L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Illum nisimgħu silta oħra mill-Evanġelju ta’ San Ġwann u tixbiha oħra li jagħmel Ġesù tiegħu nnifsu. Il-Ħadd li għadda smajnieh jgħid “Jien ir-ragħaj it-tajjeb” (Ġw 10:14). Illum jieħu t-tixbiha mill-ambjent tal-ħajja tal-bidwi anzi jsejjaħ lill-Missier ‘il-bidwi’. Sejjaħ lilu nnifsu wkoll ‘id-dielja’. U lilna isejħilna ‘l-friegħi ta’ din id-dielja’.

L-Ispeaker tal-Kamra tad-Deputati Anġlu Farrugia inawgura l-wirja tal-arti tat-tfal tal-iskejjel, “Caritas Fest”, fil-Parlament ta’ Malta. Permezz tat-tpinġijiet tagħhom, it-tfal urew “kif huma jixtiequ jaraw lil Malta”, sabiex Malta tibqa’ awtentika, naturali u sabiħa.
Permezz ta din il wirja it-tfal urew ix-xewqa li pajjiżna jkun nadif u ma jitlifx il-pajsaġġ naturali, il-wirt storiku u d-drawwiet tradizzjonali Maltin.
It-tfal wasslu messaġġ wkoll dwar in-numru kbir ta’ vetturi li għandna fit-toroq tagħna, mill-konġestjoni tat-traffiku u mill-kwantità ta’ bini modern li nbena f’dawn l-aħħar snin li ma jpaxxix l-għajn u ma jmurx mal-karattru tad-djar tradizzjonali li nsibu fil-bliet u rħula Maltin… Read more »

Jekk hawn post fejn fih il-Mulej tabilħaqq jgħallimni kemm il-ħajja fiha sorpriżi dan hu, bla dubju, iċ-Ċentru tal-Onkoloġija Sir Anthony Mamo. F’dan l-isptar, il-Mulej dejjem joħroġli b’xi waħda biex bħal jgħallimni li l-ħajja mimlija sorpriżi, mhux koroh biss le imma anki sbieħ. Waħda minnhom hi din.
Niftakarni nidħol għax-xogħol wara l-Għid. Kif dħalt fil-kwartieri tagħna, il-patri li jaqsam ix-xift miegħi u jien miegħu qalli: “Hawn dawn il-kartolini li ħallew studenti tat-tali skola għall-pazjenti… Read more »
