L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Smajtu xi ntqal…imma jien ngħidilkom” (Mt 5:21-22). Dan hu d-diskors li għamel Ġesù, li smajna fl-Evanġelju llum, meta jqabbel dak li kienu jafu d-dixxipli tiegħu mill-passat – il-liġijiet u l-kmandamenti – imbagħad jgħidilhom hu x’għandhom jagħmlu. Ma nsibuhx biss hawn f’din is-silta, għax hawn Ġesù qiegħed, fl-Evanġelju skont San Mattew, fuq il-muntanja jkellem lid-dixxipli, u diversi drabi jgħid hekk: “Smajtu xi ntqal…imma jien ngħidilkom”… Read more »

Jesus says that the people of Nineveh “repented at the preaching of Jonah” (Lk 11:32)… Read more »
