L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“M’intix ’il bogħod mis-Saltna ta’ Alla” (Mk 12:34). Dan hu li jgħid Ġesù lil dak il-kittieb li għamillu l-mistoqsija, u l-Evanġelju jgħid li “Ġesù ra kemm kien wieġeb bil-għaqal” (Mk 12:34). Mhuwiex komuni li ma’ xi ħadd mill-kittieba Ġesù jitkellem b’dal-mod, għax ħafna drabi wħud mill-kittieba u l-Fariżej kienu, meta jitkellmu miegħu, jew jeħduha kontrieh jew jistaqsuh biex jonsbuh. Mentri dan staqsieh b’sinċerità, għax ried ikun jaf liema, fost il-kmandamenti kollha, huwa l-ewwel… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Dan l-għaref tal-liġi, dan il-kittieb, wieġeb bil-għaqal għax fehem li l-aqwa ħaġa fil-ħajja hija l-imħabba. U aħna qegħdin hawn biex nuru l-imħabba tagħna lil min ħabbna tassew. “Ħadd ma għandu imħabba akbar minn din: li wieħed jagħti ħajtu għal ħbiebu” (Ġw 15:13). Il-mixja li għadna kemm għamilna u dawn il-jiem qaddisa li qed inniedu f’dan il-pellegrinaġġ qaddis tar-Redentur, ifakkurna li l-ħajja tagħna jkollha togħma sabiħa u tajba, daqskemm tkun imsejsa fuq l-imħabba… Read more »
