L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Kien fi triqtu lejn Ġerusalemm meta Ġesù “għadda jgħallem f’xi bliet u fl-irħula” (Lq 13:22). San Luqa jfakkarna li Ġesù kien qiegħed miexi lejn Ġerusalemm, u din mhijiex sempliċiment indikazzjoni ġeografika tat-triq li minnha kien għaddej u l-post fejn kien se jasal. Ġerusalemm hu l-post tal-passjoni, tal-mewt u tal-qawmien tiegħu. Kull pass li jagħmel Ġesù hu pass lejn it-twettiq tal-missjoni tiegħu ta’ salvazzjoni.
Il-mistoqsija importanti
L-Evanġelju jurina lil Ġesù li f’din it-triq, ikompli għaddej minn diversi postijiet biex iwassal il-Bxara t-Tajba… Read more »
