19/06/2022   St Paul's Cathedral, Mdina

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Fil-festa tal-Ġisem u d-Demm ta’ Ġesù nistħajlu li l-Knisja tagħżel xi Evanġelju jirrakkonta l-mument meta Ġesù jwaqqaf dan is-sagrament. Fil-qari li smajna llum huwa l-Appostlu Missierna San Pawl meta jikteb lill-Koritin li jfakkarna x’ġara u li hu kien irċieva mingħand il-Mulej it-tagħlim li għadda lill-komunità ta’ Korintu. “Il-Mulej Ġesù fil-lejl li fih kien ittradut, ħa l-ħobż u wara li radd il-ħajr, qasmu u qal: ‘Dan hu ġismi li ngħata lilkom; agħmlu dan b’tifkira tiegħi’… Read more »

Treasures in heaven – Bishop Galea-Curmi

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Ġemmgħu għalikom teżori fis-sema” (Mt 6:20). Dan hu li Ġesù jgħid lid-dixxipli tiegħu llum, fl-Evanġelju skont San Mattew, filwaqt li jagħmel kuntrast bejn dawn it-teżori fis-sema, it-teżori li jibqgħu, u t-teżori f’din id-dinja li, jgħid Ġesù, jitmermru bil-kamla u s-sadid u kultant ukoll jinsterqu mill-ħallelin.

Ġesù qed jagħti messaġġ ċar. Aħna nafu x’jiġifieri meta jgħid “teżori fid-dinja”. Il-Papa Franġisku, meta jispjega din, isemmi tlieta, fost oħrajn: il-vanità, il-poter u l-ġid materjali… Read more »

Il-laqgħa ta’ Pawlu ma’ Ġesù fit-triq ta’ Damasku hi f’mument ta’ dawl qawwi, qrib nofsinhar, meta fid-deżert ix-xemx tiżreġ. Fl-istess ħin Pawlu jara dawl, li donnu jisboq id-dawl tax-xemx naturali, dawl li għamieh. Għandu bżonn l-għajnuna ta’ sħabu, kif qrajna fit-tieni qari llum, f’rakkont li żgur tafuh tajjeb, intom il-membri tal-parroċċa ta’ Ħal Safi. Kellu bżonn l-għajnuna ta’ sħabu biex jobdi l-Kelma ta’ Ġesù, li tistiednu jmur Damasku… Read more »
