fuq meta Ġesù daħal Ġerusalemm u kien milqugħ b’mod trijonfali min-nies, li bdew jgħajtu: “Osanna, imbierek min ġej f’isem il-Mulej”. Imbagħad, ftit wara, naraw lil Ġesù quddiem Pilatu, u l-folla tgħajjat “Sallbu”, u tagħżel li teħles lill-brigant u ssallab lil Sid il-ħajja… Read more »
