L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Il-qalb, ir-ruħ u l-moħħ. Dawn huma t-tlieta li jsemmi Ġesù hawnhekk, meta jrid jenfasizza l-imħabba lejn Alla bħala l-kmandament il-kbir. Staqsieh wieħed għaref fil-Liġi: “liema hu l-kmandament il-kbir, fil-Liġi?” (Mt 22:36), u Ġesù jgħidlu: “Ħobb lill-Mulej Alla tiegħek b’qalbek kollha, b’ruħek kollha u b’moħħok kollu” (Mt 22:37). Imma li kien speċjali għal min kien qed jisma’ lil Ġesù kien il-fatt li Ġesù ma waqafx hemm, imma miegħu żied kmandament ieħor, li Ġesù jgħid li jixbhu: “Ħobb li għajrek bħalek innifsek” (Mt 22:39)… Read more »

Fl-Evanġelju tal-lum, Ġesù jagħmel lid-dixxipli tiegħu mistoqsija ta’ dan it-tieni tip: “Min jgħidu n-nies li hu Bin il-bniedem?” (Mt 16:13) U mbagħad jagħmlilhom mistoqsija aktar personali: “Imma intom, min tgħidu li jien?” (Mt 16:15).
Din hija waħda mill-aktar mistoqsijiet importanti fl-Evanġelju kollu… Read more »

In those days, Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him about whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth.” Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” When Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, he said of him, “Here is truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit!” Nathanael asked him, “Where did you get to know me?”
