Our actions toward our neighbours contribute to making the world a better place – The Archbishop

Mass on the Solemnity of Christ the King

  Aviation Museum, Ta' Qali

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Fil-festa ta’ Ġesù bħala Sultan, illum niltaqgħu miegħu bħala mħallef ġust għaliex mhux biss jagħtina sentenza skont il-verità imma wkoll imħallef ġust li jikkonferma l-għażliet li nkunu għamilna fil-ħajja tagħna.

Huwa r-ragħaj li jifred in-nagħaġ mill-mogħoż. Ovvjament din hija kategorija allegorika. M’għandna xejn kontra l-mogħoż u lanqas kontra n-nagħaġ. Kultant ngħidu li xi ħadd huwa bodbod imma l-bdabad ukoll maħluqa minn Alla u kulma ħalaq Alla huwa tajjeb… Read more »

U quddiemu jinġabru l-ġnus kollha, u hu jifridhom minn xulxin, bħalma r-ragħaj jifred in-nagħaġ mill-mogħoż: in-nagħaġ iqegħedhom fuq il-lemin tiegħu u l-mogħoż fuq ix-xellug… Read more »

Communion, participation, mission – Archbishop

Il-messaġġ tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Bħal-lum, meta jgħiduli “Ad multos annos”, jiena ngħid, “pavere multos”, ma non esageriamo. Anke għax, tkun kemm tkun tajba l-ħaġa, fl-aħħar tgħid, “too much of a good thing”. Imma naf li mhix il-każ. 

Jiena nixtieq naqsam dan il-messaġġ qasir tiegħi, anke għaliex sar il-ħin u tinkwetani li bniedem ikollu bżonn anke jinġabar. Għall-grazzja ta’ Alla bdejna nxommu ftit tax-xitwa wkoll, li hija barka għalina. 

Xtaqt li l-intervent tiegħi llum, u l-indirizz tiegħi lilkom, ikun fuq żewġ partijiet… Read more »
