Words of Wisdom

Nafdaw ukoll li Alla jidħol f’ħajjitna, u hemm ikun hemm is-salvazzjoni.

Dan Żakkew kien publikan u sinjur – mela kien sterjotipat li kien diżonest, u l-kredibilità tiegħu zero.  U minflok Żakkew stieden lil Ġesù għal ikel, Ġesù stieden lilu nnifsu għal din l-ikla. U b’dan kollu Ġesù jaċċettah bħala wieħed li miegħu setgħa jaqsam ċertu valuri u ċertu ‘understandings’. Ukoll, jurih li miegħu wieħed jista’ jagħmel komunità. U għalhekk imbagħad kien hemm ir-reazzjoni għal dan kollu mill-folla. Kien hemm ostilità kbira. […]

vjaġġ mis-suppervja għall-umiltà…

Hemm vjaġġ li kollha kemm aħna għandna nagħmlu – dan huwa l-vjaġġ li mis-supervja ngħaddu għall-umiltà. Ħa naraw aspett li wkoll rajnih fl-Evanġelju – il-farizew li jafda fih inifsu li huwa tajjeb u fl-istess ħin imaqdar lil ħaddieħor….Iċċentra fuqu inifsu li huwa biss tajjeb u jiġġudika lil oħrajn b’mod negattiv fuq bażi esterna…Imma Alla jħares lejn il-qalb u jara stampa differenti. Kemm jiġrilna li kważi nixxukjaw ruħna meta niskopru li

Ġesù jsejħilna biex nitolbu “bla ma naqtgħu”

Għandna parabbola li turina kif għandna nitolbu dejjem u bla ma naqgħtu qalbna. Nitolbu ta’ kuljum u mhux meta jkollna bżonn xi ħaġa. Ġesù jsejħilna biex nitolbu “bla ma naqtgħu”. Kollha ngħaddu minn mumenti ta’ għejja u ta’ qtigħ il-qalb, fuq kollox meta t-talba tagħna donnha m’hix tħalli frott. Imma Ġesù jiżgurana: b’differenza mill-imħallef diżonest, Alla malajr jisma’ lil uliedu, anki jekk dan ma jfissirx li jagħmlu skond iż-żminijiet u

Created to share God’s love

The fundamental vocation of every human being is to love. This is not obvious to everyone today. Many people believe that human life is just an accident, a chance product of evolution, a meaningless event in a vast mechanical universe. It is certainly true that our lives have been shaped by many different forces, but there is a much deeper truth that we can discover through faith: Every single human

Mill-esklużjoni għal inklużjoni

Fi żmien Ġesù, li xi ħadd ikun marid bil-lebbra, kien mwarrab u eskluż mis-soċjetà.  Issa wkoll Samaritan huwa persuna eskluża għaliex il-Lhud u s-Samaritani ma kienux jmorru tajjeb bejniethom.  Fl-istorja li għandna, dan ir-raġel kien eskluż doppjament, kemm bħala Samaritan u bħala lebbruż. U llum, min huma ‘l-lebbrużi’ moderni? Lil min qed neskludu? Eżempju: xi ħadd li ma jaqbilx magħna u għandu opinjoni differenti, xi ħadd ta’ kulur politiku ieħor,

Kattar fina l-Fidi…

  Hija karba li llum għandha eku. Li nagħmlu mistosqijiet fuq il-fidi tagħna huwa eżerċizzju san. Il-fidi ma nistgħu npoġġuha fuq l-ixkaffa sakemm nużawha, għaliex imbagħad niskopru li saret dgħajfa u bla sens mill-użu tagħha u ma ssostniniex. U għalhekk il-virtu tal-integrita tinvolvi eżerċizzju importanti li tgħina wkoll fil-mumenti ta’ sfida. Li tkun bniedem bil-fidi huwa aktar itqal illum milli kien qatt qabel?
