Life of a Shepherd: Archbishop Emeritus Paul Cremona’s gift of self

Mill-biża’ mill-prietki fl-ewwel jiem tal-ordinazzjoni tiegħu, għall-aċċettazzjoni li jkun ragħaj spiritwali għall-poplu Malti. Dan hu sommarju ċkejken tal-qadi li l-Arċisqof Emeritu Mons. Pawlu Cremona O.P. fedelment offra lill-Knisja u, fuq kollox, lil Alla. Sommarju li fih, mal-ewwel daqqa t’għajn, nilmħu li ma kienx nieqes mill-vulnerabbilità; l-istess vulnerabbilità li Cremona qatt ma staħa jesponi, għaliex fiha dejjem lemaħ il-ħidma ta’ Kristu fih innifsu.

Five powerful words – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

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

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Ħennu, tiġġudikawx, tikkundannawx, aħfru, agħtu. Dawn il-ħames kelmiet jgħid Ġesù llum fl- Evanġelju skont San Luqa. Id-diskors hu qasir ħafna, imma huma kelmiet li jfissru ħafna. Nafu li mhux faċli li dawn ngħixuhom fil-prattika. Imma jekk Ġesù dawn jgħidhom lid-dixxipli tiegħu, ifisser li hu possibbli li aħna ngħixuhom.

Ġesù jgħid: “Ħennu, bħalma hu ħanin Missierkom” (Lq 6:36). Alla hu ħanin u twajjeb magħna… Read more »
