L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Tħassarhom” (Mt 14:14). Din hi l-kelma li naqraw fl-Evanġelju skont San Mattew fuq Ġesù, meta ġie wiċċ imb wiċċ man-nies. Kien qed ifittex post imwarrab, u għalhekk telaq bid-dgħajsa; imma n-nies indunaw u mxew biex, hekk kif niżel mid-dgħajsa, sabhom ma’ wiċċu. U l-Evanġelju jgħid: “tħassarhom”.
Hemm silta oħra fl-Evanġelju skont San Mark fejn naraw l-istess kelma – “tħassarhom”… Read more »
Dear brothers and sisters, buongiorno!
In the Gospel of today’s liturgy, a man makes this request of Jesus: “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me” (Lk 12:13). This is a very common situation. Similar problems are still commonplace. How many brothers and sisters, how many members of the same family, unfortunately quarrel over their inheritance, perhaps no longer speaking to each other! … Read more »

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things.
I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Iftħu għajnejkom u ħarsu rwieħkom minn kull regħba” (Lq 12:15). Din is-sentenza ta’ Ġesù fl-Evanġelju llum hi, biex ngħid hekk, il-qofol tal-messaġġ tiegħu, u torbot ma’ dak li smajna f’silta oħra tal-Kelma ta’ Alla, l-Ittra ta’ San Pawl lill-Kolossin, meta jgħid li “r-regħba hi idolatrija” (Kol 3:5).
X’inhi r-regħba? Hi l-kilba biex inti dejjem ikollok, u jkollok aktar, u dejjem aktar, u qatt ma inti kuntent jew kuntenta b’dak li għandek, u minħabba f’hekk il-ħajja kollha ssir ġirja biex int takkumula aktar… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Ilkoll nafu kemm jista’ joħloq inkwiet dan l-imbierek wirt. Donnu Ġesù xamma din il-ħaġa meta wieħed mill-folla staqsih biex jgħid lil ħuh jaqsam il-wirt miegħu (Lq 12:13). Imma mbagħad immedjatament jispjegalna fuq xiex għandna noqgħodu tassew attenti u juża din il-kelma qawwija: “Iftħu għajnejkom, ħarsu rwieħkom minn kull rebgħa”. Hu jispjegalna “għax imqar jekk wieħed ikollu bir-radam,” jgħid, “ħajtu ma tiddependnix mill-ġid li jkollu” (Lq 12:15)… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Aħna mdorrijin inkejlu s-suċċess ta’ din id-dinja bil-ġid li dak li jkun ikollu mrekken u mfakkar. Anke l-ulied, kultant, iħarsu lejn il-ġenituri bħala investiment. X’se jħallulna? Ħafna drabi mal-wirt jiġi wkoll ħafna inkwiet.
Fil-fatt, l-Evanġelju tal-lum jibda proprju b’din is-sitwazzjoni, ta’ tilwim bejn l-aħwa dwar il-wirt. Ġesù jirrifjuta li jidħol f’din il-bixkla għax, kif nafu, ftit hemm soluzzjonijiet ġusti f’dawn l-affarijiet… Read more »
