“Jien hu li jeħtieġ li nitgħammed minnek, u int tiġi għandi?” (Mt 3:14) Din kienet l-oġġezzjoni ta’ Ġwanni l-Battista meta, hu u jgħammed, tfaċċa Ġesù u ried li jitgħammed hu wkoll. Fl-Evanġelju skont San Mattew jgħidilna “ma ħalliehx”; imma mbagħad, meta kellmu Ġesù, ħallieh jitgħammed.
X’kienet l-oġġezzjoni ta’ Ġwanni l-Battista? Ġwanni kien jgħammed “magħmudija ta’ ndiema” (Mk 1:4)… Read more »

Din is-silta mill-ewwel kapitlu: għadna fl-ewwel kapitlu tal-Evanġelju ta’ San Mark. Huwa Evanġelju li ma jagħtina xejn dwar it-twelid ta’ Ġesù u lanqas it-tfulija ta’ Ġesù. L-Evanġelju ta’ San Mark jibda bi Ġwanni l-Battista u bil-Magħmudija tal-Mulej. Għadna fl-ewwel kapitlu u nindunaw mill-ewwel il-bidu ta’ dik li aħna nsejħulha l-ħajja u l-ħidma pubblika ta’ Ġesù… Read more »

Jesus came to Capernaum with his followers, and on the sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught. The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.

Dear brothers and sisters, buongiorno!

A very precious journey – Bishop Galea-Curmi
08/01/2023 Parish Church, Balzan
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Fejn hu dak li twieled sultan tal-Lhud?” (Mt 2:2) Din kienet il-mistoqsija li għamlu xi magi li ġew Ġerusalemm mil-Lvant, bl-iskop li huma jaslu għand dan is-sultan u jqimuh. Kienet mistoqsija magħmula b’sinċerità, imma li qajmet ferment kbir fost il-kbarat. Fil-fatt, l-Evanġelju skont San Mattew jgħid li għal dil-mistoqsija, Erodi li sema’ bihom “tħawwad hu u Ġerusalemm kollha miegħu” (Mt 2:3)… Read more »
