Give yourselves to people but find time for yourself too – The Archbishop to the new deacons

Mass celebrating the ordination to the diaconate

  St John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

“Ma nsejħilkomx aktar qaddejja, għax il-qaddej ma jafx x’jagħmel sidu; sejjaħtilkom ħbieb” (Ġw 15:15). Int u tisma’ din il-Kelma proprju bħal-lum fid-djakonat, tgħid imma Ġesù jaf eżattament x’inhu jgħid. Meta aħna għadna kemm ikkonfermajna l-għażla tal-Knisja, biex lil dawn iż-żewġt irġiel żgħażagħ insejħulhom qaddejja, djakni – diákonoi.

“Jekk wieħed ma jitwelidx mill-ġdid, ma jistax jara s-Saltna ta’ Alla” (Ġw 3:3). Dan huwa l-kliem li Ġesù qal lil Nikodemu, li kien wieħed mill-kbarat tal-Lhud, wieħed mill-Fariżej, li kienu normalment kritiċi ħafna ta’ Ġesù. Imma dan ried imur ikellmu, u jkellmu bil-moħbi bil-lejl. U Ġesù mal-ewwel jgħidlu dal-kliem: li wieħed irid jitwieled mill-ġdid.

Nikodemu ma fehmux lil Ġesù għall-bidu… Read more »
