L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Ġesù jkompli jgħallimna fuq it-talb; u jgħallimna l-fiduċja fuq it-talb. Ħafna drabi, meta jkollna sitwazzjoni diffiċli, bħalma hi din l-invażjoni terribbli u kiefra tal-Ukrajna; u aħna ngħidu ħa nitolbu. Dak li jkun jista’ jiddarras u jgħid: ‘issa x’se nagħmlu bit-talb, mela t-talb għandu xi saħħa kontra l-armamenti?’ Irridu nammettu li dawn iċ-ċirkostanzi jpoġġuni fi kriżi ta’ fidi. Iġagħluna nistaqsu: ‘Imma t-talb tagħna, għandu effett?’ Il-Mulej qed iqanqalna biex nagħmlu att ta’ fiduċja u ta’ fidi fih għax dak li m’aħniex kapaċi nagħmlu bir-rieda tajba tagħna u b’idejna; irid jieħu ħsiebu Hu… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Jum il-Gradwazzjoni hu jum ta’ ferħ u sodisfazzjon għalikom, għeżież ħbieb, u għal dawk kollha li akkumpanjawkom tul is-snin fil-korsijiet tagħkom. Hu ta’ sodisfazzjon akbar speċjalment meta tqisu tant xkiel u diffikultajiet li kellkom tħabbtu wiċċkom magħhom f’dawn l-aħħar sentejn minħabba l-pandemija, li ħarbtet il-ħajja ta’ ħafna u kienet ta’ dannu għas-saħħa mentali ta’ ħafna.

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Meta Ġesù jitkellem fuq Alla anke f’dan l-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna, jippreferi juża l-kelma ‘missier’: “Missierkom jaf x’teħtieġu” (Mt 6:8). “Jekk intom taħfru lill-bnedmin il-ħtijiet tagħhom, Missierkom li hu fis-smewwiet jaħfer lilkom ukoll” (Mt 6:14). Jalla lkoll kemm aħna għandna togħma tajba meta nisimgħu l-kelma ‘missier’. Forsi mhux dejjem hu l-każ imma nifhmu li l-paternità naturali u kull tip ta’ paternità oħra hi sejħa biex dak li jkun jieħu responsabbiltà imma fl-istess ħin jagħti libertà… Read more »
