Thanksgiving Mass with the newly ordained priests

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Min jaf kemm-il darba lil Ġesù ngħidulu dak li qalulu l-Lhud: “Kemm se ddum taqlgħalna ruħna?” (Ġw10:24), għax jitlobna xi ħaġa u nħossuha tassew diffiċli. Aħna nafu li Ġesù hu l-Iben t’Alla. Ma naħsibx li għandna problema bl-identità tiegħu. Imma l-isfida li jagħmlilna hi li nkunu parti mill-merħla tiegħu.

“In-nagħaġ tiegħi jisimgħu leħni, u jiena nagħrafhom, u huma jimxu warajja” (Ġw 22:27)… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Kull sena naqraw silta minn kapitlu 10 tal-Evanġelju ta’ San Ġwann, fejn Ġesù jippreżenta lilu nnifsu bħala r-Ragħaj it-Tajjeb. Fis-silta ta’ din is-sena — forsi l-iżjed waħda magħrufa — insibu din l-espressjoni qawwija: “Jiena r-Ragħaj it-Tajjeb. Ir-ragħaj it-tajjeb jagħti ħajtu għan-nagħaġ tiegħu” (Ġw 10:11). Fl-Evanġelju sabiħ tal-lum din il-frażi kemm-il darba nisimgħuha: ‘li tagħti ħajtek’. Ġesù, biex jispjegaha juża diversi tixbihat… Read more »
