L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Ħraxu għal Ġesù” (Ġw 5:16). Din il-kelma “ħraxu” tolqotna ħafna f’dan l-Evanġelju. Dan għaliex meta inti taqra x’għamel Ġesù hawnhekk, tinduna li għamel xi ħaġa ta’ ġid, ta’ ġid kbir. Għaliex l-Evanġelju jgħid li l-Lhud “ħraxu għal Ġesù”? Ir-raġuni jagħtihielna l-Evanġelju stess: “għax f’Jum is-Sibt kien jagħmel ħwejjeġ bħal dawn” (Ġw 5:16). Bħal liema? Xi ħwejjeġ kien jagħmel Ġesù? F’Jum is-Sibt kien jagħmel il-ġid, kien ifejjaq… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Ir-raġel emmen il-kelma li qallu Ġesù” (Ġw 4:50). Dan hu li naqraw fl-Evanġelju skond San Ġwann fuq dan l-uffiċċjal tas-sultan li ġie jfittex lil Ġesù biex jgħidlu ħa jmur ifejjaq lil ibnu, għax ibnu kien ħażin ħafna. Nafu li lil Ġesù għamillu talba ħerqana: “Inżel, Mulej, qabel ma jmutli t-tifel” (Ġw 4:49). Hija verament talba li ġejja mill-qalb. U nafu li Ġesù ma marx, imma qallu: “Mur, ibnek ħaj” (Ġw 4:50)… Read more »
