L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Ġesù jitkellem dwar it-tmexxija, it-tmexxija anke fil-Knisja. Ħafna affarijiet li hu jilmenta dwarhom insibuhom ukoll fostna, fil-qalb tagħna. U aħna nitolbu f’dan il-jum tar-Randan biex il-Mulej isaffina minn kull frugħa, dik li l-Papa Franġisku jsejjaħlu l-ispirtu tal-mondanità, l-ispirtu tad-dinja li jitħallat mal-affarijiet qaddisa, ħallata ballata, u jitbiegħed mit-tagħlim ta’ Ġesù.
Imma ħaġa li ta’ min naħsbu ħafna fuqha, l-aħwa, hi propju l-mod kif inħarsu lejn xulxin u niġġudikaw lil xulxin għax dan l-Evanġelju jsegwi fuq dak li smajna anke lbieraħ meta qalilna: “tiġġudikawx u ma tkunux iġġudikati; tikkudannawx u ma tkunux ikkundannati” (Lq 6:37)… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Din is-silta qasira mill-Evanġelju skont San Luqa għandha messaġġ qawwi ħafna għal ħajjitna, mhux biss għal xi ċirkustanza partikulari imma għall-ħajja ordinarja tagħna.
Ġesù lid-dixxipli tiegħu qed jgħidilhom: “Tiġġudikawx… tikkundannawx”. Aħna nafu li fil-ħajja tagħna kultant niġġudikaw u nikkundannaw, u jiġrilna hekk għax ngħaddu l-ġudizzji tagħna fuq dak li jidher minn barra, jew dak li nkunu smajna fuq xi ħadd, jew l-impressjoni li jkollna, u dan faċli jwassalna għal ġudizzju tal-persuna, anke tal-qalb tal-persuna… Read more »
Dear brothers and sisters, buongiorno!
The Gospel of the Liturgy of this second Sunday of Lent narrates the Transfiguration of Jesus (cf. Lk 9: 28-36). While praying on a high mountain, he changes in appearance, his robe becomes bright and radiant, and in the light of his glory Moses and Elijah appear, who speak with him about the Passover that awaits him in Jerusalem, namely, his passion, death and resurrection… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Il-ġrajja tat-Trasfigurazzjoni tal-Mulej fuq il-muntanja hi ġrajja li baqgħet stampata fil-moħħ u fil-qalb ta’ dawk it-tlett iħbieb ta’ ġewwa li Ġesù ħa miegħu – Pietru, Ġwanni u Ġakbu.
X’jiġri fuq din il-muntanja? Ġesù, jgħidilna San Luqa fl-Evanġelju, tela’ hemm bi skop: biex jitlob. U kien proprju huwa u jitlob li sseħħ bidla li jistgħu jarawha t-tlett iħbieb: fid-dehra ta’ wiċċu, u l-ilbiesi li saru ta’ bjuda li tgħammex… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Ġesù jkompli jgħallimna fuq it-talb; u jgħallimna l-fiduċja fuq it-talb. Ħafna drabi, meta jkollna sitwazzjoni diffiċli, bħalma hi din l-invażjoni terribbli u kiefra tal-Ukrajna; u aħna ngħidu ħa nitolbu. Dak li jkun jista’ jiddarras u jgħid: ‘issa x’se nagħmlu bit-talb, mela t-talb għandu xi saħħa kontra l-armamenti?’ Irridu nammettu li dawn iċ-ċirkostanzi jpoġġuni fi kriżi ta’ fidi. Iġagħluna nistaqsu: ‘Imma t-talb tagħna, għandu effett?’ Il-Mulej qed iqanqalna biex nagħmlu att ta’ fiduċja u ta’ fidi fih għax dak li m’aħniex kapaċi nagħmlu bir-rieda tajba tagħna u b’idejna; irid jieħu ħsiebu Hu… Read more »
