Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!
We are at the heart of our Lenten journey, and today the Gospel begins by presenting Jesus who comments on some news of the day. While people still remember the eighteen who died when a tower collapsed on them, they tell Him about some Galileans whom Pilot had killed (cf. Lk 13:1). And there is a question that seems to accompany these tragic affairs: who is to blame for these terrible events? … Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Iż-żewġ ġrajjiet li jsemmi Ġesù fl-Evanġelju llum, hu u jitkellem man-nies – il-massakru li kien għamel Pilatu mill-Galilin, u t-torri li kien waqa’ fuq 18-il ruħ u qatilhom – kienu ġrajjiet li n-nies ta’ dak iż-żmien kienu midħla tagħhom, u baqgħu jsemmuhom. U kienu dak iż-żmien, bħalma nistaqsu aħna llum, jagħmlu l-mistoqsija: għaliex? Għaliex dawk in-nies kienu hemmhekk, meta waqa’ t-torri u qatilhom? … Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Fl-Evanġelju tal-lum Ġesù jibda minn żewġ fatti li ġraw fi żmienu. Wieħed minnhom kien att vjolenti ħafna, traġiku, abbuż kbir ta’ poter: Pilatu li joqtol diversi Lhud mill-Galilija li kienu qegħdin joffru s-sagrifiċċju, xi ħaġa li forsi ma għoġbitux u b’risposta qatilhom u kif jgħid Ġesù din l-espressjoni qawwija ħafna: “ħallat demmhom mal-vittmi tas-sagrifiċċji tagħhom” (Lq 13:1).
Il-mistoqsija ta’ Ġesù hi mistoqsija li jagħmel ukoll lilna: “Taħsbu intom li dawn kien jistħoqqilhom din il-mewta kiefra, dan it-tmiem krudili? … Read more »
Homily by Archbishop Charles Jude Scicluna
Today’s Gospel starts from an event that happened during the time of Jesus; a tragic event that Jesus mentions by name. Pontius Pilate decides to punish several Galileans that were doing sacrifices to God, without permission. They are killed as they were doing an act of worship. Jesus says: “Pilate had mingled their blood with that their sacrifices” (Lk 13,1)… Read more »
