L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù jidher quddiem Pilatu fi stat ta’ arrest, umiljat, quddiem il-poter ċivili. “X’għamilt?” (Ġw 18:35), jistaqsih Pilatu. Aħna u nippreparaw għas-Sena tal-Ġublew, sena li l-Papa jixtieqha tkun, kif qalilna lilna l-isqfijiet fis-17 ta’ Mejju li għadda, meta ltqajna miegħu fil-Vatikan. Xtaq li s-Sena tal-Ġublew, li se nibdew minn hawn u ftit ġimgħat oħra, ħa nikkwota lill-Papa bit-Taljan kif kellimna: ‘Una grande festa di misericordia’, ‘festa kbira ta’ ħniena’… Read more »

Our freedom must start from the heart – The Archbishop to the inmates

Holy Mass on the feast of Christ the King

24/11/2024   The Chapel of the Lord's Transfiguration at Corradino Correctional Facility, Paola

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

L-Evanġelju li ntgħażel din is-sena għall-festa ta’ Kristu Re jippreżenta lil Ġesù taħt arrest. Wara lejl ta’ interrogazzjoni mis-Sinedriju, u l-kundanna tal-poplu tiegħu, jinġieb quddiem Pilatu għax il-Lhud kienu interessati li lil Ġesù jakkużawh b’xi ħaġa li twasslu għall-mewt. Id-djalogu bejn din il-persuna arrestata u ttorturata (li hu Ġesù) u l-poter Ruman hu djalogu, li llum jipprova jispjegalna min hu Ġesù Sultan… Read more »

“The Church is like a hospital in a battlefield; be enriched with the balm of the word” – Mons. Hector Scerri

23/11/2024

Mons. Hector Scerri ppubblika ktieb bl-isem ‘Chiesa, Vieni Fuori’ li jitratta riflessjoni dwar il-Knisja li reġgħet inġabret mill-ġdid.

Waqt it-tnedija ta’ żewġ kotba, wieħed tiegħu u l-ieħor ta’ Mons. Alfred Xuereb dwar l-esperjenza tiegħu mal-Papa Benedittu XVI fir-Refettorju tal-Kurja tal-Arċisqof fil-Furjana, Scerri qal li l-Knisja nġabret mill-ġdid wara li għaddiet “minn dak li nsejħulu eżilju eżistenzjali.”

Kompla li “fid-dawl tal-kelma ta’ Alla anki f’dak li nsibu fil-kotba ta’ Neħemija u Eżra hija l-Knisja li tinġabar mill-ġdid kif għamlu l-profeti fit-testment il-qadim li ġabru l-Knisja mill-ġdid”… Read more »
