Trees that teach us – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

  The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa, Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Ħarsu lejn is-siġra tat-tin u s-siġar l-oħra” (Lq 21:29). Dan hu li jgħid Ġesù lid-dixxipli tiegħu, u Ġesù kien spiss juża l-eżempji ta’ dak li tara fil-ħolqien biex, permezz ta’ dan, iwassal il-messaġġ tiegħu. Diġà hu messaġġ fih innifsu meta Ġesù jgħid “Ħarsu lejn is-siġar tat-tin u s-siġar l-oħra”, għax hemmhekk jurina kif kien jgħożż il-ħolqien ta’ Alla.

L-ewwel messaġġ li għandna nieħdu hu li l-ħolqien qiegħed hemm biex aħna ngħożżuh u nipproteġuh, mhux biex nirrovinawh… Read more »
