As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus answered him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother.’”

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

B’mod konkret, Ġesù iħares lejn il-kapaċitajiet tagħna llum u jistedinna biex insaffuhom. Jitkellem fuq il-ħarsa tagħna u fuq il-qalb tagħna. Il-ħarsa tagħna jixtieq isaffiha minn kull għamad.

Il-Mulej Ġesù, qed jipprova jgħallimna li l-ħarsa tagħna fuqna nfusna u fuq xulxin ġejja mill-qalb tagħna, u tesprimi min aħna tassew… Read more »
