It’s like an ID card – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

08/06/2026   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa, Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Ifirħu u thennew” (Mt 5:12). F’din is-silta li għadna kemm qrajna mill-Evanġelju skont San Mattew, għandna dawn il-Beatitudnijiet li kollha jduru madwar l-hena u l-ferħ. L-ewwel ħaġa li tolqotna f’dal-kliem ta’ Ġesù hija kif hawnhekk għandna sfida qawwija għall-ħajja tagħna Nisranija, bħala dixxipli ta’ Ġesù, għax mhux faċli tgħix dan li qed jgħid Ġesù.

U hawnhekk Ġesù qisu jagħmel naqra tħabbila tal-moħħ. Jgħidilhom: il-kittieb jgħidu li l-Messija huwa bin David. Imbagħad jikkwotalhom salm – hawnhekk Ġesù qed jikkwota Salm 110 – u jgħid: “Il-Mulej qal lil sidi: oqgħod fuq il-lemin tiegħi, sa ma nkun qegħidt l-għedewwa tiegħek taħt riġlejh” (Mk 12:36) – is-salm miktub minn David… Read more »
