God helps us through our brethren – The Archbishop

Mass inauguring the opening of St Francis Home by Fondazzjoni Nazareth

30/07/2024 The Parish Church of St Catherine, Żejtun

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù jpoġġi quddiemna għażla importanti ħafna, li fuqha se jkun deċiż id-destin tagħna; għażla li taf tkun iebsa, imma wkoll ċara ħafna. Kultant ninkwetaw fuq ħafna affarijiet, li l-Mulej f’dan l-Evanġelju li smajna ma jsemmihomx. Ma jistaqsinix kemm xegħelna xemgħa jew kemm dendilna damask. Ħa nkun ċar – lanqas kemm għamilna pavaljuni. Se jistaqsina kif trattajna lil xulxin. Nistgħu nagħmlulu l-isbaħ affarijiet ta’ deheb u fidda imma jekk ix-xbieha ħajja tiegħu, li huma ħutna, nistmahom ħażin, qed jgħidilna ċar: “dak li għamiltu ma’ wieħed mill-iżgħar fost dawn ħuti, għamiltuh miegħi” (Mt 25:40), fit-tajjeb u fil-ħażin… Read more »

“Laqgħetu għandha waħda mara jisimha Marta” (Lq 10:38).

Din is-silta nsibuha biss f’San Luqa, u turina, qabel xejn, l-ospitalità – kif din il-familja kienet tilqa’ bil-ferħ lil Ġesù… Read more »
