The Assumption of Our Lady reminds us of the resurrection – The Archbishop

Mass on the 100th anniversary of the arrival of the titular statue of the Assumption of Our Lady

  The Parish Church of the Assumption of Our Lady, Mġarr

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 »
