L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Is-sema u l-art jgħaddu, imma kliemi ma jgħaddix” (Lq 21:33). Dan hu li Ġesù jgħid, fl-
Evanġelju llum skont San Luqa, lid-dixxipli tiegħu. Dak li jgħid lid-dixxipli tiegħu qed jgħidu wkoll lilna llum, f’din l-okkażjoni partikulari tal-Gradwazzjoni tal-Istitut ta’ Formazzjoni Pastorali.

Hemm talba li aħna ngħidu ħafna drabi f’mument importanti tal-quddiesa eżatt wara li Ġesù jiġi fostna taħt ix-xbihat tal-ħobż u l-inbid li jsiru l-Ġisem u d-Demm tiegħu. Is-saċerdot jgħidilna: “Dan hu l-misteru tal-fidi” u waħda mir-risposti sbieħ li ħafna drabi ngħidu hi: “Inħabbru l-mewt tiegħek, Mulej, inxandru bil-ferħ il-qawmien tiegħek, nistennewk sa ma tiġi fil-glorja”. Nistennewk sa ma tiġi fil-glorja!
Dan li qegħdin nagħmlu f’dan l-istaġun tal-Avvent… Read more »
