Mass on Maundy Thursday

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Santu Wistin għandu espressjoni fil-ktieb tiegħu Il-Belt ta’ Alla li kiteb fis-seklu ħamsa. Tgħid hekk, bil-Latin: “libido dominandi”. Tfisser: il-kilba biex taħkem, biex tiddomina. Hu juri kif fir-realtà tal-ħajja tagħna – qed jitkellem dak iż-żmien, imma nafu li hekk hu wkoll fi żmienna – fin-nies kultant bejniethom, fis-soċjetajiet, bejn in-nazzjonijiet, hemm din il-kilba biex taħkem li ma tħallix lill-bniedem jirraġuna; il-bniedem jispiċċa hu stess immexxi minn din il-kilba… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
“Il-kalċi mbierek huwa xirka mad-demm ta’ Kristu” (Salm 115). Meta l-Appostlu Missierna San Pawl jikteb lill-Korintin jinsisti li t-tagħlim li aħna nemmnu fih u li qegħdin nikkomemoraw, inġeddu u nfakkru llum, irċevih mingħand il-Mulej. “Jiena rċevejt mingħand il-Mulej it-tagħlim li għaddejt lilkom, jiġifieri, li l-Mulej Ġesù fil-lejl li fih kien ittradut, ħa l-ħobż wara li radd il-ħajr qasmu u qal: ‘Dan hu ġismi li jingħata għalikom; agħmlu dan b’tifkira tiegħi’… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
“Sibt ’il David, qaddej tiegħi, biż-żejt imqaddes tiegħi dliktu” (Salm 88:21). Il-Knisja tagħżel Salm 88 biex tiċċelebra dak li qegħdin nagħmlu. Iż-żejt imqaddes li l-isqof ibierek, f’isem il-Knisja u f’isem Ġesù, hu żejt li noffru imma li jsir strument, aġent tal-grazzja. “Biż-żejt imqaddes tiegħi dliktu” (Salm 88:21) u l-Mulej, ma’ din id-dilka qaddisa, iwiegħed ukoll il-fedeltà, it-tjieba u l-qawwa… Read more »
