Din is-sena ddedikata lill-Evanġelista San Mark, is-silta għal din il-festa, kif inhu xieraq, hi minn dan l-Evanġelju miktub għad-dell tal-appostli Pietru u Pawlu. “Fl-ewwel jum tal-Ażmi meta kienu jissagrifikaw il-ħaruf tal-Għid” (Mk 14:12), il-kuntest li jagħti l-Evanġelista Mark għar-rakkont tal-Ewkaristija hu proprju l-kuntest tal-Għid li hu l-mixja ta’ ħelsien mill-mewt għall-ħajja, mid-dlam għad-dawl. U r-riferiment speċifiku għall-Ħaruf tal-Għid jurina wkoll li din l-ikla li se jħejji l-Mulej hi wkoll tifkira ta’ sagrifiċċju li jġibilna l-ħelsien… Read more »
Message by Bishop Joseph Galea-Curmi
“The Eucharist commits us to the poor. To receive in truth the Body and Blood of Christ given up for us, we must recognise Christ in the poorest, his brethren” (CCC 1397)”.
