L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Dan ir-rakkont mill-Evanġelju ta’ San Mark m’għandux bżonn ħafna kummenti. Naraw ’l Ġesù li għat-talba ħerqana ta’ missier, jitlaq kollox u jmur ma’ Ġajru biex ifejjaqlu lit-tifla li sadattant tmut. U Ġesù jagħmel l-ewwel miraklu li jqajjem lil xi ħadd mill-mewt. Waqt il-vjaġġ ikun hemm mara li kienet ilha tbati mit-tnixxija tad-demm għal 12-il sena u tfiq malli messet il-mantar ta’ Ġesù… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

“Minnufih jidħol fit-tempju tiegħu, is-Sid li intom qegħdin tfittxu” (Mal 3:1). Ejjew nieqfu ftit fuq din l-espressjoni tal-Profeta Malakija u nistaqsu lilna nfusna: il-Mulej li llum, fl-40 jum wara t-twelid tiegħu u li skont il-Liġi ta’ Mosè jiġi ppreżentat fit-tempju ta’ Ġerusalemm; aħna qegħdin infittxuh?

The Almighty has done great things for me – Bishop Galea-Curmi

31/01/2022 The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Bdew jitolbuh ħafna lil Ġesù biex iwarrab minn pajjiżhom”. Dan hu li għamlu n-nies li ġew jaraw din il-ġrajja. Meta semgħu dak li kien ġara, u anke l-istorja drammatika ta’ kif Ġesù lil dan il-bniedem ħelsu mill-ispirti ħżiena, u mbagħad dawn marru fil-qżieqeż u dawn qabżu l-baħar u għerqu, baqgħu miblugħin bil-biża’. U lil Ġesù bdew jitolbuh biex jitlaq, iwarrab.

Il-kontra għamel dan il-bniedem li qabel kien bl-ispirti ħżiena fih, u li Ġesù ħelsu minn dawn l-ispirti ħżiena… Read more »
