L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Iroddulek il-pjaċir li tkun għamiltilhom” (Lq 14:12). Dan hu l-kliem li jgħid Ġesù lill-kap tal-Fariżej, kif smajna fl-Evanġelju skont San Luqa llum, u f’dan il-kliem hemm il-qofol tal-messaġġ li qed jagħtina Ġesù llum. Hawnhekk kien qed jitkellem miegħu fuq lil min għandu jistieden għall-ikel, u qed jgħidlu biex meta jagħmel stedina għall-ikel, jistieden lil min ma jistax iroddlu “pjaċir bi pjaċir” (Lq 14:14)… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Il-mistoqsija li l-għaref tal-liġi għamel lil Ġesù, kienet mistoqsija importanti ħafna għal-Lhud taż-żmien Ġesù imma wkoll għal diversi ġenerazzjonijiet. Matul iż-żmien tant żviluppaw liġijiet li l-mistoqsija kienet: imma minn dan kollu, liema liġi hija l-iżjed importanti? Liema wieħed fost il-kmandamenti kollha huwa l-ewwel? Din hi l-mistoqsija li dan l-għaref tal-liġi għamel lil Ġesù. Għalkemm Ġesù kien iben mastrudaxxa, diġà kellu l-fama ta’ bniedem għaref u li jitkellem b’awtorità… Read more »
