L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
“Kun ta’ eżempju għal dawk li jemmnu, fi kliemek u fl-imġiba tiegħek, fl-imħabba, fil-fidi, fis-safa” (1 Tim 4:12). Dawn il-kliem tal-Appostlu Missierna San Pawl lil Timotju, għeżież, nafdahomlkom bħala kelma ta’ profezija fuqkom illum. Minn hawn u ftit ieħor se tkunu ordnati djakni; u d-djakonat huwa dimensjoni li jibqa’ magħna dejjem. Għalhekk dan is-sagrament jagħti marka, karattru fir-ruħ tagħna.

Ritratt: Evan Demicoli – Arċidjoċesi ta’ Malta L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Nerġa’ ngħidilkom grazzi talli ġejtu hawnhekk illum u talli tagħmlu ħafna affarijiet oħrajn. U ltqajna biex nagħmlu festa, nibdew ix-xahar ta’ Mejju billi nagħmlu l-festa lil San Ġużepp Ħaddiem. Din il-festa ġġiegħelna naħsbu fuq għażla importanti tal-Mulej, li Ġesù kien isejjaħlu Missier, u għallimna ngħidulu ‘Missierna li Inti fis-Smewwiet,’ li lil Ibnu jafdah għand mastrudaxxa… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Dan mhuwiex bin il-mastrudaxxa?” (Mt 13:55). Din hija l-mistoqsija li jagħmlu n-nies fis-sinagoga fuq Ġesù, kif smajna fl-Evanġelju. Illum il-Knisja tqiegħed quddiemna lil dan il-mastrudaxxa, San Ġużepp, li minkejja li qatt ma ħalla kelma miktuba jew diskors magħruf, baqa’ jinstema’ b’qawwa tul iż-żmien.
F’dinja li ma tiqafx titkellem, Ġużeppi jagħżel is-skiet; f’kultura li tfittex ir-rikonoxximent, hu jibqa’ moħbi; f’soċjetà li tkejjel kollox bl-istatus u s-suċċess, hu jidher biss bħala mastrudaxxa, ħaddiem sempliċi… Read more »
