L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

L-ewwel nett nixtieq nirringrazzjakom ħafna, talli aċċettajtu l-istedina, fost il-ħafna ċelebrazzjonijiet, li ġustament qed tagħmlu bħala konklużjoni feliċi tal-istudji tagħkom; għażiltu wkoll dan il-mument ta’ talb. Intom tifhmu li din hi għażla libera, u li mhux bilfors hi għażla komuni, ordinarja. Nixtieqkom tapprezzaw u nawgura li mhix għażla formali, għax hekk nagħmlu, għax hekk isir. Jiena napprezza u nawgura li ddeċidejtu li tiġu għax tridu, u mhux ta’ frott formaliżmu fieragħ. 

Il-kelma li nixtieq naqsam magħkom hi din l-awgurju, li waqt li tgawdu l-frott tax-xogħol tagħkom, intom tkunu dawl fis-soċjetà, u ta’ bidla tal-qalb… Read more »

“Kulma għamiltu ma’ wieħed mill-iżgħar fost dawn ħuti, għamiltuh miegħi” (Mt 25:40). Dan hu l-kliem li jgħid Ġesù llum fl-Evanġelju skont San Mattew, meta jsemmi dawk li aħna nafuhom bħala l-opri tal-ħniena. Jgħid: kont bil-ġuħ, bil-għatx, barrani, għeri, marid, u fil-ħabs. Jgħid li jistenna minna, li aħna dixxipli tiegħu, li aħna nieqfu ma’ dawk li huma fil-bżonn għax fuq hekk se nkunu ġġudikati. 

Il-Papa Franġisku jgħaqqad flimkien il-Beatitudnijiet mal-opri tal-ħniena… Read more »

L-ewwel Ħadd tar-Randan laqqagħna mar-rakkont ta’ Ġesù fid-deżert tal-Lhudija, li hu magħruf għat-temperaturi estremi tiegħu, u s-sorsi limitati tal-ilma. Hu medda kbira ta’ għoljiet u widien ta’ blat, u ma fihx ramel.

Fil-Bibbja jissemma iktar minn darba. Qabel dar-rakkont naraw lil Ġwanni l-Battista jipprietka propju fid-deżert tal-Lhudija, li fil-Lvant tiegħu nsibu x-Xmara Ġordan, ix-xmara fejn tgħammed Ġesù, u li minnha telaq għad-deżert fejn qatta’ erbgħin jum… Read more »
