Dear brothers and sisters, good afternoon and happy Sunday!
Today’s Gospel tells us how Jesus reveals to his disciples the Mystery of his impending Passion. The Messiah, he says, must “go to Jerusalem and undergo great suffering at the hands of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised” (Mt 16:21)… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Għalhekk ġejt narak fit-tempju mqaddes tiegħek, biex nitgħaxxaq bis-setgħa u l-glorja tiegħek” (Salm 63:3). Hekk tlabna fis-Salm illum. Kliem li jgħodd ħafna għax qed niċċelebraw jum ta’ ringrazzjament speċjali.
Mitt sena ilu, tqiegħdet l-ewwel ġebla ta’ din il-knisja parrokkjali. Dawk li nġabru għal dik l-okkażjoni, u dawk li ħadmu biex bnew ġebla fuq oħra, ma setgħux jimmaġinaw għalkollox il-ġenerazzjonijiet li kienu se jiġu warajhom… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Allaħares, Mulej! Ma jkun qatt li dan jgħaddi minn għalik! (Mt 16:22). Dan huwa l-kliem li Pietru jgħid lil Ġesù fl-Evanġelju, hekk kif hu juri lid-dixxipli tiegħu x’hemm jistennieh: it-tbatija, iċ-ċaħda, il-mewt, u mbagħad il-qawmien mill-imwiet. Pietru jitħawwad ħafna b’dak li jisma’. Ma jistax jaċċetta li l-Messija kellu jbati. Għalhekk, jiġbed lil Ġesù lejh, u jlumu.
Imma meta jgħidlu “Ma jkun qatt li dan jgħaddi minn għalik!”, Ġesù jwieġbu bi kliem qawwi ħafna, b’ċanfira li ma tantx tara bħalha fil-kliem ta’ Ġesù: “Itlaq minn quddiemi, ja xitan! … Read more »
