L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Riedu jixħtuh minn hemm fuq għal isfel” (Lq 4:29). Hawnhekk, f’dan l-Evanġelju, naraw din ir-reazzjoni vjolenti ta’ dawn in-nies li kienu qegħdin jisimgħu lil Ġesù fis-sinagoga. Li ġara kien li kif semmielhom xi ħaġa li fil-fatt hi mill-Iskrittura stess u li kienu jafuha, dawn ħaduha bi kbira u, l-Evanġelju jgħid, “kulħadd imtela bil-korla” (Lq 4:28).

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
It-tliet Evanġelji li se naqraw fil-Ħdud li ġejjin, inkluż dan, huma kollha meħudin mill-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann. Jgħidulna xi ħaġa fuq min hu Ġesù, xi ħaġa milli jgħid hu stess fuqu nnifsu. “Jiena naf li ġej il-Messija, dak li jgħidulu Kristu. Meta jiġi hu, kollox iħabbrilna” (Ġw 4:25), hekk tgħid il-mara Samaritana, li kellha ħamest irġiel, imma dak li kienet miegħu, lanqas hu ma kien ir-raġel tagħha… Read more »
