Peace: the greatest gift Jesus gives us – The Archbishop

Mass offered to all nurses, whether Maltese or foreigners, serving in our hospitals and residential homes

12/05/2020 The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa, the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Din is-silta mill-kapitlu 14 ta’ San Ġwann, hija meħuda mid-diskors ta’ Ġesù fl-aħħar ikla mad-dixxipli tiegħu. Ftit sigħat wara dan id-diskors Ġesù jiġi arrestat u tibda t-tortura ħarxa tiegħu, il-passjoni tiegħu u l-mewt fuq is-salib.

Imma f’dan il-kuntest Ġesù jitkellem dwar is-sliem, il-paċi tal-qalb. “Jiena nħallilkom is-sliem, nagħtikom is-sliem tiegħi” (Ġw 14:27). Dawn huma kliem li aħna nfakkru f’kull quddiesa qabel is-saċerdot jgħidilna biex nagħtu l-paċi lil xulxin… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

Fl-Evanġelju kollu, hemm darba biss li jissemma Ġuda bil-kliem li hu qal – Ġuda mhux l-Iskarjota imma l-appostlu l-ieħor. Proprju fl-Evanġelju tal-lum, meta jagħmel dik il-mistoqsija: “Mulej, din kif inhi li int se turi ruħek lilna u mhux lid-dinja?”

Kien hemm diversi li staqsew mistoqsijiet lil Ġesù f’dak id-diskors tal-aħħar ċena għax riedu li jifhmu aktar ċar – bħal Tumas u Filippu… Read more »

L-Omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Jiena t-triq, il-verità u l-ħajja”. Dan huwa l-kliem li smajna lil Ġesù jgħid lid-dixxipli tiegħu fl-Evanġelju tal-lum.

Nixtieqkom tinnutaw kif dan il-kliem ta’ Ġesù – it-triq, il-verità u l-ħajja – imiss xewqat mill-aktar profondi li għandna fil-qalb tagħna.

Xewqa li għandna hi żgur li nkunu nafu t-triq, li nkunu fit-triq it-tajba. Ngħiduha kemm-il darba f’ħajjitna u nħossuha, li aħna nixtiequ li l-mixja tal-ħajja tagħna tkun fit-triq it-tajba… Read more »
