Fil-jiem li għaddew fil-Kappella tad-Dar tal-Kleru tqiegħed salib li jirraffigura lil Kristu Saċerdot imsallab imma f’pożizzjoni ta’ qawmien. Dan tpitter minn Dun Peter Paul Sultana li hu l-amministratur parrokkjali tal-parroċċa tal-Manikata. Il-pittura saret fuq l-injam wara li nħadmet bil-ġibs. Is-salib tbierek mill-Arċisqof Emeritus Pawlu Cremona.
Dwar il-pittura, is-saċerdot spjega li fil-fidi naraw is-salib bħala punt ta’ tluq għall-qawmien ta’ Ġesù. Għalhekk f’din il-pittura naraw lil Kristu f’direzzjoni ta’ qawmien, anke l-idejn ta’ Kristu jidhru li mhumiex fin-nofs tal-ispazju tal-injama orizzontali tas-salib, iżda qegħdin iktar ’il fuq sabiex jesprimi moviment ’il fuq, li jissimbolizza l-qawmien… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Eċċellenza, għażiż President tar-Repubblika, Mr Speaker, Onor. Ministru, Kap tal-Oppożizzjoni, imma fuq kollox ukoll lilek Onor. Prim Imħallef, membri kollha tal-Ġudikatura, intom u tibdew sena forensi ġdida, sena ta’ ħidma fil-Qrati tal-Ġustizzja, l-Evanġelju tal-lum jagħtina ħjiel ta’ x’għandha tkun il-missjoni tagħkom. Il-parabbola li aħna nafuha bħalha dik tas-Samaritan it-tajjeb, hi instigata minn wieħed minnkom, minn għaref tal-Liġi. Jiena jogħġobni ħafna dan it-titlu: ‘bniedem tal-Liġi li huwa għaref’ u nawgura li kull min hu espert u tgħallem iħaddem il-Liġi jkollu wkoll l-għerf mhux biss ix-xjenxa għax ix-xjenza tajba, imma l-għerf jagħti r-ruħ lix-xjenza… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Ġesu jagħżel 12 u jsejħilhom appostli. It-talba ta’ dan il-grupp hi t-talba f’isimna lkoll: “Kattar fina l-fidi” (Lq 17:5). Hi talba li għandna bżonnha. Ħafna drabi aħna marbutin mar-reliġjon u nagħmlu sewwa. Ir-religjon hi dak kollu li jgħinna niġu f’kuntatt ma’ Alla personalment u bħala komunità, bħala familja. Ir-reliġjon allura hi magħmula wkoll mis-sinjali konkreti, mir-ritwali tagħna. Aħna Malta għandna tradizzjonijiet qawwija u antiki… Read more »
