Mass on the 27th Sunday in Ordinary time

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesu jagħżel 12 u jsejħilhom appostli. It-talba ta’ dan il-grupp hi t-talba f’isimna lkoll: “Kattar fina l-fidi” (Lq 17:5). Hi talba li għandna bżonnha. Ħafna drabi aħna marbutin mar-reliġjon u nagħmlu sewwa. Ir-religjon hi dak kollu li jgħinna niġu f’kuntatt ma’ Alla personalment u bħala komunità, bħala familja.

F’dan il-post għażiż għad-devozzjoni lejn l-Arkanġli u San Mikiel illum nitolbu l-ħarsien tal-arkanġli u tal-anġli. Aħna dalwaqt ukoll nagħmlu festa kbira għall-anġli kustodji kollha fit-2 ta’ Ottubru imma dawn il-jiem jibdew billi nfakkru tliet anġli li fl-Iskrittura jissemmew b’isimhom, jingħataw it-titlu ta’ arkanġli għax jingħataw missjoni importanti, u wkoll jgħallmuna bl-isem magħżul għalihom xi tfisser l-interċessjoni tal-anġli.

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù jikkonfronta l-ambjent addottiv tiegħu, Korażajn, Betsajda, bir-responsabbiltà li għandu. Nistgħu nieħdu wkoll il-Kelma tiegħu bħala stedina għal kull wieħed u kull waħda minna.

Kulħadd hu importanti, kulħadd għandu rwol essenzjali biex il-komunità ta’ dawk li jemmnu f’Ġesù, li huma wkoll konxji bid-dgħufija u d-dnubiet tagħhom, ilkoll kemm aħna nkunu xhieda tal-imħabba li rċevejna, li nkunu xhieda tal-imħabba ta’ Ġesù fid-dinja… Read more »
