Jesus’ simple words have a great effect on our conscience – The Archbishop

  The Parish Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Hemm Kelma ta’ Ġesù llum li tispjegalna x’jinkwetah. Meta jitkellem fuq ir-regħba, jitkellem fuq xi ħadd li mhux ifaddal – għax li tfaddal huwa għaqal – imma li jfaddal għalih nnifsu biss. “Iftħu għajnejkom u ħarsu rwieħkom minn kull regħba” (Lq 12:15).  Meta dak li tagħmel, tagħmlu biss għalik innifsek. “Iblah li int!” (Lq 12:20). “Hekk jiġrilu min jiġma’ l-ġid għalih innifsu bla ma jistagħna quddiem Alla” (Lq 12:21)… Read more »

Where did all this good come from? – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

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

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Mnejn ġieb dan l-għerf u din il-qawwa tal-għaġeb?” (Mt 13:54) Dan huwa l-kliem li qalu n-nies fis-sinagoga, meta Ġesù kien hemmhekk; daħal fis-sinagoga u beda jgħallem. Ir-reazzjoni tagħhom kienet reazzjoni ta’ stagħġib – Mnejn ġieb dan l-għerf u din il-qawwa tal-għaġeb?  Qed jitkellmu fuq il-kelma tiegħu, li kienet kelma tal-għerf; u fuq dak li kien jagħmel, is-sinjali u l-mirakli li kienu juru qawwa tal-għaġeb.  Għalhekk, il-mistoqsija tagħhom kienet: “Mnejn ġieh dan kollu?” (Mt 13:56)

Hija mistoqsija tajba, għaliex proprju dak li kellhom jaraw… Read more »
