L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Għandna llum din il-ġrajja drammatika ta’ Ġesù li jiltaqa’ ma’ dal-bniedem li kien maħkum minn spirti ħżiena. U hawnhekk naraw lil Ġesù: li għandu l-awtorità fuq il-ħażen; li kollu mħabba u ħniena għal min qiegħed ibati; u li jġib bidla bil-qawwa trasformattiva tal-imħabba tiegħu.
Ġesù kien qiegħed in-naħa tal-pagani, fir-reġjun tal-Ġerasin, u hemmhekk ġie fuqu dal-bniedem maħkum minn spirti ħżiena… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Ir-rakkont li għadna kemm smajna mill-Vanġelu skont San Luqa jintroduċina ma’ ħames persuni; Marija u Ġużeppi, Xmun u Anna u f’nofshom it-tarbija Ġesù ta’ 40 jum. Huwa t-tifel li llum jiġi ppreżentat lil Alla. Huwa t-tifel li jinħeles mill-mewt bl-offerta ta’ żewġt ibċieċen. Għax il-liġi kienet tgħid li “l-ewwel wild ikun tiegħi u jinfeda bl-offerta tal-fqar.” Biex jinfeda l-ewwel tarbija tifel kien hemm bżonn żewġt ibċieċen jew par gamiem… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Dawl biex idawwal il-ġnus” (Lq 2:32). Dan huwa l-kliem li jgħid Xmun fit-tempju, u huwa l-kliem li jiġbor it-tifsira tal-festa li qed niċċelebraw illum.
Hi l-Festa tal-Preżentazzjoni tal-Mulej, ġrajja ta’ importanza fl-Istorja tas-Salvazzjoni. Din il-festa, iċċelebrata erbgħin jum wara l-Milied, tfakkar il-mument meta Marija u Ġużeppi jġibu lit-tarbija Ġesù fit-Tempju ta’ Ġerusalemm biex jippreżentawh lill-Mulej, skont il-Liġi Lhudija. Hawnhekk jiltaqgħu ma’ Xmun u Anna, żewġ qaddejja ta’ Alla li jagħrfu f’Ġesù l-Messija tant mistenni… Read more »
