Jesus knows which medicine to give us for our sins – The Archbishop

Sunday Mass

18/01/2026   The President's Palace Chapel, Ħ'Attard

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Id-domanda fundamentali li jpoġġi quddiemna dan l-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna hija: min hu Ġesù? Xi ħadd jiltaqa’ miegħek li ma jafux u jgħidlek: ‘Min hu Ġesù?’ San Ġwann qed jipprova jispjegalna l-identità ta’ Ġesù. “Araw il-Ħaruf ta’ Alla” (Ġw 1:29). Għaliex meta jara lil dan il-mastrudaxxa ta’ Nazaret, magħruf bħala bin Ġużeppi u bin Marija ta’ Nazaret, ma jgħidx: ‘Dan hu raġel veru sew.’ Imma jgħid “il-Ħaruf ta’ Alla”… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Ibni, dnubietek maħfura” (Mk 2:5). Dawn huma l-ewwel kelmiet li Ġesù qal lill-mifluġ f’din il-ġrajja li baqgħet tissemma – meta erbgħa min-nies ġarrew lil dan il-mifluġ biex Ġesù jfejqu. Meta waslu fejn id-dar fejn kien hemm Ġesù, raw li ma setgħux jidħlu għax kien hemm ħafna nies ġewwa u barra. Għalhekk, li għamlu hu li telgħu fuq is-saqaf, fetħu toqba u niżżluh minn hemm… Read more »
