L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
“Ġesù għajjien kif kien mill-mixi” (Ġw 4:6). L-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna jibda b’din is-sitwazzjoni ta’ Ġesù li flimkien mad-dixxipli qed iterraq, jiġi f’belt tas-Samarija u jaqbdu l-għatx. Id-dixxipli jmoru l-belt jixtru x’jieklu. Hi sitwazzjoni tagħna l-bnedmin tal-għatx u l-ġuħ.
Hawnhekk b’dan id-dettall l-evanġelista jurina min hu Bin il-bniedem, min hu Ġesù. Hu bniedem imma dak li għandu joffri jmur ’l hemm minn dak li jidher… Read more »
“Min jixrob mill-ilma li nagħtih jien qatt iżjed ma jkun bil-għatx.” Ġwanni 4:14
Fit-tielet Ħadd tar-Randan nisimgħu dwar il-laqgħa ta’ Ġesù u s-Samaritana fejn il-bir ta’ Ġakobb.
L-ilma fir-reliġjon Nisranija hu simbolu b’diversi sinifikati. Hemm l-aspett distruttiv tal-ilma li fl-istess waqt ikun qed inaddaf ukoll. Pereżempju fl-istorja ta’ Noè, naraw li l-art għerqet biex jinqered il-ħażen fid-dinja. Fl-istess waqt l-ilma huwa wkoll simbolu tal-ħajja, ta’ tiġdid u ta’ fejqan. Bħalma kien ġara lir-raġel għama mit-twelid li beda jara wara li nħasel fl-għadira kif kien qallu Ġesù… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Fehmu li hu kien qiegħed jgħid għalihom” (Mt 21:45). Dan hu li naqraw illum fl-Evanġelju fuq il-qassisin il-kbar u l-Fariżej li kienu għadhom kif semgħu l-parabbola li kien qal Ġesù ta’ sid il-għalqa li ħa ħsieb sew biex jagħmilha għalqa tajba, ħawwel id-dwieli, bnielha torri u qabbilha lil xi bdiewa.
L-Evanġelju jgħid li “fehmu li hu kien qiegħed jgħid għalihom” – u fehmu sew! … Read more »

Then he said, “A man had two sons, and the younger son said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of your estate that should come to me.’ So the father divided the property between them… Read more »
