L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Ikkmandahom u qalilhom ħafna biex ma jgħidu lil ħadd b’dan” (Lq 9:21).

Għal meta Pietru qallu: “Inti l-Messija ta’ Alla” (Lq 9:20). Hemmhekk Ġesù insista – hawn jgħidlek “ikkmandahom u qalilhom ħafna” – biex ma jgħidu lil ħadd b’dan… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Tahom qawwa u setgħa” (Lq 9:1). Fl-Evanġelju skont San Luqa, meta Ġesù jsejjaħ lit-tnax madwaru, l-Evanġelju jgħidilna li “tahom qawwa u setgħa”. Kien hu li sejħilhom, kien hu li tahom qawwa u setgħa, kien hu li bagħathom imbagħad ixandru s-Saltna ta’ Alla, ifejqu l-morda, ikeċċu x-xjaten.
