L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Ħafna drabi staqsejt lili nnifsi: imma dawn it-tliet kelmiet ta’ Ġesù dwar l-iżball tad-dinja, xi jfissru eżattament? Għax il-Mulej jgħid li meta jiġi l-Ispirtu s-Santu, meta jingħata l-Ispirtu s-Santu jipperswadina dwar l-ideat żbaljati li għandha d-dinja dwar tliet affarijiet. U rrid nammetti li ħafna drabi ninduna li anke jien naqa’ f’dan l-iżball għax qiegħed fid-dinja u kultant nittieħed mill-ispirtu tad-dinja… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Waħda mill-affarijiet sbieħ li jgħallimna l-Evanġelju hi li biex titkellem fuq Alla trid taħseb f’kelma waħda importanti u dik hi l-imħabba; mhux il-biża’, mhux il-kefrija, il-ġudizzju jew il-kundanna, imma l-imħabba.
Il-Mulej ma jitlobx minna la l-biża’, la l-ubbidjenza għamja, ma jitlobx minna s-sottomissjoni ta’ skjav, jitlob minna l-imħabba. U l-imħabba tagħna tkun risposta għall-imħabba li rċevejna: “Jekk tħobbuni ħarsu l-kmandamenti tiegħi” (Ġw 14:15)… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
“Aħna nħobbu għax hu ħabbna l-ewwel” (1Ġw 4:19). Din il-frażi mill-ewwel ittra ta’ San Ġwann appostlu hi programm għal kull Nisrani imma b’mod speċjali għalina s-saċerdoti. Aħna nħobbu. Il-missjoni tagħna hi li nkunu mħabba. Imma din il-missjoni ġejja mill-persważjoni, mill-konsapelovezza, mill-għarfien, mill-fidi li hu Alla l-imbierek ħabbna l-ewwel.
Ħabbna l-ewwel fil-misteru tal-ħolqien tagħna. Ħabbna l-ewwel fil-misteru tal-fidwa tagħna, f’Ibnu Ġesù… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Tajjeb li niftakru li dan il-kliem Ġesù qalu fil-mument għażiż; aħna nafuh bħala l-mument tal-aħħar ċena propju f’Ħamis ix-Xirka. Qiegħed mad-dixxipli tiegħu. Qegħdin jieklu l-aħħar ikla qabel jingħata f’idejn l-għedewwa tiegħu biex jagħmlu bih li jridu.
Imma d-djalogu mqanqal, sabiħ tal-Mulej Ġesù ma’ sħabu hu wkoll okkażjoni fejn nifhmu eżattament xi jrid jgħidilna Ġesù fuq l-affarijiet l-iżjed għeżież… Read more »
