L-omelija tal-Ar\u010bisqof Charles Jude Scicluna<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Nirringrazzjakom \u0127afna, li g\u0127a\u017ciltu li ti\u0121u g\u0127al din il-quddiesa, u li g\u0127andi \u010bans, inkellimkom xi ftit. L-ewwel kelma li nixtieq ng\u0127idilkom hi kelma ta\u2019 kura\u0121\u0121 g\u0127ax \u0127afna drabi ji\u0121ru affarijiet f\u2019\u0127ajjitna li jaqtg\u0127ulna qalbna. Jew ma nkunux \u010berti li hemm xi \u0127add li tassew i\u0127obbna u jkollna b\u017conn kbir, li a\u0127na n\u0127ossuna ma\u0127bubin; li xi \u0127add hu tassew \u0127abib jew \u0127abiba; li xi \u0127add hemm barra, jew qrib tieg\u0127i, jag\u0127ti kasi u jimpurtah minni. L-ewwel kelma li jg\u0127idlek \u0120es\u00f9, jekk inti ttih \u010bans, hu: Jiena n\u0127obbok, jiena nag\u0127ti \u0127ajti g\u0127alik. Hawn \u0127afna reli\u0121jonijiet fid-dinja na\u0127seb anke fl-iskola tag\u0127kom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

X\u2019jag\u0127milna Nsara? Alla li nemmnu fih a\u0127na ta \u0127ajtu g\u0127alina; Alla, li permezz ta\u2019 Ibnu, li sar bniedem, qalilna din il-kelma: \u201cKif \u0127abbni missieri, hekk \u0127abbejtkom jien\u201d (\u0120w 15:9).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan hu Alla, li a\u0127na nxandru, u li fih nemmnu. Hu Alla li qal, il-\u0127abib jew il-\u0127abiba, tag\u0127ti \u0127ajjitha, jag\u0127ti \u0127ajtu. \u201cM\u2019hemmx im\u0127abba ikbar minn din: li wie\u0127ed jag\u0127ti \u0127ajtu g\u0127al \u0127biebu\u201d (\u0120w 15:13). G\u0127ax inti tista\u2019 tag\u0127ti milli jkollok, imma li tag\u0127ti \u0127ajtek! U \u0120es\u00f9, ma qag\u0127adx ja\u0127sibha darbtejn. Ta \u0127ajtu g\u0127alina, u g\u0127alhekk, g\u0127al kull wie\u0127ed u kull wa\u0127da minna, sar l-ikbar \u0127abib.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issa intom u tiskopru s-sbu\u0127ija tal-im\u0127abba f\u2019\u0127ajjitkom, fil-\u0127olm tag\u0127kom, fil-\u0127biberija ta\u2019 bejnietkom; ippermettuli, ta\u2019 ra\u0121el xi\u0127. Jien daqt nag\u0127laq 65, suppost bil-pensjoni, imma qaluli li g\u0127ad baqag\u0127li. G\u0127ax l-isqof ta\u2019 75 sena jirtira, jekk il-Papa jidde\u010biedi li j\u0127allini naqra kwiet; ji\u0121ifieri g\u0127ad fadalli 10 snin.

Imma l-isqof x\u2019jag\u0127mel? L-ewwel nett ma tapplikax biex issir isqof. Isejja\u0127lek in-Nunzju, li hu l-ambaxxatur tal-Papa, b\u0127alma \u0121rali jiena fl-2015, kwa\u017ci 10 snin ilu. In-Nunzju qalli, li l-Papa jixtieq li nkun l-Ar\u010bisqof ta\u2019 Malta. A\u0127na hawnhekk, ng\u0127idulu ar\u010bisqof, mhux g\u0127ax hu ikbar mill-o\u0127rajn, imma hu titlu li d-djo\u010besi ta\u2019 Malta g\u0127andha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imma jien l-ewwel vokazzjoni tieg\u0127i, hi li nag\u0127ti \u0127ajti b\u0127ala rag\u0127aj; b\u0127ala dak li jg\u0127allem, jie\u0127u \u0127sieb, imexxi, u jkun anke xhud.

L-isqof irid ikun ukoll xhud biex il-kelma li j\u0127abbar jg\u0127ixha wkoll. \u0126afna drabi l-isqof hu msejja\u0127 jie\u0127u pa\u010benzja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forsi hawn min qed ja\u0127seb \u2018tg\u0127idli x\u2019tg\u0127idli, jien m\u2019iniex g\u0127al qassis; jien irrid ni\u017c\u017cewwe\u0121\u2019. U ta\u2019 dan nawguralek.

Jekk tag\u0127\u017cel persuna f\u2019\u0127ajtek, g\u0127a\u017clu jew g\u0127a\u017cilha g\u0127ax t\u0127obbu, g\u0127ax t\u0127obbha. U l-im\u0127abba tfisser, li trid tie\u0127u pa\u010benzja; g\u0127ax ming\u0127ajr pa\u010benzja m\u2019hemmx im\u0127abba vera; g\u0127ax l-im\u0127abba vera mhix ir\u0127isa, mhix tal-likes ta\u2019 Facebook.

G\u0127andek ra\u0121un, jiddispja\u010bik. Imma ma waqg\u0127etx id-dinja. Inti bravu g\u0127ax g\u0127andek \u0127afna followers jew g\u0127andek \u0127afna likes? A\u0127na rridu nkunu xhieda fil-qalb tag\u0127na minn ta\u2019 min a\u0127na. Din hi kultura, li rridu nbiddluha bid-de\u010bi\u017cjonijiet tag\u0127na. Li l-bniedem hu tajjeb, anke kif in\u0127arsu lejn xulxin.

Il-\u0127bieb ippruvahom! G\u0127addihom mill-e\u017cami. Hemm e\u017camijiet tal-\u0127ajja, li mhumiex orali jew bil-miktub, imma li huma ta\u2019 vera.

Jekk kelb fit-triq jag\u0127tih bis-sieq, se jirrispetta lili!

U l-Mulej, li ta \u0127ajtu g\u0127alina, jg\u0127allimna l-ikbar kmandament. X\u2019inhu? Mhux li tmur il-quddies. Dak tajjeb. Imma l-ewwel, li t\u0127obb lil Alla u lill-proxxmu tieg\u0127ek b\u0127alek innifsek. G\u0127ax \u0120es\u00f9 jg\u0127id, li trid t\u0127obb lilek innifsek billi tie\u0127u \u0127sieb sa\u0127\u0127tek, is-sa\u0127\u0127a fi\u017cika u mentali; li tfittex \u0127bieb tajbin; li tevita d-droga, u l-vizzji li j\u0127assrulek qalbek, anke kif nu\u017caw l-internet.

It-talb mhux xi \u0127a\u0121a li tg\u0127id bl-amment imma li inti tag\u0127raf lill-\u0126allieq u tapprezza b\u2019liema barka berikna.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
