Mass on the Second Sunday of Lent

  The Parish Church of the Annunciation, Ħal Balzan

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Il-ġrajja tat-Trasfigurazzjoni tal-Mulej fuq il-muntanja hi ġrajja li baqgħet stampata fil-moħħ u fil-qalb ta’ dawk it-tlett iħbieb ta’ ġewwa li Ġesù ħa miegħu – Pietru, Ġwanni u Ġakbu.

X’jiġri fuq din il-muntanja? Ġesù, jgħidilna San Luqa fl-Evanġelju, tela’ hemm bi skop: biex jitlob. U kien proprju huwa u jitlob li sseħħ bidla li jistgħu jarawha t-tlett iħbieb: fid-dehra ta’ wiċċu, u l-ilbiesi li saru ta’ bjuda li tgħammex… Read more »

Jeħodhom miegħu u jsejħilhom jitilgħu fuq muntanja. L-Evanġelju ta’ San Luqa jgħidilna li t-tradizzjoni tgħid li fuq il-Muntanja Tabor u l-Evanġelju ta’ San Luqa l-Mulej inġabar fit-talb. “Ġara li huwa hu jitlob id-dehra ta’ wiċċu tbiddlet u l-ilbiesi tiegħu saru ta’ bjuda li tgħammex” (Lq 9:29) … Read more »
