This is how you are to pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Dan hu forsi l-iżjed tagħlim ta’ Ġesù li nħossuh diffiċli anke għax imur ’l hemm mil-liġi li għalina tagħmel sens: tħobb lil min iħobbok – lil għajrek, u tobgħod lil min jobogħdok. Mhux hekk nagħmlu aħna? L-istint tagħna hekk jgħidilna u nħossu li din xi ħaġa ġusta għax inti almenu tħobb lil min iħobbok mhux tobgħod lil min iħobbok, u lil min jobogħdok tpattilu bl-istess mibegħda… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Jien ngħidilkom biex bniedem ħażin ma tiqfulux”. Dan hu li Ġesù jgħid illum lid-dixxipli tiegħu fl-Evanġelju skont San Mattew. Żgur li din tinstema’ stramba. Kif lill-bniedem ħażin ma tiqaflux? Jekk bniedem qed jagħmel il-ħsara, qed iweġġa’ lil ħaddieħor – rajna llum fl-ewwel qari bniedem li jagħmel il-ħażin – jekk bniedem juża l-vjolenza kontra ħaddieħor, ma tiqaflux, tħallih jagħmel li jrid?
Nistgħu nifhmu aħjar il-kliem li qed jgħid Ġesù hawnhekk meta niftakru dak li għedna fis-salm, fejn għedna: “Għax int m’intix Alla li tħobb il-ħażen, il-ħażin ma jsibx postu għandek”… Read more »
