To avoid offending them – Bishop Galea-Curmi

08/08/2022   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Biex ma tkun ta’ ebda skandlu għalihom…” (Mt 17:27). Dan hu l-kliem li jgħid Ġesù, fl-Evanġelju, skont San Mattew lil Pietru meta jgħidlu jmur iħallas it-taxxa. Pietru kien iltaqa’ ma’ dawk li kienu qed jiġbru t-taxxa għat-tempju, u staqsewh jekk l-Imgħallem, jiġifieri Ġesù, kienx iħallas it-taxxa.

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Le, merħla ċkejkna, tibżgħu xejn, għax Missieri għoġbu jagħtikom is-Saltna” (Lq 12:32).

Ftit qabel, Ġesù kien qed jgħid lid-dixxipli tiegħu li huma ma għandhomx jittieħdu, jinkwetaw fuq ħafna affarijiet li huma sekondarji, imma għandhom jaħsbu fis-Saltna ta’ Alla… Read more »
