L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Irid sinjal” (Lq 11:29). Dan hu li jgħid Ġesù fuq nies li jsejħilhom “nisel ħażin”. Mal-ewwel jolqotna kemm dan huwa kliem iebes. Għaliex qed jitkellem b’dal-mod Ġesù? Għax dawn in-nies li riedu sinjal kellhom, fil-fatt, tant sinjali fil-ħajja ta’ Ġesù. Jekk aħna naqraw qabel din is-silta skont San Luqa, anke l-kapitli ta’ qabel, naraw diversi mirakli li għamel Ġesù – kien hemm wieħed li ħelsu mix-xitan, ieħor minn spirtu mniġġes, fejjaq il-morda, u tant sinjali oħra… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Bis-saħħa ta’ Alla” (Lq 11:20). Dan huwa l-kliem li juża Ġesù biex jiddeskrivi dak li kien qed jagħmel. Ftit qabel, kien ħeles lil bniedem minn xitan. U jgħid dan proprju minħabba li wħud min-nies, meta hu għamel dan il-miraklu, flok stagħġbu bil-miraklu jew irringrazzjaw lil Alla, jew ferħu li bniedem li kien maħkum mix-xitan issa nħeles, qalu fuq Ġesù li dak li kien qed jagħmel qed jagħmlu bis-saħħa tax-xitan, anzi “bis-saħħa ta’ Begħelżebul il-prinċep tax-xjaten” (Lq 11:15)… Read more »

When Pope Francis published Laudato Si’ ten years ago, he offered the world not only an encyclical, but a prophetic call – a cry of both the earth and the poor. He reminded us that “everything is connected” (Laudato Si’, 91), that the ecological crisis is not separate from the moral, social, and spiritual crises of our age… Read more »
