L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Kemm hi għażiża d-dar tiegħek, Mulej tal-eżerċti!” (Salm 84:2). Illum niċċelebraw jum ta’ tifkira u ta’ misteru: it-tifkira ta’ meta din il-binja għażiża ġiet ikkonsagrata lil Alla, u l-misteru ta’ Alla li għażel li jgħammar fostna.

Qegħdin fuq art qaddisa. Din id-dar ikkonsagrata hija dar għażiża għax fiha aħna niltaqgħu ma’ Alla, nirċievu u nimtlew bl-imħabba tiegħu. Hawn niġu biex infaħħruh, biex nirringrazzjawh, biex nitolbuh il-barka u l-għajnuna tiegħu… Read more »
