L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Liema wieħed, fost il-kmandamenti kollha, huwa l-ewwel?” (Mk 12:28) Din kienet id-domanda li wieħed mill-kittieba għamel lil Ġesù, kif rajna fl-Evanġelju skont San Mark. Kienet domanda li kienu jagħmluha kultant l-għorrief bejniethom biex jiddiskutu. Ir-raġuni kienet li filwaqt li aħna llum, meta nisimgħu l-kelma “kmandamenti”, mal-ewwel immorru għall-għaxar kmandamenti li Alla ta lill-poplu Lhudi permezz ta’ Mosè, fi żmien Ġesù kien hemm numru kbir ta’ kmandamenti, preċetti, regolamenti, u dak kollu li b’xi mod jew ieħor kellhom jagħmlu – jgħidu li kien hemm 648… Read more »

Gospel: Luke 18:9-14
Jesus addressed this parable to those who were convinced of their own righteousness and despised everyone else. “Two people went up to the temple area to pray; one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.
The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself, ‘O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity – greedy, dishonest, adulterous – or even like this tax collector… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Dan il-pellegrinaġġ qegħdin nagħmlu xi ħaġa għażiża għalina, li ilna ftit ma nagħmluha. Inħeġġiġkom biex anke għad-Duluri, u fil-purċissjonijiet tal-Ġimgħa Mqaddsa, aħna nieħdu sehem b’devozzjoni kbira bħalma għamilna llejla.
Xi rridu ngħidu bil-preżenza tagħna? Jiġuni dawn iż-żewġ talbiet għeżież li nixtieq noffrihom għalina lkoll. L-ewwel nett, fil-mixja tagħna wara x-xbieha għażiża u devota ta’ Ġesù Redentur, lil Alla qegħdin ngħidulu talba għażiża: ‘Sinjur Alla, jiena għandi bżonnok’… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Forsi wieħed ta’ min jistaqsi għaliex nisimgħu dan l-Evanġelju propju f’dan l-istaġun tar-Randan. Ma nafx jekk kellkomx ix-xorti ssegwu l-liturġija sabiħa li għamilna fil-parroċċa ta’ San Ġorġ, Ħal Qormi, il-Ħadd li għadda, meta lil dawn ħutna li se jitgħammdu fl-Għid, lill-adulti, l-Isqof għamlilhom l-ewwel skrutinju; l-ewwel skrutinju: theżżiża ġejja mil-Latin ‘scrutare’, anke li tgħarbel, theżżeż biex tgħarbel.
Waħda mit-talbiet ta’ dan l-ewwel skrutinju qabel il-Magħmudija tagħhom hija li huma jagħrfu ħtijjiethom – mhux qrara pubblika… Read more »
L-Arċisqof ta’ Malta Charles Scicluna rritorna fl-Iskola Primarja ta’ San Bastjan, f’Ħal Qormi, fejn fost l-oħrajn iddedika kważi nofs siegħa għal sessjoni ta’ mistoqsija u tweġiba mat-tfal tal-iskola.
Kien f’din l-iskola li Charles Scicluna, dakinhar tifel ta’ ħames snin, beda l-vjaġġ edukattiv tiegħu, u baqa’ jistudja sakemm għalaq għaxar snin. F’din l-iskola, hu kellu l-opportunità li jiftakar fit-tfulija tiegħu, fejn kien jgħix u jqatta’ l-ġranet tiegħu bħala tifel f’Ħal Qormi, kif ukoll minn fejn bdiet il-vokazzjoni għal ħajja reliġjuża… Read more »
