Heals and integrates – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

  The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa, Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Resaq fuqu wieħed lebbruż” (Mt 8:2). Hekk naqraw fir-rakkont illum, mill-Evanġelju skont San Mattew. Għall-ewwel, meta taqra din is-silta, tgħid: hu ovvju, jekk dan kien marid u ried li Ġesù jfejqu, mhux jersaq fuqu?

Huma storja li fiha naraw mhux biss dak li għamel Fr Gerard Bonello, imma fuq kollox dak li għamel Alla fih, u permezz tiegħu. Għax kull ġublew saċerdotali, qabel xejn, huwa ċelebrazzjoni tal-fedeltà ta’ Alla. Aħna llum qegħdin ngħidu: “Mulej, grazzi li sejjaħt lil Fr Gerard u kkonsagrajtu… Read more »
