L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Din hi silta qasira ħafna tal-Mulej Ġesù li jistedinna nersqu lejh: “Ejjew għandi” (Mt 11:28), waħda forsi mis-siltiet l-iżjed għeżież u l-istediniet l-iżjed kommoventi ta’ Ġesù.

L-istedina li nersqu lejh tfisser ukoll li nkunu intimi miegħu. “Ejjew għandi u jiena nserraħkom” (Mt 11:28). Hi, biex ngħidu hekk, wegħda sabiħa dik li jagħtina Ġesù li meta nkunu tassew ħbieb tiegħu u ħbieb tal-Evanġelju l-qalb tagħna tistrieħ fil-kwiet, fil-paċi anke meta l-ħajja ma tkunx faċli… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Omm ta’ Ġesù, ħu ħsiebi int, kun ommi tul is-snin”. Dan hu l-kliem li għadna kif kantajna fl-innu tad-dħul għall-quddiesa, u hu l-kliem li jfisser b’mod sabiħ ħafna l-festa li qed niċċelebraw illum tal-Madonna tal-Karmnu, patruna ta’ dan il-post.

Rigal kbir fil-mument tal-akbar tbatija

Għadna kif rajna fl-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann, lil Ġesù fuq is-salib, fl-aktar mumenti diffiċli ta’ tbatija għall-ħajja tiegħu… Read more »
