L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Żgur li ħadd minna ma jlum lil Marta li lmentat ma’ Ġesù, kif naqraw fl-Evanġelju skont San Luqa llum, li x-xogħol li kellha tagħmel id-dar waqa’ fuqha biss, u oħtha, li kienet hemm, ma kinitx qed tgħin. Qaltlu: “Mulej, m’intix tara kif oħti ħalliet ix-xogħol kollu fuqi biss? Mela għidilha taqbad tagħmel xi ħaġa miegħi!” (Lq 10:40) Nifhmuha, għax kultant jiġri hekk, anke fil-ħajja tal-familja… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
“Nimxu warajk kull fejn teħodna, Verġni Marija!” Kemm hu sabiħ dan ir-responsorju li għadna kemm tlabna, f’din il-quddiesa solenni fil-festa tal-Madonna tal-Karmnu. Ta’ min naħsbu ftit fuq dan il-versett, li nirrepetuh ta’ kull sena f’din it-tifkira solenni tas-16 ta’ Lulju; proprju f’din is-sena li qed niċċelebraw l-400 anniversarju mill-ewwel purċissjoni fil-Belt Valletta, bi xbieha għażiża tal-Madonna tal-Karmnu.

“Jiena r-ragħaj it-tajjeb” (Ġw 10:11). Din smajnieha llum b’enfasi fis-silta mill-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann, u din tagħtina l-ispirazzjoni għall-ħidma li nagħmlu mat-tfal u mal-adolexxenti.
Relazzjoni miegħu
Dan għax fl-aħħar mill-aħħar il-ħidma tagħna għandha tkun indirizzata lejn ir-relazzjoni ma’ Ġesù, ir-ragħaj it-tajjeb. Ikun qabelxejn ir-ragħaj it-tajjeb tagħna li jmexxina, aħna u nagħmlu din il-ħidma, kull wieħed u waħda minna… Read more »
