come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Hu propju l-każ li nifhmu dak li jgħid is-saċerdot meta jaqra l-Evanġelju fil-quddiesa: “Bit-tagħlim tal-Evanġelju nitnaddfu minn dnubietna”. Għaliex din il-kelma ta’ Ġesu hi diretta lilna li nipprietkaw, li nitilgħu fuq il-pulpti, nibda l-ewwel wieħed minni nnifsi. U l-Mulej qed jistaqsini: ‘Imma, ħabib, inti l-missjoni li aċċettajt għalfejn qiegħed tħaddimha? Biex tidher? Biex jgħidulek eċċellenza? Biex tkun Arċisqof ta’ Malta? … Read more »

Malta ma għandniex muntanji, naslu sal-għoljiet. Imma min ġieli tela’ fuq muntanja, bil-mixi jew b’xi mezz ta’ trasport, jaf kemm il-muntanja tagħtik sensazzjoni ta’ kobor, ta’ xi ħaġa ’l fuq mill-bqija. Hu għalhekk li l-muntanja, kemm-il darba fl-Iskrittura, insibuha bħala l-post tal-laqgħa speċjali ma’ Alla, fejn Alla juri lilu nnifsu, fejn ikun hemm esperjenza speċjali u qawwija ta’ Alla… Read more »

“Nerfa’ għajnejja lejn l-għoljiet; imnejn se tiġini l-għajnuna?”
Fit-tieni Ħadd tar-Randan nisimgħu dwar it-trasfigurazzjoni ta’ Ġesù fuq il-muntanja Tabor.
Il-muntanji u l-għoljiet fil-Bibbja huma msemmija iktar minn ħames mitt darba. U dan mhux b’kumbinazzjoni, iżda għax fil-fidi Lhudija, il-muntanji jikkunsidrawhom bħala l-eqreb li tista’ tkun m’Alla minħabba li kienu jilħqu lejn is-smewwiet, l-eqreb lejn id-dawl. Infatti ħafna ġrajjiet sinifikanti ġraw fuq il-muntanji… Read more »
Dear brothers and sisters, buongiorno!
On this Second Sunday of Lent, the Gospel of the Transfiguration is proclaimed. Jesus takes Peter, James and John with him on the mountain and is revealed to them in all his beauty as Son of God (cf. Mt 17:1-9).
Let us pause a moment over this scene and ask ourselves: Of what does this beauty consist? … Read more »
