L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Ma felħux jissaportu meta raw l-għeġubijiet li kienu qegħdin isiru” (Mt 21:15). Dan il-kliem insibuh ftit qabel din il-ġrajja, u jirreferi għall-qassisin il-kbar u l-kittieba. Meta lil Ġesù rawh ifejjaq, u ftit qabel kien daħal fit-Tempju u keċċa l-bejjiegħa minn hemm, ma felħux jissaportu. U iktar, imbagħad, ilmentaw meta semgħu lit-tfal jgħidu fuq Ġesù: “Hosanna lil Bin David” (Mt 21:15).
Għalhekk, ftit versi wara meta nsibu din il-ġrajja fl-Evanġelju skont San Mattew, hemm dik il-mistoqsija li għamlu lil Ġesù, meta qalulu: “Int b’liema setgħa qed tagħmel dan kollu? … Read more »

Nevertheless, he does not lose hope, thus becoming for us a sign that a prophet, even in chains, retains the ability to use his voice in the pursuit of truth and justice… Read more »

Phil 4:4)… Read more »
